I got 3 retweets. One guy replied 'How much?'

You're 3 times more popular than me then

I'm going to swing by each of em to speak to' the owners. Have a pint in each. Rude not to. They won't know what's hit em by time I get to the Beer Engine.

Young man. It appears that your girlfriend's mother is pestering me to contribute. A remarkably sneaky tactic if I may say so. Well done.

 

[Steve Mackan]

You been peeking at my to:do list?

The Dem Blades franchise has categorically not been hacking into S2 4SU's backend and stealing Foxy's ideas or to do list.

Nah then. I can make guess as to your identity, but won't on here for, you know, reasons... JMS has evidently served me well

Cheers pal.

Could you not speak to The Crab to see if he can get Big Vern to intimidate a few poor souls into pledging too if you're needing extra numbers?! [/QUOTE]

The Crab I'm assuming we can come to some arrangement. All ears. Do what you do best.

When it comes to extracting money, Vern is more of a blunt instrument than a scalpel, but of course I'd be more than happy to assist a fledgling business get off the ground (if it does, it's more than the planes of Crab Airlines usually manage). Your product seems to be of a high standard (if your blogs are anything to go by) and you have quality contributors. given that I specialise in sub standard goods and services, i see no conflict of interest and am happy to help

I’m in - when will I be asked for my delivery address?

Thanks! Once the KickStarter campaign has ended, all backers will be contacted to provide an address so that we can post out to you.

 

[BridBladesman]

I’m in, so have pledged...looking forward to reading it

Steve Mackan, any chance of the number of Rambler rewards being extended?

I would love to. We did a run of 30 as opposed to 50 because we didn't imagine that it would be quite so popular. Unfortunately, we just don't feel very comfortable amending 'limited edition' to 'not quite so limited.' We are likely to do another limited bundle before the campaign is finished, but it will be different.

That said, the fanzine reward will include one of the stickers from the ramblers reward, but no fixture pullout I'm afraid.

Thanks all. Will be in touch with postage details as soon as the campaign is finished, so keep an eye on the email you used for the KickStarter.

I was only here for the fixture pull out and you should have had more faith in your fellow Blades

I'll jump in on the next limited bundle, as I don't check in here as much as I used to so missed out.

If you'd like my fixture pullout Bob it's all yours. I'll chuck it in with my book

Does it come with annoying pop ups like the website?

I for one like the pop-ups.
So kind of them to fix my laptop with only a couple of clicks and the downloading of an inconspicuous file.

Never mind then

 

[jt64]

Chipped in for it, why not

Why not, indeed! Cheers pal.

'Baggers Bundle' will be out over the weekend if you're still interested.

Done, but confused the fuck out of me!

What happens next?

Much appreciated mate.

It's quite simple really. As a middling-to-poor confidence trickster, I will attempt to run away with all monies accrued and start a new life in Bali...

Ahem. KickStarter works as a 'campaign.' We raise funds to produce our product and offer the product as a reward for pre-orders. The campaign ends two weeks on Saturday and money is only taken if we reach our target. At that point we'll make sure we have everyone's correct P&P details. Then, as soon as it's hot off the press, we send it to you.

(We have all the content already, we are in the latter stages of designing layouts and then printing, packaging etc.)

If you're a twitterer, there's a competition - Here - to win no.31 of the 31 Rambler's Reward packages.

We've decided, in the interest of putting all our efforts into getting the Annual right, not to do any more rewards.

 

[Steve Mackan]

The KickStarter was successfully funded yesterday and in large part due to the support of people on this forum. I am properly grateful for that.

We'll be getting our final edit off the printers soon and lo, a new fanzine is on its way. You can't pre-order any more copies online for the moment, but there will be further sales online and offline (AKA pubs around the ground and the odd shop).

 

[Steve Mackan]

UPDATE:
Dem Blades Annual will be despatched on the 20th August.

I do hope all of you who have ordered a copy will enjoy the read. Those who haven't ordered (and would like to) will be able to do so next week, when our online shop is 'up'.

I can't thank you all enough for giving me, and others, the opportunity to create a big, fat, Blades fanzine. Your support, as in you the cabal of forum-goers, accounted for 60% of the final amount raised. None of this possible without you. *Cap doff*

And - as quick as you can type 'glttl' or 'weerz foxys cut' - I'm happy to say that myself and a couple of other posters will soon announce a bit of fundraising for the site, which I hope you'll get involved in.

Thanks again!
