Hey everyone! It’s been a little quiet here and I’m finally in a position to change that. :)
QUICK NEWS UPDATE:
Everyone should have February packages by now. We have a few that were held to work out kinks, but if you haven't received yours please message me. March is coming, but was delayed and will be here in a few weeks. It might hit here around the same time as April. We've been doing a t...

Hello everyone! This crazy month is already reaching the halfway point, so it's time to talk about what you'll be getting in January.
Each month in 2017 you will receive the following (and if you are a Patron as of December 31, 2016, you will receive the January package):
Sorry if you are getting this twice. The first was a draft and was sent by accident because Patreon on mobile is really rough. They just changed it and I think it's even worse. :)
