Right now it's on track to finish in the Top 10 in both funding and backers. We'll have to see what the last 24 hour push looks like

I'm getting SO MUCH STUFF for my $75 pledge. I'm going to have to clear out some space on my bookshelf. 0.o

Well, well, It just overtook Exploding Kittens to be the third most funded tabletop game. And the top spot for most funded tabletop game that isn't a sequel.

And now it's at $9,213,362 with 78,296 backers and 5 hours to go. It made the Top Ten.

#10 in both Funding and Backers. About 100 backers away from #9 in that category. Anything beyond that seems unattainable with 5 hours, but who knows how big the tail will grow at the end?

Currently, it stands at $9,413,279 and has 80,315 backers. It is now the 10th most funded, and the 9th most backed, Kickstarter project of all time. (And in the Games category alone, it's the #3 most funded and #5 most backed.)

It has 108 minutes left to go, and seems to be pulling in a couple thousand dollars and a dozen new backers every minute.

If I were Magpie Games, I'm not sure how I would feel right about now. On the one hand, I would be incredibly proud of my team for pulling off a record-breaking Kickstarter campaign, one of the most successful ones in history. But on the other hand, knowing what I know now about materials shortages and shipping challenges, and having hundreds of thousands of books to deliver...I think I would be huddled in the corner wimpering.

Indie publishing isn't for the feint of heart.

And the campaign has ended.

"81,564 backers pledged $9,535,022 to help bring this project to life."

In case Nickolodeon has any doubt about the pull the Avatar franchise still has...
