MOB Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 The RQ Classic Kickstarter is over and we thank the 2176 backers for joining us on an epic journey! We have achieved so much these last 24 days. We hoped for 1000 backers, were amazed when we passed 1500, and stunned to have over 2000. That's almost one backer for every page of Classic RuneQuest we will be reprinting. Yep, over 2000 pages back into print, and even some things that have never been in print. The flurry of pledges at the end got us all the way to TrollPak. There was definitely a community Heroquest performed to break a bit of the troll curse that banished the boxed set decades ago. It was a pleasure to watch its return. Well done, indeed! Having 2176 backers believing in this project proves that there is a lot of magic left in RuneQuest. We have added another dimension to the Old School Renaissance via Old School RuneQuest. With $206,819 pledged, the backers have done their part, and now it is up to us to do the rest. The RQ Classic edition PDF, GM screen PDF, Handouts PDF and the Fangs PDF will all be made available for download shortly, once payments have been processed. The RQ Classic rulebook files have already been sent to the printers. Happy Holidays! Rick, Jeff, Neil, MOB and the Chaosium team 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

styopa Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Were we supposed to have received our classic source books yet? I'm pretty sure I bought the actual books, not pdfs, but haven't seen anything...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backerkit (the logistics folks doing fulfillment) have just sent out the notice to check your physical address in their records, because they're about to lock that down so they can ship. The e-mail arrived (in my e-mail box, and others) yesterday, with subject-line "Last call to update your shipping address for RuneQuest: Classic Edition!" If you didn't see it, check your spam folder; if you still don't have it, contact Rick directly via Backerkit, Kickstarter, or what-have-you.

One Friday back in 1979, unannounced, this kid knocked on Chaosium's door and showed some improvements he'd made for the RuneQuest rules. Steve Perrin liked what he saw and asked the boy to come back on Monday. This was his first paid gig. And that kid, Reid Hoffman, grew up to become a self-made tech billionaire... http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/06/business/reid-hoffman-of-linkedin-has-become-the-go-to-guy-of-tech.html Geekandsundry.com now take up the story... http://geekandsundry.com/can-playing-rpgs-make-you-a-billionaire/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
