Hey, everyone!
We're beyond excited to finally be able to talk more about Master And Apprentice today. You may have seen some news about it coming out of RTX London. This is the new DIY prop and cosplay-making idea that Adam (Gilby) and I have been trying to spin up for months and, thanks to a really cool deal with Facebook, we now have the resources to make a few videos and see how it goes.
This is part of the same partnership that is giving you guys five insanely new themed Million Dollars, But... videos. We're hard at work right now producing the videos and can't wait to show you what we're crafting.
We'll hopefully have news soon about a premiere date, so keep an eye out for that, and for some more sneak peeks later today! Oh, and for those wondering about the windowing schedule - after Master And Apprentice premieres free-to-watch for everyone on Facebook, it will go free-to-watch on RoosterTeeth.com after seven days, and then to our YouTube channel seven days after that.
To tide you over until then... Look at our mugs below. We're ready to craft some super cool things!

I've said it before and I'll say it again - the heck is our paid membership for if not to be first?! RT is officially changing FIRST to SECOND.
At least this time it's a whole new show. Looking forward to it when it gets posted to RT.com because I am NOT watching it on fb.

Remember, with the Facebook shows, without Facebook's investment they wouldn't exist. The delayed release is the trade off for existence. These shows should reduced as either Facebook video becomes more mainstream and doesn't need the publicity or as Facebook video fails and thus these videos become a water of money. My money is on the former

Good Lord Adam is a huge man. I know you're not a small guy just in terms of stature Marcus, but next to Adam you look tiny.

as someone who loves cosplaying i cant wait for this show. this FB deal flew over my head until I heard about it from a recent off topic. its awesome that they are able to make this content now because of FB, but i hope RT doesn't make too many timed exclusives for other platforms in the future. i know its going to be free to watch on FB which is still awesome in its own right.but it kinda feels sucky being on the other end of the timed exclusive even though you're a first member. for most people im sure this wont affect them since most people use/remember their FB. i dont know the last time i logged in and i have no clue what my account info is any more for FB either. i have no intentions of creating one either since i would still never use it beside for this RT content lol. i still think that this is great that they are able to make this content with the help of FB. That being said i really hope RT thinks a little bit about first members next time they make time exclusive content for another platform.
all that out of the way im still very excited for this haha

I would rather not get new content at all if it means I have to watch it on Facebook. Really interested in this show but no way am I going to try and watch it on Facebook.

That sounds interesting. I'm not very good at handicrafting, usually because I lack the great idea or patience. I also get frustrated quickly.
So, not the best qualities to build props and costumes, but I do like watching how people who know their stuff doing it (like various DIY home improvement shows).
I especially like the idea of including 'apprentice', which I hope will result in not skipping too much of the process. I will definitely be checking this out once it comes to the RT site.

Sounds like a great show - although i've got to wonder with Facebook's recent funding (which is great for content), it leaves me with the question, how long before Zuck tries to buy RT?

Why buy RT when they get everything they want from RT already... members & views.
Maybe the big question is
HOW MANY RT "FIRST" WILL GO TO FACEBOOK TO SEE THIS WITHOUT DELAY?

So excited! And no offense to the RT site makers/runners, I really do love the RT site, but the Facebook video player works 100% of the time for me&loads quicker than anything else, so I'm actually happy Facebook partnered with you guys for this show too, haha. Cannot wait to see it!

I am also so excited for this. I love to make and love prop/model making but am inexperienced with it. I can't wait to see this show fully display the skills Marcus has accumulated over years as well as the things Adam has done with some cosplay and his wife's cosplay too.

You mention making a few videos and seeing where it goes...does this tie in to how the videos do on Facebook? Or will popularity on the RT site and youtube be enough to push for more? I am not a fan of Facebook, and would rather not be pushed from the RT site to theirs to try and keep a show that I like.

Facebook just enabled us to make this the high quality show we really wanted. If this show is popular in any capacity, on any platform, then we are likely to make more. Please feel free to consume your content wherever it makes sense for you. It's success on Facebook has no bearing on whether we decide to make more for Rooster Teeth.
