A collectible made for each year and never sold. Yearly Patrons get it from day one; monthly Patrons earn it after 3 months.

1 extra entry in every draw, so 2 instead of 1.

The Guilds
One is included with Patron. Grand Patrons belong to all three, and the perks add up. Guild channels on our Discord stay open to everyone.
The Arcanum (Card Games)
A take-home pack every month, any game, with £6 of shelf price included
1-hour early booking on Magic and shop-run card events
Early notice of every other card event: the booking link in #patron-chat 24 hours before we announce it
10% extra trade-in value as store credit, up to £10 bonus a month
£5 off selected card events where the shop sets the price
Packs come from normal stock; for a dearer pack you pay the difference. Limited and allocated products aren't included. The £5 off depends on the event and isn't available on every card game.

Free low tables, and high tables at half price
D&D, Daggerheart and other tabletop RPG sessions at half price: £3.50 instead of £7

Early booking
When a paid event goes live on our website:
First hour: members of the event's Guild, and Grand Patrons. For D&D that's The Tavern.
Second hour: every Patron.
After that: everyone.
Up to half the seats can go in the early windows, so there are always places left for everyone else. In the early windows you can book your own seat plus 1 guest. If you'd like to bring more, contact us.
Most card games are booked on the publisher's own site, which we can't hold back. For those, members of The Arcanum get the booking link in #patron-chat 24 hours before we announce it. It's a head start rather than a guaranteed seat.
We ping #patron-chat whenever booking opens, so you don't miss your window.
Already a Premium member? You're a Founding Patron
Founding Patron status for good: its own Discord role and a Founders mark
A one-off Founders collectible that will never be made again
If you pay yearly, your next renewal stays at £90, then £100 a year after that
Your first year as a Grand Patron is £140 instead of £150, then £150 a year after that
What changes for you
Unlimited free tables carry on in The Tavern (low tables) or The Forge (high tables), and every table is free as a Grand Patron
£5 off selected card events carries on in The Arcanum, or as a Grand Patron
D&D goes from free to £3.50 in The Tavern or as a Grand Patron, and £7 otherwise
Weekly events stay free
If you're a Patron with one Guild, choose your Guild by Sunday 15 November. If you don't choose, you join The Arcanum, which doesn't include free tables or half-price D&D, so pick The Tavern (free low tables, half-price D&D) or The Forge (free high tables) if those matter to you. Grand Patrons already belong to all three Guilds, so there's nothing to choose
Good to know
Changing Guilds
New Patrons can change their first pick once in the first 14 days, as long as they haven't used any allowance
After that, a switch takes effect at your next monthly refresh and shows as pending until then
Upgrading to Grand Patron starts straight away: a one-off payment for the rest of this period, then the new price
Going back to one Guild takes effect from your next billing date
Monthly allowances
They refresh on your billing date each month
Use them or lose them: nothing rolls over or swaps between Guilds
Packs come from normal stock; limited and allocated products aren't included
The trade-in bonus is paid as store credit, up to £10 a month
Prize draws
Everyone gets 1 free entry, and you never need to buy anything to enter; Patrons get 1 extra
Staff hand out good behaviour tokens; bank up to 3, and they don't expire
Never more than 3 entries per person in a draw; tokens that don't fit stay banked
