New Member Section
If you are a regular visitor, you may have noticed there is a Log In link in the top menu. Why?

I'm not going to close my Patreon account, but everything on Patreon will soon be in the member section here. I've setup weekly, monthly and yearly subscriptions, with the yearly subscription being roughly what you would typically pay thro
