    Rich has confirmed, I believe it's buried somewhere in one of the comment threads for the Updates, that shipping counts toward the $250 goal.

    Basically, if you pledge $250 and the print would be sent in a package whose contents won't ruin it, you get one.

    Can't say I really want to waste 15 minutes searching for it, though.

    Going back to Update #14, the Super Size rules stated by Rich said the following:
    some rewards will get super-sized as well! Every pledge that goes over the $125 mark (including any shipping surcharge) will get TWO sheets of stickers and TWO notepads, while every pledge that goes over the $250 mark (again, including shipping surcharge) will get TWO coloring books for no additional charge (and can still add a third one for $5)
    (emphasis mine) and that matches up with the MitD Reward Chart.

    So if you're international & you get the $222 pack, you get the art print :)

    Yep. It's the total pledged, not the reward taken that determines extras. As long as it fits in the box that is.

    That part really kind of freaked me out. Who knows how close he may have gotten to calling it quits, just because he didn't know how much we love him?

    Probably going to regret this, but I upgraded from the $25 dollar pledge to one of the $70 Patience for a Signed Book ones... which basically works out to buying a signed book for $45.

    Should be fun getting it in the mail once I've totally forgotten about it, though. And I have the PDFs to keep me happy in the meantime.

    Sorry if I keep asking questions that have obvious answers, but does the 15$ pledge (which includes the magnet and the commemorative patch) require a 7$ international shipping fee or a $10 one? I'm living in the UK, if that makes a difference.

    EDIT: Will this pledge also include all the digital downloads, or just HtPGhS?

    Every pledge level of $10 or more gets all the digital stuff.

    No shipping fee for you on the $15 goal.

    I got the $70 package as well. Does anyone know for sure if it comes with the coloring book, notepad, and stickers? The package description doesn't mention anything, even though the other Patience packages explicitly mention getting the other stuff/goodies.

    I just thought of something, this drive has almost certainly created a bunch of new readers or readers that never joined the forums before. As such many of the new people may not realize that speculating on the timeline of the promised "extra week/s of strips" is against the rules here. I know many people never bother to read rules before starting to post. Is it possible for the Mods/Admins to private message new members in mass to remind them of this?

    It's a book pledge, therefore it gets the goodies in the aforementioned chart I linked to.

    So, yes, you get them.

    Thanks! That package was added after the reward chart, so I wasn't sure it applied. (For example, it includes the art print, which contradicts the chart). But I'm sure you're right.

    Text Trumps Chart. In your case you're getting an Art Print as part of the $70 pledge. If Rich was going to show a chart that had each and every possible combination, he'd never get done making it.

    It's a concern, but there's not much we can do. The end of these things tends to bring in a surge of impulse buyers who realise its their last chance, we can just hope this is what's doing it.

    I got the patience for a signed book wanting to get SSaDT. Now I am wondering if there will be any left by the time the patience packages get to pick. There are about 3600 copies being sent out as part of a package, and 3000+ that could be added to other packages. Should I change packages to make sure I get one?

    Well, after several years reading, and collecting the books, I finally signed up for the forum for this.

    Think the guy before who commented this pledge drive is like a game is spot on. An interactive online one with comics, competition and gambling. Too bloody addictive by half.

    I know that if the card I hadn't been forced to use was one of those currency cards that need you to top them up and wait for funds to come over, I know I would now be about £50 over my overdraft limit and eating beans for a week or two. That crayon drawing was soooo tempting.

    Was lucky enough to snag the patience for a signed print reward. Then, literally two minutes after I signed up for this forum, I noticed there was an open reward on the original art print one.

    So for an extra $1 I can avoid waiting to see what comes first, my package; or the end of the world!

    Anyway. Big gratz to rich for dinging a million, and I sure hope kickstarter's servers recover from the DDOSing we have been subjecting them to.

    Update! And the final Mystery Prize is set at $1,260,000.

    I have to admit, I don't think we can get this one. It requires more than $10,000/h. He'll need some pretty epic packages to bridge this gap.

    Awww craaaaap.

    Why'd he have to go add another Mystery Prize! I really can't see us making that, it's $10,777/h to reach it. My completionist side screams in rage, and I can't even do anything about it (no, I really can't, between this and the other pledge drives I'm backing my bank account is crying itself to sleep).

    Will our adventure end on a note of failure?

    Well, finally worked out my pledge. 14,227. Not a huge pledge, but what I could afford out of what was left.

    On the upside, I'm getting a patch, Sticky Schticks, and Origin in addition to the stuff that comes free with a book pledge.
