This is a post I should have written again sooner, a guide to where you can find all the stuff I've been creating, the stuff you have invested in me making. So here comes an overview that I hope will be useful specially for everyone who hasn't collected my content for a long time, or are new to Greyhawk.
I'm using my Patreon as my blog, newsletter, and main way to try and virtually beg for some financial support to keep my computers running and myself fed and happy. Thank you all for making that happen!
Here I'm posting what I'm doing and creating, and some of these post are for supporting patreons only, at first. I'm making sire that all content will be available for all after a little while. My patreon posts are still being mirrored to my website after a day or so (with patreon privileges still intact).
Patreon doesn't have file sharing capabilities good enough for my needs, so most of the files are hosted on my website or Dropbox and links are posted here. I try to use my website for that since those links are more under my control than Dropbox.
Patreon has a search function, so if you click on posts in the top bar you can use the search or filter functions on my posts. Search is a search for any work among all my 500+ posts, but the filter function might be more useful. Under filters you can search using tags, and I have tagged posts to the best of my ability for years, so that might b a good help to find things you are interested in.
Please report any broken links and I will try and fix them as soon as possible.
My website https://www.annabmeyer.com is in dire need of a renovation, and it was something I planned to do this summer/fall, but thanks to commissions colliding it is now postponed for a while longer.
Now it is a blog mirrors, and a host of a lot of my content. The problem is that it is not easy to find. There is a top menu with links to some of my 576 CY and 598 CY maps, heraldry and Orth maps.
When you download things, remember to use a download manager on the larger files. They are too big to open in a browser, and the download process will often reset, download managers handle that much better.
My plans for the website is to make it a landing page and hub for my digital presence with links to places. Later on a second and even third website will be added, one as a content hub for geopackages and another as a geoserver, more on that later. I have already acquired the domain names for those!
Notion turned out to be a surprisingly good way to present and distribute content. My plan was to use Notion as my content hub while re-doing my website, and maybe even after that so I have uploaded almost everything to it. You can find it here: https://annabmeyer.notion.site/
There is a search function at the top, and to the top-right is a link to the "Greyhawk Content Database" which is where all the stuff is. The database page has a filter function that lets you sort search and filter things to find the stuff you want. Filter for things like type of content (maps, heraldry for example), format (jpg, pdf, png for example), year of publication, tag (Keoland, Iuz for example), collection (Terrain Only, 1:2 million, for example).
I have a Discord server for my patreon members, so if you are a on my paid tier and connect your patreon account with discord you will be added to it. This is mainly used as an easy way to reach out to me and chat, and to tell me what I need to fix on my maps!
I know I'm lagging behind in this field, and my content is spread out, and not the easiest to find and download. A big part is may fault, I should have invested more time and money to improve it. Another reason is that a lot of my stuff is big, too big for a lot of the usual ways to share and spread content on the web. Large files are costly to host and spread, and I don't want to use torrents and more shady ways to do it.
I'm spending over $600 per year on webhosting already and this will have to be more in the future to improve things. Commission money coming in will make that financially possible, and taking less commissions in the future will give me the time to do it.
Thank you again for all your support!
