Hi!
I'm Hazel, and this is a bit of a combined
announcements and update video.
We're going to announce the three Battle Pet
Giveaway winners for June, go over the Baking
Stream dates and what's going to be cooking,
plus a look at some updates to the Patreon
reward tiers.
With no further ado, let's get started with
the Patreon Battle Pet Giveaway winners!
The first pet goes to.....Spoken!
I looked through your pets and leveled up
a Grumpy for you.
On top of being a very good boy, he's the
best pet in the game to have with you when
you go collecting wild pets.
Howl and then Superbark will get pretty much
anything to 1 health for safe catching.
The second pet goes to....Sevrinne!
I bequeath to you a fully leveled Magical
Crawdad.
This thing is a big, tanky heal machine that's
almost impossible to kill.
If you find a pet battle you get stuck on,
the Magical Crawdad might be able to slow
and steady you to victory.
The third pet goes to.....Astaren!
You're getting an Anubisath Idol of your very
own.
This thing is universally good and should
be of great use to you as you go about your
pet battling business.
Before we move on a really quick note regarding
the giveaway: If you're on the $5 tier or
higher, and have not replied to my message
by sending me your armory and you would like
to be a part of the giveaways, please message
me on Patreon or by email with your character
name and server so I can check your pets and
mail them out should you win.
Next I want to highlight a new reward tier
that I introduced the month, Epic Warforged!
This is all the perks of Epic with two new
bonuses.
First, I name one of my battle pets after
you or your character, and I email you a little
screenshot of your namesake.
Second, you get access to an exclusive photo
of my cat and/or dog each month in the Patreon
feed.
The first perk's probably more exciting, but
in my defense I have a very cute cat.
Next, let's look at the Baking Stream Dates
for June and what's going to be cooking!
On Tuesday, June the 6th at 2PM Pacific time
I'll be going live making Chocolate Caramel
Cupcakes.
These aren't from the Warcraft book and are
more of an amalgamation of some different
things I've made over my years, but they should
be terribly bad for my health and quite delicious.
I'm excited to try my hand at cake decorating
on these streams, starting with this one.
On Monday, June 19th at 10AM Pacific we'll
be making Moser's Magnificent Muffins from
the WoW Cookbook!
Everyone's been telling me that those are
delicious so I'm quite looking forward to
it.
We actually slipped a little bit below the
doubled Baking streams goal right before the
pledges went through for the month, but I'm
going ahead with two streams anyway.
That's kinda on me for jumping the gun.
You'll be very excited to hear that I've gotten
myself a stool and an extension cord for my
mic for this time, so I'm hoping to make every
baking stream a little smoother and shinier
than the last.
Vods of both streams will be made availalbe
on my YouTube channel so don't worry at all
if you can't make it to the live stream.
To watch any of my live streams or find out
how long until the next one, go to youtube.com/hazelnuttygames/live.
Next, I want to talk about some changes that
I'm making to the Legendary Patreon supporter
tier, which is 25$+, going into effect in
July.
Change 1: Instead of a new art commission
every month, your first month only is a personal
commission.
On following months, there will be one new
piece of WoW themed art available to all Patrons
on that tier.
The drawing will be made available digitally
to download in 1080po Desktop wallpaper size.
Things you might see in this art include portraits
of battle pets, landscapes or scenes in WoW.
So on your first month you get two drawings
(a personal and the shared one), and from
then on you get one WoW themed drawing per
month.
The second change: In addition to accessing
the art digitally, all Legendary tier Patrons
can receive a post-card sized print of this
art mailed to them monthly at no additional
cost.
Each one will be signed with a little note
on the back.
I'll ship anywhere that mail is delivered,
and shipping time will vary depending on the
wrath of the post office gods.
The June art commissions will be unaffected,
so existing Legendary Patrons should still
send me their ideas for what they'd like drawn
this month.
These changes will go into effect starting
in July, and that's when the first round of
postcards will be mailed out.
If you're a Legendary Patron and you'd like
to receive the monthly postcard starting in
July , please send me your complete mailing
address as a Patreon message or by email.
If you decide you would no longer like to
be a Legendary tier Patron because of these
changes, you have until Friday, June 30th
to edit or remove your pledge.
On the flip side, if you're not a Legendary
tier yet but you want that monthly HazelNuttyMail,
sign up (while there are spots available)
before that date.
So, that is everything I wanted to cover for
announcements in June!
Thanks for watching and thank you so much
for your support.
Congratulations to the battle pet winners,
best of luck in July and have a wonderful,
wonderful day!
Bye!
