    Can we add an additional book to any level of pledge? I see that adding NCftPB can be added to some pledge levels for an additional $30. But I hadn't seen it clarified if we could do that at any level, or just the ones that specify it.
    As long as you're not adding DStP yet (as it's the only book out of stock) and don't need anything signed, you should be able to add another book to any pledge. Make sure to message Rich about it, though, so he can both update what he needs to send you and tell you what the actual cost will be

    Hooray! I'm a backer! Finally, I'll be able to get a copy of OtOoPCs.

    Also, there's a new update on the site.

    Also, I saw a link to the KS campaign on the boardgamegeek forums this weekend. A couple of people replied they were glad to see it linked, as they hadn't heard about it. If you're active on any other comic/gaming forums that aren't talking about this, probably worth dropping a link in there.
    From what I understand you can add copies of unsigned books to most orders, at least copies of the three books that are being reprinted. I know SSaDT and SoD have more limited qualities so I'm not sure if they are options or not. However I was able to add all of the reprinted books onto my order, and believe that in most cases you can do this if you raise your pledge the appropriate amount and send a note saying you wish to do so.

    Thanks, I'll go ahead and drop him a line then. I'm currently pledged on one of the SSaDT bundles, and it's really the best default pledge option for me, but decided that I could justify adding one more book if a la carte was a option.

    Let me know how that goes, I might be interested in something like that.

    Via PM preferably (so you don't have to publicly announce what you discussed with The Giant :P)

    Edit: I'm actually at the SS&DT alone level right now

    It's kicked (no pun intended) up a gear, and it's been clearing about 1K per hour for the last couple of hours. If that keeps up it might just clear today by 6 pm PST.

    Regardless of when it clears, Rich has already said that he won't update the pledge drive until later tonight as he is busy working on a certain online comic strip.

    I for one am more than happy to wait for updates while the story continues. Though I do wonder what Mystery Prize #3 could be... hmm.

    Those options have already sold out, so you're out of luck. As for the quantities, the drawings/stories are limited due to time. If Rich made them unlimited, he'd be drawing until the end of time and the strip would never update again.

    As for the books, initially all he had to sign was the quantities on hand at Ookookdook. So they were limited. Once the pledge drive allowed for reprint runs, he added more signed copies options. You can get a very clear idea of everything if you go to the Kickstarter page and click on Updates. He lays out everything pretty clearly.

    This Kickstarter got me to stop lurking after reading since around 2005!

    We really do seem to be on track to hit the 255k level in the next 5-6 hours at this rate, which will in turn cause a big bounce as everyone ups pledges to include DsTP; then that should see us hit #3!

    I didn't want to give up my current option of all the print-only books, so to help out with the additional push to the final reprint, I made another account and pledged for the print.

    Er, and then added thirty dollars, so I can begin my collection of the compilation books.

    Oh, and seven more dollars because I live in Canada.

    ...what is this pledge drive doing to my frugal nature!?

    He's not necessarily out of luck..

    Rich has added new limited rewards several times, so there's no reason to doubt that more limited rewards will be added when we reach DStP.

    And we're almost there! Woot!

    But he's yet to add any custom artwork with the new updates. Not impossible it comes though, but it seem unlikely if we extrapolate from earlier additions (signed books and posters).

    From update #8:

    And I'm already forming plans for some new goals (and shiny new rewards) to try to keep this momentum going after DStP is funded, so expect to be tuning in right up until the final days.
    So don't give up hope of at least *something* taking your fancy. :)

    I'm simply waiting for the drive to become so successful, the goals actually loop back around to the start, and we push toward re-reprinting War and XPs.

    I'm a bit confused by the sheer number of different pledges available. xD

    Can someone give me a list of all the OOtS books out now?

    Also, is there a pledge option which gives you all of them? If I'm going to invest my very limited budget in buying them I don't want to only have half of them.

    Also, do they ship worldwide? Some options offer it, others don't say.

    After $2,500 more donations there is a strong probability there will be a pledge point for an entire set added. Everything can be shipped internationally, it just depends on what you are getting. If the reward you select doesn't include the international rate, Send a message to Rich on the Kickstarter site (link is right below The Order of the Stick Reprint Drive)

    You can use the UP TO THE SPLIT option as a good estimate of what the price point will be (+ 1 more large book).

    I'm thinking of copying all of Wampa's posts about the Rich Baker and saving them. You know, in case the signs start coming true, so I can recognize them. Certainly not so I can start laughing a year from now while clearing out old data because I'll have forgotten after a year, no sir.

    Ah, thank you for your help.

    So there are 4 volumes out so far, 3 side books, and of course the O-Chul short story, that about sum it up?

    For my own reference, the books are;

    Dungeon Crawlin Fools
    No Cure For the Paladin Blues
    War and XPs
    Don't Split the Party

    On the Origin of PCs
    Start of Darkness
    Snips, Snails and Dragon Tales

    This is gonna be expensive.

    Should be $192 - 16 + 30 = 206

    If the price for all but DStP is anything to go by, then about $220.
    Although buying them each individually seems cheaper for some reason.
