For just $2 a month* you get a minimum of one tale every month (we’re committed to 20 a year there this year, and will start releasing two a month every month when we hit my first stretch target.) As a patron you are helping to keep independent creators like me keep going, in my case Patreon money helps me buy books to research these tales, like the main source in this tale Francois-Xavier Fauvelle’s ‘ The Golden Rhinoceros: Histories of the African Middle Ages Unsure if you want to join up?
