Original Post: It’s the one year anniversary of Shroud of the Avatar’s successful crowdfunding today:

It is hard to believe that it was one year ago today, April 7th, that we completed our successful Kickstarter campaign! What a fun and tumultuous ride that 30-day campaign was, with all of our Early Founders helping drive us to almost double our funding goal! If it weren’t for all of you, none of us would be here today!

The tremendous support that all of you have shown over the past year has been phenomenal! Not only did you help kickstart Shroud of the Avatar, but throughout the year you have continued to pour your support into the project with your participation in the forums, your crowdsourced art and music, helping enlist new backers, and your ongoing funding support through pledge upgrades. Your passion, commitment, generosity, and sheer love for what we are all building together is the fuel that drives all of us on the dev team on a daily basis!

Above is the video embed for the currently-live, twelve-or-so-hour special Hangout of the Avatar. The schedule of events for it (some have now passed, as the Hangout has been going on for a few hours already) can be found here. Tune in if you have time!
