I don't need a digital copy, would like to be in the raffle. I'll double my donation toward the end of the drive if we need more $ to defeat the Watch, otherwise I wanna add beta access thru the kickstarter

Making it a golden shower for the watchtower seems kind of appropriate

Codex should piss blood.

Codex should piss blood.

Did someone knee us in the kidneys or something? Or did we take a soccer ball to the groin?

 

[Rivmusique]

Angthoron I need everything I can get from my donation as I am poor and only donated through the Codex

We're edgy. VERY edgy.

Ouch.

 

[Ulminati]

Shame there's no dragon commander option in the codex donation drive, or I'd transfer my KS pledge over.

 

[Ulminati]

Anyway.

Since it looks like we're definitely in the 5k+ tier, I'll throw this out there for the "design a combo" part:

Bedsheet + Barrel of tar -> Sticky Cover.
Short-range/melee consumable item. On hit, will slow enemy and reduce their accuracy for x turns or until a str check is passed. Small chance of giving a blindness debuff. (Sheet over head). While covers are stuck to an enemy, they are highly flammable.

Angthoron Time to negociate some addons?

Who needs tar to make sticky bedsheets?

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Sticky Cover should provide the enemy with health regen while he is afflicted by it, to prevent abuse.

Spoiler

Cue players abusing it anyway by casting the spell on themselves

Angthoron Time to negociate some addons?

I'll contact Swen with a "100% real deal end-PP campaign confirmation" and see if I can get Codex a few Alpha/Beta keys to spread the good word and keep things interesting.

Edit: Done contacted. I'm starting out careful by asking for 5 alpha + 5 beta keys (more if he wishes to offer more) to hand out to donors, and 1a to the administration to keep for a "Professional Codex Reviewer". Maybe DU will write another Ship Simulator EXTREME style review...


NOTE: If someone has a (better?) suggestion regarding this (for example, how to handle "addons"), I'm all ears. Or eyes.

Well the perfect deal would be: people get anything they want provided the value is less than what they pledged. Plus a bunch of digital copies for the poor. Some people will ask for nothing or something significantly less, so Larian is still a winner here. And maybe we should drop all the rewards listed in first post and forget about the raffle.

It would be, yes, but it becomes incredibly hard to track these things, starting with the fact that I don't actually have visibility to people's donated amounts, rather, just the general bracket they're in. In Top 10, the split is quite large already, for example (though there are some opt-outs in T10 already).

What I can do is, if people themselves know the general level of what they could be entitled to, either from KS tiers or from Codex Deal (updated soon, methinks), and they shoot me a message with their wishes. I'll compile a pretty comprehensive XLS with all the necessary info and then give it to Swen to do with as he wishes. I believe that as long as we're reasonable, the guys at Larian will offer us all the cool "swag" that we want. Right now I'm just making a general outline of things and writing down what people might want.

But yeah, the amount of opt-outs would surprise you guys, lots of people that want either nothing, or just the raffle. Of course, this doesn't mean that the stuff they're forfeiting automatically goes into some sort of a "pool".

Seems like Watchwitz is getting a better deal:

At $2500:
Listed in the credits at Dragon level.
We get to create an item.
We get to define a NPC.
We get to create a statue.
In addition there will be a watch tower in the game (like our logo). In the neighborhood a lore book is hidden inamed "The History of the Watch". The contents of this book is to be defined by us, but needs to be in the spirit of the game. Reading the book will give the player a benefit related to their skills.

At $5000:
We wil also get a jailor (unless I'm able to strike an even better deal).
In Original Sin, you have to watch your step: guards are watching your every move. Citizens react to your actions. If you misbehave (stealing, killing, vandalizing), you may well be thrown in jail.
We get to name the jailor, our logo on his clothes and can make him look like one of us.

To select who will get what, I will write down each name on a piece of paper. However depending on the amount you have donated your name can be written down on more pieces of paper. Whenever I draw a name, that person gets to select one of the availabel rewards. Then I draw the second name, etc, etc.
If a name has been drawn once it will not be drawn a second time. So you can win only one of the rewards listed above.

I use the following schema to determine how many pieces of paper there will be with your name:

Donation Entries
$1 - $9 1
$10 - $24 2
$25 - $49 3
$50 - $99 4
$100 - $149 5
$150 - $199 6
$200+ 7

I'd gladly up my donation by a $100 if I knew I would be getting a boxed copy.

 

[Angthoron]

Actually, and you'll see it soon, we are getting a better deal at the moment.

 

[Zeriel]

OH GOD, THE HUMANITY.

 

[Angthoron]

Actually, and you'll see it soon, we are getting a better deal at the moment.

Mind you though, I'm pretty sure Watch will ask to match our terms. I just hope we won't end up with something petty like tweaking the numbers on Special Cool Shit, which'd be completely lame. I'm just asking for some cherries on top, please to keep that in mind.

 

[MicoSelva]

Angthoron
My dream is to get a beta key, but that's probably out of the question with my modest $20 donation.
I can promise to do an LP, if there is no NDA.

If my current donation level would allow me a digital copy, please give it to Tytus instead. If not, I'll up it to the required level ($25), before the drive ends.

If someone does not want their signed poster, I can give it a new home.

So, uhm...

What is this supposed to be about? What cake? What do I tell him? Or has this already been worked out by Angthoron maybe?

(Yeah I haven't really been following all this stuff lately.)

Gragt mentioned he would like to bake them a cake. He can't come though, as he is at work.

Yeah, this was from Gragt, he wants to feed cake to Larian guys, but he didn't mention any specific time sadly, so I don't know if he can do it. I would, if I were in Belgium

 

[Aeschylus]

And in the 11th hour I have arrived to do my Patriotic Duty™ and add my $50 to the pile to defeat the pathetic pusillanimous heretics of the Watch. All hail glorious Codexia and such!

Also, Angthoron I would like the extra digital copy and entry into the raffle. Thanks.

So will I get a boxed copy or not at $100+?
