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

[Mephit]

Is it possible to opt-out for rewards? I'm waiting for my paypal deposit to be processed so I can get the PDFs, but I'm not a fan of magnets (Greenhilt emblazoned or otherwise) and I don't want to add to Rich's shipping costs.

Edit: Thanks @V

You can. When the email asking for your address comes, just write "no magnet please" in the address line.

Of course, I'm also under the impression that Rich is working on something...new for a goal.

I have the impression it may be a couple of NEW things. Perhaps Ape Game related.

Can I hope and dream for a OOTS video game (and not flash unauthorized hacks)?

I gave Double Fine $15. But then I gave Rich another $60, so it's all good.

[MaximKat]

Oh noes! It seems that it'll take all the running pledging we can do, to keep in the same (top 5) place!

[ella ventic]

Counting down to 1000%! Should be any minute now. F5, F5, F5...


...There it is! 1:40 pm, break out the party hats! *toots noisemaker* Whoo!

Huzzah!

[Elder Tsofu]

Sigh, and here I thought that the drive might hit 200.000 with just a little luck and dedication. 1000%...

[rakkoon]

Virtual kick added.

For the good times in the past, present and future

BTW I assume the PDFs will at some point in the future go on the web for sale or free (maybe in six months or so) for future generations of ootsers? Just wait long enough to make the people who paid ten dollars feel like they got their money's worth by getting them early.

More than likely, Rich will print them, possibly as the much-requested "book K". It just won't happen with this kickstarter fund drive. Anyone that wants to read the stories will then have three options: find a friend that has them, buy the book, or be an {not-very-nice-person} and pirate them.

I believe Rich has stated that a print version of the Kickstarter PDFs, should one ever be made, would not be for sale until 2013 at the earliest.

Actually, it could be sold at precisely ten dollars.

$10 Kickstarter backers would then have the added benefit of getting a Roy magnet (and other backers whatever they pledged for + rewards).

Add to that the fact that we'll be receiving the PDFs in our mailboxes as soon as they are done (I think) while non backers will have to wait until the last PDF is done for the pack to be for sale, and I think that would be a pretty sweet setup for everyone involved.

I do however feel that $10 is just too cheap for the amount of PDFs...

It is highly unlikely that such a game could, would or even should come from this Kickstarter drive.

[Smolder]

Realistically, once one of us has the PDF, we can forward it to anyone we want. Trying to protect it from non-paying eyes is probably futile.

The point is that we get a big hand in deciding how many new stories we get and what the new material is about. And they get to read our stories and drool over opportunities they missed.

It sounds an awful lot like pirating though, if you don't remove your copy of the file after forwarding that is. Don't go ahead and prove Rich right in his fears even before the release of the .pdf.

So... are we all trying to make it to a million dollars here?

[WampaX]

Maybe . . .
or maybe the Giant should just team up with DoubleFine to create the Order of the Stick Adventure Game and watch Kickstarter implode.

That would be epic.

We've been averaging about 31000$ dollars a day. I'd say we won't break a million, but we'll get within $100'000 of it.

[CDP]

Woohoo! New update!

A new digital mystery prize for all backers (not just the $10+ crowd) and a goal for an expansion of the adventure game!

When $652,400 is hit, the adventure game will be added to the rewards!

This.

Absolutly this.

The universe is not ready for that level of greatness. Not by a long way.

Wonder what the deal with the white dragon is

Wonder what the deal with the white dragon is

I think it's an "off the edge of the map" thing what with the chart going far too high, "here there be Dragons" and all that.

Plus it seems more Ethereal than White to me, but that's just me.

I like how the chart is less of a chart these days & more of a full blown side quest.

[k_bukie]

Wooo, go for the Administrative Costs!

...I mean, Mystery Prize #6!

Also, OOTS Adventure Game Expansion!

[Manga Maniac]

We'll also put up copies of The Shortening and the combined Deluxe Edition on the pledge rewards if we reach that point, for those of you who have never played the game.

*flooded with tears* Why, wallet, why?!

[SaintRidley]

Looking forward to Mystery Prize #6.

Intrigued by the expansion to the adventure game.

I don't think Rich is concerned about piracy at all. After all, he's been giving away his work for free for years, and it has only served to promote him and grow his audience.

Case in point: I've read the entire archive, yet I'm still buying a complete set of books. Clearly, the fact that I got to read those comics for free did not reduce my appreciation of them.

[SweetBB]

Free and digital but not a story? We've already got wallpaper, so it can't be that. OOTS music? Dun dun dun!
