<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Along the way, we realized our community goes beyond just entertainment brands and fans. It includes crypto OGs, NFT lifers, apes, kennels, goatz, cats, and more. Our community represents the best of the general NFT community while it also welcomes more mainstream fans who share a love for entertainment and great storytelling. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That’s why we’re excited to announce Curio X. A new home for the NFT projects you’ll love from the NFT creators you respect. This dedicated collab will give NFT creators the support of an active and passionate community while introducing our community to new and upcoming brands created by the next generation of IP creators. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The first project is </span><a href="https://hubs.la/H0TF2X_0"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Curio X NFT Dungeon™</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. This collection of 12,000 generated RPG (Role-Playing Game) adventurers was created by Sam Ellis, best known for his work on </span><a href="https://www.fxnetworks.com/shows/archer"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Archer</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> (FX) and </span><a href="https://www.boom-studios.com/wordpress/series/adventure-time/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Adventure Time</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> (BOOM! Studios). After releasing the first 1,000 on </span><a href="https://opensea.io/collection/nft-dungeon"><span style="font-weight: 400;">OpenSea</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, Sam brought the project to Curio, a win-win since he’s currently serving as Curio’s Head of Product. Sam says, “NFT Dungeon is a love letter to all things crypto-geek, namely NFTs and RPGs.” Curio X NFT Dungeon launches on Curio <span class="sh-date" tabindex="0" data-date-isostring="2021-08-04T04:00:00.000Z">today, August 4th</span> at 12 PM PT, with a limited run of 500 editions sold at 0.05 ETH. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In true community fashion, we’re proud to launch with the support of enthusiastic partners like </span><a href="https://themetakey.com/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Metakey</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> &amp; </span><a href="https://houseofkibaa.com/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">House of Kibaa</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. In the case of Metakey, you have an avid DnD fan in Michael P, Community, Social Media and Marketing Manager, who openly loves the project and is on record as saying: </span></p> <p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“There are a rapidly accelerating number of RPG nerds exploring the metaverse, myself included! NFT Dungeon combines the viral potential of the D&amp;D and TTRPG renaissance; the economy and collectibility of the generative NFT avatar movement; and the animated whimsy of Sam’s iconic art style. With its mainstream fandom-bridging architecture, Curio feels like the perfect platform for NFT Dungeon to thrive. The Metakey team are all extremely excited about the shared experiences we’re building together!” </span></i></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Metakey group loved the project so much that they even live-streamed a Dungeon’s &amp; Dragons One-Shot, yesterday, Tuesday, August 3rd at 7 PM EDT. Some lucky streamers were even gifted the in-game adventurers. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While Jason, Grant, &amp; the entire HOK team have been thrilled to throw their technical prowess behind the collection and have created 500 one-of-a-kind 3D NFT Collectibles. These 500 NFTs will be airdropped to randomly selected collectors as the project meets sales thresholds. We're honored to partner with these groups and know that these collaborations are what the NFT community is all about.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Check out the </span><a href="https://hubs.la/H0TF2X_0"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Curio X NFT Dungeon</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> collection on Curio -- and if you’re a creator or artist, get in touch.
