Bump me to $30, and if you need someone to chaperone this, I can take it for you if you want, or at least assist since it's a boring day at work. :)

One Unique Thing is meant to add a compelling dimension to characters, and they aren't mutually exclusive to "gritty."

Saving Private Ryan and Full Metal Jacket are both gritty, right? They both show the faceless, dehumanizing horror of war, the cheapness of life in battle, lots of dirt and desaturated photography. But they're also filled with compelling characters unique in their world.

You can turn to relationships, heritage, passed-down relics, exceptional learned skills, etc all before super powers or "literally a dragon."

Alternatively, if "last daughter of the rightful heir to the Empire" or "has a bow destined to kill a god" still aren't poo poo farmer enough, hack your One Unique Thing to be two sentences that represent the character's moral code.

Even boring simple stuff like "Never back down from a fight. Never leave a friend to die." gives the gm lots of hooks like fights that require you to leave your friends, or friends that want to fight you.

Also I would suggest each contributor get to contribute one idea, with priority going to the higher bidders.

What I would think we could do is set up a Google doc where everyone can contribute. Then once we have enough ideas we cut based on bid level.

Example: If I wanted Sparkly Vampires and ack wanted an Old Man talking to an Empty Chair but we only have room for one NPC - I'd have to have my idea redacted. (Nevermind that it sucks, I didn't bid enough :))

Honestly, all I want is for the living dungeon to be the 13th Age equivalent of the Tarrasque; a huge, immortal monstrosity whose origins are lost in time, roaming in the world devouring monsters and settlements to repopulate itself as adventures crawl around inside it, killing its inhabitants.

I was going to put $75 in to this, but if its already so well funded I'll just do $50 and let others join too.

I'm not sure how we should split the Dungeon up, but again it is only a Dungeon pitch, so I doubt we'd get that much detail in to it, but what do I know, right?

And I'd even be willing to not pitch a single idea... if I can veto stairs, meat shoes, or any other stupid loving internet or SA in joke.

edit: any references in the pitch to "goons ruin everything" will prove the point.

Simon or I collecting the funds and making the donation raises HUGE red flags for me. Kickstarter's language about not contributing to your own campaign is very, very emphatic, and if it got shut down now because of this I might have to walk off a balcony. So let's not.

Red_Mage lives a stone's throw away from me, if that increases people's confidence. (As long as he's comfortable handling the funds.)

Oh sweet we managed to fund it! Nice!

I wish I had some meaningful suggestion for who collects the money, but alas, I do not.

If we could send it to Wade himself, that could solve that problem.

EDIT: Nevermind then, if sending the money to Wade would cause problems, lets not risk it.
