The Fantasy Trip Live on Kickstarter Now!

Every KS campaign has a lull in the middle. It's the plateau between the massive interest at the start and the surge of new backers and pledge increases at the end. I'm glad the numbers look so good at this point, and I suspect the campaign is already a much bigger success than was originally expected.

>1000% funded is a pretty significant milestone. Being on track to hit close to 300k has got to be very gratifying for SJG. This has to bode well for keeping the base products in print and for new products for at least the next few years.

Go to the TFT campaign page and first click Manage your pledge. From there click Change your pledge. From there you should be able to bump up your pledge amount by the cost of the add-ons. Be sure not to change your actual pledge level, unless that's something you intend to do as well.

Thanks, I did that and did not understand what to do, I guess.

I changed the amount but there is no indication of what the pledge covers, which was supposed to be the Companion.

Yes, there isn't really any way to tell the creators what your increase is for right now. That's typically done after the campaign, usually through something like Backerkit.

OK, thanks. I've never done a kickstarter before, intended to get in on the Ogre ODE but decided not to spend the money at that time and bought retail later instead.

You need to make a note somewhere so that you don't forget what the extra money was for (it gets more complex if you add several things and then later just see that you have a total of "X" extra dollars on your pledge). The reason I say this is because sometimes the Backerkit notification (where you tell Steve and company what all that extra money was for) might not be sent out for several months, depending on the timeline of the Kickstarter. Since they want to try and turn this one pretty fast, you should get the Backerkit e-mail within a month or two of the close of the campaign, but better safe than sorry.

(War Story) I backed Horror on the Orient Express from Chaosium back in about 2012 or so, and it was almost two years before they sent out the surveys to find out what all we wanted. I had to try and recreate what I wanted from very dim memory and the old Kickstarter page, which took me quite a while to do; from that I learned; "always write everything down!" (/War Story)

Thanks a bunch! I only plan on getting The Companion, probably won't have any extra money before the Kickstarter closes but good to know, in case I get some more money;)
