How Do I Earn A medal?
Patrons at our $5 or $15 level earn a new medal for every six months they support LWTV. This six month period need not be consecutive, so even if you drop off for a month or two and eventually return to Patreon, we keep track of your support. In addition to "time served" on Patreon, we also offer limited edition medals throughout the year that may relate to campaigns we're running or convention events.
How Do you Send the Medals?To make shipping more efficient, we deliver medals three times a year, roughly corresponding to the show schedule of HMGS East game conventions. This allows us to potentially meet our supporters at the shows and award their medals in person! But for those who do not attend the conventions or would simply rather receive medals in the mail, we ship anywhere in the world.
How Will I Know If I Qualify?We'll contact you directly! If you qualify for a medal during one of our three annual fulfillment cycles, we will message you directly through the Patreon platform with details. Some of our patrons don't care that much about the medals and don't want us to send them one--that's totally up to you! We do pay to 3D print, paint, assemble, and ship every medal by hand here in the club, so if you'd rather that your support go toward other channel operations, it's perfect ok to decline your medals. But we'll always let you know when you qualify for one anyway!

What are the Current Medals?
Marshal of the Empire (Limited Edition, 26 awarded)
Napoleon elevated 26 marshals of France and our first 26 top-tier patrons hold this honor. It is modeled after a representation of the French Legion of Honor, which was created by Napoleon in 1802 as the highest order of merit in the empire.
Old Guard (Limited Edition, 50 awarded)
Our first 50 patrons form the loyal cadre of our Old Guard. The medal shares the same design as our Marshal of the Empire, but appears in aged silver. The letters "VG" in the center are shorthand for "Vieille Garde."
Caesar (Awarded for winning a Caesar Award)
