Attention Institute Personnel!
A year ago today we launched our Patreon page and thanks to your overwhelming support, we’ve
been able to create so much more content in this first year than we ever thought possible.
Because of our Patrons, we’ve been able to debut three new series, Dossier, Atlas
and High Command, launch our first mini-series, Stellaris Invicta, and attend a few conventions
where we’ve met with Institute members in person and recruited a few local field agents.
We’ve already mentioned a few of our plans for this year, but we’d like to talk about
some new features we’re adding to Patreon and other ways to support us should you choose
to.
First, if you’re considering supporting us on Patreon, there’s no better time.
Depending on your pledge level, you will receive weekly custom wallpaper, a Templin Institute
emblem patch, Templin Institute parking passes, Security clearance cards and even a full sized,
3 foot by 6 foot Templin Institute flag.
To celebrate our one year Patreon anniversary, everyone who is pledged at the $10 tier and
above will receive an exclusive Greater Terran Union and Ryan’s Raiders embroidered patch.
These will be produced in a limited run and only available until the end of March.
Next, we’ve seen a huge amount of support for a community Stellaris multiplayer game
and we’re going to give it a try after Stellaris Invicta has ended.
Anyone pledged at the $25 tier or above will be able to reserve access with spots available
on a first come first serve basis.
This is the first large scale community game we’ve attempted, which will act as a pilot
project for future community games.
We expect it to be a little rough but if you want to become a beta tester, you’ll find
a post on Patreon outlining our ideas for the game.
If you’d rather just watch the chaos unfold, we’ll be streaming the game once it’s
up and running.
If you’d prefer to support us directly here on YouTube, we’ve now enabled memberships.
You’ll find a Join button below this video that gets you access to a few new rewards.
For $5 a month, you’ll get access to an exclusive channel on our Discord server so
you can yell at Marc or me directly, some discounts for merchandise on the Templin Commissary,
and custom loyalty badges and emotes you can show off during episode premieres or the occasional
live stream here on YouTube which we’ll be doing in addition to our regular Twitch
schedule.
And like our Twitch streams, these will be published on our second channel, The Templin
Archives, to watch if you missed them live.
Finally, we’re going to be trying out Q&A videos.
We’ll be releasing these every one or two months, answering whatever burning questions
you may have on flag design, how citizenship tiers work in the Greater Terran Union, or
whatever else you’ve always wanted to know or get our thoughts on.
If you’re a member on YouTube or have pledged $5 or above on Patreon, your questions will
be given priority.
Rather than releasing the videos on our main channel, they’ll also be available for everyone
on the Templin Archives.
If you haven’t already subscribed, you’ll find a link in the video description.
Once again, we’d like to thank everyone who's supported the Templin Institute, whether
by pledging on Patreon, throwing bits and subscriptions our way on Twitch, signing up
for YouTube memberships, or just by watching our videos.
We can’t wait for you to see some of the content we have planned.
The Templin Institute investigates alternate worlds and realities.
If you’ve enjoyed this video and would like to directly support us, vote in polls to determine
future topics, and receive some cool rewards, please consider pledging to our Patreon Page.
