New Server Drive - donation and prize thread (Final total: $13,310!)

[Trainz]

Same here. Since Mark was generous enough to give a free copy of his revised SRD to every single donator and not just 5 copies as he originally promised I think that we should try and return some of that kindness.

I have worked a bit with Mark on various projects, and let me add a big thanks in advance for those wishing to support CMG. It took literally thousands of hours to create the SRD bundle, and I just can't fathom how long and hard it must have been at times to work on it.

Mark asked me to test some hyperlinks in a few of the SRD pdf's, and just doing that took me more or less 20 hours. It's huge.

Thanks Mark !

My guess is that Mark isn't sending out mass confirmation emails, so he hasn't gotten through the huge 390 person list yet. I'll let him confirm or deny. A huge thank you to people who are purchasing CMG products as a way of saying thanks... you guys rock.

Yup! Big list and as I go through it I am taking time to break for incoming emails also.

However...

Belen - I definitely sent you and email. Care to email me from another address than yahoo? ( Mark (at) CreativeMountainGames (dot) com )

Psion - Are you eligible for contests and prizes as an erstwhile EN World employee?

DocAnom- Once you get your FREE bundle, and purchase the other bundle, you'll have pretty much all that is available to date...so there won't be much else to search around for, except you would do well to sign up on my message boards. Customers who are also signed up on my boards are going to be in for a very nice surprise in the not too distant future...

BTW, Thank you to everyone who is also purchasing the additional Bundle! I think you'll find it to be a remarkably great deal and worth getting NOW...especially with my rent due and several hungry wolves howling for their share of my oh-so-tender hide. (Plus, the special offer is not going to be available for long. I'm running out of virtual stock! )

Thank you, thank you, thank you, to everyone for their support of CMG and especially EN World (which is actually a direct support of ALL small press and e-publishing companies!)

I'd put this in e-mail, but the answer might be useful to many folks...

Your e-mail talks about getting the additional bundle using PayPal. Is there a way for those who don't use that service to purchase the bundle?

 

[Hand of Evil]

HoE, I apologize, but you're on the list for the pdfs. If you choose not to take any, just don't respond to those emails.

Not an issue.

Employee?

I'm a staff member/volunteer. If whatever contributers out there feel that my staff position disqualifies me from being a benificiary of their lovin', then by all means feel free to do as your intentions dictate with no fear of ire from me.

But I had hoped to get in on the lovin'.

Not sure how. This is a special offer that is only available through my site and I have no other means.

If you haven't used Paypal in a while, you might want to check it out again. They changed a lot over the last couple of years, especially since their merger with ebay. If you don't mind using a credit card online, it is as safe as any other method. Personally, I use a debit card online, rather than a regular credit card.

I guess if someone wanted to send a check that could be arranged but given the low cost of the materials I'm not sure it makes much sense to do it that way. Anyway, I don't want anyone to do anything they don't feel comfortable doing but millions and millions of people use ebay and paypal every day without trouble.

(Before someone else decides to post about it, I do know some folks will never use it for their own reasons, and I am sure that they are probably quite justified but let's not let this thread get bogged down in a Paypal = good/bad thingy, please. I'd hate for the thread to get derailed with bad feelings while so much goodness has been shared so far.)

I want some lovin' too!!

 

[Piratecat]

So folks know - anyone who donated is eligible, whether they have an official role at EN World or not. That includes Psion, Crothian... heck, even me!

Holy crap!

 

[Mark]

Really, I use the solevoir/sage SRD and am pretty happy with it, so it wouldn't be any skin off my back...

Speaking of lovin'. Nice touch. A little grease with that next time, eh?

I want some lovin' too!!

I'll bet you do. Of course, you'll be posting about it all over the place...

Says you!

Holy crap!

Would those of you in the Boy Wonder auditions please stick to the scripts passed out to you in the lobby...
