It's been awhile since I ventured over to the OGRE Kickstarter Project that Steve Jackson Games had set up.
Originally, they had set up modest goals for the massive Designer's Edition that Steve Jackson himself dreamed of. Those were quickly obliterated, as were the numerous target goals they had set up since. When I had last checked up on the effort, it was nearing $250,000 and the quality and quantity of the components had been vastly improved.
This afternoon, I checked up and my jaw dropped:
$483,000
3,063 supporters
and still 7 days left!
This level of support has brought out the little things that would make any fan of OGRE break out in tears of joy:
• A computer version of OGRE by 2014 (platform TBD)
• An expansion for OGRE for 2013
• A pocket version of OGRE scheduled for Summer 2013. Kickstarter supporters will get a copy with their big box.
• The classic counter sheets can be added to the kickstarter orders as an extra as well as available at Warehouse 23
• OGRE FREAKIN MINIATURES!!!!!!!!!! Or at least their re-development
The upcoming goal will allow some poor sod a dream job:
$550,000: Interviews for a full time OGRE line developer.
$575,000: Still looking for ideas. The box is already about to explode. Can we just start working on reprints of the other classic games?
Check out OGRE Designer Edition on Kickstarter to see how crazy things have become.
