Hello people!
Almost since the inception of this Patreon page and my delving into making maps on a regular basis (thanks to you lovely folk) I have wanted a better means of organizing, viewing, and understanding the maps I put out from your perspective. While Patreon is great for so many things in establishing a means of you all getting to easily and affordably support me, it has had problems in the past in actually making my content easier for you to consume. This problem has only grown worse as my 'library' of content has grown and as a result so to has my desire to make it.. better.
So, enter the subreddit!
While I don't necessarily think Reddit is perfect for this either, I think it is a huge step in the right direction in terms of making it as clear as possible what is out there and how you can access it as supporting patrons. While it's just a wee thing right now, I have gone ahead and created the Map Archive specifically for it. In that post you will find a list of every map I've made since starting categorized by map type and linked to a preview of the map, the patreon link where you can get its high-resolution variations, the patreon link to its accompanying photoshop file, and when applicable other links like DMsGuild, etc.
In addition I have also posted an album of every map in the Community Library, a collection of maps made by you all using the assets I've published (always taking more submissions for that!). I plan to push both of these resources out to new patrons from here on out and hope that those of you who have been wanting access to an easier means of navigating my content will appreciate it too.
In the future I will likely use it as another platform to release previews of maps, post news about events, and (when I get around to it) share video tutorials or map-making guides. So please consider following the subreddit and as with everything else I do, please let me know how you feel about the decision and ways I could add/improve/etc.
Enjoy!
