Q&A Time! 1pm PST on Saturday, Feb 28

Based on the poll results from last week and confirming with the Extra History team, we've scheduled the Q&A for this Saturday at 1pm PST! It was both the most-requested time and the time the fewest people had issues making. We tried to set up another event on Youtube, but like last time, ran into some technical problems. Rather than subject you all to that again, we made the call to go back to Spreecast this month. So here's the link! Link: 2015-02-24 04:59:39 +0000 UTC View Post

Reminder: Vote on Q&A Time!

Remember to vote on when you want the patron Q&A to be scheduled next week! The poll closes tomorrow. ALSO: By patron request, we've added a second question for "when do you NOT want the Q&A to be scheduled." We'll try to strike a balance between those answers and the most requested times! If you voted previously, you can still go back and answer this question. Link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/C8S6H27

Poll: Best Time for Q&A

It's time to set up the monthly patron Q&A, but this time, we'd like to hear from you about when to schedule it! Link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/C8S6H27 Now, usually we just schedule these things for whenever works best for Dan, James, and David, but this month by patron request (and because we thought it'd be good to try) we decided to put this poll out. As of right now, we've listed only the times when at l...

Art Preview! Meet John Blunt

The first South Sea Bubble episode will air on February 28, but it's never too early to start introducing some of the characters! Meet John Blunt, whose financial chicanery started the whole thing. Also, an update! We've narrowed the field in our search for a second artist, and we hope to be able to introduce you to someone soon. If all works out (and I hope I'm not jinxing myself with this), we will have our production schedule transitioned over to a weekly schedule after this series, as promis...

$10K Milestone Still On the Way

Hey folks, Last week, we crossed the milestone for $10,000 per month, but since then we've lost patrons and dipped back below the $10K mark. Don't worry! When we crossed the mark, we promised you weekly episodes and started the process of switching over and finding a second artist. We're going to keep that promise, so weekly episodes are still on their way!

Early Access! Chapter 6: The Campaign of Sekigahara

Hey, folks! I'm working off a spotty internet connection right now (should be fixed after this weekend!). Got an extra-early Early Access video for you... mostly. The video content is finished, but some of the bells and whistles (like description and links) are missing. Because of my internet connection, I wanted to make sure that you got your video early so I'm posting it now, while I can. The bells and whistles will go up tomorrow as my internet access allows me. Hope you enjoy the conclusio...

Thank YOU. No, Seriously. THANK YOU.

What a way to kick off the New Year! Yesterday, you all helped us cross that big, glowing $10,000 milestone to make Extra History a weekly show. We're all still amazed, but we're also very excited - and we hope you are, too! Making the switch is going to be a transition, not an immediate thing. We need to hire a second artist, and we need to figure out where in the world James is so we can summon him back and make him our writer full time. Both of those things are already in the works! As you ma...

Holiday Break!

The Extra Credits team is going on a holiday break! Extra History will be coming out this week as planned (December 20), but then we're taking a few weeks off to rest up with our families. Unfortunately, with everyone's holiday plans, we weren't able to find a time to get the team together for a Q&A. But we've got a present for you before we go! Dan's put in a lot of extra time to make an Extra Remix AND a Design Club episode for this week. So we've got five episodes coming at you this week,...
