That is what I was thinking (and hoping  :D )  I don't need hardcopy for the scans, I'd just like to oppotunityto read and revel in their antiquated glory!  And I'd definitely be in at $100 with that kind of perk.  August 2012, THAT...WOULD...BE...OUTSTANDING (and ambitious  8O )

Sightly off topic, are the TSAR books shipping yet?

Up past 40k now.  With 58 days left to go I'm wondering how big this is going to get now that word is really starting to filter out across the internet.

I am also adding character creation (of PCs for use in the $10k reward) that you get to Class, name and have portraits drawn of by one of our artists that will be used during my visit (heck you can even send me 8 photos and have them look like you) and will go in the book as a piece of RPG history. the Lucky $10k (only 1 ever) buyer gets to spec the player characters! (thanks to Doug for the advice on providing a truly unique opportunity for the heavy hitters in the crowd).

This will all be posted up shortly.

It's not a question of wanting, it's more a question of means testing me for cash available....Doug is the heavy hitter in this duo, not me!  

Has anyone ever found any of the special certificates included with some the RA Reloaded sets?  I remember one you could redeem for every Necromancer product, etc.  I've opened up every copy I've had pass through my hands (yep, I deshrinked them!) and never located one.

The only golden ticket found was #1/5--the uniquely signed Orcus/Tsathogga (not Bill and Clark) one. The trip to Gencon, free pdfs for life, free books for life, and the other one (I cannot recall what it was after 9 years) are still out there.

Probably sitting in some Acaeum members shrinked box....or in one of the boxes Bill is giving away in the kickstater!

This needs to be made into a Cthulhu Mythos version of the Willy Wonka story (not that the first movie wasn't creepy enough in its own non-Cthulhu fashion). Maybe a little more Army of Darkness, we could get Bruce Campbell to play Tsathogga!

The new $650 funding level is of exceptional value!.. I would predict that quite a few of the $500 level will upgrade to this..

Brette:)

I just upgraded to the new $650 level.  It's to good not to.

Bill:  I would like my books to be signed in your blood.  I really do not think it is to much to asK. :D

At this point, and we are only starting Day 2 of this kickstarter, the $650 level is sweet. Do you only get the 1 Battlemap?

Dammit, I've been reading this the last couple of days, but I'm on training for my new job and the Internet connection is appalling! I'm definitely in on a $100 issue I need that hardcover, but I haven't been able to get to the kickstarter site as it won't load, apart from a brief glimpse of what's there... Please don't sell out of this before I sign up please Bill!
I might even go for a bigger support level, but definitely keep me a $100 one for now, please!! :)

I am unfamiliar with Rappan Athuk, but I am a backer at $100 now and I am thinking of bumping that up to $175. Anyone associated with the Kickstarter can thank members here for recommending this to me. After doing research about it since my pledge, I am quite excited about it.

That is my two bits,

Zach

What does the $175 level get you? It was the $250 that was the level for the bonus adventures (I thought).

Signed and numbered book. I would like to spend more, but I also would like to spend money in Texas. I did break down and make it $175 since there is an orcus mini involved.
