Tonight, we crossed the threshold of $10,000, so we are officially in “funded” territory! I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their very generous support, for helping to spread the word, and for taking a leap of faith with me on this project!
We still have 8 days of funding left before the actual deadline, so there is still time for new people to join up and/or for existing patrons to revise their pledges. We’ve hit the minimum needed to go forward, but every bit of extra money we raise now goes toward increasing the budget for freelancers (writers, editors, artists, etc.) and to buy a larger print run of the hardcover book when we have it finished. So, every little bit we raise before the deadline helps!
Also, I opened up some additional $100 and $200 patron slots, so if you had wanted to get into a higher category but were unable to, go to the e20 System project’s page on Kickstarter and click the “Manage Your Pledge” button over on the right-hand side.
One final point: I also added a VIP (Very Important Patron) level for anyone who might be interested. In short, it’s a $1,500 pledge that gets you a flight to Gen Con this August, sharing our hotel room (you get your own bed, of course!) in the Marriott right across from the exhibit hall, and we buy you a 4-day badge. Basically, you get to party like a game designer for 5 days and see what it’s like in our (crowded) world. So, if you were already thinking about Gen Con this year but you haven’t made any specific plans yet, we’d love to have you join us!
