Hey, DG and ZOE fans!
This is a big weekend! We're at booth 402 at Emerald City Comic Con, we're showing a sneak peek at footage from The Gamers: Hands of Fate, and digital downloads of the feature cut of JourneyQuest Season Two are now available. Read on for the details!
JourneyQuest: Season Two—the ongoing epic that SciFiPulse.net calls "one of the ten best web series of 2012"—has been recut and remastered for this definitive feature length edition and is made possible thanks to your support and encouragement.
The digital release is available in streaming and downloadable forms, all without DRM and compatible with almost any modern media device. City of the Dead is now available for digital streaming and download at http://www.journeyquestmovie.com
We're also opening pre-orders for the Director's Cut DVD, right here at http://fansupported.net/shop/journeyquest-season-2/ . The DVD has over 600 minutes of special features, including an exclusive Bonus Episode: "Nomicon & The Founder", Director's Diaries, Behind the Scenes, Outtakes, Six Commentary Tracks, Four Featurettes, Five Interviews, and Script Library and Production Archives on DVD-ROM.
Remember, if you pledged to receive any of these items as rewards for the JourneyQuest or Hands of Fate Kickstarter campaigns, you don't need to do anything. We're emailing your download keys today and the DVDs will return from replication soon, at which point we'll immediately start signing and shipping them, along with the rest of your rewards.
Come say hello to us at Booth #402! We have tons of merch, loads of cast members, and plenty of silver and gold sharpies. It's a great time to pick up a DVD, poster, t-shirt, or Mask of Death module, or even to get your cat signed. And yes, the new Gamers Live: Indianapolis 2012 DVDs are here.
We also have some great panels going on all weekend. Take a look!
(And by the way—we'll upload our sneak peek at Gamers 3 for Kickstarter backers as an excluslve update shortly. You know who you are!)
