Update: Sales Tax

Hi everyone,

We wanted to give you an update on some changes that we’ll be seeing which may affect some of your pledges. Due to new laws passing in several countries and US states, Patreon will be required to start charging sales tax on some pledges starting July 1st.

Less than half of all patrons will be charged sales tax, and for most, the amount will be very small. For example, sales tax rates in the US range from 4% to 11%, so on a $5 pledge, that would be between 20 cents a...

An Evolving Studio: The Beginning

We all start somewhere and for us we couldn't have done this without the support of The Garage: Games & Geekery in Maple Ridge, BC, Canada.  http://garagegames.ca/

A studio space was essential to be able to produce at the level we envisioned.  We required a space big enough for multiple cameras and operators as well as ample lighting.  Before episode 2 we tried to shoot with a makeshift "fortress" in t...

Never seen until now. Pilot teaser for Play On Battle Reports.

To continue celebrating this one year milestone with you, patrons, here is an exclusive look at our very first teaser concept that was the catalyst for our battle reports formula.  

The plan at the very beginning was to have produced 2 to 3 battle reports before we hit YouTube.  We needed to know what we were capable of and how long each show would take to produce.  If everything went according to plan we would have an entertaining show that had a reasonable release sched...

Updated Graphics for 40k in 40m

Hello Patrons!  Through the challenges of today we are steadily completing two new episodes of 40k in 40m, which were part of kicking off Season 2.  Both these episodes were shot in late February / early March before our nation took measures due to COVID-19.  It took a lot longer to edit both due to two factors, one of which we will cover in this post.

The Impact of The New Reality for Play On

First off, we have NEW content coming soon!  We were fortunate enough to start production of some of our shows prior to the need for social distancing and working from home.  During the initial weeks of social distancing in our home province we had to focus on adjustments and over the last two weeks have been able to ramp things back up for making content.

We feel in making content we are still connected with all of you and the worldwide gaming community. View Post

40k in 40m Season 2 Production Has Begun

The distress call has been answered.  The Ultramarines have arrived on a planet ravaged by a Cult of the Rusted Claw uprising.  However, the situation is worse than the Adeptus Astartes forces thought as no sooner than the battle begins does a hive fleet vanguard crash into the system ready to devour all.  Now the Ultramarines have to deal with the might of the forces of the hive mind, humanoid and creature.  

We were so excited to be back in studio on March 1st to b...
