I never used W23 for the PDFs before. According to the KS site:

Quote:
PDFs will be delivered through our online store, Warehouse 23. If you have a Warehouse 23 account, the PDFs will be added to your library so that you can download the files again and again for your personal use. If you do not have a Warehouse 23 account, you will be sent access to the files once and will not have a second chance at downloading the material. We highly recommend that you create a Warehouse 23 account today.
There will surely be errata in such a big work (nobody is perfect). What's the W23 way of doing updates/patches/fixes (it's 2018 after all...)?

Everything you buy from Warehouse 23, including whatever Kickstarter rewards are applicable, are always available for download from there. You'll always get the latest version, so if there have been any fixes or updates since the last time you downloaded, then hit it again for the latest.

W23 also notifies you via email when updates get posted to items that you've bought, so you know to go get the updated version.

* get about 1/12 to 1/8 X per day for every day in between (3-4X total)

So about 5.6X to 8X, with 6-7X being mid of the trend. TFT did about $50K per day for two days, and so $5K per day over the middle of the campaign would be a benchmark. If TFT continues to outperform, perhaps it's headed for $400K or more. But I'd expect $280,000 minimum.
I’d say that’s, “Good news, everyone!”

That seems like a pretty reasonable analysis, and we'll know more in a few days when we see what the daily plus is over a week or so. It also jibes with my entirely unstatistical "feeling" that we're talking somewhere between $250K and $500K as a practical guesstimate.

I would note, however, that the new international shipping costs may cause a significant bump in pledges over the next 24 - 36 hours! ;-)

I was thinking about this earlier today, too. I figure 200K is pretty much a given, with a good shot at 300K, and 400K wouldn't surprise me.

I also suspect SJG is keeping an eye on the number of backers, too, though - that's a great indicator of the size of the market for the future product line (which I sincerely hope will be large).

Good point. I note that the Dungeon Fantasy Kickstarter had 1587 backers and by contrast, OGRE DE scored 5512 backers.

Currently we stand at 1382 backers (after 2.5 days) so I'd say we're currently showing a positive trend. ;-)

And there we go; the $110K goal is down. With 1436 backers. In three days. Nice.

This is what initially held me off! (Located in Sweden.)
