Some projects need time to grow slowly and flower into a display over months or years.
Tales of the Old Margreve is not one of them; it has rocketed along toward a full commission status faster than any other project to date. While the project is not yet at a green light status, it is now 60% funded, and it will likely hit the fully-funded mark by March 1, if not sooner.
Why the success? Part of it is surely the quality of past projects, part of it the popularity of the Pathfinder RPG. But I think two other factors are also surely at play: 1) The project’s themes make it uniquely suitable for use with any homebrew setting, and easy to import into Golarion, the Forgotten Realms, or other classic fantasy settings. And 2) the lead designers, Tim and Eileen Connors, are well-known for their superior work for both Paizo and Open Design in the past. Reputation matters.
The price of patronage goes up once the commission is met (and hey, we’re starting brainstorming monsters and more already!), so it’s a good idea to sign up today.
And . . . I’m in for senior patronage. WOo!
Welcome aboard, see you in the Forums!
I dozed off while painting in my studio this afternoon and dreamt I was lost in a dark wood where something ancient followed my footsteps and whispered some dark and terrible secret to me that now I can’t remember. I awoke to find I’m a senior patron.
How did that happen?
The forest claims its own. :)
Hmmm, I may just pay for this next paycheck. Nice to see this get support as fast as it has.
Slow down guys! You’ll have it commissioned before I get paid again. :(
We are closing in on 75% today, but the rate has slowed down a bit.
Price will go up when we hit 100%, but my guess for that date is March 1 or 2.
Wolfgang: The prices across the board go up when 100% is reached? Meaning, if I want to upgrade to a senior patronage, I should do it sooner rather than later to save myself some green.
That’s correct. The price increases to $29.95 for basic patronage and likewise for senior patronage. It helps keep the commissioning phase from dragging on and on when everyone really wants to get started.
I expect we’ll get the green light on the commission fairly soon, so it is worth upgrading now to save some money.
