April 2016 Patreon Collection

Another month has passed again and there was a good number of maps done during April. This was not a super-productive month, but still I was able to squeeze together a few maps. Most of them were custom maps for my $3 and $5 reward level patrons, but I must say that some of the April's maps became my current favorites. 

Then some news and updates:

The April Collection

The April's collection is attached with this post and it can be also downloaded from Dropbox, HERE.

Video Stream Stuff, again...

This is pending, but things are set up now. I'm still struggling to get a decent steaming connection, but seems that it wont happen. So, please, let me know if you have any questions or suggestions for a map topic and I'll try to address those in the video. 

DrivethruRPG and RPGnow

I finally got to setup a publisher's account (link) to One BookShelf which includes DrivethruRPG and RPGnow marketplaces. I have some of my Finnish RPG products there on sale, but I have added some of my maps too. The maps that I had already published for free previously, are now priced as Pay What you Want. More recent maps I have put on sale with a fixed price, and I have shared only one basic version of the maps for free on my blog. I feel it's better for you people who support my work to get more value for your support. Also, patrons still get all the maps a month before they are added to One BookShelf's marketplaces or shared on my blog. 

I have not yet had the time to do map collections or such releases, but when I do, all patrons pledging $1 or more will get a free copy of those. And when I do printed products (P.O.D.) of my Patreon related releases, all patrons pledging $3 or more will get to order those with the price of the printing costs. 

Miska's Maps on Instagram 

I have setup a new account on Instagram that I will use only for my maps and other such pictures. If you use Instagram, please, follow @miskasmaps HERE.

My other RPG projects

This is not dorectly related to my Patreon, but I though this might interest some of you. As I might have mentioned I have been publishing RPG in Finnish since 2006 through my own company Ironspine. Last summer we started working on our first English products. We are still working on those, but the English translation of Astraterra (an adventure RPG I designed together with my kids) should be done by the summer. 

I'm working now on a new (Finnish) military scifi RPG project Sotakarjut (engl. "Warhogs") that has been on hiatus since 2011, but I want to get it done so I can concentrate on other upcoming games. This will probably take quite a lot of my freetime, but it should also offer me opportunities to do maps related to that setting. If this does well in Finland, an English translation is a possibility.

I guess that's it for now. 

Thank you again for your support. It means a lot to me. Let's have a great May :)
