Early estimates placed the total at $900,000 and change, and those seem to be on the money.

    To reach $1,000,000, there needs to be $150,000 donated within the next three days. That doesn't seem very likely, since that would be on par with the highest rate of gain seen during this fundraiser (around day 8 or 9).
    Oh, come on, what kind of attitude is that? If every backer increased their pledge by just $15 on the last day, we'd make it!

    ...Yeah, I know, it's probably not going to happen (and I want to go on the record as saying that if someone can't afford any more, they definitely shouldn't increase their pledge), but it is still at least possible. I'm going to be increasing my pledge on the last day. Come on, have some spirit!

    In case you didn't find it yet, here's some times:

    Belkar and Elan: 36:20 & 36:30
    Haley: 36:50
    Vaarsuvius: 38:50

    Yay, called it :P

    And it's a lot more figures than I expected. We usually have a good selection of minis from one of our players, but I still think I'll print these out and bring them to our sessions. Just need to figure out some way to hold them....

    No, they are not "for certain" accepted. I know mine wasn't, and it's a Visa card. A general Amazon Account would of course accept pre-paid cards and everything, but with an Amazon Payments account, it isn't certain.

    Seriously, I had a similar problem, so I asked around, I contacted Rich and Amazon Payments, and it turned out that this was the only solution. Good luck!
    Or better yet, e-mail some compete stranger claiming to be a Nigerian prince who needs access to their credit information to give them a million dollars!

    Having listened to the interview, I see his point about DMing. He could just write stories for DMs to run, not even have stats, and I would probably buy them.

    I don't think it's quite as simple as that though. I think a decent amount of the slowdowns on prior weekends was "lack of new stuff recently added". Having the patches drop today should help boost numbers during this weekend. Also, this past Sunday was pretty good as well.

    So I am still in the "fairly certain" camp when it comes to Top Three.

    I'm also in the camp of this being a big weekend. Maybe not "Game added to prizes" big, but close. I am optimistic at our chances to break 1 million.
    Just 152K to go!

    Looking at the graph, it seems we were at about $675,000 four days ago. We're now at about $850,000 — which means Rich raised $175,000 in four days. If the pace stays the same, or even if it drops off a bit, we should break a million. (The pace has been increasing for the last week.)

    (it all depends on what happens to the patch, plus if Rich has any last minute pledge options up his sleeve).
    In the most recent update, he says, "And don't think I'm letting this thing slow down just because we only have 4 days left. Holiday weekend or not, I've got plenty of last-minute surprises in store as we sprint to the finish."

    YAY FOR PATCHES.

    Anyways, it looks like the pledges are speeding up some as all the people weren't sure about pledging realize that they need to do so now.

    I think there's a mistake on the chart for update #22.

    There's no column for the $16 level, with the PDFs and the schticky schticks.

    Did something change when the patches were added?

    That was harsh by the Demon Roach.

    But the patch is neat. Unlike the colouring book I'll be getting one of them.

    Hello. Sorry if that has already been brought up, but I'm unable to find any definitive answer: Is it somehow possible to get in using only PayPal? (I found that Mephit talked about it as if he managed to, and I messaged him, but he hasn't yet replied.)

    I'd be really happy to be able to get the PDF stories, even for a higher price, but if I can't go into KickStarter... Do you reckon it would be possible to perhaps pay Rich directly for being included in the PDF mailing list?

    You have to use Kickstarter & Amazon. You cannot use Paypal. You say you can't use Kickstarter, why is that?

    You can message Rich about paying him directly but I feel that the answer will be sorry, but no.

    Not sure, but if you by a $10 (Or 20, if you're adding stuff) amazon gift card somewhere, that should work perfectly.

    Amazon Gift Cards WILL NOT WORK. As an experiment, I tried to apply a Gift Certificate to the Amazon Payments and couldn't figure out how to do so. I am 99% sure they are seperate things as far as Amazon is concerned.
