Well for Patreon:

key to make it great is sensible description of what you do and why you need people's support for it. The funding goals are important, if you dont make those clear, people easily see it as begging. Goals should have something to do with your project, maybe at income level x, you upgrade an equipment of yours?

Without those goals, I havent seen great success in Patreon. Only those with already huge following like youtubers, get away with a lack of goals.

And oh yes, the map. Can't say anything. Imagine I am Gollum, and your map parchment was just stolen.
