    What the hell - why not! Despite saying no originally, I'm joining the schizophrenic club and have thrown a small bit forwards. No need for a digital copy of the game, as I'm keeping my kickstarter donation there.

    So it is funded and it looks like it is going to be a great game. Now to just sit back and wait. And wait. And maybe participate on the Project Eternity forums.

    Is there a way to let them know that I was a $25 backer through SP so that I can get the "Backer" badge on their forums?

    Well now it's time to work on an idea for the item, correct? Any idea when Obsidian will send the form so we know what's needed?

    Also, I will be out of town without computer access for nearly two weeks, so don't go and rush through everything without me! :mad:

    I can't wait until we can make either an item or npc. It sounds like a nice way to immortalize this site. If we all manage to include our names in the item history, or have the npc mention each of us in an interesting way then that would be amazing.

    I doubt that will be possible. In the BG series most items had a story though so maybe they will here now and we could write something that unobtrusively points toward the SP community.

    Good question... would be a bit of a logistical problem as we'd need to verify every such user here and on the Obsidian's side though. I'm going to ask and we'll see.

    Yea, we'll start gathering ideas shortly so that we at least have a general direction. I like the idea of a spellcaster weapon or artifact. I doubt Obsidian will be sending out anything soon, but we'll see.

    P.S.
    I'll be processing the last dozen or so donations later today, so if you haven't received a mail from me yet, don't fret, it's coming! ;) I'm also hoping to award the achievement icons later today - Ineth's made a great one for us.

    The final amount we've gathered was $1579. I'll round it up to $1600 and cover the PayPal fees (about 5%, so my contribution in total is around $100).

    In short, the Sorcerer's Place community will be contributing a nice $1600 for the making of Project Eternity! :thumb:

    Not bad Tal. More than 1.5x the original goal, and we will be immortalized, plus some extras. Thanks for the update, and for managing this process along.

    In regard to game keys, I assume Obsidian will be asking for who needs what (Win/Mac/Linux, Steam/GoG) at some point and that you (Talauntain) will let us know when that time comes? Great! Thanks! :)

    I assume everyone will be able to choose which version they'll want to download from either Steam or GOG, yes.

    I've processed all the donations and sent out most of the remaining e-mails, but a couple of SPS accounts I hope to finish later today, along with the achievement icons. It's been a busy day, sorry for the wait!

    I got my email regarding an account, but since I'm leaving tomorrow, I don't see the point in doing anything right now. I'll respond when I get back.

    The shiny new Ouroboros awards have been handed out to all the SP immortalizers with BoM accounts! If you're among those who have donated but did not leave your username in a note with your donation, please contact me with your username either via PM or e-mail and I'll set you up as well.

    A big thank-you goes to Ineth for making such a great icon!

    Watching! It'll take me long enough to download the thing on my turtle internet connection, but I've been waiting two years so it's not like it's that much longer.
