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

[Kobold-Bard]

...

If there's time, what I'd like is an extra option for $10 (AND NO LESS) where I ONLY get the .PDF and opt out of the magnet.

...

At the end of the drive you can opt out of being sent your magnet in the email to confirm postage addresses if you so choose.

[SaintRidley]

Hence my request: I only pledged $10, and I don't actually want any physical rewards - I'm only really interested in the 20-page .PDF O-Chul download (and possible subsequent downloads, but O-Chul is worth the $10). The way the pledge is set up I'm basically forcing Rich to spend monies on sending me a fridge magnet I don't want, when I'd rather it be spent on him being awesome, or rolling around in giant piles of cash if that's what he'd prefer. This especially because I'm an international customer and sending me things is more expensive.

If there's time, what I'd like is an extra option for $10 (AND NO LESS) where I ONLY get the .PDF and opt out of the magnet.

If this demand (I mean request) is fulfilled I may do something wildly extravagant like raise my pledge to $12 purely because of the warm feeling the attention will give me.

Shoot Rich a message on Kickstarter telling him you would like to waive your right to a magnet. You'll still get the PDF downloads and not have to worry about the magnet.

Weird Al reads Erfworld!

Wait, what? Was it on his Twitter or something? (I don't know if he has one...)

And if he reads Erfworld, does he read OotS? Is he on this very forum?!? Is he in this very thrad?!?!?


Will the real Weird Al please stand up!

Okay, thanks for the info. I'll calm down a bit now.

With respect, don't do this. He's asked people not to as his inbox is clogged up enough as it is, saying to wait until the drive is over (at least I believe, it's a long thread I could be misremembering).

Yeah, seconding this. Can this claim be substantiated?

[SaintRidley]

Well, Weird Al was one of the jury for the Logan Awards for Excellence in Comedy Music, which Rob Balder was the chair for last year.

So there's a link, but nothing I can find saying Mr. Yankovic reads the comic.

[ChuddleyFuttock]

Don't ask Rich. It will work just fine. "Pick any book" means exactly that. Let me worry about the stock levels, I don't expect to run out during this drive unless there is a sudden surge of 1000+ orders for SSADT on the last day.

From the big man himself. Cant ask for a more definitive answer than that

[McNum]

Well, this Kickstarter thing was enough to get me to finally stop lurking.

Anyway, just making sure I'm doing it right. I want the art package and Snips, Snails, and Dragon Tales. So I pledged $65. That's $25 for the art package, $30 for any book, and $10 for international shipping.

That should do it, right?

I've already made my pledge, but just read all the updates for the first time, and got to this part:

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Alternately, you could give him my contact info.

[SaintRidley]

That should indeed be right.

[Dr. Gamera]

From the Erfworld Kickstarter page:

Show

[ti'esar]

...How do we know that's not a Weird Al impersonator?

[McNum]

Excellent. This Kickstarter idea is pretty neat, and wow at the results the OOTS one is giving.

Thats exactly what I have pledged mate, wanting the same package of print and Snips book.

Or Howard Stern!

[The Glyphstone]

Or Howard Stern!

Wrong hair color, and his face isn't nearly drug-shriveled enough.

The Alpocalypse has begun! The Nerd Singularity is upon us!

[dakameleon]

Six hundred short of $750,000... that's a whole lotta comics o_O

[SweetBB]

$750,280!!! Over three quarters of a MILLION dollars!! WOOT!!!

[The Black Cat]

I wonder how realistic it is to set a goal to reach one million in 6 days....

[Seonor]

I wonder how realistic it is to set a goal to reach one million in 6 days....

The daily average is something like ~31k$, so even if that does not drop (and it will) we will only reach 930k$. What could give a little boost is that kickstarter sends out a mail to everyone who favorited (but did not yet pledge to) the campaign two days before it ends. I would say it is unlikely, but not impossible to reach the million.

[MoonCat]

The Giant needs to add a 10,000 dollar pledge. What for, I don't know. But it would be awesome!

[The Black Cat]

Double post somehow, sorry

[Mutant Sheep]

It'd have to be more impressive than a (named) cameo in OOTS, so unless it's Rich coming to hang with you, its not going to be that much of fantastical awesomeness.

Hour long Skype-chat with the Giant? My point is, he didn't think anyone would be doing the $5,000 bid. Why not see if anyone is crazy enough for a $10,000 pledge?

Well, unless he's legally obligated to answer the buyers insane questions, it'd kinda peeter out. Then it'd be all "So uhhh... Giant.... uhhhh... you still there?" 7 minutes into the chat. Then commence internet stalking.

He could DM a one shot campaign. People would probably pay for that.

[MaximKat]

I hope we'll get to $830+K which is required to stay in the 5th place even after the Double Fine thing is over...

I think that is nearly all but assured right now, myself.

I'm hoping for the $938k.
