The GOLD team is raising funds to print GOLD t-shirts & glasses for GenCon.

Each pledge to this fundraising campaign will be a pre-order of that GOLD merchandise. 

All money raised (beyond our printing costs) will go toward making more episodes of GOLD.

What Exactly is Going On Here?

The GOLD team is going to be at GenCon (the world's biggest RPG convention) August 4-7 this year. It's our big promotional push and we're attempting to make the biggest possible splash: we'll be screening both GOLD Season 1 and Night of the Zombie KIng, participating in several panels and running at least one game. We've even got a booth where you can stop by, say "hi," meet some of the creators & cast, and buy some GOLD merchandise. Which brings us to:

GOLD Merchandise at GenCon and Beyond

Until now, GOLD merchandise (T-shirts, posters, etc.) has been Print-On-Demand. Which means we design it, but it's not actually manufactured until you order it. This has allowed us to have stuff out there for fans to buy (thanks, you amazing fan people) without the significant up-front cost of making, storing & shipping a bunch of merchandise. For a cash-poor company like us, this is important. The problem with POD merch is that a) it is expensive for you (it's an inefficient way to manufacture goods) and b) we see almost no money from it, because the POD company keeps almost all of it. So, for GenCon, we'd like to manufacture some GOLD Merchandise in a more traditional way, so we can offer it at our booth on the GenCon Marketplace floor. 

The proceeds from that merch will go toward making more episodes of GOLD. If we reach our goals and can manufacture the full range of stuff, the proceeds from that could go a long way toward finally making GOLD S2 a reality.

Thing is, we need your help to get started.

What You Get

What We Need

Make a pledge and select a reward to pre-order your merchandise. We've provided several combinations for you, but if you don't see one that fits your needs, you can make more than one pledge. If we're able to make multiple styles of a given item, we'll contact you after the campaign ends to see what styles/sizes you need.

A Note About LadyGeek T-Shirts

We know you lady geeks are out there. And we know you want t-shirts cut in a more feminine style. And we'd like to make some t-shirts especially for you. Two things stand in the way of this:

1. Many ladies are comfortable wearing smaller-sized basic t-shirts, while most dudes can't/won't wear the slimmer-fitting, smaller, more feminine lady-tees. So the ladies' tees aren't as versatile a stock item.
   
2. Ladies' t-shirts are significantly more expensive to print than basic tees.
   

So, we'll make you this deal: If this campaign gets to $1750, we'll do a short run of ladies' tees in the GOLD d20 logo style. And if we hit $2000, we'll do a run in the NOTZK style. We'll offer those styles as options when the campaign ends if we hit those milestones. If the campaign goes higher, especially if a lot of LadyGeeks make pre-orders, we'll do bigger runs.

We hope we can do this. GOLD has been well-supported by LadyGeeks, and we wanna show our appreciation.

Extra Details

Just some additional notes for your pledges:

• The images and videos (there will soon be a video) on this campaign are early, evolving designs for t-shirts & glasses. When we arrive at final designs, we'll let everyone know.
• Items will be shipped in the week or two after GenCon (it ends August 7)
• If you pick up your items at our GenCon booth (instead of us shipping them to you), we'll include a little extra something for helping us save that shipping expense.
  
• If we don't reach our goal, we'll still print a small run of 1 style of t-shirt and 1 style of pint glass, so everyone will get their rewards. We'll just have to cross our fingers and hope we can sell enough of that merchandise to make up for the shortfall. We sincerely hope it doesn't come to that.
