Introducing Troupe Tidings from the Royal Road
Whether you're brand new or you've followed along with The Golden Troupe for some time, you'll notice the ever ongoing slog that the characters are constantly put through on the daily. I'm sure you can relate.
Which is why I wanted to start a little Art Mail Club that gets it.
How does it usually go? You subscribe, they sell, you roll your eyes, then unsubscribe.

What's included in the Troupe Tidings?
I created Troupe Tidings to help uplift my friends, share our collective love of weird animals and foster a community of kindhearted people with a penchant of bad luck that they didn't necessarily create for themselves...
Each version of Troupe Tidings varies, based on the one you sign up for:
- FREE Signup! - Sign up using the form below to get a free welcome wallpaper pack, one of each of the Troupe in your very first email! Every month after, you'll receive a note from myself helping you to get through the month (there's always *something*), PLUS a few digital goodies!
- Membership - You're automagically signed up for Troupe Tidings as soon as you sign up for one of the 4 tiers below (pick your fav character: Aspa, Morgh, Rioxia or Qui!) You get the letter, the digital goodies, but ALSO... a new wallpaper for your phone every month, as well as extra exclusive collectables.
- The Golden Troupe Membership - With this tier, you get the letter, the goodies, the monthly phone wallpaper, the exclusive collectables AND one more extra special thing... the answer to the secret hidden in the comic each month! (Did you even realise there was a mystery every month in the comic?) The Golden Troupe members get the inside scoop on what's happened and the wide-view reveal of the behind-the-panel mystery.
If this sounds like fun, sign up below to get started!

What's the Royal Road anyway?
The Road Road is the first mail system in the world! It was created over 2,500 years ago, during the Achaemenid Empire.
At that time, no official system of mail delivery had existed and couriers going by foot took weeks, if not months to deliver messages. The royal ruling family instituted the Royal Road, hired riders and routes that used to take months to walk by foot now took less than 10 days!
It seemed only fitting that the Troupe sends it's tidings from the Royal Road, since they were there when it was still new.
Long stretches of this ancient path still exist today and there are places you can ride horses along the same paths that people millenia before had travelled!
