    The $80 pledge says "no other additions or substitutions, please." Does that mean I can't get the art print + patch for $99? Sorry if I missed the answer to this.

    The chart says you can...although, admittedly, that chart also says you *can't* get the art print, which is clearly wrong! In any case, the patch is a very small, thin, soft item, I find it hard to believe they can't fit it into the same packaging as the game and the art print.

    [EDIT] Actually, just read the text of the $15 pledge, and that says the following (emphasis mine), which confirms you can add the patch to your pledge:

    One "I'm Participating" commemorative patch, plus a Roy Greenhilt magnet. Add more patches to this package (or any higher level package) for $4 each, maximum total 9.

    The pledge amount is soaring since the update announcement.

    But the chart is wrong about $80 pledge and the art print (and spells Greenhilt wrong!) hence why I wasn't sure about trusting it.

    I think Rich should set a new goal for $1,000,000 right now. Personally, I'm sitting at a $79 pledge right now, but I think there's a real chance that OOTS can break the one million mark and if Rich shoots for that, I will gladly up my pledge by a lot. :D
    Rules that supersede Rule 0:

    Rule -1: You're all there to have fun. The GM and the players should never do anything that would limit people's fun, for any in-game or real-life reason.

    Rule -0.5 (corollary): That means that if someone's fun is getting in the way of other people's fun, that person needs to change how they're playing.

    I want a patch but have to wait until Sunday to ask my partner if I can add another four dollars out of the joint account... It's only about £3... but I already persuaded him to up the pledge for the art print...

    Yeah, I noticed that about the art print too since my pledge is for Swag Pack #1, which offers it for another $15 as well.

    About the only thing I'll switch it for is a signed art print if one opens up.

    Personally I think you could make a number(even an unreasonable one) for a MITD reveal...

    Make it a PDF file that you only get if you pledge even.

    I think MITD reveal would make the number blast upwards like a rocket.

    But then there'd be no surprise and wonder when the actual plot does a big reveal...

    I had sworn I wouldn't pledge anymore considering how ridiculously high my pledge was already, but that patch... it's just so awesome. Had to get one.

    About $72000 to the #2 spot (#3 after Double Fine finishes). Unless the pace slows down significantly, it's hard to imagine not making that.

    It seems there's been a bit of a surge. $20,000 in just the 5 hours since the new update. That must be 5,000 backers upping their pledge by $4 each!

    I gave in and upped it as well. I currently have a $268 pledge, made up of $222+$37+$5+$4 for the full story, shipping to Europe, an extra colouring book and a patch, respectively.

    I've managed to keep on top of all of the diffferent packages and whatnot up until this point, but the most recent infogram has confused me Can anyone help me out?

    I'm currently pledging $367. That's the WHOLE STORY AND A GAME combo at $295+international shipping. And the description for that reward specifies that it _includes_ the Sticks Shticks content, whereas the latest reward chart (http://www.giantitp.com/Images/gitpk...wardChart2.png) seems to indicate I need to add $6 to get them. Now, I'm obviously happy to do just that, but I don't want to miss out on something just due to a derp.

    So yeah, do I need to increase my pledge by $6 or not?

    How are so many people in this very forum unaware of the Kickstarter campaign? I keep running into comments lamenting the prices of shipping from Ookadook or lamenting that certain books are out of stock. There's about a dozen threads about Kickstarter right here throughout the forum! Plus several announcements! And its been going on for nearly a month!

    You're getting it. The text for "WHOLE STORY AND A GAME" is unambiguous, stating that you get "the OOTS Adventure Game Deluxe Edition (which includes original game and The Shortening expansion), the Sticky Shticks mini-expansion," etc.

    The reward chart uses broad categories for "Book Pledges" that can't possibly take into account every single variation in a mere 4 columns. The chart appears to be minimally inclusive, in order to inform folks of the minimum amount of bonus materials they can expect with their book order. The $16, $36, and $80 are "Book-less Pledges", so they're called out in two other columns as specifically including Sticky Shticks. There are only two "Book Pledge" levels that include it by default: Your $295 level and the $114 level.

    You are also starting to get people putting in their last minute pledges so as not to miss the pdfs because once the event is over it is over and people do not want to botch it.

    I predict a huge jump right near the end from lurkers.

    I've seen that happen with a lot of other projects on Kickstarter, particularly popular ones. Then again most of those projects had slowed significantly before the final jump in pledges. Not sure if we'll see a big surge or not.

    Just as long as we keep up our momentum, we might well make it to third place! Well, second place technically, until Schafer's project funds.

    O ye of little faith. Right now we're about $22k from that $900k mark. We should hit it sometime tonight or tomorrow morning at the latest. I'd be very much surprised if we don't break the $million mark.

    I'll note that Rich also seems to be assuming we'll get to just over $900k (see update #21). He needs to have a bit more faith too.

    All the big rewards are taken, Rich probably won't offer any new rewards, so few people have a reason to increase their pledge (apart from the possible patch).
    Rich has promised more rewards over the weekend.

    I don't know if we're going to make $1M or not (I'm only in for $25 - I have all the books, and the only thing that made sense to buy was the art print), but I did want to pay my compliments to Kaulguard's eloquent and heartfelt testimonial. Amen!
