Kicking Off Pathfinder Online

Oops sorry about the double post, what a noob!

I just thought of it an exclusive set of goblin works dice!

I'd definitely be in on a set of them.

I also through this on the kickstarter page under one of the updates:

"If we're switching to a monetary goal, allowing high end backers the opportunity to feature in some way in the fiction is a sure way to attract fans. Perhaps allowing their characters to be immortalized as a minor NPC, allowing them to write a line of dialogue or to name a featuring NPC or location. Such opportunities were used in the Journey Quest kickstarter campaigns which we're great successes.

Fans love a touch of infamy ^^"

Maybe a little late for such a suggestion!

If the 436 $30 backers upped their contributions by $20 they would push us over $150,000 and they would get a book for the $20 with supercool art!

I'm actually surprised anyone bought in at the $30 level...I guess being a "Goblin Squad" member is important to some people. (447 people and counting apparently.)

We're obviously going to get our 4th dungeon level...but I don't have high hopes we'll see them in print...although having a full 64 pages of actual RPG material would be a much better reward than 32 pages of actual content and 32 pages of Goblinworks fluff.

This is my first kickstarter project donation as well. Pathfinder has been an improvement on the game I have loved for over 30 years. I feel that they would not chose lightly to have Goblinworks try to bring the world to life. I donated $50 with the hopes we would see the 64 page book. Now we are about 25k or 500 more $50 donations away from having a supersized print edition with some of the greatest writers in the business adding their own styles with additional levels. It is exciting to play a small part in this great project and I have my fingers crossed we can hit $175k total. If we can encourage our friends and gamer buddies to join us in our pledge and show a surge past the $150k mark I am sure we can get several people to jump into the ring with us or up to the $50 donation from the $15 if the supersized print edition looks promising.

Really hoping we can get a print copy of what has turned out to be an all-stars dungeon. :)

Baker, Bulmahn, Jacobs, Mona - an impressive collection of CVs.

Wow glad I upped mine to 50 so I get a hard copy!

Just doing some number crunching:
451 people made the $30 donation. For $20 more they could get a printed edition of Thornkeep. If they all decided they wanted to get this book it would put us up $9020 and about $15 k from our goal of $175.

For the 134 people that put in $5 for an extra $10 they could put us up $1340 and get a 100+ page mega PDF! Why wouldn't you spend $10 more to get that? If they decided to go for it and get the book that would be $6030 more dollars towards the goal.

619 people are getting the PDF already for their $15 donation. If they bumped up to a $50 donation that would be $21665!

As you can see we are not that far from getting the LESS than $25k we need to make the super sized 8.5"x11" book at over 100 pages a reality. It is important to bump up your donations sooner than later to help get those on the fence to smell the blood in the water and throw their support into the effort.

There is usually a surge in the last 48 hours! The closer we are the stronger the surge please join me in encouraging others to join the cause either by bumping up their existing donation or jumping into the ring with us for the first time!

On May 30th people were still saying we were not going to make it past $100k. Four days later we were over $150k. We have four days to make get less than $23k more to get a product that has excited me more than most over the past few years.

Think how awesome it is going to be in print. These writers that are now committed to creating their own levels of the dungeon are going to be competing against one another. They will come up with their best ideas because you know they will be directly compared to one another. A friendly duel of the pens has begun.

Yeah looks good and 50 bucks is the way to go, unless you don't have that much money to spend...

15K to go for the bigger book

Ed Greenwood!!!

I'm as poor as students come, but if there's any hope of us hitting the $200k goal, you can have all of my money.

Great new stretch goal. Lets do it!

Oh...dear...

Ed Greenwood = Epic

I couldn't hold out any longer. I boosted my pledge from $15-$50. Cheers!

Sweet! After having been unemployed for the last couple of months, I got word today that I go back to work tomorrow.

This means I was able to donate to the kickstarter!!!

Bring on my printed copy of Thornkeep!!

5K to go for the bigger book.

The actual website shows over 174k! So close!

$175,000! Hello big book!

Sweet!!! Ding ding ding ding!!!

C'mon Ed Greenwood dungeon level.

that means we have to raise 25K more in less than 48 hours
we might pull it off.

Just pledged $100.

I want that t-shirt (as well)!

I actually debated on that last $5000 slot for a short bit, but a little too rich for my blood. Also for the fact you need to pay for airfare and lodging, as well.

Invite me as one of your guests and I will cover lodging and (domestic) airfare for you...

Congrats!

Should we get past $200,000 dollar mark, will the book be larger than 96 pages?

Dumb question - where has page count been discussed, past the original 64-page book with 32-page adventure in it?

I hadn't seen a formal mention of page count increase for meeting the stretch goal that created the inclusion of the bonus levels.

I would take you up on your offer, but again, the $5000 alone is still more than I can afford.

But thanks for the offer.

Brian, this question was answered on the kickstarter comments page.

I boosted my pledge to $250 and also backed another game called Dead State (turn based zombie Rpg). I really want to see this project happen, so tired of themepark MMOs

5K to go for another level

I'll up my pledge to $75 on an even number and to $100 on an odd number:

1d20 ⇒ 19

"Goblins! What is best in life!"
"To crush your stretch goals! See them driven before you! And to hear the lamentation of the stretch goal writers!"

Looks like we made it!

Congrats!

Which writers are still in the bullpen?

We made it from 0-$50k in the first 24 hours- can we go from $200k-$250k in the last 24 hours?

Wow, that went up fast.

I looked at that only an hour ago and it was still $5,000 short.

Yay!

$225k, we can do it.

Amazing!

$5400 short of the 225k. I reckon we'll hit it

screw the 225K Goal,
and go for the 250K goal.

Is there any way to pledge twice? I would like a second book if at all possible.

Nothing stopping you opening up another Kickstarter account ;)

There's no question we'll hit $225K, but part of me frets about $250K. If we keep up this level of momentum, we should get there, so, fingers crossed!

A $150 pledge level (with an extra, unsigned book) would be convenient.

Agreed. A five level dungeon with 4 pages of flipmats is a terrific perk.

They have said the book will be available to purchase in the future, but they won't be undercutting the kickstarters. Also, I believe it is against Kickstarter T&C to use a second account, although don't quote me on that.

I don't want to start up another account, especially if it's against the rules.

I think I'll just hold off and hope Paizo does open the book up to sell the general public. I only want the book so I have something to use when playing the module, and keep my pledged book safe on my shelf.

Oh, and just hit $225K a little while ago!

20K to go for Flip maps for all

The last 24 hours is shaping up to be as interesting as the first 24 hours :)

And to set the record straight, the physical books are not necessarily going to be for sale later. They are going to print a set amount, and if there are left-overs, they'll sell them. They might do a second printing, but I wouldn't count on it.

I seriously doubt there are any rules on Kickstarter to keep you from creating a second account.
