$1/moWelcome Adventurer!Thank you
Wow, thank you so much for your support!
I'm thrilled you enjoy my content, and I truly hope you've found it helpful-- whether it was gaming advice or setting up your Roll20 Monster Manuals. I really appreciate the support.
At this tier you will get:
A special and fun thank you to you on all our social medias for your support.
You have our complete forgiveness and permission to use an adblocker. You guys are supporting me here, so block away!
The knowledge that you are a hero and adventurer that is helping support the channel, thank you.
$3/moFolk Hero!Digital Adventurers Kit and Map
Praise for your heroic deeds has been sung in all the local taverns!
This tier is for those who wish to adventure beyond the $1 tier. To help you on your journey we want to say thank you and make sure you are well equipped and so….
At this tier you will get:
A once off* Digital Adventurers kit, which includes all the things you need to kick off your rpg adventures: Maps, Tokens, ‘A Much Bigger Problem’ (an adventure module created by Green Feather Games), everything you need except rope…but who needs rope in a role playing game right? :)
A monthly map, for you to use in your game to create and explore new lands.
*Currently we are providing two maps each month, but we are not guaranteeing this in perpetuity and are only guaranteeing one map. But for the time being, there is a bonus map!
Adventurers at this tier will get full access to any and all digital assets posted here to the Patreon!
As well as the previous rewards tiers.
*The digital adventurers kit will be sent to you once your first month's pledge has been processed.

$5/moKnightKnights of the Hangout Table
We want to get to know you, Fine Knight!
This tier includes a Private Patron Hangout. Once a month, all patrons of this level (and higher) will meet up over the internet. This will be a time of tales, talks and well basically you, Cody and other patrons of this level and higher can talk about a wide variety of gaming topics for an hour.

$10/moChampionChampion of Choice - Credited
This tier is for those adventurers who wish to make a huge impact on the channel and the direction it takes. Help us decide what topics to focus on when it comes to video content topics, monthly map themes and more. There will be a monthly poll, of which only Patrons at this level and above, will be given the power to cast their votes and help decide the fate of the channel, well at least of the maps, video content and more.
At this level you will get:
Access to the voting poll around the channels topic/theme list for the month.*
Credited as a Champion of the channel on all Taking20 videos.**
As well as all the previous rewards tiers except for the Legendary Knight tier.

**This comes into effect after your first month’s pledge has been processed. Taking20 also reserves the right to refuse credited names which are offensive.
$25/moLegendary HeroOne on One Coaching
Ever want to work with me directly to get all of your Roll20 and Dungeon Master questions answered? This is your chance! Adventurers at this tier will meet with me, one on one, once a month for 30 minutes to talk about anything they'd like. Whether you want coaching on how to use Roll20, advice on a trap you've been working on, or you want to talk about how much your dog loves the park-- we'll talk about whatever you want.
At this tier you will get:
A one on one hangout/discussion session with Cody for 40 minutes.
As well as all the previous rewards tiers except for the Legendary Knight tier.
*Schedules will go out at the beginning of the month. Most times are late weeknights and early weekends CST.
$100/moEpic-Level Adventurer (D&D 5e)This game is currently RESERVED for:

Taylor
Chris
Play in a weekly game DM'd by Cody!!!
Get together with Cody and 4 other brave adventurers as you take part in an Epic campaign of Dungeons and Dragons.
This campaign will start the month after it fills and each session will last roughly 3 1/2 hours, 3 weeks on, one week off. Once the slots fill up, the group will speak with Cody to discuss and decide on what adventure will be chosen and to talk about characters and to discuss the best times to accommodate the entire group. Until the game fills up, patrons on this tier will be contacted with the option of either a partial or full refund, for their pledge.
Games will be played via Fantasy Grounds, which you will not be required to purchase and we will use Zoom for voice and video. Good microphone required, webcam preferred but not required.
If you are interested in instead arranging single game for a full group (4-6) of you and your friends, please reach out to us here and we will try and work with you.
This tier includes all previous tiers & rewards excluding the One on One coaching. If you want to both play in a game and still meet individually with Cody in One on One coaching, please message us, and we can arrange additional $25 payments per 30 minute coaching session.
