Tim Schafer wins the Kickstarter thread

"The Order of the Stick" is a webcomic drawn in stick figure style that spoofs D&D and that has been around for 9 years. Now, there's an ongoing project at kickstarter to reprint all the "order of the stick" compilation books that are out of print, starting with the third book in the series, "War and XPs". If the project gets funded at 57.000$ by the end of a month, all the pledgers will get at least one fridge magnet and one exclusive story drawn by the author. And if there's enough money, it will go towards the reprinting of the next book that requires it the most, "No Cure for the Paladin Blues"...
Wait, what I'm hearing? That the project got funded on the first day alone? That it reached 100.000$ on its second day? What are you telling me? That it got to 250.000$ after the first week alone?! That it's now over 500.000$ just after TWO weeks?! That it's about to become the fifth most succesful project in Kickstarter history, and soon will get 1000% funded?
Woah, that's just crazy!! What's more crazy, it's that the creator has been updating nonstop every time a goal (or three) has been reached, which is the same as saying every day, adding new rewards and prizes for all pledgers, plus drawing a pretty fun graph mini-comic in each update. Right now, all people that pledge 10$ or more get like 100 pages worth of exclusive material in PDF format, plus a magnet and free wallpapers. That alone is an incredible deal! But if you spend at least 25$ you also get an OotS poster, stickers, notepads, and even a coloring book! You even have the chance to buy any combination of the compilation books in the same pledge, plus the three specials.
So, if you're a fan of Order of the Stick like me, you can't let pass this opportunity. If you aren't, then it's the perfect time to become one!! And in any case, just looking at the amazing (and ongoing!) success of this project spiraling out of control day after day is hilarious enough to be worth a look.
If this post count as spam, I'll edit the post to instead link to some of the gaming and comic websites that are covering the news. I just couldn't resist spreading the news after this incredible turn of events.
