New Goal: Patron-Only Livestreaming

I'm considering livestreaming again but not on Twitch. As awesome as that platform is, it doesn't allow for private streams and I sort of want to have patron-only streams.  Not only would I LOVE to do some live cartography classes (available to patrons at the Surveyor level & higher), I'd also like to have some regular hang-outs (all levels) without the constant off comments from strangers who happen across my channel.  I want to feel less like I'm "streaming content" and more like I'm just hanging out being creative.  I'd like to be able to share more of me in my daily life without the worry of trolls.  

I looked into several options and think I'm just going to go with Vimeo. I already use them for the cartography course and more so I feel that will be perfect.  They have lots of options without being outrageously priced.

However, it does cost an additional $75 a month to use the service (most are easily $100 and up monthly) so I've set a new goal to offset that.  If we reach it before the new year, I will host at least a few livestreams this year but not have a full schedule until 2019 to make things easier.

Once I do have a regular schedule, I plan on hosting at least 1 cartography class livestream a week and at least 1 world building livestream a week.  These will be for the Surveyor and Master Explorer levels respectively.  On top of that, I hope to have at least 1 other livestream a week for all patrons of just hanging out in my studio with me.  More if I'm able.  

If this goes well, I'll be adding some new goals for a better camera and more livestreams once Bre starts working with me.  So yes, you'll get to meet her too and check out all the awesome things she does to create some of the products I sell. 

How you can help: If you would be ever so kind as to share my Patreon with your social networks (feel free to tag me if you want - links below), use any of the below images, and possibly mention that I offer free maps & art for the RPG community or my cartography class to help them decide to become patrons, that would be awesome!

Thank you all for your love & support!  I hope you'll join me once I start streaming!
