Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
It is all about TRUST. Plus, consider this: Suppose he did reprint SS&DT (for whatever number of reasons). Now, the next time he needs to print something limited, conditioned on pre-orders, there will certainly be some people that will just figure "...I don't need it yet, it'll be reprinted someday..." thus cutting down on the needed pre-ordering.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Went for the $67 print-only special. And I'm predicting that we'll hit at least $500,000 by the end of the month. (I may upgrade to the $222 complete story special, if circumstances are willing).
Next reward: live action short! Or special OotS dice or chess pieces. Chess-piece Roy would be awesome.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
^ THIS. Dice (or chess pieces, love the idea!) would be perfect, and I might even pledge for some extra sets to give as gifts.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Personally, I'm curious about what might happen if he actually runs out of copies of SS&DT. I know he said he had enough, but that was back when the pledge was around 120-150k, and I'm not sure if he really planned on the pledges spiking up so dramatically. I know he said he doesn't want to reprint it, but if he promises more copies than he actually has, I don't think he'll really get a choice.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Chess pieces? That, that, that is beautiful... Question is, who would it be? My suggestions:
Team Evil:
Pawns => Goblins
Rooks => Hobgoblins
Knights => Giant Mammoth
King => Xykon
Queen => Tsukiko
Bishops => Redcloak and MitD
I know that power wise Redcloak should be the queen, but I find it a bit strange...
OotS:
Pawns: Sapphire Guard
King => Roy
Queen => Halley
Bishops => V and Durkon
Knight => Elan on horse and Belkar on Winner dog?
Rooks => No idea
Either that or we would use Elan and Belkar for rooks, and Hinjo and Lien as the Knights. But we would also need a set for the linear guild of course. Another option would be have a set exclusive of the Sapphire Guard. But them we would need to think who to add on the OotS team
Linear Guild:
Pawns: A family of kobolds
King: Nale
Queen: Sabine
Bishops: Malaki and Hylga
Knights: Zzz-drizzzt and Pompey
Hooks: Togg and Tarkin
I mixed some of the new members here with the old ones

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
He could just limit the SS&DT copies that can go out as rewards (given in order of pledge number, so early pledgers get preference).
That would be preferable to printing extra copies since, as others have said, it was originally a one-time printing and it wouldn't seem fair to do a second printing

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Also, at $392k, we've officially gone off the chart.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
An OOTs-themed short D and D adventure as a bonus prize?
The gamers would like it, but lots of us don't actually play, so I don't know; same for dice in that regard; as noted the notepad has uses even for non-gamers.When in deadly danger, when beset by doubt,

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
That would mean even more drawing, and he's already committed himself to 7 bonus multi-strip comics (probably 80+ pages worth), as well as 65 one-page crayon sketches, stickers, etc. It's already a lot of work.
Given that he's waiting on an estimate from a printer, I think there's a very good chance the next reward line will be a physical printed book of all the bonus strips (when you add the 80+ pages already committed along with all the kickstarter graphs and updates etc, it's easily as big as OTOOPC's).
Bonus - it would presumably only go out to pledges of a high enough level to cover its printing cost, so a LOT of the $10 backers would have to increase their pledge to get it, resulting in a sudden massive boost to the pledge total. Lets say you needed to pledge $30 to get the book, and only 500 $10 pledgers decided they wanted it - their extra $20 each means another $10,000 added to the total immediately).

So...anyone else noticed that we're averaging one update per day? Going on our 12th chart.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
I do not think it that likely. Rich does not know how long those stories are going to be, nor if they will be in colour or not. You cannot schedule a printing for a book "somewhere between 60 and 100 pages, some in blue, some in sepia, some in B&W, some in colour" and get an estimate of the cost.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
The Team Evil set is good. The good-guys set needs rearranging, though, like thus:
Hinjo and Lien should definitely be the knights, since they're mounted. Roy and Haley as king and queen makes sense, as they're the first and second in command of the Order (and Haley is female). Since Vaarsuvius and Durkon are the Tier 1s in the group, they should be the most powerful other characters--the rooks. That leaves Elan as queen-side bishop (next to Haley), and Belkar as king-side bishop (next to Roy). See how nicely that works out?

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Almost right: Elan must be the King-side Bishop (with his best buddy Roy, if rationalisation is required) since that is the white bishop, while Belkar is definitely always-black bishop, and standing with Haley as he did during the Split party times. I am of course assuming the Good team is the white pieces.

APE just revealed in the comments thread:

I should say, though, that instead of getting the OOTS game from Ookoodook right now, you might wait a bit as we're looking at some package that might make sense on this Kickstarter. There are some things we need to work through, though, so there's some chance the game won't show up here, too.When in deadly danger, when beset by doubt,

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
It looks like the Kickstarter site is starting to have server problems from all the traffic. Just got a server error when trying to load a page. It worked when I refreshed, though.

Yeah, pretty much this. Sort of a frustum of a cone, with the umbrella at the top, and the eyes just on the front.
