IT'S OVER 9000!
🕑 Added 2014-11-15 19:49:57 +0000 UTC I'm sorry. I can never not do that. But seriously, this Patreon has raised over $9,000! You guys are amazing. $10,000 seemed like a pipe dream when we launched this thing not even three months ago, and now we're looking for a second artist and preparing for a full-time James. Wow. We've talked about adding new milestones - there's already one for $12,000, and I'd still love to hear suggestions from you folks for others. Regardless of milestones, though, your generosity has opened up a lot of opportunities for us that we didn't have the resources to consider before. I don't want to over-promise, so I won't say what those opportunities are just yet, but I'll tell you as soon as I know anything certain. Sound fair?Comments

I was thinking at some point you could commission historians to consult on the writing.

I've been watching EC since it's very early days, and I'm so proud to see how you guys have grown and expanded! One of the greatest shows on the internet. Keep up the great work!
Adam Thomas
Congratulations, this is very exciting. The EC and EH viewers community should give themselves a pat on the back for this one (and you guys, James and Dan as well of course).

I'm also looking forward to the 10,000 mark as it will mean Extra History every week. Congratulations to y'all for making it this far so quickly. It just shows that when you put out such a wonderfully informative and entertaining display your efforts will get recognized and appreciated.

That's wonderful to hear. I love that show.

As more people start to find the Sengoku Jidai series and spread it, we should be in for another influx of patrons. We'll have to mention it on anime sites and etc..

Wonderful news! Good luck getting more. 10K, here we come.

That OK, maybe a bit shoehorn in but it's way better than "That's a lot of cash" know the reference

9000 or 8000?

For a new stretch goal, how about comic book versions of your videos? You've already got the art, just need to add text blocks and word balloons.
Brian Rose
So exciting, and congrats! If you guys do decide to offer another show as a milestone, might I humbly suggest doing a second history series? Maybe something more specific (like American History) or building off previous installments (like a long series on WWI), or maybe just split the show between "modern" and "ancient/medieval" history -- either way, I know there's a lot of stuff you guys say you'd love to cover, and we'd all love to see more of it.

As the designer of one of the EC t-shirts (the tie one), I'd love to participate. First one is on me :)
Extra History
Ooh, I'd love that! I definitely want to have more, say, showpiece art for us all to remember each series by. I'll see what I can do on that front!
Extra History
We are looking at a way to bring back Design Club, but making it a regular show turned out to be more than getting the money to fund it, so a Patreon wouldn't do it alone. It is something I'm actively working on though, I promise, and we will continue to have episodes as we're able to produce them. :)
Extra History
Like I said, can't help myself. ;)
Extra History
I HAVE SOME IDEA BECAUSE I'M EXCITED TOO LET'S JUMP UP AND DOWN EXCITEDLY TOGETHER!
Guilherme Harrison
WOOOOOO!!!!!! Idea: maybe invite an artist to do a wallpaper sized rendition for every new theme?
Heran Bago
Can we do a Patreon for Design Club?
Arturo Gutierrez
congrats!
