Marrow’s Medal

Every year, the Monster Rangers honor a special member who’s been a big part of our success for that year. It’s namesake – Marrow Thatch – was a generous, kind, and classy Halloween Golem; this medal shows his happy face.

Rule: If you win X Medal in one year, you’re ineligible for that award for just the next year. Then, you’re up for consideration once again. 

Patron of the Year

Simply put, this is the Ranger who has financially supported us the best, for that year. Sure, it could be seen as a little crass, but on the other hand, here at HQ we really appreciate being kept alive by our patron’s purchases.

Crony of the Year

This one is very important, as our Crony network helps us out constantly to get stuff done at the HQ Studio. Folding shirts, making buttons, bagging badges and patches are regular Crony jobs around here. We eat food, watch movies, and work work work! Know that the Crony of the Year probably has done their service more than once a month for the entire year.

Monster Ranger of the Year

Ranger of the Year is for the person who most exemplifies our core values: kindness, generosity, and Ranger activism. Sometimes we hear about what some of these Rangers do behind the scenes, and sometimes we witness it first-hand. In any case, this is a big honor.
