Community Chris Avellone To Draw Personal Trolls for Most Generous Codex Fundraiser Backers

Tags: Chris Avellone; Kickstarter; Project Eternity

As you probably know (and can see on our front page), we have an RPG Codex fundraiser for the Project Eternity Kickstarter currently ongoing, to get on that $5000 community tier. (Our beloved admin will only update the donation counter once in a couple of days, so I've no idea how much we've collected so far.)

So in case you happen to be affluent enough to have a few hundred bucks to contribute to the Codex' eternal glory (and thereby to Obsidian's Kickstarter effort as well -- even if we don't reach the goal, all funds collected will go to Kickstarter), but are still on the fence and might need some further incentive to do so, I'm happy to inform you that, in a proud Codexian tradition, Obsidian's Chris Avellone has kindly agreed to draw personal troll avatars/pictures (to use on the Codex boards and show off to friends and strangers alike) for those who donate at least $250 to the cause. You'll get to request the design and everything. Look at my avatar for an example.

If you wanted to but couldn't get on board this initiative back when we did the Wasteland 2 fundraiser, now you can do it.

DONATE HERE
!! Only donations made via the above button count towards the fundraiser !!
!! You must donate at least $250 to be eligible for a personal troll !!​

To those who are worried about the in-game reference being too silly: don't worry, we'll sort it out. We'll stage a contest for that anyway, I'm sure. Plus Obsidian wouldn't let our band of adventurers stick out too much in a bad way.

Have fun and support the Codex and Obsidian's Kickstarter.

P.S. And DU's trolling you, you know. (DISCLAIMER: This is my personal opinion that may not coincide with that of the administration.)

You know you can reduce your pledge, right?

Yeah but I want the swag and goodies. Collector's Edition box signed by MCA, Cain and Sawyer.

The best part about this forum is that the administrator is the biggest jackass of all.

YOU ARE SUCH A BRO MCA (and Obsidian) <3 <3 <3

I really wanted one but missed out on the WL2 Codex funddrive.

 

[maverick]

Nice one. Already donated $25 for the codex gold bag and $160 for the kickstarter. I have faith in this game.

That's exactly my situation as well. I will have that signed box even though I'd love my own MCA avatar. I'll certainly donate to our roving band of misfit adventurers but not at that price level.

Why even bother with the contest? We all know it's just going to be one thug remarking they will have their way with the PC when they are done with another clarifying "tastefully".

 

[Lockkaliber]

Aight. I'm game then. Also, DU is a cunt.

 

[Grunker]

damn, if i wasn't but a poor student

DU is a cunt.

dude, you registered in '09 how does this come as a surprise to you

also, good to see you posting again

the codex needs a little rainbow now and again

As an extra added incentive, I will also immediately ban anyone who donates $250 or more to this campaign.

EDIT: Also, a bit over $400 USD raised to date (that's minus PayPal / foreign currency conversion fees). I'll do a full tally and update with names later today or tomorrow - depending on a few things happening today.

 

[Jaesun]

Uh oh.

Maybe we could have a fundraiser to hire prostitutes for DU, he's been sitting on that throne for so long that it looks like he could use some laying down

BTW, MCA just posted on his blog about characterization in Eternity

I wish I had $250 for an MCA troll.

As it is, you'll have to be happy with my $10.

 

[Undead Phoenix]

for $250 I'd damn well want MCA to come over and tattoo that troll onto my body

 

[Gold]

Damn I want a Gold Troll. *shrugs* I will give what I can next Friday. Fuck you DU, any non-retarded non-Bio/Beth/etc wRPG needs to be supported.

 

[Grunker]

Fuck you DU

you've been on the codex since 2007 and you can't spot a troll when you see one

how have you survived this far

 

[Excommunicator]

It was a misjudgement to think people will pay such a high price for a cartoon a second time around

Yup, I agree with that. Everyone who was in the market for a $250 custom troll has, most likely, already got one. Also, there seem to be a lot less people enthusiastic about PE than there were about W2 here on the Codex, which is even more important than the MCA trolls IMHO. When takeing all that into account, I'm ready to bet that there will be less $250 (and up) contributions this time around.

 

[Infinitron]

Think of something else you can do for us in exchange for $250, MCA!

Don't get me wrong, I would love a custom MCA troll, but I'm already $250 down from donating on the PE KS page, and between a custom troll and donating $250 to some other worthy Kickstarter project, I would rather help another team as well than get an, admittedly awesome, troll.

I don't mind DU's smarmy attitude, but could someone at least fix the gold counter?
