Community The bribing of Whalenought is now complete

Our campaign to raise $500 $1,500 for Staglands was successfully completed yesterday, raising an impressive:

$1,518.56 USD​

Money which will be put to good use, putting some sort of horrible abomination of a Codex meme into the game. This makes the Codex contribution at just over 15% of the original $10,000 the KickStarter asked for.

The bribe money was sent via PayPal just now:



Our thanks goes to everyone who contributed. We hope to make you regret ever donating to the Codex as soon as possible.

Everyone who donated at least $15 to the Codex fundraiser will get a digital copy of the game. Along with knowing they helped get the NPC / Minion / Island / horrible abomination of a monster combination that will end up in the game itself.

For those who missed out, you've got 4 days left to make a direct contribution to Staglands via their KickStarter. The project is already successful with $20,772 raised (or $22,290 including our contribution) of the original $10,000 goal.

Do the people running the KS understand who it is they got in bed with?

I do recall them saying something along the lines of them being "both thrilled and somewhat terrified" when discussing the Codex on the KS comments, so I think they do have a fair idea.

The consequence of the crowdfunding explosion has been that "prestigious RPGCodex magazine" is no longer a joke.

Fixed. The joke is now on everybody else.

Did you use some special mensa skill to figure that out?

Will you guys quit with the putting of RPGCodex memes in video games already? It is getting ridiculous! The first time it was funny, but now it just looks like you're trying too hard.

 

[LeJosh]

Wish I could've backed this right now. It seems to be a good project.

I don't get paid until the 28th so does anyone know if there will be post-KS funding?

Here at the RPGCodex, we're great at shitting on all kinds of games, but when it comes to creativity, we suck donkey balls.

Well, actually, from a prestigious magazine we've now moved on to acclaimed publisher ranks.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Are we holding another contest for this?

 

[Infinitron]

Are we holding another contest for this?

I don't believe there's any need. Everybody who donated $15 gets a copy, and there's no actual Kickstarter reward giving more copies. $1500 is higher than their highest tier.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

I meant for whatever we're inserting into the game. Or is that decided already?

Or naive mark.

Was this the project with the monster full of scars and razor blades called "Dawn", or do I mix that up?

 

[JudasIscariot]

I too would like unobtrusive, lore-friendly additions. Something that a Codex member would recognize but also something that a non-Codexer could enjoy, if at all possible :D

Fuck non-Codexers...where the fuck were they this last decade while we were in purgatory?

Playing games instead of complaining about them on an obscure far-right internet forum.

Far-right? After perusing that terrible left v right thread in site feedback it appears this place is a hotbed of commie activity, overdue a round of denunciations and McCarthy-style hearings.

 

[Gragt]

And we send troublemakers to the gulag.

 

[VentilatorOfDoom]

Are you comparing the joys of Prosperland, your road to redemption, to the horrors of a commie gulag?

 

[Gragt]

L'a encorle piou boljémoï?

 

[Doctor Sbaitso]

I vote for an Isle of Codexia, where the player discovers a reclusive race of Codexian Trolls. The PC can sympathize, culminating in The Battle of the Codexian Trolls versus Dawn_ and her minion Cocktopus

So, how much has the Codex wasted sent to all the various KS since we started becoming publisher-like?
