Investigation into allegations underway; Bonus Experience now available on Spotify; show schedule to return to normal soon; dicebag giveaway on the Misdirected Mark Forums.
Investigation Underway into Misconduct Allegations
Earlier this week, we announced that an independent consultant has been contracted to run the investigation into allegations raised earlier this year regarding misconduct on the part of one of our network hosts. The biggest change this launch brings about is the addition to a reporting channel independent of any Misdirected Mark Productions leadership. For details, please read the full announcement here, currently also pinned to the top of the misdirectedmark.com website.
Bonus Experience Now Available on Spotify
If you’ve been waiting to be able to get Bonus Experience through Spotify, the wait is now over! Check out the full show here and find all the game design and discussion goodness that Monica and Rai (and Margaret) have to offer. Support Bonus Experience on Patreon!
Show Schedule Disruptions
There have been a few disruptions to our normally scheduled podcasts and streaming shows recently due primarily to the COVID-19 epidemic and its effects. We apologize for the cancellations, but one of our core values here at MMP is that people’s health and well-being come first! We hope you all are taking care of yourselves and each other during these difficult times.
We expect our schedule to get back on track soon, and we thank you all for your understanding. The upcoming week should see a return to normally scheduled programming, but you can always get up-to-the-minute updates by checking out @MisdirectedMark on Twitter. Patreon backers at the “MMP Small Council” tier or above also get notified via our Slack team.
