Hi folks,
Thank you so much for the incredible week we had last week. Our Kickstarter campaign has now raised over half a million pounds, a milestone that whilst we were hopeful, we didn’t even dare to dream about this time last week. I don’t think we can overstate how grateful we are. Within one minute of launching, the Kickstarter was fully funded. Just like that, and for the most positive reason, every pre-written post, every soc...

Hi folks,
As promised, here’s a second Patreon Kickstarter Update.
We know that the newsletter yesterday was pretty chunky, so we thought it’d be worth taking the time to go over some information on our Kickstarter separately from the regular newsletter.
As we confirmed both on Patreon and publicly yesterday, our Kickstarter launches at 4pm GMT today, with an accompanying livestream featuring Alex, Jonny and a whole host of special guests. We know that n...
