[edit] So... Another series?
With the new stretch goals, it looks like Six-Sadded-Die is going to be another live-action spin-off. I hope these videos get uploaded to Youtube so we can given them proper names. Should I put "became a kickstarter stretchgoal" in fast forward or am I getting to far ahead? Guybrush20X6 14:47, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
[edit] mp4 Video link
The video remains available on the Kickstarter page, but providing a lasting link to just the video seems to prove a challenge. According to the history, I updated the link in question several months ago, and now that link says that the URL expired two days later. I found another URL which is just as convoluted, but I figure the same thing will happen with that one. Does anyone have any further insight about how to handle this?

- I think that given that there doesn't seem to be a static link (or at least a way to publicly access one), in this case it's better to simply link to the campaign page and add a note to where the video can be viewed. Six-Sadded, Die. - Don't Make Daddy P.O.'d#External Links can be instructive here. In this article's case, it can be something along the lines of:
- Watch "Six-Sadded, Die" on the Kickstarter campaign page (located under the "How do I play it?" subhead graphic)
- Also: because Kickstarter live videos expire after some time (e.g. Trogdor Playthrough with Strong Bad & friends!), encountering an error page when the "watch" link is clicked may give the impression that this video too has been as lost as four-armed Grimace. I don't think the hassle of "every couple months (weeks?)
