Patreon Kickstarter Update #1 (Patreon)

Hi folks,

We just wanted to write you a short message to discuss the Kickstarter and what running a Kickstarter campaign might mean to you, our valued Patrons.

We want to make sure we include decent value for Patrons while we are developing the campaign and so are exploring options that will allow us to upgrade Kickstarter pledges for existing Patrons. This would include Patrons gaining extra benefits from higher pledges at lower pledge levels.

We are also looking at adjusting our Patreon tiers to reflect the new content such as including Kickstarter rewards, benefits, and content.

Given all this there are a few things we’d like to clarify ahead of the Kickstarter campaign:

If, through stretch goals, we offer Kickstarter backers bonus content (e.g. bloopers or extra episodes), these will be made available to Patreon members, not just Kickstarter backers.

The money raised for the Kickstarter is intended to provide additional budget for The Magnus Archives 2. Patreon funds will continue to be split amongst all our Rusty Quill Original shows.

We know that some people will want to help the Kickstarter but won’t be able to donate. With that in mind, we are developing some social stretch goals based on sharing word of our Kickstarter with people. These stretch goals would reward everyone with extra content etc. if the project reaches certain social media milestones.

Our limited-edition merch will be available throughout the crowdfunding period, so there is plenty of time before the designs disappear and we will give everyone warning before they are removed from sale.

That’s all for now apart from a final reminder that our pre-launch livestream event on Sunday 30th October starts at 17:30 GMT. Clocks are changing in the UK, so make sure you double check the time in your location. If you follow us at www.twitch.tv/rusty_quill, you will get a notification as soon as we go live.

Thanks again for all of your support, we can’t wait to share more of what we’ve been working on soon!
