November on Club PA + A Sketch (Patreon)

We don't have a poll for you this time, but hopefully there are other ways that you can express that urge to vote. The above sketch is from Mike's suitably terrifying vision of The Thing That Speaks For Youtube (full comic here: https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2018/09/19/the-craw-eternal )

We have a pretty good month in terms of Club PA shenanigans. Notably, we'll be seeing some of you at PAX Unplugged for a Club PA meetup! We also have a few new episodes of This Old Lair coming up, so please keep your questions rolling in for that. 

On the stream front, we're continuing our attempts to appall you by recklessly ignoring our promise to only bring you one stream per quarter. On the 21st of the month we have Enter The Feh-Wild, the inaugural on stream presence of Dungeon Master Mike Fehlauer. We're hoping to also bring you something else, but I'd rather under-promise, just in case Thanksgiving scheduling doesn't work out. 

Members of Merch tier who signed up in May will be receiving a new package this month! We try and keep these as something of a surprise, but it's a good 'un. Six Monthers on both tiers will also be receiving their 2018 pin! If you signed up in June on either tier, that Pin will be coming in December.

One notable fact of The Merch this month: due to the season (Black Friday etc...) we're anticipating that the shipments will go out later in the month than usual. Don't panic if it doesn't arrive quite on the schedule you've become accustomed to; all the orders will still be created and your package will definitely get to you :)

Some of the bad news: you've probably noticed that the DLC podcast has been MIA for a while. The long and short of it is that it's become increasingly difficult to record these, so we're going to be officially putting it on hiatus. We're currently deep in discussions about creating a podcast to replace it (which will be exclusive to Club PA) with the aim of making it something that we're more able to create on a consistent timetable. If you have any podcast thoughts, let us know in the comments (or shoot me an email). We're always sorry when we have to take something out of the offering, but figured it's more fair to you if we're honest about what we can realistically deliver. 

We are, in a more general sense, talking about what Club PA 2.1 looks like. This will mean changes and improvements coming sooner, rather than later. Your feedback on how things are doing right now is really crucial in letting us know how to go forward. Shoot an email to pgroome@penny-arcade.com with any thoughts you have about this or any other Club PA related shenanigans.

I think that's it! There might be something else, but if there is... uh... it's a deliberate surprise!
