I prepped the new employee I’m orienting today that I may be a bit distracted. Gonna be tough to keep my finger off F5 once I’ve signed up and dumped in my initial investment to see if we hit any stretch goals today.

There should be one here posted by somebody when it goes live. But Kickstarter will also have it as well.

I can't imagine them not linking the page here.

This is the first time participating in a kickstarter. First time I've truly wanted to join in, actually. Hard to believe I'm sitting here like a kid on Christmas morning waiting impatiently to open my presents.

 Not our first time spamming F5 for a battletech product 😉. Just got off work, decided to go to a local diner and drink coffee and eat breakfast while I wait. When it goes live I'll have just enough time before the coffee crash to throw money.

Internetz pro-tip:Create (or validate) your KickStarter account sooner than the "go live" timeframe so you don't have to juggle the log-in at that time when it does.

I've been logged in and sporadically refreshing the Catalyst page on Kickstarter for the last hour. :)

Just remember everyone, while it's fun to get caught up and want to pledge and everything quickly, no money changes hands until the end of the campaign, so there's plenty of time to peruse the page, figure out what you can afford, and go on from there.

And when deciding what you can afford, remember: Toilet paper is expensive. Real warriors use pinecones. :)

Just want to highlight this.

Look, there's a lot to grok on this page, with a lot of levels already shown and more to come. Take your time, and ask any questions you might have in the KS comments page. (Or here, if need be, but the KS page might be more helpful to others!)

Not having done a kickstarter, if I pledge, say, $20 can I later up that to, say, $1,000,000?

I believe that is exactly what the pledge manager function is for, yes.

Or the reverse.

But yes, I believe that's the case.

Yes, but it has to be real money -- they frown upon you pledging Monoply money......
