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

[Porthos]

I think we broke this site, too.
At least it took me several minutes to post this ^^

There's a reason why Rich was considering using some of the excess funds to help with the Forum Architecture here.

[Nimue]

I think besides the success of the project, Rich also has a bunch of new forumites...myself included. :) So...will Kickstarter become fixed enough so that Rich can give us our last update?

He just did :)

Congratulations, Rich!

[Yendor]

Ah, that final graph is awesome.

[Ast]

Ha, I knew it. He is just THAT kind of person.

Thanks Rich!

[Forbiddenwar]

And look at that the mystery gift? it was at 1.25 mil all along. Funny, how these eyes play tricks on you.

[Gullintanni]

Ha! He moved the line!

Thank you!

[Porthos]

(What, that Mystery Prize at $1,250,000? That was always there. I don't know what you're talking about.

Rich is AWESOME!

But you will have to wait a day or two before I tell you what it is.)

I'M ANTICIPATING!

[RMS Oceanic]

Rich engaged in a little Retconjuration there.

Well that was an engaging 31 days.

[Hamiltonz]

Update #28 is up on kickstar!

Rich, it's been one [heck] of a ride. I do not envy the work you have ahead of you. I hope everyone remembers to be patient.

That is a metric ton of swag headed our way. I for one am really looking forward to the Sticky Shticks!

Absolutely awesome.

Incredible.

:)

I've lurked on here for a long time, posting very infrequently - in fact I've doubled my postcount simply by asking questions in this thread.

And I just want to say, Giant

Thank You.

Thank you for every time I've come home to find a new comic to cheer me up. Thank you for all those enjoyable hours I've spent reading the archives instead of doing work. Thank you for every silly moment, every fantastic joke, every bit of clever wordplay, every pun that made me cringe.

Thank you for every bit of deadpan snark from Roy, every bit of unadulterated greed from Haley, every bit of boundless optimism from Elan, every bit of magical arrogance from Vaarsuvius, every bit of dour Dwarfishness from Durkon, every bit of amusing psychopathy from Belkar and every bit of incredible, mad, hilarious evil from Xykon.

And thank you for those rare moments when the group gets over their collective squabbles, or a character gets over their personal issues, and they prove that, despite the character flaws, the difficulties with alignment and their utter unsuitability for the job, the Order is a group of true heroes. Thank you for those awesome moments.

Thank you for every minute of time you have put into this labour of love of yours. Many times I have asked myself how one manages to do what you do, and I have never come up with a satisfactory answer. I simply can't understand how you do it - but I don't mind, because I know you will still do it, and in a few days I'll have another strip to read, and laugh at, and be amazed by.

Thank you.

Amen brother.

[DiMono]

I just got confirmation on my big pledge. Now waiting for confirmation on the small one.

Also, comments are working over there again.

Giant, if you're reading this, I just want to join the crowd and thank you for making such a wonderful, funny, and brilliantly written comic that we all enjoy and love. It was my absolute pleasure to contribute to the fundraiser. Incidentally, it is also why I finally decided the join the forum.

Also, thank you for being a kind and merciful Giant god and rewriting reality so that final line on the chart was always there at 1 million, 250 grand.

Because if we had never gotten to know what Mystery Prize #9 was, I honestly think it would've driven me mad.

[Crisis21]

I'M ANTICIPATING!

As am I. My pledge of a baker's gross ($169) for a "Patience for a Signed Art Print" has been collected and I'm tallying for all the extras I'm requesting.

I eagerly await the PDFs and other digital downloads to tide me over.

[Squark]

Awesome job, everyone. Especially you, Rich.


Also, I love how the bearded guard from On the Origins of the PC's is also lining up for a kick.

[Kobold-Bard]

[late]WOO! [/late]

With my payment through I am officially Backer #121.

It was an honour serving with you all, may we do it again some day.

[Duskranger]

Yes my prepaid credit card was accepted. I am (as soon as it is in) the proud owner of the print only books + all swag yeah.

Hear, hear.

[FafnerMorell]

Wow - I never thought a Kickstarter drive would be exciting, much less keep me hammering the F5 key for 2 days straight. Well done Giant, well done!

[Porthos]

Told ya not to worry.

[Skavensrule]

EDIT 2: It looks like somehow my total was off a little; I'll fix the chart.

We definately broke KickStarter. I have screenshots of the $80 pledge with 251 out of 250 backers at 1 minute before that fixed itself. And saved screenshots of the (at least) two different totals in the funding.

[Krosta]

I managed to pledge just a few hours before the end. And I'm happy that I finally did it.

[WeLoveFireballs]

If that goblin ninja was on a crutch with one leg missing it would be that much more hilarious.

[wxdruid]

Yes!!! So happy that this made it so far! My confirmation emails have come through. Now I'm waiting for the charges to completely make it through my bank. Then the patient wait for a ton of great stuff!

Thanks for so many great comics!!!

[LadyCygnet]

I am so glad that I got to be a part of this! I wish I had more money to pledge, but it was wonderful to see so many people kick in to help...and I've got some great swag that will make a wonderful birthday present for my daughter.

[Gullintanni]

Rich engaged in a little Retconjuration there.

Ahhh, it's nothing really. Author is a Tier 1 class.

[Manga Maniac]

Arg, one of the payments failed. I have enough money though, and the other pledge succeeded, so I'm hoping this matter can be solved quickly.

Life, however, has taught me to expect the worse.

[Vemynal]

Wooot! I'ma get both prequels, all 4 currently out books, a coloring book, a patch, stickers and all those PDF stories! =D
Considering I had never bought anything of Rich's until the Snips, Snails and Dragon Tails book I'm happy to say I now own everything =D

[Tanuki Tales]

I can't wait to get the survey so I can order my patches.

[FlawedParadigm]

Shouldn't my account be charged by now?
