Ogre Kickstarter

[GEVJockey]

1,862 units have been pre-ordered.

The last 24 hours increased the amount pledged by about $12K and increased the backer count by 67 to reach 1741 (Avg falling to 3 backers per hour)

Average pledge per backer jumped to $141.67. (All $995 slots pledged plus a third $1,977 pledge helped to increase the average).

At the current pledge per backer level we'll need to see another 24 backers to surpass $250K. If we maintain the 3 new backers per hour rate, we would reach that total by early Saturday morning.

Right now, less than a $1000 and it'll break $250k. Who else is watching it? It's like the countdown to the ball dropping in Times Square.

I'm watching.

Woo-hoo!

I've gotten bored with it. Ten days and all it's done is go up, up, up. :)

And it's now over a quarter million.

$250,083. Ho hum.

It certainly seems plausible that Ogre will not only crush D-Day Dice by pledge dollars, it will crush it by number of backers, too. Can it get another 358 backers? I think so. :-)

So I think I did a "bad" thing yesterday.

Intrigued by this Kickstarter campaign (and having owned a original black plastic pocket box edition of Ogre as far back as 1985) I ponied up $150 to get the new iteration of the game and some goodies. I was aware of the lack of shipping outside the US (I'm in Canada), but my plan was to have it shipped to a friend in Tennessee who'd forward it on to me.

But I think I made a boo-boo.

When buying it through Amazon there was no option to select a shipping address that was different from the billing address. By the time I realized this I'd already committed to purchase. I understand that shipping to Canada will probably be offered at an upcharge, but is there a way of locking this in now (or conversely, going back and getting my friend's address locked in as the shipping destination?)

Thanks in advance.

I'd be willing to bet hard cash that SJG will be more than willing to help straighten this out. It's totally their style.

I suppose you could cancel your Kickstarter pledge, give your friend in Tennessee $150, and have your friend make the pledge with his address.
