The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!

[MoonCat]

Okay, I've gotta ask.

Who is Rich Baker?

EDIT: That was entirely unintentional, I promise!

[Kobold-Bard]

I wonder if page 100 will resurrect and/or summon the Rich Baker.

Until Wampax reappears to tell us, we can only hope that it doesn't.

*cue ominous music*

[dakameleon]

Someone was mentioning earlier in this thread that the pages in this topic roughly follow $10k increases in pledges... We've got ahead of ourselves a bit but it's simply amazing how true that's held thus far!

Ed:Page 100!

[Sunken Valley]

Rich Baker, heed my cry!

[Isomenes]

Finally plinked for the poster & patch. I'll be getting the other books piecemeal, but until I get my tax refund I can only do this. Thanks, Mr. Giant sir.

[SalSar_Thiran]

After poking around I am wondering if Kisckstarter will even bother to mention our drive. We are not featured on the front page or even listed as a high power project. I'm guess that while they may be forced to at least mention us, it will be like a one sentence "wow" and then they will go back to push the projects they acutally want ie. tech toys.

We were actually the project of the day a couple days ago, so they have probably just moved on to give other projects a chance in the limelight.

[Shale]

We've already been called out on the blog and featured as project of the day. I'm sure they'll do something for the million, too - it's only the third time that's happened (even if it's also the third time this month), after all.

[Porthos]

Okay, I've gotta ask.

EDIT: That was entirely unintentional, I promise!

As near as I can tell, when this board first opened and Rich Burlew was getting started, people were confusing his name with D&D Game Designer Rich Baker. The fact that Rich Baker's name was a combination of Rich Burlew and Keith Baker led to even more hilarity. And thus the legend of the eldritch horror known as Rich Baker being imprisoned by the board was formed.

But you'd have to ask the people who were around when the board was first formed for the full details.

[Gift Jeraff]

What is this inferior page 100 nonsense? It's page 75 I tell you!

[IrnBruAddict]

I caved. I finally upped my pledge and got SSaDT when I only planned on getting the magnet and pdf's then later the patch.

... ah well!

Page 100. whoo!

They must. It is not the feat of Double Fine for raising 1 mi in 24hs and approaching 2mi now, but still, it is a comic project raising 1mi dollars.

And now only 17 left!

I'm hoping to catch an increase on the Patience for a Signed Art Print myself.

[Vemynal]

oh wow, we hit 100 pages O_o

And I just talked my friend into buying the $10 pdfs and a patch for $4! =D

To quote Elan "I'm participating!" =D

$984,000.....we are sixteen grand away from a million. O.O

You might want to make sure he clicked the $15 "I'm Participating" pledge point, because he can't do $10 PDF + $4 patch.

I hope they picked the $15 pledge. Rich said that he didn't want any add-ons to the $10 pledges.

Edit: Geez Porthos! Watch the ninjaing! I almost ran into you there!

[Vemynal]

And like 3 grand of that has been in the last 15 minutes!

[Porthos]

Edit: Geez Porthos! Watch the ninjaing! I almost ran into you there!

Don't worry. I got a pretty decent Dodge Bonus.

=====

15 Patience signed books left. Ironically enuf, if people want one, they'd better not be... Patient about it.

*puts on sunglasses*

YEAAAAAHHHH.

ETA::: Now 13 12 11. They're going fast folks.

[honigmuffin]

Hoo boy, I'm off to wrestle with the spiral binding machine for an hour, and I come back and there's a new comic and an increase for one of the Patience pledges that's almost sold out again. We're on FIRE

[Tanuki Tales]

I have to say that what I truly enjoyed the most about this kickstarter was this thread and what I will coin as "The Ballad of the Rich Baker".

[Dragon Star]

We're down to around $350/hour needed to break 1000k.


I bet we can make it to 2000%. Mystery prize 9, here we come!

[Flame of Anor]

<slight tangent>
Well I've heard that Phil has ideas for a new Godot story. But he won't get to it until GG is all said and done. Just isn't enough time in the day to ink and draw TWO full page comics on a three-day-a-week schedule, apparently.

(Besides, coloring it would probably kill their colorist Cheyenne. And we can't have that. )
</slight tangent>

Wow, cool! More Buck Godot some time in the next few decades!

I can just see myself trying to explain our pets. "Yeah, we have three cats. Yes, three. No, one of them's dead, but if you could include his ghostly presence, that would be great. Oh, yeah, they're called Microsoft, RedHat and Cisco, if you're going to label them. Oh, Cisco is green. Yes, green. You know how some cats people say are blue? Well he's like that, except he's a green tabby. Wait, should we give you pictures of the cats for you to see? Hang on, here's Mikey, sorry if it's a bit blurry, it didn't occur to us to take many pics of him until afterwards. Cisco is here, the only one I could find is of him wearing sunglasses, but that shouldn't be a problem. Note the shade of green! And here's RedHat, she's the one sitting on the pumpkins. Yes, pumpkins. We were trying to train her to stop sitting on our cacti."

That's great. Among our cats is a pair of identical twins, and they're named "dx" and "dy" to differentiate them.

[Porthos]

Wow, cool! More Buck Godot some time in the next few decades!

Hopefully. I wouldn't count it as an Iron Clad guarantee, myself (from what I recall, it is still in the "cool idea for a story arc" stage - nothing may come of it when all is said and done). But it is absolutely something that I am looking forward too.

On Topic:

PLEDGE $70 OR MORE
47 BACKERS • Limited Reward (3 of 50 remaining)

So if people want one, still time to quickly grab it.

[MammonAzrael]

Just to make sure I've got the numbers down correctly -

I'm currently signed up for the $35 SSaDT reward. To ensure that I get all the goodies (minus the 8x10 picture sadly) I need to be pledging $45, 4 for the patch and 6 for the game expansion, correct? Am I missing anything?

[see]

$986,132 -- less than $14k away.

[Seonor]

Less than 14k now. Any bets on when it reaches the mil?

They also have one or two ideas for that series we cant mention on this board, they just want to wait till their kids grow up.
