So Russ, are you going to add stretch goals, or just ask Kickstarter to end the drive early so you can get the process started now?

I've already added one stretch goal. Remember Wild Spellcraft from 2001-ish?

Please keep those stretch goal ideas rolling in! I have an idea (man, I didn't think I'd have to worry about stretch goals!) which I'm going to approach a publisher about; I don't know what they'll say, though.

A permanently employed programmer wouldn't work well -- the salary would be too high, and he/she would spend much of the year doing nothing! But some sort of ongoing maintenance contract might be doable - I'll put out some feelers. It's not the sort of thing small sites like this can typically manage (I imagine the FARKS and AICN's and the like have that sort of thing in place though).

So you're suggesting "permanently employed tech admin/programmer" as one of the stretch goals then?

No, I am speaking of a realistic, achievable goal here.

Just glad I could give something back. And while I like the generic blue/white of the current site, I do find myself missing the black template of yore (even if it did kill my eyes).

Best of luck!

You can change the site template to black background with grey text in your settings.

Hard to say what EN World could use in terms of site functionality that is really necessary and not more easily accomplished by other means. Do we still have integrated access to the #enworld IRC chat room? Not that we necessarily need it. Maps for PbP are easily done in Paint.

Was the Calendar (which I did not even realize we had until I just went to look for it) integrated with the geography of the Gamers Seeking Gamers system before?

Is there any chance of you adding more "IMMORTALITY!" pledge backers or are the backer levels set in stone?

If you go to the bottom left of any page, you'll find a little style selector that you'll love!

Sure; I recognise we're talking about convenience here.

It was, yep!
