Thanks, Jim. Now I remember. The one which was not on indiegogo as usual!
For some reason I can't remember, I didn't pick the dungeon of the unknown but the 3 other ones....
And now, I regret: I should have pledge for the four modules... sad

Hi Jim,

Will there be some printed copies of Dungeon of the unknown and of the ginger bread princess?

Or did I miss something?

BR,

Fred

Yes. And I'm waiting for the vote! smile

I believe that I will not be the only guy interested in the exclusive print adventure, but paying $150 to get it is too much,
You would probably get my money if you were proposing a $50/$60 pledge for ref book + adventure.

More over, as a PGS member, I'm not really exited by stretch goals for reprinting adventures I purchased some time ago... smile

My gardening faithfull pledge is likely to be lost. I'll repledge.
I'll grab the bag instead on Green's adventure.
Other gardening society membres doing web would be able to fund  4 or 5 campaigns...

Hum, hum...
It looks like the scattering of the highest pledges that Jim was fearing is occuring and that people are waiting for being sure to win before putting their "big" pledges according to what I could see in French forums....
Big names are attracting mostly small pledges...

Poor blighters, but I did not pledge on it, as I tried to follow Jim recommendation to pile the big pledges.

Well, the thing I don't like in your idea,  is that I suspect there are a few popular "names" that will attract anyway people and loyal followers. So I believe that a few campaigns will be founded without Pembrooktonshire Gardenning Society members and other big pledgers' help.
So it may be counterproductive if we stack our pledges on them. So you would  tend to wait a few days to see for starting the stacking of big pledges...
When will you start the advertising campaign?

Without the "polling" it will be a bit more difficult to team up...
You can still start to pledge on your favorite candidate, and during the very last days or hours, if you see that your favorite will not be funded, then you pledge on another campaign.
But this is not an option for me, as I should be on holidays during the last days of july in a remote location without even cellular phone coverage... smile

So... Who else want to go with me on Poor Blighters by Sparks and Sparks and Allen ? smile
It reminds me Glen Cook's Silver Spike.

Dos this forum supports a kind of polling système?

A few other questions, Jim.
Is it possible to refuse the money in case of a flexible funding? or are you obliged to take the money and pay the fee?
Is it possible to change a funding from fixed to flexible once the campaign as been launched?

I really think the campaigns that do get funded will be because of the bundle pledges, so trying to separate those out will be counterproductive to getting anything funded.

Yes, but due to the importance of the pledge, most of the highest pledges will be done when the "gain" seems probable. So during the last days or when at least it seems that "enough" campaigns will be funded.

Another option is that you finish the bunble pledge campaign before the end of the other campaigns, and then reuse the amount of cash you get to fund as many campaigns as can during the last day of the campaigns.
Of course, indiegogo will take twice their fee on these pledges...

That's what the $1 Upsell perk is for, you can enter any amount there, and use that to upgrade your contribution.

I meant of course after the official end of the campaign... smile

I'm a bit skeptical on the results if you ask "us" to organise ourselves.

My suggestion would be that you create a 19th campaign just for the high pledges, possibly starting from the first Pembrooktonshire Gardening Society members pledge at 160$.
Let's call it the 2012 Pembrooktonshire Gardening Society Charity Fundraising Campaign!

People who are not interested in many campaigns or really interested in one campaign will pledge on the corresponding campaigns.
When the campaigns are over, with the amount of cash of the 19th campaign, you distribute the cash among the campaigns that were not funded and try to maximize the number of "campaigns" you can bring to 6000 USD.
The algorithm should simply be:
you finance the unsuccessful campaigns by their order of popularity (from highest total of pledge to the lowest)
With that system, the choice of the funded campaigns will not be yours but will be the vox populi.

The gardening extra looks manageable for my budget.
The gardening collectors is really exciting. Will we get a chance at some point to upgrade our contribution?
