Speculate Marathon Thanks
b'Hi folks, Mike here. We\\u2019ll have more\\xa0Girl by Moonlight: Fractal Spire\\xa0for you next week, but I wanted to check in here with a brief message of thanks on behalf of the whole Speculate team to everyone that supported the fundraiser marathon this last weekend. Whether you donated, pledged to patreon, hung out with us and chatted, helped run the giveaways, or anything else, you showed the strength and passion of the Speculate community!\\n\\nThanks to the community\\u2019s amazing efforts, we raised a total of $1,001 between direct donations and pledges to our patreon. We held five raffles giving away works by the co-hosts, from novels and collections to albums and comics, and we streamed for over nine hours across three segments.\\n\\nIf you weren\\u2019t able to join us live, you can watch the whole thing on YouTube at this link: \\xa0https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcMKGE-tXguUkLcKhc4XdY2WCGIxk_KgG\\n\\nWe want to give special thanks to our guests: Trish Matson (who also wrote and performed an amazing hype video for the marathon that you can find in this playlist), Paul Weimer, Shaun Duke, and Noelle Leigh. and the Strange Friends crew, including Blades in the Deep GM Iori Kusano as well as Jeoi Gawain Lin, and Valerie Valdes. Big thanks to the amazing moderators at\\xa0twitch.tv/arvaneleron.\\n\\nAnd thanks again to everyone that donated and joined us live for the festivities.\\n\\nBrandon, Greg, and I are taking a little bit of time to rest and then we\\u2019ll set ourselves to the glorious task of plotting awesomeness as we work to realize the opportunities created by this incredible show of support from you, the Speculate community!'
