Welcome back to Tales from the Crit! We are now entering season 3 where after
receiving a timely cease and desist right after the conclusion of season 2
we can no longer call you critters so we're gonna settle on calling you
friends. We wanted to take a few minutes before launching into the new season and
the beginning of our adventures in the root first to tell you some exciting
things that we're working on here in the podcast. The biggest is likely the launch
of our patreon which we couldn't be more excited about. We will have two levels that
you can subscribe to. The first is gonna give you a full-length bonus episode
every month where we're gonna be playing stories separate from our regular season
story arcs. You'll also get every regular season episode ad free and you'll
possibly get those regular episodes early but we aren't promising that one
because sometimes we run on a pretty tight schedule so consider it a bonus.
We'll also be doing some character brunch episodes that you'll be able to get.
Those are gonna be super special and we're not gonna tell you too much about
those now but we're gonna be doing two character brunch episodes throughout the
special season on patreon. You'll also receive a Wolfbeard Games audio
sticker pack with five awesome stickers that are related to the podcast or Wolf
Beard Games and you'll get all that for $4.99 a month. Our second tier you're
gonna get everything in that first tier plus a second bonus episode per month.
Those episodes are going to be single or two-player games so they'll be a little
bit more personal and low-key. You're also gonna get a cool quarterly gift
from Tales from the Crit or Wolfbeard Games and that first gift of the year is
going to be an awesome Tales from the Crit D6 so it is a white D6 with the
Tales from the Crit logo making up the one spot and that second tier is going
to be $7.99 a month. In our first story arc in tier one we're gonna be
revisiting Betty Bob Cocker and We Deal in the Lead and in our second tier we
will be checking out the game Hildegard which is a narrative card driven game
about a protagonist who is making her way through the world. That one is gonna
be hosted and played by me. The Patreon launches April 1st and can be found at
patreon.com backslash wolfbeard podcasts that's patreon.com backslash wolfbeard
podcasts. Okay on to our next topic. I've talked a lot about Wolfbeard Games but
we haven't talked much about that ever or what that is. So Wolfbeard Games is a
tabletop game company that Tim, who you know from this podcast and others, and I
run. We have two games available right now Sheep Sleep Seep which is a fast-paced
tongue-twisting party game and Right to Farm which is a beautifully illustrated
game about growing a gorgeous flower garden while absolutely mutilating your
friends gardens. We just released a new shirt through our friends over at
bonfire.com. It's our Wolfbeard Games shirt. The purpose behind the shirt is to
help you reach your fitness goals and we really just wanted to promote an overall
healthier year. I know this is something that a lot of people struggle with. Those
shirts are available as tank tops, hoodies, even a really cool tie-dye crop top
hoodie. All the profits from our sales through the month of June are going to
go to a charity called Laughing at My Nightmare. That's a charity run by Shane
Burkaw that provides vital equipment to people living with disabilities and
provides pathways to higher education for them. It's one that I'm super
passionate about. I really love the cause. It's something I've donated too many
times in my personal life. It's just a really great mission that Shane's on. If
you're interested in learning more about that cause, head over to laughingatmynightmare.com.
Shane has also written a couple awesome books so go check those out as
well. He's hilariously funny while bringing really deep issues to light
that a lot of us don't think about on a day-to-day basis. We're also working on
some other game projects that we're hoping to release throughout the year. We
also drop other shirts and hoodies throughout the year also and you can
stay all up to date on that stuff by following our Instagram at Wolfbeard
Games or heading over to wolfbeardgames.com. So we're looking to have a real
big year over there too, not just on the podcast. We also want to give a shout out
to our sister podcast, Paramnesia Theater, hosted by Rebecca, Anna, Tim, and myself
where we watch movies from our childhoods and see if those movies still
hold up today or if they just plain suck. If you were a kid in the 80s to 2000s
you're gonna love this podcast so go check it out. That's Paramnesia Theater,
you can find them on any major podcasting platform. They also
have an Instagram at the same name. That one's a lot of fun if you haven't
checked it out yet please do so. Okay the last thing we want to say is we really
want to grow the channel this year and for that we really really really need
your help. Getting to a thousand downloads a month would be huge for us
so we're asking you to tell everybody that loves gaming, D&D, podcasts, Dice,
nerdy shit, everybody that you know just literally anybody about our podcast. If
we can reach that thousand downloads a month we're gonna do something really
really awesome for everybody so please help us spread the word, leave us a
review wherever you listen, and go follow our Instagram at talesfromthecritpodcast.
We're gonna be much more engaging this season not just
posting episode announcements so we're gonna try to let you guys know more
about us as players, get to know us a little bit more, and be a little bit more
engaging. We're also hoping to do a few things live and in person so that we can
meet some of our fans and we're just looking to have a really great season
that we're really excited about. Not that the other two weren't fantastic but
we're really looking to make season 3 even better. So we've got a lot of great
plans for this season that we could really use your help, we could use some
love, if you just spread the word through the community you know the nerd community
so to speak is just so great and inviting. We'd love to share a space in it
so if you could please tell some people about the podcast we'd love to hear from
it and if you want to you know reach out on Instagram and let us know that you
like any specific episodes you want to see more you know feel free to hit us up
we're always checking that and we'd love to grow with everybody and keep this
going for a long long time so if you can help us hit that milestone we'd be
eternally grateful and would even smack a beholder if we were able to hit that
goal so please please help us help you listen to us more and let's have a great
season so go listen to episode 1 of season 3 and check out our root verse
see you next next Tuesday
