So, uh, we raised £25,000 in about three days and now Kieron is definitely writing two chapters. This is for the best because I'm not sure I could have stopped him if we hadn't hit this goal.
Look, we've got about 5 hours to go, and normally I'd stop here. But Megadungeon Month is weird: it's got a shared overtime mode. That means that, until we go 10 full minutes without someone backing any of the Megadungeon Month projects, the show ain't over.
So I'm going to announce one last stretch goal I would really, really like to hit.
£200,000: MORE MONEY FOR THE TEAM. At this point the Metadungeon is a major success, and I want our freelancers to share in that with more than just the satisfaction of knowing thousands of people are going to appreciate their work. If we (somehow) hit £200,000 I'll turn some of that money into a chunk of bonus pay for Gareth and our artists Rick, Sar, and Saga. Kieron and Stephanie get royalties, so I'm less worried about giving them a financial reward.
If you're reading this, you've done your part. All I need from you is to cross your fingers and hope this works out.
A couple of people asked what stretch goals were left, and this is the last one I thought we might get to. The absolutely final one would have been a DIE Actual Play, at £225,000. I think that's well and truly off the table now, but every time I've thought we were done, I've woken up to an extremely pleasant surprise.
So cross those claws, folks, and thanks for everything <3
