Updating Stretch Goal (Patreon)

Murph here! I'm writing to let you know that we're going to be changing the language of our current stretch goal from “Extra Campaign Episode” to “Extra Play Episode.” I know this news might be disappointing to some of you, but after discussing it internally we think this course of action will be best for Player and Patron alike. Here's my reasoning:

• Gives us the Chance to Experiment with Livestreams. We’re in too deep on our main campaign to change up the format, but having a monthly "extra play" session would allow us to try doing video episodes.
• More guests. As the BoB gets higher level, it’s going to become increasingly harder to have guests. The abilities get complicated/the stakes are too high. These one-shots (and/or livestream / second campaign) would allow us to have on our friends and other guests that don’t know D&D as well. Like Amir! 
• Makes the First Campaign Last Longer. The BoB can’t adventure forever! At our current weekly output rate, the surviving characters could be almost 15th level by this time next year. These one-off bonus plays would allow us to revisit the BoB in the future and enjoy some high-level demigod hijinks once their main story has ended. It would also give us an opportunity to tease a second campaign if we found a setting and characters that we really liked.
   

So that’s the long and short of it! We wanna have on more guests but also be able to keep the campaign focused on high-level D&D. Selfishly, I also like having more time to work on campaign episodes so I can obsess about details like giving Balnor an epic origin story. So, y'know, something for everyone. 

P.S. If you donated this month specifically to get us to 5 campaign episodes and you feel like you’re getting shortchanged, send us a message and we’ll give you a refund. 

Thanks for understanding!

 Best,

Murph
