• everything in the Entry Level tier
• regular updates on what I'm working on

Insider
$5
/ monthThis is where things get all super-secret and ninja-like. The Insider tier will get you the following:
• everything in the Entry Level and ONM tiers
• occasional posts in which I reflect on the work I do, and give behind-the-scenes information on the writing process and any challenges I regularly come across, or tips that help me when working
• if I'm working on a list article or a very large one (like a complete history article or the like) I'll share in advance a portion of the article so you can read some of it before anyone else
• behind-the-scenes looks at whatever book I'm working on at the moment (currently the Mega Drive Encyclopedia). As various bits and pieces pop up during the course of writing the book, I'll share them with you: be that interesting challenges or decisions to make, or captured footage of games I've discovered or re-discovered during the process

Maniac
$10
/ monthReally? Steady on there, Professor Moneybags. Anyway, if you're mad enough to drop a ten-spot on me every month you'll get:
• everything in the Entry Level, ONM and Insider tiers
• occasional posts discussing how life and work is going in general, going deeper and a little more personal than in the previous tiers
• I'll give honest feedback and advice on any of your own games writing over email, as and when needed (within reason: I don't have the free time to be a daily tutor!)
• I'll occasionally ask maniacs for recommendations on a retro game to review: assuming I'm able to get access to them, these games will 100% be covered on the site
