Absolutely not, at least in my case. I am unsure what's got you worrying about that other than perhaps your previous post about real life and finances. It is perfectly reasonable to ask your readers, on your website, if they have any money to send your way. After all, you have provided a stupendous amount of quality writing for free. I see nothing wrong or shameful with spelling out the situation as you have done to let people make an informed choice.
If something else is on your mind that's got you doubting... well, I'm not a mind reader, and won't try to give counsel without first having some idea of what the trouble is.
The quality of your content has been steadily improving. I know because I discovered your work in 2012, spent the better part of a year catching up on it all, and I've been a steady (almost daily) reader ever since. I can say with absolute assurance that you are worth every bit of support.
No, really, I cannot stress this enough: I keep tabs on maybe a half dozen D&D blogs and yours is the gold standard. No one pits out as much content; no other content is an informative or vapuable; and although iveIhad to pull back my Patreon support for other artists, I cannot in good conscience stop supporting you.
If you need to take some time for yourself, you've more than earned it.
Alexis, you continue to be the best D&D blogger on the web, and you certainly haven't let this reader down! I just increased my monthly Patreon donation. It's not much, but I hope it helps. I wish you all the best, and thank you for all the great content you provide!
Not me either. Yours is the only d&d site I check multiple times a day for new content. I've pulled my patreon subscription from everyone I used to follow/support but, like Ozymandias, I could not pull my support from you. Not because you asked for it, but because I've gotten so much from you and know I will until long after you stop writing (please don't be soon).
You are not. Your longtime readers know your idosyncrasies, and can stomach several hex-stocking posts in a row while waiting for juicier DM/player interaction theory. And your 5E posts will hugely benefit more casual or recent readers, who really need all the antidote they can get against the insidious poison of Mearls/Colville/Mercer's "heroic storytelling".
A few years ago I read through a large number of D&D blogs' archives. I found very few of them were worthwhile to continue following as they released new posts, and my list dwindled very quickly.
Now, while I read/watch a small amount of RPG material from sources that cover other topics as well, this is the ONLY dedicated RPG blog I still follow, nevermind check it on a daily basis.
It wasn't anywhere near the first D&D blog I came across, but you're the only one producing this sort of truly thought-provoking content.
It might not be much, but I'll be upping my monthly Patreon subscription.

Not even close.

Not me, certainly.

Most assuredly not.
ReplyDeleteOn the contrary. I love the food for thought you serve here. Btw, I'm anxious to read the next installments of your D&D 5th considerations.
ReplyDeleteYou’re good!
ReplyDeleteNope.

You're certainly not letting me down.
