Hello everyone. We've reached Affiliate on the Commander RC Twitch channel, which means we've opened up the RC Patreon page and Discord server. Here are the links:

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/CommanderRC

Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/subs/commanderrc

Discord: https://discord.gg/x5Q5PVg

The RC is dedicated to serving the Commander community. To that end, after our expenses (for such things as standing up and maintaining the website and increasing our community outreach), we will return everything that we raise to the community in one fashion or another--often directly funding Commander content creators, to include cosplayers, authors, and video producers. We look forward to finding creative ways in helping the Commander community be the best that it can be. On behalf of the rest of the RC, thanks for your continued support.

Do you have any concrete examples of what or whom will be supported by these funds?

Sure. We've already given to a number of cosplayers. We sponsored Tappy Toe Claws and Christine Sprankle to Magic Fest Reno right before things shut down. We're patrons of Sector Six Support, who helps more Magic content creators than it seems one person has time to. There's also the cost to stand up and maintain the website, and the effort that goes into providing features like https://mtgcommander.net/index.php/new-voices/, in which we cultivate unpublished authors.

Is there a single/annual "membership" or only the monthly Patreon thing? Is there a method other than Patreon to donate?

Subscription to the Twitch channel, but I guess that's also only monthly, like the Patreon. If you'd like to simply donate directly, you can use PayPal to museoffirellc@gmail.com. I suppose we could also set up a VenMo account or something as well.

I try to limit how many/which sites have regular access/store to my financial data. I'm fine with things like Kickstarter where I can tell it not to store, and enter my info for each transaction. I'm less fine when a site wants to "recurring charge" (and therefore store and use) my data repeatedly (and I don't know how they secure their systems and my data). Too many hacks and stolen credentials. Just not very comfortable with subscription billing as a format (unless I can pay annually on individual transactions, rather than store data and "auto-pay").

Also, to be clear, the general Discord channel is free and open to anyone.

Sent via Paypal, with note. Have you considered adding to the FAQ a "How do I donate to support the RC/CAG's efforts?" type question with links?

Pinning this thread for a few days to help it get some added visability.
