Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
500+ people have pledged for a non-autographed copy of War and XPs. And that's not even counting the people who are getting W&XP in other packages.
...
I think there was a bit of pentup demand for the book.Concluded: The Stick Awards II: Second Edition

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
This I can answer at least. It's just a minimum. You could theoretically pledge 541 dollars, then change it to 10231 dollars, and still keep the $10 reward if you really wanted. As long as your new pledge doesn't drop belowe the reward you picked, you'd be fine.
I did the exact same thing, and was panicking the whole time I was having to redo it. It must have been down to the two of us there or something, so sorry about beating you there. Hope you get the next one. :(

Food for thought: will this thread break the 50 page limit?

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Pledged $55 for a regular copy of War and XPs a couple of days ago, looking forwards to it as it's the only gap in my book collection. Not surprised about the numbre of pledgers who just want the book - over 500 now! If I'd just had an opportunity to buy it for $55 I'd have been happy anyway, so all these extra rewards are just bonuses - but excellent bonuses!
Slightly amazed at how this has taken off though, it is slightly hypnotic just sitting there and watching the counter go up.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Damn. I was in class when the update hit.
Still holding onto my War and XPs signed copy, at least.
Will have to see when this nears No Cure if a trio of No Cure, War, and Origin signed opens up. If not, I'll pop a message toward the Giant asking pretty please what to pledge for that and see if we can't come to a deal on it. I want all three, and if I can nab them signed, then I'm on it. But having one signed is higher priority to me than having them all.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
I'm so excited about this drive, and that it's going so amazingly well. I was considering buying Snips, Snails, and Dragon Tales over the weekend, so I'm delighted to be able to get it as part of this instead. Will be pledging once I get paid this month, though I'm not certain what exact level to pick yet. I'm sure I'll find something that suits me!
As a (very) old-time fan, I have other reasons to be happy this is going well. I remember the fateful problems around the first printing of Dungeon Crawlin' Fools, and how worried we fans were that GiantITP and OOTS wouldn't survive it. I was part of that very first pre-order group, and due to that damned printing company I never got my signed copy, just a regular one. Ah well.
Now I'm remembering the donation drive we had after that to get OOTS up to a regular three strips a week. Those were the days, my friends... *drifts off into a nostalgic haze* I hope this Kickstarter project helps everyone who didn't get a chance to buy the books like I did, through being later - though no less cherished! - arrivals to the OOTS fan community. I loved being able to accumulate the strips book-by-book as they were compiled - it was like my love for the comic had helped transform them from pictures on a screen into real, tangible books that would be there forever.
Rich, you're awesome, and what you're doing is awesome. I'm honoured to be a part of supporting it. Order of the Stick has been one of my favourite things to read for the past eight years (and remains so), and I've made some of the closest friends I've ever had through a mutual appreciation of your strip and gaming in general. OOTS is part of gaming history, and it's part of my history as well. With this drive I feel like I've been given an opportunity to contribute to that sense of history again, and make it fresh and new.
Thank you."It's only hubris if you fail, right?"

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
OOTS seems to already be one of the 64 most funded projects in KickStarter's history. Most of the really big numbers are design or technology. But, looking at arty stuff, the current most funded comic raised $109,301. $171,805 is the biggest game total which is sort of related to OOTS. Then there are five music, film or video results bigger then that- all over $200K. I wonder how close the OOTS reprint drive will get to each of those.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
I just added up all of the pledge points and the total is at least 920 copies of W&XP pledged. I say "at least" because some of them have options for additional copies.
Yeah. Def a bit of pent up demand, I think.
ETA: I see the "W&XP" only option has dipped under 500 for now as people are adjusting their pledges to take the new combo options availiable. To be expected, I think.
It'll get back over the 500 mark soon enuf.Last edited by Porthos; 2012-01-24 at 05:44 PM.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Is this printing just the right number for those who order or are is the Giant printing excess? The reason I ask is because I hope this is able to stock Ookoodook.
I eventually hope to own all the books but my first priority is to get the print only books, therefore I will pledge to get the print only special. I would like to get the Mix N Match Special (and then buy SoD and the rest from Ookoodook), but that makes the postage jump from $7 to $22.
So I guess what I am trying to say is I hope to buy the Print only's at the pledge then the rest of the books all at once at a later date; is this wise?

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Not that my opinion means much of anything, but I have a couple ideas as to things that I'd be willing to pledge for a limited reward:
- Future signed Compilation Book 5 - I'm not sure if this is too far out to offer at this time, but I'd likely be getting the compilation book when it comes out anyway, and signed would be neat.
- An OOTS character drawn up in Rich's "realistic style" (like the one-shots of Julio Scoundrel in Snips) - Of course, you're already signing like 120 or so books and making 50 crayon drawings on top of that, and I'm not sure how long something like this would take. But I think it'd be neat.
- An signed original print of one comic, for framing purposes - I'm not sure if this is even possible, but some of the splashes, especially, lend themselves well to the possibility of framing.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
What I mean about "bots" is that at least some resellers will tie their prices to what other resellers are charging via an automatic program.
This can sometimes lead to interesting results.Last edited by Porthos; 2012-01-24 at 05:47 PM.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
We're hitting a full-size print run of Origin and War, which means thousands of each. Those will be in stock on Ookoodook. Once numbers for No Cure come in, I have a feeling we'll smash past that goal and have a full print run of that.
After that, the next goal would probably be Don't Split the Party, which will be the last of the compilations left out of stock.
Full print runs should make the books available for a good amount of time, so you will probably be safe with the print-only special. Of course, I may be wrong and the Giant would be the one to know all details and correct me.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
I would guess that there are also a fair number of people like me, who don't think normally about buying the books, but the fun and excitement of this has sucked us in. I was really excited about giving some to get the digital bonus stories, and have now managed to talk myself into upgrading my pledge multiple times until I've reached the $68 level.
I've been a weekly reader for years, but have never signed up for the forums or interacted in any way. But like so many others, I've been completely enchanted watching the total climb over the last couple of days.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
AAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWW YYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
Confirmation that I'm getting War, Don't & Snips all signed, thus completing my collection.
And to think I didn't even want the other books, I just went to pledge the $10 for O'Chul's story and a magnet. Damn the power of limited quantity offers, I've spent two & a half days wages on this thing.Piratebold-Bard by Elder Tsofu | Backer #121 of the Giantitp Kickstarter | My homebrew

I missed the opportunity to get a cheap, signed OoTS book. Oh well. I'm really looking forward to the Mystery Prize. Think we'll reach it?

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Well, I've been wanting to get the OotS books in print form for a little while now, and I've been bugging my FLGS owner about if/when he can get them in. I haven't been looking at WaXPs at all, since I planned to get them "in order", but now that this drive showed up with extra bonuses and whatnot, I got a bit caught up in the excitement for getting the books. Didn't order any of the really big packages, though - not enough money, sadly.
