Bring The Come Bargain Trilogy To Life In 2025

Right.

The first draft of this read like I’d (Leo) never met a human being before, so let’s go again.

Thank you all. You’ve given money to a project I’m passionate about, and it means a huge amount. Both financially and emotionally. Being at 25% of our fundraising goal means we’ve already got the money to put down a deposit on the venue, and makes it more likely other people will follow your example and donate.

Some of you are regular fans on social media, others not so much. So you might have missed the online Q&A (which also converted a ‘not listening’ husband into a fan), blogs exploring everything from the audience experience to who the characters are to Pratchett and Le Guin’s deep influence on the show, and a whole bunch of other updates.

What we’ve not told anyone yet is that work has begun. Design conversations are happening, creating three distinct occult environments for you to explore. Come Murder An Uncanny Thing is really taking shape, with a much clearer sense of its ominous world of justice and revenge. Stay tuned, because we might do a test show we invite backers to…

(Is this convincingly human? I hope so…)

Other Benefits Incoming

Now, those of you who backed us at Celebrant level and above - make sure you check your inboxes tomorrow morning for a backer-exclusive poem and the date of our first online hangout!

It’s a chance for the team to get to meet you, find out what you’re interested in, and talk about the world of uncanny things as it takes shape.

Meanwhile, our Philanthropist backers (and higher) are going to get a special invite to enter that world. They’ll be invited to our first monthly tabletop roleplaying game session, stepping into the eldritch world of the show and trying to survive (while Leo tries out some new ideas on them)…

(Ah, the human urge to experimentation. And pretending to be people in fantasy worlds.)

Yes, There’s A Favour To Ask

What now?

We’ve got a month left on this crowdfunder, and if there’s anything you want from us, let us know. Blogs about a particular question? More videos and music? Scavenger hunts?

There’s really one massive favour we want to ask of you:

TELL PEOPLE ABOUT US.

Whether that’s liking and sharing our social media content, speaking to your friend who loves this sort of thing, or telling a wealthy enemy that it would make you really sad if they gave us money, the only way we’re going to achieve our goals is through word of mouth.

If we can reach our fundraising goal in the next few weeks, the path to Come Bargain is secure. If you can help us do that by bringing more people into the group, please - help us make new friends.

(In a human way. Not in an eldritch-monster-stealing-children way.)
