Hello!

 

My name is Josh "Anoriand" Fagundes. I'm a variety streamer who has been streaming for over 3 years now and have been working my way further into the TTRPG space. I have worked as a voice actor with Dimension 20, been a guest star on the official DNDBeyond channel for fundraising as well as on some notable Actual Plays like Shikar and Identity Reborn, and am looking to produce and start a few Actual Plays on my own channel! The first of three major projects I have planned is this one! A Tale Of Two Lions is an Actual Play inspired by Final Fantasy Tactics and set in the 50 Years War preceding the events of the original game. The game will have an original storyline guided by the stories and choices of the players while weaving in several of the threads the original game gave you. Want to see some of the 50 Years Wars greatest heroes and villains at the apex of their power? Uncover the rise and fall of several prominent soldiers and family names? See the origins of some power grabs that can lead to the unraveling of the world itself? We can promise all that and more in this series.

 

So! As for what the funding will actually go to, here is a point-by-point breakdown of all the relevant information. To begin with,  the game will run for 10 episodes on consecutive weeks, hosted live on Twitch on My Personal Channel , and then hosted after the fact on My Youtube Channel  for archiving. The game will feature myself as DM along with 5 players. Accordingly, the money will essentially be broken down into milestones, with the following ones in order:

 

-The first $1250 will go towards paying the 5 players at a minimum rate of $25 per episode, per player ($250 total for the run x 5 players = $1250). The show will not begin until at LEAST this milestone is hit, to ensure at least basic payment for players.

-The next $700 will go to art and assets for the run, including character art, layouts and the like. This may be a slight overestimation but I would rather overestimate than underpay, and anything extra here goes to the players as well.

-The next $1250 will go towards bumping the player pay from $25 per episode, per player to $50 per episode, per player ($500 total for the run)

-The last $500, assuming we actually reach this donation point, will go towards paying me an equal amount to the players. so $50 per episode as DM. I am leaving this for last because my main goal is to get this running and get the players paid, so I will only be taking payment from this goal if I achieve my other amounts.

 

Any money potentially raised past this will go towards starting a fund for the next projects I have in the pipeline (As stated, this is the first of 3 planned AP projects).

 

Thank you so much for any help, time and energy you can provide towards this project. I know I can show that I will be one of the great DMs in the TTRPG space and that I am an excellent storyteller and have reached out to and prepared a fantastic crew of players, but I want to set a standard and use this to uplift some of the voices in the space and with your help I think we can do something special.
