MOB Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 As we approach 100K, a new (old) Greg Stafford adventure has been added to the RQ Old School Sourcepack at no extra cost - http://basicroleplaying.org/topic/4180-new-old-greg-stafford-adventure-the-sea-cave/?do=findComment&comment=64679 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, right, but General Panic was saying that he "do[es]n't really put a value on pdf's", so he presumably considers free PDFs to be meaningless/of no value.

jongjom Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 On 28/11/2015 12:27:49, General Panic said: I've never done a kickstarter before and will back this one. But as I don't really put a value on pdf's (I like physical), I'm a bit unsure what the implications are - looks like for printed product the top tiers effectively don't offer you anything more than rune-lord priest at $250 - so the volumes of collected unpublished material are effectively being priced at $800. Is that right or am I missing something? In effect you are paying $750 - $800 more than the Rune Lord-Priest for two to three hardback books of unpublished material. I take it by inference that this is also an unspoken way of supporting Chaosium / Moon Design by giving funds for their RQ revival / attempt at world domination.

Please note, when you buy the PDF of any stretch goal book you also get that amount credited towards the purchase of the printed book. For example, the "Plunder" PDF is $5. If you purchase the PDF you will get a $5 credit you can use towards the purchase of the printed Plunder book from Chaosium when it is printed later in 2016. Thus, if it ends up having a retail price of $15, you'll be able to purchase the printed book from Chaosium for $10. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smiorgan Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I have a question (or two) on character sheets ... Will the character sheets included in RQ classic reprint be an exact reproduction of the Sapienza sheets of RQ2? And most importantly, will the snake sheet be included? We need more snake sheets. P.S. Did you know that in Italian Sapienza means wisdom, learning or lore? It was great to play with the sheet of lore! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Meints Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 The top backers are getting a special "thank you" reward for their generous patronage. That backer level isn't just about the value of each specific item, it's about their belief in the project and their support of what we are trying to do. The chart below is not official just yet, as we are making sure it has no typos or mistakes. If you spot any, please let me know. Quote Hope that Helps,Rick Meints - Chaosium, Inc.

Does this mean the top tier gets copies of both the Hardback and Leatherette books - or a typo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any chance of having a level that has all the PDFs but not the hardcopies? I no longer buy hardcopy but would like to get the PDFs. I know that I can up my pledge to include the PDFs, but I am not sure how much each PDF costs, so it is difficult. 1 Quote Simon Phipp - Caldmore Chameleon - Wallowing in my elitism since 1982.
