Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
Not to drag up the stuff that Roland so wisely squashed, but I just wanted to mention that I decided to use Kickstarter precisely BECAUSE we had problems last year. I was worried about not raising enough to reprint even the first book, and if I didn't meet the original goal, it would be easier to cancel the KS drive than it would be to refund everyone.
And for the record, the vendor that had bailed was the credit card processing company. They held on to everyone's money for six months, claiming that we couldn't have any of it until we had delivered the books...but we needed the money to print the books. We had to secure outside loans in order to get it done at all, and we couldn't say anything for fear of them holding our money indefinitely. (This was also a point in KS's favor, since they expect you to get the money before the product is ready.) But everyone got their book, so I have no idea why anyone would still be that angry about it a year later.
---------------------
Anyway, the surveys are going out well ahead of the books. The money won't even hit my bank account until the middle of March, and I can't even start the reprinting process until then. The only thing I've ordered are the magnets, which I could pay for from my savings. They should be shipped from the manufacturer on March 6, arriving in Houston a few days later, and then the magnet-only packages should start mailing right after that.Rich Burlew

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
I think I filled my survey in and submitted it correctly- but how do I tell for sure? Does it email later confirming the survey's been submitted properly?

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
Alas, I still go to university, so that's also not an option for me.
(Asking for ideas and then having to rebuke every one so far? Yeah, sorry. I feel a bit sheepish by now. :/)
I think we can make this work nice colour scheme, by the way. I think I might have to sig this little gem, or your quote, or something.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
You're giving yourself a few days to wallow in the million+ dollars that you so rightfully got before you have to invest it all, right? Because seriously, you deserve at least 24 hours of wallowing. I'm sure Haley could give you some helpful hints on how to best optimize your wallowing in a giant pile of money.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
Go for it, your idea. I just came up with making the colors match Kickstarter. Although if you do simpy quote it you might want to change the yellow to orange so it shows up better. I'm just really, really glad that things seem to be going well with the deposits so far from the drive. Of course I don't think KickStarter would want the bad press from this either considering all the good press so far.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
I just filled out the survey form for my $25 art pledge.
I was totally nervous because I feared I might have made an error somewhere along the line.
the survey felt like a little comforting checklist that everything should be ok.
yes, I added $10 for international shipping.
I added *insert* 1 */insert* "I participated" badge for $4.
no, I didn't add any books.
I think I should be fine.
now bracing myself for the long wait until the stuff actually ships/arrives. ^^random hum :)

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
my husband got his survey for his $32 (plus tons of extras) pledge, while i pledged for a crayon drawing and have no survey yet. so i eagerly sat beside him while he filled out his survey and got all excited over the whole thing.
i keep thinking: "it's just a survey... why am i so thrilled...?" and then i remember all the glorious excitement of refreshing the kickstarter page each morning and cheering over how much money was raised.
so, yeah, i am very eagerly awaiting my pledge survey.ええ、 まあ、 なんとか。

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
I like the backers choices and I am sure we all will enjoy the stories very much*
As to the backers choice stories:
My personal ranking in the matter would be:
Cliffport PD
Pre-Order Belkar
Therkla
I kinda wondered which charakter I would have picked.
Sure Belkar is great (and Self-proclaimed Comedy Gold) but I would have gone with someone less spotlight e.g. The Monster in the Dark.
I sort of like those 'minor NPCs'*
The CPPD was in my hit list too, so I am glad someone chose them.
Therkla is a fine choice, a good charakter and I like her, but we already Know a Bit of her.
I think I would have chosen Solt Lorkyurg the Gnome spice trader, I Wonder what would have come up with him. I almost forgot him until I saw him in the kickstarter picture.
