"Order of the Stick" Kickstarter shatters records, about to top $500K

As you probably know, Order of the Stick is Rich Burlew's web comic about stick figure D&D adventurers. A number of the older compilations are out of print, so two weeks ago Burlew set up a Kickstarter to raise $58,000 within a month.

As I write this with 15 days to go, the total is at $483,626 and rising by $30,000 a day. The fund raiser is due to top a half million dollars some time this evening, and could top $900,000 by the time it's done. Amazing.

This puts OotS solidly in the top ten Kickstarters of all time. Rewards include the various books he's reprinting, fridge magnets, an OotS coloring book, stickers, a hit point tracking pad, and digital PDFs of brand new OotS stories. Be sure not to miss the update page, full of bonus cartoons and a few astonishing graphs.

The status you are looking for is not available due to the earthquake in the area.

I signed up for Snips, Snails a while ago, and I'm amazed at how much stuff I'll be getting with that one book.

I finally pledged my $10, and I'm thinking about upping my pledge to get Snips, Snails.

I signed up for a fridge magnet just to help out a bit. I'm now in for a book, a magnet and the art prints.. and getting free pdfs, stickers and a colouring book! Absolutely fantastic stuff - I think I'll add Snips to my pledge. Should have enough cash in April :-)

(There aren't any Paizo hardbacks that month, are they?)

glowing faintly. It's probably safe. What could possibly go wrong?

Stupid question: which reward level gives Snips? It looks like that reward is currently sold out.

Snips can be taken as the (add any 1 book for $30 option) on the $24, $25 and $32 pledge reward levels as Rich mentioned in a comment a few days back after a few people had emailed him about it.

Also woot, mystery prize #4 that we earned from passing the $500k mark is going to be a 15 page pdf spoof for Romeo & Juliet as detailed in Update 15 posted a few mins ago:

Haleo & Julelan - A Classic Romance Ruined

Elan brings us the latest StickTales adventure in the tradition of last year's Greenhilt, Prince of Denmark: The story of Haleo, heir to the roguish House of Starshine, as she falls in love with the fair and delicate Julelan. But she's shocked to learn that her new lover is the son of her father's sworn enemies, the power-hungry House of Tarquin! Will their love be doomed? Probably. But more importantly, will we milk 15 pages of jokes out of it first? Yes. Yes, we will.

P.P.S. Every pledge that's getting the other PDFs will get this one, too, so everyone over $10. This will definitely be the last PDF story added to the pledge drive, as I've already probably bitten off more work than I can chew.

Edit: And I just noticed I've hit post #666. Muahahahhahah!

Stupid question.

The $94 level has pick 2+1 and then the option to add more for $30 or $16 up to 6.

If I want 6 books ( 1 of each ) do I pledge 94 or do i pledge 170?

  Just pledge 222 for the complete pack ;-)
