    I might be able to resurrect that, assuming my various hard drives haven't eaten shit between then and now.

    My highly scientific sampling of two projects' funding on Kicktraq tells me that projects tend to receive 3-5 times their first day take by the time the Kickstarter ends.

    Between Sarna and the MUL yo can dig up a lot of info in a pinch, too.

    At almost $806K in Kickstarter, 1000 retweets, almost 2800 FB announcement likes and nearing 2000 shares, less than 300 away from 20000 FB page likes, 160 followers away from the first twitter goal... they're really making hay for fifteen hours in.

    I may have been ambitious. We may not crack $1 mil in the first 24 hours

    Yeah, I'm kind of getting the vibe that if we make the final strech goal, it will be rather close. Fingers crossed!

    I can't help but feel that the price brackets are a bit weird and may be hampering donations. As someone said before, it's weird that there is a huge jump from $275 to $1000 with nothing between. They should have also offered a $5-10 pledge for just some of the artwork. It would have been perfect for people that were nervous about investing in kickstarter without having something certain to show for it.

    From what I know the PayPal amount is not added to the total?

    Remember them saying that somewhere as it can't track the PayPal side but it will be added to the total at the end.

    After doing some Sarna research, here are the relevant sourcebooks to study if you want some history up to 3025 and maybe the start of the War of 3039.

    House Davion (The Federated Suns)
    House Kurita (The Draconis Combime)
    House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)
    House Marik (The Free Worlds League)
    House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)
    The Periphery
    Mercenary's Handbook
    20 Year Update - actually covers 3025-3045ish
    Technical Readout: 3025 - includes Unseen
    Technical Readout: 3025 Revised - removes Unseen and introduces downgraded Star League mechs
    Technical Readout: 3026 Revised - vehicles

    Also, we would be remissed to not mention that the original 3025 character art was exceptional. :glee:

    Of course, I mean who could deny the original inspiration for Murderface?

    I might have at least some of those sourcebooks in pdf on my home comp. When I get home I'll check and any that I have I'll host up on dropbox for peeps to download.

    List of novels by era

    Most of the good ones like the Warrior trilogy start a little after 3025 but still feature relevant characters. Wolves on the Border is excellent.
