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

[Balain]

What 9000!?

I think 9000 backers

Watch this, it may enlighten you.

Then read this.

[SweetBB]

Woo new goals to smash like a fudge ripple deprived thog.
We've gone into OOTs Overdose, with a strip nearly every day on the updates page and now a strip every day here.
I might need to get into OOTS rehab when this is over. The withdrawal is gonna be killer.

Oh yeah! But the overindulgence is sooooooooooo sweet!

[Porthos]

As of 4:30pm PST:

$713 per hour needed between now and the end of the drive to retake the #5 All Time spot on Kickstarter.
$1298 per hour needed between now and the end of the drive to take Spot #4
$1319 per hour needed between now and the end of the drive to take Spot #3
$1622 per hour needed between now and the end of the drive to reach 1 Million Dollars.

Each of those numbers have been dramatically slashed from earlier in the day (@ 10am it was 852/1416/1437/1737). Unless something dramatic happenes between now and next Tuesday, the million dollar level is out of reach. #3 and #4 are probably out of reach.

But retaking #5? Yeah, I'd say that's probably doable.

[SweetBB]

Over $700,000 raised, and counting!!

[thepsyker]

Hmm, do I want to upgrade from the NCftPB w/extra coloring book pledge level to the Really Big Box level w/ NCftPB and extra coloring book. The price is a pretty heavy jump and worse it would mean having to wait until June for my stuff to arrive instead of April.

[dakameleon]

Damn you Rich, you've suckered me in - whole package time!

*finds way to hide credit card statement from the wife*

[ZombieMaster]

It is really too bad that the game and the books won't go into one box. I was planning on upgrading my all-the-books to all-the-books-and-the-game, but two times international shipping on top of it drove me to the very edge of what I was willing to spend and my fiancee clearly over the edge of what she would allow me to spend. A pity, but I could have seen that coming...

How much did you spend on her engagement ring...?

That should shut her up ;-)

[fall_ark]

All of the Adventure Game reward packages are limited so that we can keep an eye on stock of the game; unlike the books, the game is printed by APE Games in China, so reprinting it takes a long time.

...

There are no "autographed" copies of the game available because the Deluxe Edition and The Shortening must ship from the Ookoodook warehouse in Houston, TX, which is not where I am. Sticky Shticks can still be added to an autographed package, though.

So even though I'm in China, if I want to order the game it has to first go to TX and then go back to China, incurring the $37 shipping cost....

[Manga Maniac]

And now I've bumped up the price for this expansion. Naturally, this means soon I will have to go and actually buy the game.

Still, worth it.

[Toper]

I'm concerned that Rich might die of work at this point. I keep kicking in more money anyway, though, because I think he deserves it as one of the very best graphic novelists in the field, and this is the first time he's really accepted donations with no strings attached.

Really, though, I'd be perfectly happy if the next reward were "Rich slows down and takes a breather at the end of the pledge drive for the good of the strip".

Now that would be a worthy goal!

[Shale]

Dammit, Rich! I thought I was all set with the whole story, but now it turns out that I'll somehow save money in the long run by upgrading to the board game, because I'm already giving you $250 (yay art print!) and it would only cost an extra forty-five bucks to add in the game, instead of $65 to buy it a la carte. But....money. And my car's not working.

Cuuuuuuuurse yoooooooouuuuuuuuu!

Exact same situation, save the fact that my car is working fine. Onwards! To nearly $300 pledged! There goes my entertainment budget for the next few months.

[wxdruid]

I've certainly pledged more than I intended, so I shouldn't buy jump rings for the next few months. On the other hand, I'm really waiting to get this nice package in the mail! It'll be great to open it up and go through it all.

[t209]

Noooo! Haley's dying!

[Gift Jeraff]

It'd be fun if the ending of the graph story depends on how much money is raised at the end.

[Krizak]

Curses, the Deluxe Edition ends up being too much to fit on a Visa gift card after I apply the "not living in the United States" penalty. I guess I'll just add $6 to get the mini-expansion, and get the rest of the game later on from Ookoodook.

[Tanuki Tales]

Just upped my pledge for the Story and Game bundle.

[Flame of Anor]

It'd be fun if the ending of the graph story depends on how much money is raised at the end.

$800,000 - Vaarsuvius doesn't die
$1,000,000 - Haley doesn't die

[Murray]

Aww yeah, a week of Windy Canyon & Semi-Elemental Plane of Ranch Dressing sounds good. Where're my buffalo wings!?!

Well ladies and gentlemen, we have once more gone off the charts. Awesome, no?

Rich does need to make bigger charts...

[PirateMonk]

I love this new mystery prize.

...I really need to read more carefully.

$800,000 - Vaarsuvius doesn't die
$1,000,000 - Haley doesn't die

I like this idea.

[SalSar_Thiran]

*Dusts off the old account*

Cough

Wow Has it been that long.

Well I am all in for the for the books and game. This drive has been amazing and I hope the giant is able to see just how much we all appreciate him and what he does.

Whoa, you only have five posts in the last five years. That's kind of cool...tell us about the past!

[Procyonpi]

Any guesses on the final total? I'm going for somewhere around 850K, although that might be a smidgen high. It sorta depends on what some of the future goals / rewards are.

[Flame of Anor]

HEY GUYS LISTEN

There's an Erfworld Kickstarter that just got going, so those of you with any money left (I know, not great timing on Rob's part) should go and contribute!

Cool, I'll make sure to support that...

in about two weeks, when I have money again...

Remember, you don't pay until the Kickstarter ends (29 days from now, I think).

[One Step Two]

Well, I made my previous post about chart breaking early in the morning and mistook the 680k for 660 due to being dangerously low on caffine. But now we have well and truly shattered the expectations of the given chart, and couldn't be more pleased. My next couple of months of budgeting will be razor thin thanks to the possibility of buying the Whole damn thing (ouch, says my wallet), but it's 1200% worth it. (which is a close approximation to the current total pledged amount compared to the original goal.)

Also, budgeting now for the Erfworld kickstarter.
