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

[CoffeeIncluded]

Ha-HA! 25,000 to go!

[Smolder]

When the Stick It To My Family reward came up, I started desperately texting one of my friends: "This would be perfect for you, your family is funny-looking already! Tons for Rich to work with!"

Cats!!

Hmm, the Giant hasn't alluded to #8 in any way afaik. My guess is… maybe a second art print, done in the crayon style? Hmm, would be cool, but idk.

Maybe he's waiting until we crack the Million, and then he immediately posts about #7.5 and #8 (if #7.5 is a thing).

[Dragon Star]

Maybe it'll be TWO new OotS every day for another week. That would be awesome. And would also likely kill him.

Still...

Oh, yeaaaah. I'd forgotten about 7.5. I think thatas an incentive, he doesn't need to do it anymore, since, you know, we passed it. So he may just want to conserve on his ideas, as he did say he hadn't even thought of it yet yesterday.

It's been 24 hours since his last update, right?

Hmm. What happens when you set piles of wax on fire?

[Darwyn]

Wow. I wonder how the Giant's feeling right now. I mean, the million dollar goal is all but assured at this point.

Well I've heard that Phil has ideas for a new Godot story. But he won't get to it until GG is all said and done. Just isn't enough time in the day to ink and draw TWO full page comics on a three-day-a-week schedule, apparently.

(Besides, coloring it would probably kill their colorist Cheyenne. And we can't have that. )
</slight tangent>

Cool! Something to look forward to when GG eventually ends.

re: Mystery Prize #7.5 happening, from the Comments Section:

Rich Burlew about 4 hours ago
@David: High. But since I won't get to announce it until after I've finished the comic and the next chart update, we already may be way past where it would be and closing on the big prize. At which point it will become Mystery Prize #8.5. After all, there will be some declined credit cards and other problems, so we need to make sure we have enough cushion after the $1M mark so that we can STAY at the $1M mark!

[MoonCat]

One more hour and it'll have been a day since he updated. Let's see how high we can go by then!

Unfortunately, he lost his ability to have feelings after his email inbox opened up an eldritch portal while he slept and devoured his soul.

Really? Oh well, as long as he can finish writing OotS.....I mean, you don't need your soul for something like that, right?

[Totally Guy]

Just pledged for the Snips and Snails deal. The one I ordered got lost in the post. (Most annoyingly it arrived safe in the UK with another playgrounder to a save on shipping but lost on it way to me. Can't hold Rich liable for that...)

[Dragon Star]

$1500 in the past 20 min. This is insane.
Edit: and when I refresh a second later, it went up
by $700.

"Remind me" folks are probably starting to come in.

[DabblerWizard]

After the drive is over, it would be awesome if someone made an in-motion graph of the pledge funds over time.

Alas, I lack the skill myself.

[YohanLeafheart]

May I have a moment of ego trip saying that I was pledging before it was cool? I'm pledger number 97 :D I don't think I will sleep soon, refreshing the page non-stop. Also I'm excited to see what Kickstarter will post on their blog once we crack the million mark.

[wxdruid]

Question - How do I find out which pledger number I am?

What I did was go to the list of pledgers and count :D

I think you had to note the number of backers right after you finished pledging.

No idea what mine is.

Edit: Ninja'd. And that sounds like more work that I'm willing to go through at this point.

[YohanLeafheart]

979,071 now.... Dammit. Today is my 3 year celebration with my fianceé, I will miss it crossing the million mark =(

Tut, tut.

Ooh cool I found myself on the third page. Neat!

[wxdruid]

Counting from the start up says I'm pledger number 125. I joined and first pledged on 22 Jan 2012.

[Evil_Lamp_6]

< 20k left to go!

[TinyMushroom]

I think we're going to make it to 1M!

edit: 5K in an hour?!!!

[Seerow]

Do we know yet who the three characters for the bonus PDFs were? I haven't seen anything, but I would have thought that they'd have made their choice by now.

Mentions were made that amongst those given to Rich as options were Therkla, the Cliffport PD and the Demon Cockroaches.

[The Underlord]

I doubled my pledge to get the print only special.

[Tanuki Tales]

I wonder if page 100 will resurrect and/or summon the Rich Baker.
