Regarding the LP, isn't this the same guy who we posted about earlier and all hated? I don't know, I didn't mind him, though I find it odd that he's awesome now.

People seem to either really like him or really hate him. He utterly lacks the gravelly quality that I like in Henriksen's voice, and to me his voice is hard to listen to as it sounds like he eats cotton balls all day. e: To say nothing of his characters, that is.

Regarding DNF: terrible game, but people had been waiting for DNF for years. I mean, you had people posting receipts from a decade ago where they pre-ordered the drat thing. The gap between Wasteland/Wasteland 2 is definitely larger in terms of years, but the developers of Wasteland 2 haven't been saying "ok guys seriously THIS year Wasteland 2 is coming out!" for the past decade.

It might not be a bad idea to try and raise $5K between us in order to get an SA statue in the game. If it worked for RPG Codex it'd work for us. I'm sure most of the people who contributed to their statue fund-raiser also threw in $15/$50 for their own personal copies of the game. The game gets more money, we get a giant grenade statue in the game or something.

So many of the users from here who would have donated have already done so though, although I suppose I could always withdraw the donation and channel it through the group thing. The problem is that we don't all get copies that way.

I'd toss a little bit in. I say we just start a donation pool and the top 30 contributors get the digital copies, and the biggest contributor will get the signed box and whatnot. Everyone else will have to just be happy with helping to get the statue in the game, and consider their donation a little extra tossed Fargo's way on top of the contribution they already have on Kickstarter.

The problem is that we don't all get copies that way. No, this would be like "Donate to the SA Grenade" or whatever we pick and we gather the amount, 2.5K I think for personal items, then we would make the purchase for the site with the money as one BONUS transaction to raise even more money for the game and do something for the site and get SA into the game. Whatever goodies it comes with, we would raffle away to goons who donated. What is a good way to pool money without losing it to fees and poo poo? I'll start off on the "Get SA into Wasteland 2" project with $250, but we need to form a fully realized idea and goal before we start throwing around money.

Other than the 5% take, it sounds like a job for kickstarter Maybe we could get them to waive the 5% fee since it's a pass-through to a different kickstarter, but then pooling resources for greater rewards might become a weird meta-kickstarter trend and now my head hurts.

What method did RPG Codex and NMA use? I'd donate for a SA Grenade, or maybe putting Lowtax in. $2,500 seems an attainable goal, if everyone kicks in a little bit.

You'll also receive a signed Collector's Edition, boxed version and 10 digital copies of the game to do what you'd like with, in addition to a lv4 Desert Ranger medal of honor limited edition collectible. A grenade in the game that does "SomethingAwful" The abandoned SomethingAwful Corporate Office Lowtax, the hammer sales man Leonard J Crabs? JeffK? Game Dudes? Cliff Yablonski? Then we could give away the digital copies, the award (would we get all 4 or just the level 4?) and the book to people who donated.

It would be pretty easy to figure out what to do at $5,000, though, since the grenade would be a beautiful statue. Of course, we would then still have to decide what to do about our $2,500 NPC/weapon/location. We could put Lowtax in the game, but obviously he may have no interest in being in the game.
