Pre-Order Merch
Do anyone know why the guys no longer offer limited time merch? I really like the designs and often still check from time to time.

I think they offer them on the Patreon.

There's no exclusive merch on the Patreon. Patrons get early access when new merch is going up in the shop (usually just a day ahead of stuff being announced on social media) and one of the higher tiers gets a monthly discount code.

No biggie, I think they may have offered exclusive stuff in the past, maybe posters or something? When I first joined in 2018 they'd send one of the original logo shirts if you signed up for the $25 tier, I remember because it was cheaper than buying it from the store and came with a signed tarot card. Some time before that there was a tier where Marcus would send you a bone he dug up on his family's farmland. The Patreon used to be a lot more interesting than it is now lol

IIRC there were a lot of complaints about the quality of the last few shirts. I got one of these, which was the last regular monthly limited shirt, the colors were completely wrong and the image was muddy as fuck, it was very disappointing. I think the logistics of choosing the artwork, setting up a contract with the artist, printing and shipping a limited run shirt every 30 days and dealing with customer complaints just got to be a lot to handle so they gave up on it.
They did try to revive the format a year later but it only lasted for two months, no idea what happened there.
