Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Step one: Break down all the existing packages by contents and assign those quantities to each existing user (making note not to lose anyone's signed copies).
Step two: Update the Manage your Pledge page with checkboxes reflecting the existing quantities and allowing additional books and rewards to be added.
Step three: Profit.
It's really not as hard as it sounds. And for what Kickstarter will earn from this project, they could spend a year developing it.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Alas, if you allowed the description to change, then you have a situation where someone pledges an amount expecting one thing - but then the description changes and it is something else entirely (no, not something Rich would do - but others might).
Oh, sure, people could go in and change their pledge, too - but I'm sure some people would pledge and then sorta forget it. They would be the most affected by description changes.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Just switched to Swag Pack #1 myself because it lets me get the art print too.
My pledge is at $52 and holding... for now. The odds that I will feel the need to increase it yet again are high.
Personally, I'm rather of the opinion that we don't exactly deserve to be reading a comic of this quality for free on the internet. And yet we keep doing so.
If Rich wants to thank us in such an extremely extravagant manner, I'm not about to stop him. I'll likely throw some more of my money into my pledge periodically, but I'm not going to try and tell him that he's rewarding the backers too much.Last edited by CDP; 2012-02-06 at 09:54 PM.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
We're giving him lots and lots of cash to allow him to do a huge print run that he would otherwise not be able to do and would in turn make him more money and spread his work to people who might not know about him. In return we get awesome stuff. It's called mutualism. It is a form of symbiosis.
We're like bees spreading his pollen around to help the flowers grow and spread, and in turn we get nectar for our honey... or would it be the other way around?Last edited by MReav; 2012-02-07 at 10:08 AM.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
I'm pretty sure you have to add an extra $5 for an extra colouring book.
Just to note that:
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).Last edited by Terribad; 2012-02-06 at 10:54 PM.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Okay, so I sent a message to Rich because curiosity kept getting to me and I wanted to know if I could add a signed No Cure to my current package of signed books.
With a swift response from Rich and thinking long and hard, I decided to say screw it and plunk down the extra cash to add the book. Because A) full collection and B) my lady wants her own hit point pad, and this lets me get the $125 order supersizing. Hooray!

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Gah.
Still no T-shirts or other apparel.
Darn it Rich, I need a method to get the full set of books, take out SS&DT (since I already own it) and substitute in other things to knock me over 250 dollars.

Re: Question about fundraiser shwag
Can I piggyback another question on here? I currently lack War and XPs, Don't Split the Party, and Snips, Snails, and Dragon Tails. Is there any kickstart package that would include that set, or a close approximation thereof?
I'll definitely be kicking in something, since I want to see that O-Chul story.Time travels in divers paces with divers persons.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
And I keep upping my pledge since he insists on throwing free stuff at us above $250. I know this kills the "free" part of it, but I can't help myself.
But some more reward levels would probably be good for the momentum. And for any aspiring PhDs' in "Oots Kickstarter pledge reward levels".

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Rich is going to run into a new problem on Kickstarter very soon now. If you haven't noticed, each reward level must have its own dollar amount - no duplicates. And you can see where it looks like he wanted to do something the same as something else, but shifted it off by one or two dollars.
For example, there is a $24 reward, one for $25, and another for $26. I'm sure he'd have much rather just made them all $25, but Kickstarter doesn't offer/allow that.
So at any rate, it looks like a lot of the lower level $$ points are getting filled in with rewards. Soon, he won't be able to add more rewards, except at a much higher level.
...not that that is a bad thing...

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Oh - doesn't seem like anyone has noticed, or at least mentioned, but that isn't just a coloring book being offered. The cover mentions "and stuff to do".
What other goodies/surprises are lurking in that book?

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
I don't know, but I did add another 5 dollars (yes I am a cheap bastard) to my pledge to get a second one added to my rewards. I am very happy with my reward of the print only books, even though I would love to get the art-print as well, but I would not want to add another 10 dollar for shipping (more since I do not have a credit card :( )

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
There's a $262 (signed Up To The Split, i.e. you get one of everything with all books signed, except Don't Split The Party) open at the moment. Damn, I wish I had money to spend on this...

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
I've upped my pledge multiple times as this has gone on. I don't *think* that there is anything that could get me to increase it again at this point, but we'll see what tomorrow's update and Mystery #4 bring.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
It isn't as easy as you make it sound. The pledge amounts are only numbers and a descriptor in the database. The Kickstarter database doesn't know that $25 is an art print book or the $222 is seven books. Never mind that Rich hacked together his own workaround to make updateable pledges and even he doesn't know what every pledge means.
It also depends on how they set up their database; a change from one-to-one to one-to-many relationship can add another table and change the database design.
I do think Kickstarter should look toward making this an integral part of their pledging system. I think Rich had a really smart and innovative way of encouraging people to add onto their pledge and to follow the progress of the drive, instead of just firing and forgetting.
Technically, you're right, it's not a hard change when done at the beginning but with the pledge drive ongoing, I wouldn't mess with something that's working as intended and mostly fine.Last edited by Joran; 2012-02-07 at 02:47 AM.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Well upped my pledge by $5 for the extra colouring book. Hope there is nothing wlse I want to try and get cause the credit card won't take any more. Hope the exchange rate for the dollar doesn't change drasticlly either or I'll have to forget about the extra colouring book.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
I wish I could increase my pledge to get more pads and stickers, especially more stickers, but I don't want to give up my signed art print. I have added extra for a second coloring book. I hope a similar option will happen for stickers and HP pads.

Re: Question about fundraiser shwag
Close approximation: in Kickstarter, $78 for War and XPs and Don't Split the Party (includes shipping). Outside of Kickstarter, $21.95 plus shipping for Snips, Snails, and Dragon Tales from Ookoodook (click here).
I know it's more fun to order Snips, Snails, and Dragon Tales as part of the Kickstarter drive, but one advantage of doing it this way is that you get Snips, Snails, and Dragon Tales sooner, and it really is a great book.

Less than $22,000 until the supersize line.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Am I right that the cheapest available option that includes Snips, Snails, and Dragon Tales is the $67 one that has three books? :( I just need that one book....

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Snips isn't being reprinted, so it's technically the most scarce book atm. So unlike the others it can't be given an open pledge. Technically the cheapest one is the $24 pledge, since you can add a single book to that for $30, for a total of $54. Or the $25 one if you prefer the poster to two colouring books.
You could message Rich through Kickstarter to see if you can add a single copy by pledging $10 & then actually donating $40 (based on +$30/book)?Last edited by Kobold-Bard; 2012-02-07 at 12:05 PM.
