You have bolstered our spirits and ensured our efforts are not in vain. If we reach 500 Familiar, or higher level, pledges (across both funds), Nick will schedule the next installment of “Mysterious Benefactors” and continue these live-streamed gaming events (with celebrity guests) for the viewing public to enjoy.
You have purchased a “boon token” that either gives a player-character advantage on one roll (they get to roll twice and take the highest result), or gives them Inspiration (an additional attempt at a saving throw to shrug off a terrible condition or effect).
You’ll be given access to all behind-the-scenes information on the design process behind the Red Raven adventure. Additionally, you are hereby invited to attend one or more of a few live online “Ask Me Anything” gatherings with Nick Logue about his adventure design and/or the DM techniques he employs in his secret art. These seminars will take place one week after the event (Sunday April 8th) with a few time slots available to accommodate patrons in divergent time zones.
You get the Shadowy Ally reward, but also you can provide a healing potion to any player-character of your choice (or leave it up to Nick). You’re chosen hero regains 2d8+2 hit points! Get them back in the fight!

Additionally, you’ll get to provide a player-character of your choice of a timely piece of magical loot that will give them a fighting chance against the rising tide of evil during the Red Raven. Finally, you have the honor of naming one of the new blades you’ve provided for our armory. The name you choose for this magical weapon will be inscribed upon it for all time, and we’ll think of your generous donation every time we hand it out in class for battle!

Additionally, you’ll get updates from the cast whose production costs you’ve sponsored throughout the semester so you can see your gift’s effect on their learning and training. You’ll also work with Nick to grant a timely wish or miracle effect at a crucial moment in the tale of the Red Raven, changing crushing defeat into soaring victory!
You gain the Archmage Ascendant Rewards. Your name shall be added as a Founding Patron of the Conservatory on our Founders Plaque to be installed at the commencement of our Fall 2023 Season.
