Patreon Refresh

Greetings, Rogues!  Over the past few weeks, the team has been plotting out some changes for our Patreon.  The world has changed, we have grown, but through all of it one thing has remained constant, and that is your support for us.  For that, we are eternally grateful.  We literally could not and would not want to do this without you all.

Let’s run through the changes now before I need a handkerchief.

Beginning with our steadfast Rogue tier ($5/month), the access to Discord and ScamStuff store perks remain the same, but we are dropping the outtakes and uncut episodes (most of these will still be posted on https://www.youtube.com/scamstuff).  Instead, we are adding a monthly Brian and Jason podcast.  The first of which has already been released, and we hope you enjoyed it!  It will also include conversations and Q&A with any special guests or visitors who might pop in.

Next, our esteemed Operative tier ($10/month) will get to enjoy the benefits in the Rogue tier and a few new things!  Brian and Jason will select podcast topics from your suggestions, you will be invited to a quarterly livestream hangout with the Modern Rogue team, and every quarter you will receive a basic pack of common Modern Rogue trading cards!  This is a brand-new offering from us, and we have personally selected our favorite guests, alter-egos, props, beverages, lore and all kinds of other stuff for these exclusive cards.  We hope you have as much fun collecting and trading them as we have had creating them!  A final note: any time we have bonus material to share, such as outtakes, editor commentary, guest interviews, first pass-edits, or Very Important Meetings, you will get to see it!

On to our intrepid Vanguard tier ($30/month.)  As usual, you will retain access to all goodies in previous tiers.  We bid adieu to the quarterly T-shirts, and are turning our spyglasses toward new frontiers.  You, my dear Vanguard, are now PRODUCERS!  Your name will be listed in the credits (if you want - it is strictly opt-in, as we realize some of you may be on secret missions or otherwise prefer to maintain your anonymity, which we fully understand) as one of the awesome rogues who helped bring this show to life!  You will also get quarterly packs of trading cards, which will contain uncommon cards.  Finally, you will gain access to Jason’s Secret Laboratory, where you will be able to read Jason’s blog, his curated roguish articles, and get a behind the scenes look at what goes into making each episode.

Our dear Commando tier ($100/month.)  What would we do without you?  Let us show our gratitude by giving you all the bounty of the previous tiers, as well as a quarterly parcel with some rare trading cards signed by Brian and Jason.  Once a year, Brian and Jason will record commentary on a Modern Rogue video of your choice and send it to you on a flash drive along with episodes, podcasts, and ephemera curated especially for you.

Valiant Champion tier ($200/month), in the past you have received a prop from the show, probably packed in whatever newspaper remained after we set it on fire.  (I’m just kidding, I know our shipping team packed everything with great care because they’re awesome) Well we’re changing that (the prop presentation, not the shipping team).  Now, along with all prior benefits, you will still receive your prop, but it will be displayed in its own shadowbox, complete with a signed letter of authenticity from the team.  It’s not JUST a makeshift arrow we shot into the changeling’s thorax, it’s a makeshift arrow in a shadowbox!* You will also get VERY rare trading cards, signed by Brian and Jason, and only a few of these will be produced!

*actual props will vary.

Here’s where things get intense (or super chill if you prefer).  Our Mastermind tier ($1000/month) was previously offered to have their name shouted from rooftops (ok maybe just on the title card and CTA credits) and a visit with the rogues during the filming of an episode.  Now we are putting you right into the action (with gloves and goggles!)  Make your own way to Austin, Texas where we will either bring you on screen for an episode, OR just hang out with Brian, Jason, and the rest of the team and experience Austin by way of BBQ, tacos, or just a cookout at Modern Rogue HQ.  Basically, you get here, and we will make an afternoon of it.  You also get EPIC trading cards with your quarterly trading card parcel.  Brian and Jason are the only other people on earth who have these!

Finally, the crescendo approaches, with our adventurous Titan tier ($10,000/month)!  The crowd is deafening, the heavens open, and-- ah right, sorry, the details.  You get all prior benefits.  AND you get the Full Modern Rogue Weekend.  Get yourself down to Austin, Texas and pick FOUR roguish topics (options TBD) to explore with the team.  Finally, you will also get a Legendary Modern Rogue Trading card.  There is only one in existence.

That about sums it up, dear rogues.  If you have any questions about the tier changes, please reach out to Annaliese or Cory.

All our gratitude,

The Modern Rogue Team
