I told you folks, you'd know what the Sekrit Projekt was as soon as it was announced! 😀

I know you are a writer and are friends with the Critical Role cast but this just seems weird to me. Still probably going to buy it though.

It is weird, but no weirder than a bunch of people playing D&D live in front of everybody. 😀 https://t.co/bp2jRft2Er

The stories are about adventures they did have, and we are consulting/aiding the narrative points to be in line with those tales. 🙂

Re: "pre-trial." What I wanted to do with these first issues of the comic is rewind the clock back before VM were a team. Show them meeting.

So this first storyline is not only pre-stream, it's actually pre-game!

— Matthew Colville (@mattcolville) July 22, 2017

so if successful would you continue the story to pre-stream? Maybe even into the Stream?

I have no say in stuff like that, but certainly that would be ideal! https://t.co/CsqPopudqR

— Matthew Colville (@mattcolville) July 22, 2017

how much input from the cast did you get on this pre-game stories?

— The Bearded Bugbear (@beardedbugbear) July 22, 2017

I had a meeting with Matt and Liam and pitched them this story and they seemed to like it! 1/2 https://t.co/aDDKUH5Ed0

— Matthew Colville (@mattcolville) July 22, 2017

I send them my scripts, they give feedback. It's all really minor stuff though. 2/2

— Matthew Colville (@mattcolville) July 22, 2017

@mattcolville will you be working closely with @matthewmercer on writing the comic? Or will it be total artistic freedom?

— L (@3EML3) July 22, 2017

I get little bits of feedback, mostly character details. Like how one character always introduced themselves. Otherwise it's "That's cool!" https://t.co/NWqVqUOijx
