Back in the early internet days of 2007, Felicia Day, was an actor best known for her late season Buffy as potential slayer Vi. Becoming frustrated by the lack of roles suitable for her interests. Taking matters into her own hands, she created "The Guild" - comedy series that incorporated her love of MMO's. The web series ran from 2007-2013 and ushered in a slew of creator studios on YouTube and other platforms. (She founded Geek & Sundry which launched a number of shows, most famously, Critical Role)

With the 20th anniversary of the Guild looming, she was approached by unnamed studio execs who asked if she had ever considered rebooting the series with younger performers. Instead, it prompted a now completed fan fundraising campaign that raised nearly $6.8M dollars for a Guild movie, a new gaming series and other goodies.
