The Lantern is Now Tiered

Going forward, for those who are interested in seeing The Lantern PDF, copies must be paid for, either by joining the new $7 tier on my patreon or visiting Lulu. The free offer is no longer publicly available.

The response has been thoroughly positive. People recognise that there's an inherent value in locating session hooks into a narrative told from characters inside the game setting, providing a real, tangible glimpse into the lives and doings of those living within it. I personally believe that it's been a sensational idea: present the module not as a stale formula for the DM to follow, but as a structured step-by-step example of how a party may very well react when coming up to this door, reacting to an unknown sound or falling into some peculiar situation. What's strange for me is that I remain so close to the subject material that I'm finding it difficult to deconstruct just what I like about it so much. Those thoughts still elude me, so that I haven't constructed a blog post about it yet.

The September edition is almost done, though it's not set to be published until the 21st of August. As such, I've decided to offer it on the 1st of August for an additional $3 over the $7 asking price.  That's $10 total, which must be provided on patreon.  Those who already give me a $10 donation on patreon are set up, but if anyone else is anxious and don't want to save $3, you can get on board now and for every month going forward.
