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

[Flame of Anor]

...once again, things are more awesome when Flame says them, because you hear them in gandalf-voice.

Well, hrmph, I'm honored, young hobbit.

[turkishproverb]

I be a dwarf you daft fool!

No more PDF's? Aww I was at least hoping that if we broke into the top ten we would get all the charts as a pdf.

[Gwynfrid]

This is awesome! Also, I'm probably going to up my pledge just for all the content I'm getting. The Giant could be selling it all as another SSDT for how large it's grown, but instead he's giving it to us for a mere ten dollars. Awesome! So yeah. This drive is ruining my frugal nature too.

Also, I'm dying for the next update. I wanna see what the Belkster has to say about all this.

I feel the same way, it's just ridiculous how many pages Rich is going to give everyone for $10! Of course I could consider this is paid for by the generosity of other backers, particularly those at the $1250 level. But since I can afford to pay for my own, I think I just ought to. It's just so weird to find out something you buy is way too cheap...

What do you mean? The latest prize is a PDF.

[Alagaesian]

I want to pledge to this kickstarter so badly but I can't afford it until my paycheck goes through...

When the total was at 40k, I thought the money was coming in at light speed. Even though the past day has seen faster growth that that, I didn't realize exactly how fast it was. What's 50k compared to 300k, am I right? Then, I saw the near-vertical line on today's graph. I think my mind is purposefully going through a block to prevent me from believing it. If I truly comprehended it, I'm pretty sure my brain would explode.

[Advance Strat..]

I love how the latest edition to the graph looks VERTICAL.

It's awesome.


@MoonCat: Sir Francois is going to be the last pdf mystery prize is what he meant. No mystery prizes after this will be of pdf nature, just because there's getting to be so many.

[Connington]

Huh, SoD is going to cost more than we thought it would. Of course, that just means a few hours of delay, but still.

Alas, things are probably going to slow down again, despite the update title. Hopefully we'll at least a merchandise prize. And it'd be pretty awesome if we cracked 400k.

[Vahhn]

I don't have money to pledge (i can't bring myself to pledge only ten dollars...!) but with the addition of this pdf... i did not read SoD, OoPCs, SSaDT but now it is impossible to resist. I shall buy the print only package.

[Savannah]

There's absolutely no shame in $10. Don't pledge more than you can afford; awesome as OotS is, it's not something you should have financial difficulties over.

[MoonCat]

I totally didn't realize that meant no more. Aww, that is too bad. Oh well! I just hope that means he'll add more cheap options for merch, since I love to pay more for awesome stuff.

[ti'esar]

I can see where he or she is coming from - getting seven stories for ten dollars is starting to feel like robbery.

[ORione]

It's getting faster. This is crazy, and I'm proud to be a part of it.

[Vahhn]

Don't worry hehe, i will just have to switch around some of the money i was going to spend on miscellaneous things in february to buy these (not going to do any shady business ) these pdf's are worth much more then 10 dollars, i just needed a nudge to buy the print books. But i have to wait 10 days or so to pledge.

The reason i can't pledge only 10 dollars is because i would be kicking myself in the future when i decide to buy the books anyway.

[Advance Strat..]

Hey guys? I think we're breaking the kickstarter site.

[Porthos]

Keith Baker tweeted about the drive earlier today.

[DougTheHead]

Amazon doesn't take the money out of your account until Feb. 21. As long as you have 10 bucks in your account by that date you'll be fine. There's no need to wait before pledging, as long as you're sure you can make the amount by the 21st!

[Andious]

SEVEN comics?!?

SEVEN comics?!? Seriously?!?

Actually, no, let's count the graphs as a comic too, there's definitely a story going on in there now.

EIGHT comics?!?

We're getting EIGHT comics now?!?

Starting to think I should give up hoping for the idea I keep hoping for.

... no, seriously, that's a question I'm asking here: Mr. Burlew, should I assume at this point you probably won't be offering a short maybe one-page comic of a background character as a possible reward at some point?

Because you're, um, you're kinda being, far more generous than I think anyone would ever dream of asking here...

... seriously, EIGHT comics?!?

[Grey_Wolf_c]

Hey guys? I think we're breaking the kickstarter site.

Good. Maybe then they'll be forced to acknowledge the behemoth in the room and plug Rich in their front page.

We're already pretty spoiled by all the PDF rewards we get, even for a $10 pledge, but I also see that there are going to be 65 people getting an original crayon drawing with any 2 characters they choose "comically interacting" as part of their reward (those are sold out, damnit).

Can I just ask, on behalf of the 4700+ of us who didn't get that reward, that those of you who get this reward please scan and upload their picture. It would be great if we could compile a PDF of all 65 of them...

[Chess435]

$329k and counting!

[Sharoth]

I vote to add Snips, Snails, and Dragon Tails to the reprint drive. The book was so good that it needs to be reprinted so everyone can get access to it. I do not mind it being reprinted even though I own a copy.

I be a dwarf you daft fool!

Amen to that! I would LOVE to see all the drawings that Rich will do.

[MoonCat]

I can see where he or she is coming from - getting seven stories for ten dollars is starting to feel like robbery.

He's writing the stories anyway, so the only difference if whether he'll have your ten dollar or not.

Also, I can't believe my eyes. Is it speeding up?

[Sharoth]

Rich,

I vote to add Snips, Snails, and Dragon Tails to the reprint drive. The book was so good that it needs to be reprinted so everyone can get access to it. I do not mind it being reprinted even though I own a copy.

Also, as someone said, we would all love to see scans of the pictures that you are going to draw for the contributors. ~grins~ Hey, it can't hurt to ask.

And last but not least, can we also have the OotS Kickstarter graphs added to the final PDF batch?

Thanks for answering these questions / requests Rich. Yes or No, we all appreciate what you are doing for us. Keep up the good work.

Thanks,
Sharoth

Ok, you win an internet. And a cookie.

[Squark]

I participated!

I hope you don't mind me stealing your avatar idea.Mine could use an update.

[Flame of Anor]

Ok, you win an internet. And a cookie.

Thanks! Have a firework!

Ah, but if they feel bad about it, they may up their pledge, as I did, and then we all win.
