Not Writing

<p style="">My name is Michael Elliott and I'm a writer and game designer. I write short stories, I create narrative experiences, and I design role-playing games. Sometimes people pay me to do these things, but most of the time I'm doing it because I love it and other people enjoy it. I've set up this Patreon so that people can support me and my writing, and receive some tangible benefits in return.</p><p style=""></p><p style="">My Patreon is a <strong>Pay What You Can</strong> model. At each pledge level, whether it's $1 or $10, you get access to all my self-published work through itch.io. You'll find these download links on the welcome page after you pledge. All future games will be posted here on my patreon blog. </p><p style=""></p><p style="">You also get access to our ongoing project <strong>Hypothetical Worlds</strong>, where me and my patrons make fictional worlds together.</p><p style=""></p><p style="">My patrons have made it possible for me to develop several tabletop games, RPGs, and game supplements. Over 30 so far, which you can check out on my itch page:</p><p style=""></p><p style=""><a href="https://notwriting.itch.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://notwriting.itch.io/</a></p><p style=""></p><h1 style="">Goals</h1><p style=""></p><p style="">For ease of use you can see the goals for my Patreon page below:</p><p style=""></p><h2 style="">50 Patrons (Achieved!)</h2><p style="">If we get to 50 patrons for a month, I'll post occasional polls that will let you determine one of the projects I will work on. These could be TTRPGs, short stories, or other narrative projects. The poll will run for one month, and the game will be delivered as normal, with patrons getting early access and sneak peeks at development.</p><p style=""></p><h2 style="">100 Patrons</h2><p style="">If we get to 100 patrons for a month, I'll post occasional polls that will let you determine a game that I will bring to Kickstarter. This will likely be an RPG, short story collection, at the very least a physical product you can hold in your hands. The poll will run for one month, and the game will be kickstarted at some point after (these take a while so I make no promises as to how long it will take). Patrons will get early access and sneak peeks at development.</p><p style=""></p><h2 style="">$1,000 a Month</h2><p style="">At $1k a month I'll be making roughly what I would be making as a part-time job here in Canada. This will cover a significant amount of monthly expenses and give me more time to work on projects.</p><p style=""></p><h2 style="">$2,000 a Month</h2><p style="">At $2k a month I'll be making roughly what I would be making as a minimum wage full-time job. This will cover pretty much all my expenses for the month and will give me the freedom to work on larger, more ambitious projects.</p>
