[Beth and Angel] 6.5 HOURS LEFT! - WE HIT OUR ULTIMATE GOAL, two giveaways

Okay, so the format is out the window again lol, we just have a few things to share before our campaign ends in 6.5 hours.

TWO Giveaways - Join Our Patreon!

Because we reached the next total patron count goal, we've now got TWO giveaways! And you can enter BOTH by becoming a patron (free or paid):

1. One winner will get all of our zines from before February
2. One winner will get all of our Zineuary zines

These are both PHYSICAL COLLECTIONS! Angel printed and folded them all up, and we will mail them WORLDWIDE. This is a giveaway, so you don't even pay shipping :D

Again, all you have to do is be a patron of our Patreon. You can be a free or paid member, it doesn't matter at all. 

Pssst: if you join as a $5 member you'll get TWENTY THREE games and zines when you join (four of which are duplicates if you're also a tier 2 or tier 3 contributor), plus all of the games we release to Itch while you're a member, AND you'll be helping us reach stretch goals that would get all of our paid members even more stuff! 

Free or paid, we'd love to have you in our Patreon. We share a lot there, from game releases to personal stuff to behind-the-scenes info. And all of that is free to everyone! 🧡💜 

$2,500 Hit!

Speaking of hitting goals, we reached $2,500 yesterday! That means all of our Tier 3 contributors will vote for a CHALLENGE for us to make a full game! And all of our Tier 3 contributors will get the game, too, of course :D Like our other challenges, unless we're especially inspired we'll likely codesign one game, not each make one. 

If you got Tier 2 or Tier 1, contribute another $3 or $5 respectively and I'll upgrade you in our system. Being Tier 3 gets you a total of 53 games and zines (we got a new challenger today!) whereas Tier 2 gets you a total of 39. Tier 1 gets our co-op zine :D And due to stretch goals, Tier 1 gives TWO community copies for the co-op zine, Tier 2 gives TWO community copies for all of the Zineuary zines, and Tier 3 gives TWO community copies for all of the Zineuary and EXTRA MODE zines!

WE HIT $3,000 TOO!?!?!?!?!? 😮

LOL we were gonna end this campaign on the 29th, and we hit $2,000 then. But I extended it when I realized it'd be better to finish over a weekend, and just... WOW! I haven't updated the campaign pages but now Zineuary is extended another 8 days (until March 24th), which means another 4 zines for all Tier 2 and Tier 3 contributors!

I thought it would be cool to hit $2,500. I figured $500 in 3 days was impossible but would be amazing so we could get challenged to make a game. But then y'all have been so amazingly supportive and just..... wow! 🧡💜

OVERDRIVE MODE: ACTIVATE

Angel was making dinner when we approached $3,000, and we were eating it when it happened. So we quickly discussed what to do and uhhhhhhh... Here, this'll do! Maybe we'll make a form for people to suggest rewards and we'll pick one per $250 hit. If we hit any at all lol.

But the gist of it is that for every $250 hit over $3,000, we'll pick another reward. So $3,250 is one reward, $3,500 is another reward, etc.

Again, I would be STUNNED if we even hit one, but we have to do  something lol

Keys for Zines Sent

I sent out keys for the four zines we're giving away early to Tier 2 and Tier 3 contributors. If you didn't get them somehow, please let me know by emailing me at CataclysmicKnight@gmail.com. You might just be able to reply to this email, too.

Also I'm sorry it took so long. I'd said 24 hours and it was more like 48... Yesterday was a freaking day lol and then today when I was finally sending keys out, Itch was down and I ran out, so several of you waited even longer than others ☹️ 

What's Next?

In the next few days, we'll send our plans for the next steps of fulfillment and stuff. I figure I'll go through each of the rewards and plan when each should be delivered. I probably should've done that before the campaign began but we rushed to throw it together...

Also, I'm not sure where on the email it is, but there's an "unsubscribe" button. I plan to continue updating with progress throughout the campaign, and then after that to share big news here as well. If you aren't interested in our campaign, PLEASE feel free to hit that button. I'd hate to send you things you don't care about :D

💡 Crowdfunding Spotlight: Several Campaigns That Haven't Hit Goal!

So this is a special shoutout to all of the campaigns that are part of Tabletop Nonstop that are still funding but haven't hit their goals yet. They're listed by when they finish crowdfunding, starting with the soonest to finish.

Some of these are like ours and will get the money whether they hit their goal or not. But one is ALL OR NOTHING which means if they don't hit their goal, they get nothing and their project won't fund.

Honestly, I was gonna describe each of these but it's getting super late so I'll just link:

• The Traveler's Guide to Flora and Fauna, Vol 1
• ALL OR NOTHING --> No-Tell Motel: A Single Player Murder Mystery RPG
• Desert Birds - A Post Apocalyptic, Cosmic Horror, Crafting TTRPG - For Children!
• Adventure Zines for a Backwards, Post-apocalyptic America

Your Turn: How Do You Celebrate?

Whether you got through a tough day or won the Nobel prize, what do YOU do to celebrate?

Angel: I set aside a bit of time to do something I haven't made time for, like playing a video or board game I've wanted to play for awhile. And every celebration deserves a cake.

Beth: I usually cheat on my diet lol - eat some sweets, eat some crunchy salty stuff, and drink some wine. I also sometimes just create whatever I want, even if it's something I doubt I'll ever finish or something no one will care about. Or I play video games. OMG I haven't played a video game in months, maybe I'll get Alan Wake 2 and play it...
