~$1700 away from Origins hitting the goal mark.
Outstanding. =D

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Can't wait to see Rich's reaction.

That doesn't particularly matter. They have to see the total most of the way to $140,000 which is my estimate for where the NCftPB awards will kick in. The SSaDT awards are down to the last 20% already.
-
Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
After OtOoPC is added to the rewards we are gonna witness a HUGE jump as people like me update from one book to two books...
-
Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Given that we're at $95,000+ dollars already and have 27 days left, I think it's safe to say we'll be getting Origin back in print.
-
Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Of course, there is the caveat that the pledges can still be pulled between now and the end of the pledge period. Which means that if somebody pulls out of one of the big limited pledges, it would have a sizable effect on the overall pledged amount.
-
Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Just another stat note . . .
The rate has remained stable at around a $1,500 increase for each of the past 3 hours.
Once the SSaDTs finish up, I would wager that without new preciouses we'll see the rates sharply decrease, stabilize for a bit, and then begin a steady decrease until saturation is reached.

By now it's safe to say we are getting NCftPB as well. The only remaining question is - will we get a full reprint of every book by next month?

Yup. It'll still be worth it for Rich to put those rewards up though, they will get it moving rapidly towards the NCftPB goal.

Well everyone who pledged $250+ could pull out and we'd still have enough to hit the minimum amount.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
If this keeps up, we'll be reprinting everything. I can't wait to see how high this goes. Hope Rich can come up with new goals, and fast. :smallbiggrin:
-
Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
I'm imagining that one of the update graphs is going to include Haley buried under a pile of money. At the point of writing, we are less than $600 away from a full reprint of OoPCs.
-
Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Congrats, Rich, this is astounding and comes to prove how huge and loyal and excitable your fan group is !
(By the way, the last couple of comics were simply fantastic.)
I pledged just $10 since I have all the books already, I have made gifts of copies to friends, in other words, I'm all set. No need to spend more of Earth's resources. But after I had entered my pledge, I found that I'm getting 4 stories in PDF, instead of one ! I'm delighted, but I also feel a little cheap now... Since you're going to set new targets now that the highest one is reached (it should be any minute now), ideas for additional rewards not involving books would be great.
-
Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Possible new rewards for those who have all the books... Just throwing ideas around:
Magnets - a reprint of the set (eg Belkar) or another web exclusive one?
A collected printed book with the stories written for the kickstarter (probably too complicated and expensive).
A one page comedic of character sheet for minor NPCs in the world (Sangwaan, Guy with the halberd, etc ...) at a new price point. Featuring a couple of illustrations and likes / dislikes, strong points. Who wouldn't pay to learn more about Bozzak, Crystal and all the other minor NPCs?
Sketchbook pages from the author (à la SSDT)
A set of cut-out paper counters with common monsters of OOTS and characters for tabletop gaming - The origin of rich's stick figures if I remember correctly. Release to everyone who has pledged, 1 counter every x dollars.
A set of skits from the demon roaches.
More stuff like the Series 1: Magic Items to Put Back and voting incentives.
A Belkar murder-a-thon, how much XP (and USD) can the belkster (aka Sexy Shoeless God of War) amass before meeting a monster too big for him?
-
Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Well, its certainly is an awesome thing to watch, isn't it?
I, too, hope that Rich isn't buried beneath a mountain of autographed books!
My only (selfish) worry is that NCFtPB is reached (that'd be horrible, eh?) - its going to be confusing to find the rewards for all the combinations of books. I don't need OtOOPCs, for example, just WaXP and NCFtPB (and DStP....).
I know, a minor worry :smallbiggrin:
Congrats to Rich!

You can always up your pledge to an amount which you feel is non-cheap but retain the same pledge award. :smallsmile:
Personally I think that you shouldn't feel cheap though.

Just an aside,
trying to read this post (or any that use the abbrevs) in my mind makes it sound like the Tazmanian Devil is about to start spinning.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Achievement Unlocked (Full Print Run [On the Origins of PCs]).
-
Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
And there we go. Origins of PCs can be reprinted. Now on to Paladin Blues...
-
Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
*ding* goal achieved
only two ninjas? That's pretty good
-
Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
We made it, a new print run of OtOoPC's:smallbiggrin:
-
Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Ding!
$96,950. Well 96,960.
But hey, say hello Darwin.

If we get the increased amount then, both books will be reprinted at the same time; this would actually be ideal, since the printer will give me a slight price break for printing multiple books at once.
If the WAXP drive succeeds but not by enough to reprint OTOPCs, then it probably won't be reprinted until after I've put out the next new OOTS book, whenever that ends up being.
I hope this hasn't been answered somewhere else, but:
Why don't you use a print-on-demand service? There are several out there. Your won't run any financial risk and your books will never be out of print.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Rich needs a new goal now. :smallamused:
-
Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
$90 of the Origins reprint goal. It was $50,000 when I went to bed.
-
Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Another goal reached... so what's next?
-
Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Between 3:11 pm and 3:12 pm US Central time the pledge hit $96,950.

[edit: Rich just posted a new update and it sounds like he's going to take care of the combinations of books as goals get met - woohoo!]

That's one I'm really interested in since my local shop hasn't got it left in stock (compared to origins for example).

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
I'm kind of hoping Start of Darkness goes in the rewards pool but...if not, I'm fine with SSDT and WAXP.
