Kentucky Browncoats
is creating a community of big damn heroes in Kentucky.1

per monthKentucky, within the United States of Earth That Was, is our claimed home on the ground. All within are welcome sanctuary as long as they mind themselves. We’re not lookin’ for trouble, most of the time. So come and sit, bring your rations, there’s room ‘nough for all passengers and work to be had...
[ Video comin' soon as the Captain works up her nerve and she's not runnin' all over the 'verse. ]
We’re a little fandom with a big heart that belongs to a sadly short-lived space-western series created by Joss Whedon – and it’s followup movie. We enjoy doing charity work, gathering monthly for bowling and other activities, and would love to have you onboard. The group is on Facebook, but we also have a monthly newsletter (starting 08/19) for those who would like to stay in the know about upcoming events.
Greetings! My name is Ana Maria Selvaggio, fka Captain Nyorissa Kel. Thank you so much for being here and for supporting the Kentucky Browncoats!
THE GROUP
Previously the Kentuckiana Browncoats, the group originally consisted of three inactive members in a Facebook group that had never met. Now two years later...
We have a long way to go to be where I would like to see us but, at 150+ members, I'm really proud of how far we've come in such little time and I can't thank YOU enough for your support.
Patreon is our next step.
THE GOAL
Having done this solo for the past two years, I need help going forward. We've had some angels watching over us here and there, but we need to build our funding into something that is sustainable and not just living from event to event. Our bank account is currently housing moths, big gorram junkie moths.
This is a work in progress, so I will be adding more perks as we go as well as making tweaks here and there. My goal is to help cover our expenses so that more of what we raise at events like our annual CSTS screening can go to charity, I won't have to worry about printing costs (Serenity didn't have a poster this year), and we can get things like PATCHES, vinyl stickers, our vintage-style bowling shirts, posters and more swag for events.
PROJECTS
Aside from scripting the LARP (live action roleplay) for our TRAIN JOB event in October, I'm working on our crew zine for the Jiu Hai Shen and developing a few ideas for down the road. I want to be able to provide more fun ways for our Browncoats to connect!
GOALS GOING FORWARD
Most of all, we'd like to find ways we can build a community of big damn heroes here in Kentucky that helps those who need it.

THE GROUP

- We have 150+ of the finest bunch of Browncoats you'll ever meet
- We have handed out more than 1,200 buttons
- We have participated in the 4th of July parade in Lexington
- We have had a booth at Scarefest in Lexington...and added 56 new members!
- We are hopefully ::fingers crossed:: booked for SuperCon in Louisville
- We are booked for LexCon in March 2019
- We have partnered with CSTS three times to show SERENITY at the historic Kentucky Theater in Lexington 100% for charity; year 1 we were No. 12 GLOBALLY for the donation.
- We have held monthly episode nights in two locations
- We have bowled and billiard'ed our butts off almost every month
- We have held parties
- And we have two interactive games designed by Renmeleon (me) EXCLUSIVE to us - "Shindig Mingle Bingo" and "Run It Through the Wash"
- AND we are about to pull a TRAIN JOB this October on an actual train!

GOALS GOING FORWARD
- Kentucky Browncoats is self-sustaining.
- Gatherings in other parts of the state, not just Lexington, Berea, and Richmond.
- A Firefly gaming event at a locally sponsor shop.
- An online tabletop game based on the Jiu Hai Shen storyline (details soon) using Roll20.
- The ability to mail out something as the Captain to all our members on their birthdays so they know their presence is appreciated. (Because it IS.)
- A cosplay workshop day for sewing and swapping clothing.
- Sponsor/partner with a charity every year for the whole or half a year, not just events.
Most of all, we'd like to find ways we can build a community of big damn heroes here in Kentucky that helps those who need it.
