Tags: Codex Dead State Campaign; Dead State; KickstarterGiven how successful we were with Wasteland 2, we thought why the hell not raise more money for more Kickstarter games in order to spread the Codex love?
So, we're trying to raise $5,000 for the Dead State Zombie Survival RPG made by our friends Annie andVault Dweller Brian Mitsoda. Here's what we get for our cash:
As per usual we have no idea what the details are of what we'll have in-game but I'm suspecting it will be some kind of statue...
If you'd like to contribute you MUST follow the above link. Any purchases made using the usual forum upgrades option on the user account upgrade page will not be taken into account. This is because it's too fucking hard to sort out ad-free status and what-not using that system at the moment.
Make sure you give us your forum username when you donate so we can add your name to the list of donators and work out forum goodies.
If we don't raise enough cash, then we'll go for the highest reward we can get, with anything left-over going towardshookers and booze server upgrades. If the Kickstarter campaign fails completely, all funds raised will go towards keeping the Codex alive.

Update 15th June
Annie Mitsoda from DoubleBear sends through this special offer for the Codex:
For $5K, we wanted to make an ACTUAL SPECIAL LOCATION - a game store in the world of Dead State - for the Codex, AND feature the names of donators somewhere in that store (high scores written on a sheet? a suicide note? etc? up to the Codex to decide!). We also wanted to offer something IN that game store (comics?) that is Codex-related - a series of 3-5 comics that the Codex decides the style/theme/characters to (superhero comic? sci-fi? shogo manga?) Also a boardgame related item - what's the name, description, and objective in this unique item?
We wanted to be CERTAIN that the Codex knows we're offering up some special shit for you guys - you're unique and we wanted something to reflect that! :D Please, please let everyone know - DoubleBear collectively /brofists the Codex, and we're excited to offer you specialty shineys!
With that in mind, I did some tier rearrangement (with the blessing of the team) to offer UNIQUE tier rewards to the Codex:
$250 - 15 digital copies, Codex thanked (in aggregate) in the Special Thanks in the credits
$350 - personal info in game #1 ("Be memorialized somewhere in the game - name and key personal information incorporated into the world of Dead State")
$475 - personal info #2
$500 - text message #1 ("We will include your zombie apocalypse text message - up to 250 characters - written by you in the game as part of collectible in-game data.")
$550 - text message #2
$600 - ad poster for the "RPG Codex" store (designed by our logo artist, Brandon, and placed somewhere in the game)
$750 - character portrait!
$800 - zombie portrait!
$850 - equipment item (i.e. not a weapon or armor)
$1250 - game morale item (board or videogame - CAN YOU SAVE CODEXIA FROM THE HORDES OF TROLLS? etc.)
$1500 - 3-piece morale item set (novels? comics?)
$2000 - Zombie apocalypse story (Work with Brian Mitsoda to tell your "zombie apocalypse story" which will show up as a collectible piece of story data for every player to see.)
$3000 - 3-piece set is upgraded to 5 pieces!
$3500 - Codexian statue!
$5000 - The RPG Codex - full game store location, complete with posters, applicable decorations, and a list of the contributors in some format
For all of the writing ones, just like on the Kickstarter site, editorial standards apply, but other than that... there you go!
(and I'd include salsa lessons from Oscar in there, but I think it's up to him to decide what tier that goes on...)
Hope Codexians dig these rewards!
