About Great House Morningwood
Patreon is a crowdfunding program through which our readers can help us stay in business — think Kickstarter or GoFundMe, but as a small ongoing monthly pledge to help keep someone like us in business. We based our Patreon program after a Game of Thrones style great house, with our own sigil and words and our own knights and smallfolk and irreverent smartassery.
You can learn more about our program, and what you get out of it, below.
Why bend the knee join? Simple — because we’re fucking awesome and we’ll make it worth your while.
⇒ Access to the Breach-Bang-Clear closed discussion group 💋
⇒ Permission to wander the aisles of the Morningwood Bazaar (up to 60% off various manufacturers) ⚔💰
⇒ You can be a (self-proclaimed) knight or even lord! 👊🚩 🏰
⇒ Loot when we have it to pass out 🎁
That’s right. Our supporters, from our miserable smallfolk all the way to our mighty lords and ladies, have permission to visit that most famous (and seedy) of bars, Nancy’s Squat & Gobble. They can also walk the bustling grounds of the Morningwood Bazaar cyber marketplace, a virtual open-air souk wherein one can buy the most splendid of tactical stuff and things for but a pittance of the normal price.
Grunts: pittance.
Note: The coupons and purchase codes offered in the “Morningwood Bazaar” range from 10% all the way up to 60%, so if you buy one piece of decent piece of gear in a year it has paid for itself. Plus, you’ll help us keep the lights on and buy beer.
Now, on to the good shit.
