New $6 Patreon Tier

New $6 Patreon Tier

A number of people have asked “How do I join the Gauntlet Slack group?” Up until now, our Slack has been limited to $7 Patrons and people who create things for the Gauntlet. When I originally set it up that way, I didn’t know how vital the Slack would become to the “Gauntlet experience,” so to speak. So many fun conversations, and so much creative inspiration, happens inside our Slack channels, and I’ve been trying to find a way to include more people in that.

I’m making a $6 Patreon tier available that not only gets you an invite to our Slack, but also gives you access to a Hangouts call we’ll be doing monthly starting in May. Also, and this is an entirely unofficial benefit, we tend to fill out our Hangouts games on Slack. $7 Patrons still have RSVP priority, but when a spot here or there needs to be filled, we turn to the Slack first.

You may ask “Why not just make the Slack available for everyone?” The answer is pretty straightforward: it’s much easier to manage, moderate, and enjoy when there are fewer people. We’re much more likely to get the people who really love what we do, and who really want to be there (and therefore will not act like assholes), if we put some restrictions on it.

Thanks!
