So. With about two and a half days left, the Kickstarter has hit $10 million.


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

Shard
For the uninitiated:


Shard
This is Travis. He's 1.93 meters/6'4" tall.

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

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.

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.

Shard
Selina and Harvey Dent from the TellTale Batman.

The Anarchist


Shard
...Oh. Oh, no.

Shard
Lin-Manuel Miranda on Twitter

Jaetopus
SCREE

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

Shard
Matt's reaction is the best part.

Jaetopus
how is he pretending to be so calm about it? XD

Shard
Because only Marisha can see him fanboy.

Shard
It is not impossible that this could hit $11mil before the end tonight.

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.

Le Comtesse
$11.4m

Le Comtesse
and the visit from Joel

Jaetopus
I loved them fanning over Joel when he showed up during announcements

Shard
Nearly 11.4 million in the end.

Shard
And I'm only sad because the screen shot I saw had the backers at 88,884.

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

Shard
<nods> Even so. That makes me so sad.

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

Shard
Being on UK time means I wasn't up for the first Critter push. It's probably better that way.

Shard
Besides, I might have liked the Trinket bear, but the dice are what I really wanted.

Shard
Well, that and the messenger bag, but that was at the $400 tier and that was way too rich for my blood.

Le Comtesse
....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

Shard
Le Comtesse
: 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.

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

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
