- · If we don't hit goal, you can request a refund or roll your pledge to Episode 2.

Tribulations & victories — the source material for the next episode
Only lived experience belongs here. A trial you walked through, or a breakthrough you earned. Top-voted stories become canon Kael's arc draws from. Anything else — ideas, gear, what-ifs — goes in the Open Ideas track below.
Your story shapes Episode 2. Fund the episode that tells it — scroll to the Bitcoin section.

✦ The Production Pledge
No episode goes into production until it's fully funded.
Traditional accountability. Spoken plainly, posted publicly, kept exactly.
- 1.Funded before built. Animation, voice, music, and post don't start until the episode's production fund hits 100%. The progress bar below is the contract.
- 2.Every sat is traceable. The Bitcoin address is public. The spend log below shows exactly where the money went — by episode, by category, with notes.
- 3.Episode 1 carries the weight. The first episode pays for the foundation — rigs, environments, audio chain, title sequence, pipeline. Every episode after costs a fraction because those assets are reused. Early donors fund the leverage.
- 4.If a goal isn't met, you get options. Request a refund (card donations, within 30 days) or roll your pledge to the next episode. Concept work and script continue regardless — only the costly production stage is gated.
- 5.No hidden treasury. Funds aren't pooled into a war chest. Each episode is a discrete fundraise with a discrete budget and a discrete ledger.
Signed by the production. Verifiable on-chain. Auditable forever.

Help us keep making this for you
Realm Rangers is independent and ad-free. Every sat goes straight into the next episode — writing, art, sound, animation.
✦ What your donations unlock
A real 25-minute episode, made by a real team. Not a clip. Not a mock-up. A full episode of Realm Rangers — Kael, the world, the lesson — requires:
- · Writer + story editor
- · Storyboard + key animation team
- · Background artists + color
- · Voice cast + dialogue editor
- · Composer + sound design
- · Compositing + final post
We don't start production until the episode is fully funded — that's the ethical pledge above. Every sat is traceable in the spend log. No team, no episode. Your donation is the bridge.
✦ Why Bitcoin
We recommend donating in Bitcoin. It's another front of the same liberation — the energy of digital financial freedom. Peer-to-peer, no middlemen, no permission slips. New to it? Start with our Bitcoin Starter below.
