Series Length

Now that I've seen the first episode, I'm afraid the series will eventually have to end. How far off is that going to be? Is this project planned to continue indefinitely, or are there a set number of episodes in mind- at least for a first season?

I think I can field this one for now...

Matt has said that they are shooting for about 5-6 episodes. I think this has the potential to be fairly big, depending on how the community develops (obviously).

So it may end up being more. It all depends on generous contributions from viewers like you! [/pbsbroadcasting]

As soon as I get some money, then, I'll be sure to share a bit of it with these fine fellows.

It would be interesting to see if they'll come up with a way of making money on this. Advertising is the obvious way of doing it I guess.

The pure pwnage crew sells t-shirts, but that's kind of a suitable franchise related to their show. You'll never see me buying a Luigi hat in this life, for obvious reasons. T-shirts are just more appealing that way

I would personally purchase a signed picture of Kirby...written in blood of course...

Merchandise, like you said, is a good idea. It's what the guys a roosterteeth did to make money off Red vs. Blue.

They can do what Red vs. Blue did before they got Bungie's blessing and turn popular quotes and themes from the series into shirts. For example: "You always got the goods, Luigi", "Tiny Guts", "WE! AIN'T! NO! PLUMBERS!!", "Roy, Pichu, Mewtwo: Gone but not forgotten", and many more!

i second that idea, thinking about finding a printing shop and doing that myself, jsut for kicks, hehe

Now that would be lame. Let them make some money off their own ideas, won't you?

When I pay for shit, I pay for legit shit. Not shit.

Are you saying you're Too Legit To Shit?

On the subject of merchandise, I wouldn't mind of they put the series or some episodes on DVD and sold them.

In fact, I'd be ecstatic and buy a copy immediately.

We've already ruled that out as blatant lawsuit bait. Matt Mercer has proposed giving away some free DVDs to winners of future contests, though.

I...Must...Win...A...Contest!!! That would be so baller to have a DVD of this

If they made a poster of Kirby signed in blood, I wouldn't think twice about buying one of them. Maybe two so that way I have a Christmas present for a friend or something.

Aw, yeah, I forgot about that. ;-; Darn it. Well... At least there's still SOME hope of a DVD. =

You'll have a hard time getting your hands on one, though... good luck.

Well there is always the option of downloads of the episodes so people can burn it to dvd if they want to.

And FWI I'd buy a hat or crown if they offered it. I'm a cosplayer. I'd be fun to run around in it, even if I'm not in the costume entirely BUT a mario hat would be hard to sell without legal issues.

I'm just saying that I'd rather pay for something that comes from the real deal, that way, my money would go to support them and not a knock-off thing.

I agree with Smashbro. I'd only buy from them so the money I give is used to make more or to help pay for what they did spend.

I was really just making a pun. Too Legit To Quit, anyone?

When it's all done, you guys can buy bloodstained costumes.
The money will go to me, Matt's girlfriend, and their room mate for having to house all the brawl crap between filming. J/K

On a completely unrelated and, in my opinion, awesome side note, our Mario and Luigi have taken their costumes and gone with a friend of the crew to some charity events dressed up for kids with illnesses which I think is personally one of the coolest things about this project. I love how something that started out as a big joke and some fun is kind of giving back a little and it gives me a little personal pride to know some of the stuff I've made or pulled for the shoots has made some kids day.

I can imagine this scene at the hospital....

Nurse: Thank you both so much for visiting the kids. You've really made their whole week. Now, I was wondering, while you're here, we are having some problems with a bathroom sink on the fourth floor...

Paul: What did she just say? WHAT DID SHE JUST SAY!?

Matt: Calm down, Paul, there are kids here...

Hello? MC Hammer's last album? Am I the only one not culturally blind here?
