Freelance Reflections #74
I’ve gone from being worried about having no work to being overwhelmed with how to schedule it and having to turn stuff down. Such is freelance life! I’m worried about some of the schedule as I know how tired I get already (I fell asleep at my laptop this week!) but I also know I will be back in a period of uncertainty come December as I’ll lose a lot of students around that time. I’m…

Mask of the Rose is coming out this April for PC/Mac/Linux and Nintendo Switch, and we are beginning the celebrations now!
As a Feast of the Rose gift for you all, we’ve commissioned fibre artist and games enthusiast The Pigeon’s Nest to create a crochet pattern for your favourite verbacient Master of the Bazaar, Mr Pages!
The Mr Pages crochet pattern is available from The Pigeon’s Nest, for free, as a downloadable pdf. You can work up your own cuddly Master and tell it all of your love stories while you wait to get close to the real thing in Mask of the Rose...
Down the years we’ve often been asked for plushies of our characters, and we have finally found this lovely solution to offer people which doesn’t have the same kind of negative environmental impact as your average plush toy. The Pigeon’s Nest (aka Bex) is an independent crochet artist who creates patterns, crochet kits and crocheted items, as well as courses for learning to crochet and all manner else besides. We’re so delighted with her design for Mr Pages!
In addition to the free pattern, Bex has made 30 Mr Pages kits, containing all of the yarn and fixings you’ll need to make a little Master of your own. Bex is also offering to create 10 complete Mr Pages, who will be made to order. The kits are priced at £25 each and the complete Mr Pages are £65, available from The Pigeon's Nest.
If you make a little Mr Pages, please do share it with us! We’d love to see where they end up.
WIN a crochet Mr Pages
As if that’s not enough, we have a complete Mr Pages for one lucky competition winner to claim!
Simply pop into our Discord or community forums and let us know which Mask of the Rose character you’re most looking forward to spending time with.
The competition runs from today, the 9th of February, until Friday the 24th at 1400 GMT, and the winner will be drawn by random number generator the following week.
Best of luck, delicious friends!
Read the full competition terms and conditions if that’s your thing.

top 5 promotion failures of dan’s tour?
close to no promotion for original dates and no separate promo for added shows (looks like whoever is in charge they don't know how to work with Dan's audience. and Dan doesn't wanna help them. which is valid if he didn't agree to that on the paper).
Kitchener cancellation without any acknowledgment up until like a day before the show's initial date.
Oxford and Cambridge drama even before the tour started.
controversial opinion: his promo videos don't help much because they are not informative enough to make people buy tickets. it's hard to tell what to expect from the show. Dan ranting about life like he does in his liveshows? a stand-up show? a one-man show? go figure! wrong marketing strategy in general.
added tour dates with 0 announcements to the audience, thus us having to find out about them by ourselves, and then the cancellation of half of those dates because no one is buying tickets.
honorable mentions:
not a word from Dan about that one show that had a different venue to the one listed on the tour site (it wasn't Nashville).
no updates on the site (cancelled Sydney and Copenhagen are still there, no indication of NEW shows therefore people don't see them).
mistakes/flaws in promo images and emails from the promoter (AXS).
creating tiktok account to promote the tour on one of the most popular platforms and yet, no real interest in doing so.
the lack of Phil's presence.
