This is kickstarting right now. Two days left. It's going to be hard, but not impossible.

We need you guys.

Let me post what I said about it yesterday evening:

"Right now, The Great Kingdom Kickstarter is just shy of $33,000. The goal is $50,000, and we have three days to make it happen. It CAN happen. So share this as much as you can, let's keep on working, keep on boosting the signal.

The Great Kingdom is a feature length documentary that tells the story of the inception of the game, the people and families that built it, the rise of TSR, the growth of role-playing games as a hobby, the explosion and phenomenon these games became. It is the story of our passion, its roots, and the amazing lightning in the bottle that revolutionized our media, our games, and our own imaginations over the years. This is an opportunity. We can make it happen.

Ernest Gary Gygax Jr. and I, Rob Kuntz, John Bobek and so many more are supporting this kickstarter. If you want a copy of Sammi-Zowa versus the Dueling Dragons signed by Ernie, if you want John Bobek's book "The Games of War", which talks about the wargaming hobby from where our games come from, plus the actual documentary, plus our digital offerings, you can get all that, and much more.

We think it's an important thing to tell the story of what happened to the masses, and we think this documentary can do the job. These are good people behind it.

Check it out. Pledge if you can and are so inclined. Share it on your Facebook wall, share it with your friends, in groups you know, on message boards left and right, on Google Plus, Twitter, Reddit, what-have-you. Let's make this happen!"

We've got two days left. It's going to be hard, but not impossible. Please help make it happen. Thank you!

Anybody up for some Potato Salad, namely Ernie's mom's own secret recipe, no less?

For a mere $10 on The Great Kingdom kickstarter, you get Mary Jo's Potato Salad recipe! This is the secret Gygax German Potato Salad recipe, fantastically unhealthy with its share of bacon, and tasty with a dash of apple cider vinegar... anything gamers young and old could want at the game table!

And at a $25 pledge level, you get the HD download of the documentary, PLUS the Potato Salad secret recipe!

The Great Kingdom funded! Thank you everyone, any one of you, who commented, liked, shared, and pitched in to see this documentary get made.

It's not over yet. We're closing on $52,000 as I'm writing this. There are a lot of cool rewards and different pledge levels to have a look at, but the real treat is the documentary itself. It's going to be made now, of that we have no doubt. So pitch in while you can, and otherwise, thank you for your attention, your good words, your shares, your likes, and so on. You all helped. Thank you!
