      Speaking of D&D Patreons, Conflux Creatures creates more interesting versions of thousands of monsters; using those had really spiced up my game, since the players have no Idea how combats are going to go any more.

    A lot of independent musical artists have hours of B-sides, covers, and livestreams you get access to whenever you donate.

    Dwarf Fortress and Pukebeard are my two patreons to point at.

    I have gotten more hours of enjoyment out of Dwarf Fortress than any other video game… and I think funding small creators helps spur innovation in content. Find some niche creator doing something you love, give them 10/video or whatever their medium is, help them go independent.

      Holy hell, DF somehow never dawned on me when I was deciding which patreons I should support a whileback. The amount of fun that game has provided is insane for something free.

      Context: I used to work onboard ships, 5 weeks at a time, with really shit internet. And once I’d exhausted all the media I’d downloaded while at home, DF was what kept me entertained for four years.

      Subscribing as soon as I’m back on my PC.

        The site is very reminiscent of early 2010s Cracked. Plus they have three associated podcasts that are fantastic and just so delightfully insane.

        Much of the rest of the Cracked greats are doing… great things! Soren Bowie writes for American Dad and Daniel O’Brien is a head writer on Last Week Tonight… and they have a podcast called Quick Question.

        Alex Schmidt and Katie Goldin do Secretly Incredibly Fascinating. Cody Johnston and Katy Stoll do Some More News. And then there’s king of the bastards, Robert Evans ;)

    Might just be a me thing, but this guy puts out a new wallpaper almost every week and they’re all amazing. The higher tiers allow you to participate in choosing the next wallpaper, but they’re mostly for 1080p, 1440p, and 2160p. Buying in once gets you the whole lot of everything he’s done until now.

    Bookpilled. If you’re into science fiction books, he’s a great YouTuber to check out.

    edit: Also, he does extra videos on his Patreon. But if you don’t like him try Outlaw Bookseller and Media Death Cult.

    I support a YouTuber, Joel Bocko, aka Lost in the Movies.

    His coverage of Twin Peaks is second to none IMO, and I’ve had literally days (possibly weeks, in fact) of enjoyment from his videos, podcasts and writing on that, and on cinema and TV generally.

    Well worth it if you love movies, particularly more art-house ones although that’s not all he covers either.

    He’s also a really nice guy, very engaged with comments, questions, etc.

      It’s such a unique view at parts of society that others would never look at or take the time to even acknowledge. Putting themselves often in extremely sketchy or even illegal situations for the sake of the story. Real gonzo journalism you just don’t normally see these days.

    Definitely Signals Music Studio. Really great guy and an excellent guitar teacher for harmony and song writing stuff.

    He puts out a lot for free so I feel more than justified to send some money his way - his teaching has been instrumental (heh) for my progress and understanding of music.

    Band: Manchester Orchestra

    They post something at least weekly. Live performances, acoustic versions of their songs, covers, demos, podcasts, etc.
