Investigation Underway into Misconduct Allegations
An independent consultant is heading the investigation into allegations raised earlier this year regarding misconduct on the part of one of our network hosts. This has meant the addition of a reporting channel independent of any Misdirected Mark Productions leadership, currently available and remaining so at least through Saturday, April 18th. For details, please read the full announcement here, currently also pinned to the top of the misdirectedmark.com website.
Stay Connected on MMP Slack
We know things are getting financially tighter for a lot of people during the current COVID-19 crisis, and that includes you fine folks who support Misdirected Mark Productions on Patreon. If reducing or canceling your monthly pledge would help you with your health and happiness, please don’t hesitate to do so!
In addition, until further notice, any Patreon supporter who already had MMP Slack access in March will keep it, regardless of any change to Patreon activity in the coming months. We want you to know the community you’ve been a part of will still be here for you to connect with. You help support us, and we want to help support you. And if you have access to the Slack team and haven’t checked in, this is a good time to do so. We are there for each other in these tough times!

The live stream actual play show BXP’s Bi-cons is going on a brief hiatus while the cast and crew get re-situated.
