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

[Lappy9001]

I've always wanted to own a full collection of OOTS, so yay

This sounds like a great way to get everyone's favorite web comic back into the hands of readers!

[WampaX]

(And thanks for helping out, Wampa! )

No Problem.
You know I've got your back whenever I can help out.

And kudos to the other 1427.432788235926 backers (rough calculation of the final backer count based on average per backer).

[merrygoblin]

While I can't pledge at least until the end of the month, I hope to be able to pledge something (if only $10 for the magnet and O'Chul PDF) before the end of the drive.

If I can, I want to give $55 for a copy of War and XPs, which is the only one of the current books that I don't have - but I'll have to see if the money allows it before the end of the pledge drive or if I have to wait and order one later through Ookoodook...

Still, as I type this I see we're only about $1000 off hitting the first target to get WaXPs back in print!

[Eerie]

Seeing how 3 1250 pledges were sold, but 5000 is still not, I suppose the price for the cameo walk-in should have been 2500...

Hey, there's 28 days to go...

[Wonton]

Only $500 left! This is so exciting!

I pledged $10.

[Firemeier]

$200 to go. This is more exciting than the new year's countdown

[Balain]

I had a thought for a possible reward for something like $20 donation. You get a custom rank in the forums. and then say a limited amount of $50 you get to pick your rank title (pending approval of course).

I'd love to spend more, but being out of work right now can't. I'm doing the $10 for sure, but I could manage $20 and a new rank on the forum would be cool, or maybe $50 for my own made up rank.

Just saw the goal was reached! Cool

[MurkyMajare]

Grats on breaking the first goal

[Ted The Bug]

Ok, we are less than $100 away. Reloading the page incessantly.

Edit: and the second I posted, we passed it! Great job everyone!!

[fishboy]

Aaaannnddd there we have it ladies and gentlemen

[Eerie]

We did it!

PS. Ninja'd by a fish.

[Procyonpi]

...AND WE'RE FUNDED!

War and XP is coming back to print, woot!

[Porthos]

And at 2:10 pm PST we have Unlocked Achievement (Minimum Press Run [War and XPs]).

[Blas_de_Lezo]

$57,960

It's done! First goal it's done in 2 days!

[ZombieMaster]

Goal reached! Awesome.

28 days to go. Reckon we can reach the $200,000 uber goal? :-)

[WampaX]

Just to give some fun numbers.

About 30 hours to raise $57,750.

That's $1925 an hour
about $32.083 a minute
about $0.53 a second

If this were a job (40 hour work week), it would pay (before taxes and deferrals)
$77,000 a week
$4,004,000 a year

[Porthos]

Next Stop: $76,450 for a Full Size Print Run of W&XP.

C'mon folks, we can do it!

[The Giant]

Just wanted to let you guys know that we crossed the funding threshold a minute or two ago (5:10 pm Eastern US time).

So this thing is happening.

EDIT: Geez, ninja'd by everyone ever. Guess that's what I get for getting distracted by answering emails.

[k_bukie]

So, Giant, it looks like you met your one day goal of $57,750 for the book reprinting.

Wait, month?

[CoffeeIncluded]

Just wanted to let you guys know that we crossed the funding threshold a minute or two ago (5:15 pm Eastern US time).

YIPPIE! Magnets and O-Chul for everyone!

Are you still keeping the funding open for the next month?

[Procyonpi]

YIPPIE! Magnets and O-Chul for everyone!

Are you still keeping the funding open for the next month?

I'd assume so, giving that he saves costs with a larger print run, as well as by printing OtOotPCs at the same time.

Besides which, I want mah No Cure for Paladin Blues!

[Blas_de_Lezo]

So we go for the second goal?

One question Giant, are the shipping taxes to Europe also $10 for just the Roy magnet?

[Kobold-Bard]

YIPPIE! Magnets and O-Chul for everyone!

Are you still keeping the funding open for the next month?

It stay open by default until the closing date. We're now aiming for a full into-stores rerun of War & XPs.

And don't forget about the three bonus stories everyone's getting too.

[k_bukie]

YIPPIE! Magnets and O-Chul for everyone!

Are you still keeping the funding open for the next month?

He updated the drive with subsequent goals here.

The next goal is $76,450 for a full reprint of War and XPs.

[Eerie]

YIPPIE! Magnets and O-Chul and three stories for everyone!

Fixed that for you.

[The Giant]

One question Giant, are the shipping taxes to Europe also $10 for just the Roy magnet?

No, if you're getting just the magnet, you don't need to add anything for international shipping. They're being sent First Class mail, which means in an envelope with a stamp, so the cost difference between US and overseas is under a dollar. We're just eating that difference to make it easier for everyone.

(Caveat: First Class mail is not fast. People who order a book and a magnet will almost certainly get it before the people who order just a magnet, even if the magnet packages hit the mail first.)

Are you still keeping the funding open for the next month?

Yes! As linked to before, we have many goals left to reach, and the pledge drive stays open until February 21 no matter what.

[andrechan]

Can we know in advance what the 3 bonus comics are? (when the three generous people have decided it)
If the characters chosen are interesting, I think more people will participate in the pledge.

And He deserves every penny of it!

The Giant ain't worth 4 million, he's priceless

[Renegade Paladin]

Threw in my $10. Would have been more, but I already have all the books, and car accidents are what they are (i.e. expensive), so I decided to go with O-chul's backstory. Congratulations on the drive's success.
