Between now and August 10, we're going to add the sales of GURPS PDFs and print books to our Kickstarter funding total for purposes of unlocking stretch goals. NOTE: In addition to your pledges, every dollar spent on GURPS PDFs and print books on Warehouse 23 between August 2, 2022, and August 10, 2022 count toward the Kickstarter stretch goals. As of August 2: $0 in Warehouse 23 sales are applied to the Kickstarter funding when calculating stretch goal unlocks.

I did my part - spent about $115 on GURPS Classics and $6 tier on the Kickstarter. :-)

I saved up for this one for a while - I may be involved in it, but I still want all the other articles others wrote.

Just giving my perspective, not criticizing anyone.
You're making the assumption that $15,000 revenue = a good thing. Please keep in mind Kickstarter and credit card fees, royalties, customer service time ("No, that was not Warehouse 23 credit. Yes, you must spend it in BackerKit. No, we won't hold the credit forever. Finish by the deadline, please, or we will be forced to refund your pledge."), as well as the accounting time necessary to resolve everything properly.

If the expenses equal $16,000, and the funding was $15,000, it ultimately didn't work. I cannot emphasize enough how much time went into the same thing: "No, that was not Warehouse 23 credit. That was BackerKit credit. You must spend it in BackerKit by the deadline."

If the experience had gone well, then we would have repeated the offer.

(Please note that the above numbers are illustrative and not exact.)

Backing the Pyramid but have the others and for the sale, I've saved all I can afford with the Gurps Bundles of Holding.

That's an excellent way to put it...

Yet I'm still looking over the sale! :)

Due to increased and unexpected expenses last month and the fact I already have the stuff in the higher tier pledges that I can afford, I pledged $20 at the $6 tier yesterday. I wasn't expecting any backerkit stuff, just doing my part to keep GURPS in the black. ;)

Did my part with $6 on Kickstarter and about $40 on GURPS Classics (sadly I'm running out of ones that interest me).
