Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
The backer literally requested "some sort of cop show parody starring the CPPD." So, yes.
Not at all; as mentioned above, a pre-Order story is not the same as an ORIGIN story. I can do an entire story of Belkar being Belkar without ever explaining WHY he's like that, which is what I said I didn't want to do.
My wife and I fully predicted that this would be one of the choices if they stayed open long enough for forumites to pool their money. Luckily, they went quickly.Rich Burlew

*basks in afterglow as instructed* Congratulations and thanks for the ride, everyone.

I'm glad Rich is creating stuff... when he's creating stuff. It wouldn't make sense for his inspiration & creativity to be reined in because of a list/schedule.
--
The tentative selections for the story PDFs all seem like good, solid choices that'll add ?depth?more data? to the universe. Plenty of space for Rich to work in. I can't wait to see the bonus untamed-Belkar material!
--
Damn you, Therkla-chooser! You've put Rich on the spot. Will her background tug at the heart strings even more? Or will Rich present a clearly evil background, turning future events (i.e. the core story) into a "happy ending"?
What if I was happy with my head in the sand?

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
I guess that's why I added "not to the same extent as some other people" - you could even do a story about the incident that landed him in jail to start Origins.
I suppose a story about a Belkar with free reign to do mayhem would sort of be like the "missing" Origins story.Avatar courtesy azuyomi244.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
Oooh: I'm glad I'm not the only one generally happy about the PDF choices.
Kudos to those who chose (and managed to lunge in time).
Although... I'm slightly nervous about the Belkar one. For much the same reasons I'm not too keen to actually find out about MitD's actual species or V's biological sex. I like having an unresolved guess.
Now, my only question is... would it be OK to share my sketch (once I've actually decided what'll it'll be) with a TV Tropes OotS forum in a reduced digital format (watermark possible)? I'm thinking about letting them help me choose the characters (in thanks for many happy hours wasting time there).
There's no rush: I'm Patient.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
*starts happy-dancing through the house* … what?
Actually, that could make things easier (customs-wise) for everyone located in the European Union. Due to the EU being a customs union, the same customs rules (should) apply in every member state for imports from the US. Dealing with customs offices can be very frustrating, especially the delays and ridiculous import taxes and fees.
So yeah, a bill on the package listing the things inside the package would be really cool.
(Seriously, over €60 import taxes and fees for an order that was less than €200? Are you kidding me, EU?)

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
Well, to be fair, the order contained some T-shirts, and I think clothing is the main reason for such high taxes and fees. Seeing as there won't be any items of clothing in any of the reward packages, it might not be an issue at all. (Unless, of course, one considers the patch as an item of clothing. )
But then again, I'm not too keen on the customs office opening my packages to look inside and maybe losing/damaging something in the process of searching it :/

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
This is why I chose her.
Because there is an open endedness to her tale, on either side.
She made some alignment altering decisions in her final moments and I'm curious how that would play out in her afterlife.
OR
Why was she the only female (and or demi-human) working for Kubota? Why was he mentoring her in Villainous Best Practices?
OR
Will a devil as a tombstone have some unexpected dramatic consequence?
Either way, I thought she was a strong character that had a far too brief moment to shine.Let the Yaggle Gakkle-ing begin.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
I second (or third, or fourth, or whatever) the need for a receipt and note for customs.
There are quite a few pledgers from Argentina, and it would be really good for us if there is a receipt with the items actual value, not the one from the pledge.
Or since they are "prizes" or "gifts" for participating, it would be great if they could be labeled as such.
In short, we really need some sort of notice/receipt with the items actual value / or a receipt stating the items as gifts, so as to no have problems with customs.
Rich, if you are able to instruct Ookookdook to do so, it would help all your international followers.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
Therkla is an excellent choice for a bonus story, I'm looking forward to it Belkar is not the most exciting choice in my opinion though, simply because we already get to see so much of him in the main comic. Sure he's great, but I'd rather have more supporting characters fleshed out a bit. My personal choice would have been a story about Tarquin's conquests, but then again we'll probably get to see plenty of him in action in the main strip...

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
(me asking about deadline for deciding the content of Crayon drawing)
Glad to hear that there is no rush on decision!
(Giant responding to a question about keeping/posting scans of Crayon drawings.)
This is good to know as I was discarding options that had too much personal meaning as I was a bit uncomfortable about it being released into the wild. Not that I will definitely go that route but it is nice to know that a private option exists.
I think that I will create some sort of visual representation, say an option chart, to help me keep the byzantine complexities straight.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
The Giant already answered that he can't do this, but on the KS chatroom (excuse me, in the KS comment-section ) we have come up with the plan of an "I'll show you mine if you'll show me yours" thread. Wich is to say, a thread for anyone who so chooses, to post their artwork in. Will be awesome! I know I'll be posting mine (even tho they're not OotS, but family/party drawings).
The thread isn't there now, but that is just because, ofcourse, neither are our works of art Just keep an eye out for it!
EDIT Wauw, super ninja-ed! No worries and I second @Euo (sorry, short name stuck with me): I'll only post here if the Giant approves ofcourse. But I would definitly also appreciate some help with the choosingLast edited by Idriël; 2012-02-22 at 01:33 PM.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
I have no objection to anyone sharing the images I draw for them. A thread for it sounds like a fantastic idea.

Just to clarify, since Rich owns the copyright to these crayon drawings.
We have Rich Burlew's permission to digitally copy any kickstarter crayon drawing and distribute them online for non commecial use as long as Rich is properly credited and we don't alter the image, if we, the backer, so choose.
In other words, a CC-BY-NC-ND license?

At the top, under the directory "Giant in the Playground>Comics> The Order of the stick" You will find a link called User CP (Stands for control panel) From there go to signatures. Type in what you want (add any links or pics too) and save it.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
I agree. Therkla is a very well-drawn (in the metaphorical sense) character, but not one of the most fun IMO. I'm sure it'll be good, though, and I'm in no position to complain! I wonder if the CPPD story will be before or after their appearance in the main comic? I might like to see more of Rookie being in charge, but then Chief is also great. Maybe they'll raise Chief!

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
It's quite OK for anybody to cut me down to Euo, Euodia, Chloris or even Xurina (Second Life 'surname'). Especially you Mari... I mean, Idriël.
As mentioned in a chatroo... comments thread elsewhere: this dryad doesn't mind one bit having her name trimmed.
And, as with Idriël, ideas for the sketch are always welcome.
