Christmas Shard
So. With about two and a half days left, the Kickstarter has hit $10 million.
Christmas Shard
Which means that Travis Willingham is going to get filmed going through a haunted house.
Jaetopus
I'm so excited, you have no idea
Jaetopus
like, yay, I get rewards for my backer level, and yay, all the promised one shots are cool, but OMG YOU GUYS TRAVIS IN A HAUNTED HOUSE
Jaetopus
someone commented on the kickstarter (hopefully joking) that they were worried Travis would think the fans hated him after this, and I'm like pffffffffff Travis has at least one brother, he understands this kind of love
Christmas Shard
For the uninitiated:
Christmas Shard
This is Travis. He's 1.93 meters/6'4" tall.
Christmas Shard
He cannot do horror. Much to his wife's amusement.
Jaetopus
Critical Role - "Madame Musk" SPOILERS C2 EP 53
Travis freaking out over meeting a tiny, possibly haunted shopkeep
Christmas Shard
So, you know. Fair play on him for being willing to do this.
Sharkleberry
Oh, hey. It's Thor and Black Widow at the premiere.
Christmas Shard
Yes.
Sharkleberry
Also, Jaina Proudmore and the person who voices a character I want to smack.
Jaetopus
or Roy Mustang and Lust if you're more into the anime set
Sharkleberry
Smack Turalyon so hard the Chronakai Kristor falls out of his mouth.
Christmas Shard
Selina and Harvey Dent from the TellTale Batman.
The Anarchist
Christmas Shard
...Oh. Oh, no.
Christmas Shard
Lin-Manuel Miranda on Twitter
Jaetopus
SCREE
Christmas Shard
That does seem to be the main reaction, yes.
Jaetopus
I'm just over here like. be cool. be cool, you're still at work, so hold it together
Christmas Shard
Matt's reaction is the best part.
Jaetopus
how is he pretending to be so calm about it? XD
Christmas Shard
Because only Marisha can see him fanboy.
Christmas Shard
It is not impossible that this could hit $11mil before the end tonight.
Christmas Shard
It's over $10.8 with 6 hours to go.
Jaetopus
I wasn't able to stay up until 2am cause I'm old and can't function like that, so I eagerly await Saturday to watch the afterparty. so much currency.
ReJenerator
$11.4m
ReJenerator
and the visit from Joel
Jaetopus
I loved them fanning over Joel when he showed up during announcements
Christmas Shard
Nearly 11.4 million in the end.
Christmas Shard
And I'm only sad because the screen shot I saw had the backers at 88,884.
Christmas Shard
A part of me wishes they could have left it open just long enough for another 4 backers.
Jaetopus
the official email says 88,886 so two more squeaked in
Jaetopus
but yeah, it just missed
Christmas Shard
<nods> Even so. That makes me so sad.
Christmas Shard
Also, it's probably a good thing that I didn't process entirely about the ending of the Kickstarter. I might have been more tempted to up my support.
Jaetopus
I upped during the first Critterpush, no more funds to go higher XD
Christmas Shard
Being on UK time means I wasn't up for the first Critter push. It's probably better that way.
Christmas Shard
Besides, I might have liked the Trinket bear, but the dice are what I really wanted.
Christmas Shard
Well, that and the messenger bag, but that was at the $400 tier and that was way too rich for my blood.
ReJenerator
....I didn't have the money to do anything, so I'm not sure if/when I'll ever see it.
Jaetopus
I am very excited about the dice. the tiers were pretty pricey for what they gave but still. I worked it out, and even at what they've ALREADY produced, it's less than a dollar per hour of entertainment they've given me just for the main game, not counting Talks or Everything is Content or any other show
Jaetopus
just about any tier except the super high ones is a quality value if you think like that
Christmas Shard
ReJenerator
: It will be released for everybody. Backers will probably get first look, but they have no intention of only making it for the people who backed.
Christmas Shard
I mean, the super high ones had pretty good reasons to be that high.
Jaetopus
well, yes, the super high ones had an experience which is probably technically hard to put a value on
Christmas Shard
I mean, if I'd won the lottery in those first few days, I would definitely have gone for one of them.
Jaetopus
saaaaaaaaaaaame
