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

[SweetBB]

Hey it's real exciting over at the Kickstarter comments lately... we got Total Protonic Reversal, we defeated the SNARL; and we don't need to eat or sleep, just F5 mash all day!!!!! Woo hoo!

[turkishproverb]

it just occurred to me that the crayon drawing is ANY oots character, not just The order of the stick five.
And now I'm looking at the art print going How the hell am I going to decide?

Guy with a halberd and guy with a cape!

[Elfey]

Finally joined the drive. I gotta have those PDFs...

Is there some Kickstarter rule that's the reason he's beating around the bush with that description?

Here's the Kickstarter FAQ on this:

What can be offered as a reward?

Rewards are typically items produced by the project itself — a copy of the CD, a print from the show, a limited edition of the comic. Most projects also offer creative experiences: a visit to the set, naming a character after a backer, a personal phone call. Anything that brings backers into the creative process is a great approach.

There are some limitations on what can be offered as a reward. Investment and loan solicitations are forbidden, as are lotteries, raffles, sweepstakes, and coupons/discounts on future goods. See below for more.

What items are prohibited as rewards?

Prohibited items include:

• Financial incentives, returns, and repayment

• Raffles, lotteries, and sweepstakes

• Coupons, discounts, and gift certificates

• Alcohol, tobacco, and drugs

• Pornography

For a full list of prohibited items and activities, please review Amazon Payments' Acceptable Use Policy.

Edit: ah, it's expressly forbidden in the Amazon AUP:

Donations and Charitable Solicitations - includes charities and non-profit organizations without a valid 501(c)(3) tax exempt status, charitable solicitations, commercial fundraisers (including commercial co-venturers), or any activity associated with the solicitation of donations.

Only $6000 in the last hour. Slackers!

[MammonAzrael]

12 hours and...$241 an hour for 2000%

Yeeeah, I think we got that in the bag, with enough time left over to get high enough to ensure that even with credit card mishaps we'll be 2k% funded.

[Dragon Star]

$1000 to go...

WWtGwtHD? The only true way to decide.

[MammonAzrael]

2000%

[Crisis21]

Achievement Unlocked: 20 times the funding of mortal men!

[MaximKat]

Woo!

[EmperorSarda]

And it is still increasing. What wonders will be held in the next 12 hours?

Woo!

This is closer by 40:

So Rich got a natural 20 on his Fundraising roll?

[WampaX]

Seems appropriate time for more poetry.
Not my own, but works just as well.

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

[Skavensrule]

Yep, I go to bed and wake up just a little after we hit the %2000 goal. Go, OotS.

[turkishproverb]

Well, before the old white guy leaves, I better take this opportunity...

And we're off the chart. Again.

[dakameleon]

$1,160,488 at 12.03AM... now into the final day!

$8000 in the past hour - you people are truly insane!

(n.b. this is 4.03pm in Sydney, so we're going to miss the end here...)

[Absol197]

And we're off the chart. Again.

No not yet; the chart goes a little past 1160k. So, you know, another half hour or so.

[Shahadet]

Dumb question here, and at the 11th hour no less, but:

- Did Rich ever mention a way to purchase extra sticker sheets? I don't really need more than 1 Hit Point Pad or magnet, and I'm already snagging an extra coloring book for $5.

But what I really want a 2nd (or even 3rd!) copy of is the sticker sheet.

Any help on this?

Thanks!

You'll need to get either Swag Pack 1 ($32) for 2 sheets, or Swag Pack 2 ($55) for 5 sheets, or be pledging more than $125 in total.

Wow. I avoid this thread for a few days and WHAM! So many pages. I'm not even going to try to catch up.

In all the excitement, plus the fact that I ended up creating a second kickstarter account for extra rewards, I've ended up spending... most of the cash I got for my birthday at the beginning of the month. And everyone gave me cash because I told them there wasn't anything I really wanted. I probably should have left more of the gifted money for expenses like gas and stuff, being a poor college student and all.

Then again, I can just say all the rewards are late birthday presents from family members, and suddenly it's the best birthday ever! It's enough to make me consider going and upping my pledge again just because it now feels like I'm not doing enough.

[Squark]

Little under $3500/hr to hit 1.2 million. Interested to see how close we are when I wake up.

[Seonor]

Am I correct in my reading of the updates that my the whole Story (222$) reward also includes the art print since I pledged more than 250$ (shipping, patch,...)?

You are correct, Sir!

I'm pretty sure you don't. I could be wrong and Porthos could be right, though.

Yes... yes we do! :) I may have to wait a while to get it, but I'll get my signed book!

[Sethala]

Whee, got myself a signed book. Bit more expensive than what I planned on spending, but I get the art print too, so it works out. Think I'll have SSaDT signed, since that's the only non-reprinted book.
