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

You can raise, lower, (and I think cancel and reinstate) your pledge as often as you like during the campaign. And as ActionButler notes, the Pledge Manager/Backerkit that will open after the campaign ends will let you pay more in if you want/need to.

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

What about those cool replica Imperial coins from the old Star Wars Monopoly set? How do we think they feel about those?

I'm hoping for a spike in the value of Bitcoin in about 30 days time...

Note: Spiking your pledge really high to unlock stretch goals and then reducing afterwards is an incredibly bad thing to do. Not only is it a jerk move, but you could feasibly disrupt the entire kickstarter by making the company pledge to do something and then deny them the money they need to actively do it.

Indeed. Pledge what you can afford. Don't be that guy/girl/*insert gender here*

I'm reasonably sure you didn't used to be able to de-pledge enough to reduce below a goal level. Has that changed?

;D Today is the day 40 minute to go. Well I' m Kickstarter vet here. I got burned :bang: by one which was my first one. Done 3 CAV they deliver if China don't jack them in production. The others so I 'm some what happy so far. I' am not a superbacker that for sure. Start out small and see what happen and DON'T GO CRAZY WITH THE MONEY. Relax ride it out. So it begin we see what happen.

Can't say, as I've never tried to do it.

So is it just me, or are we 28 minutes from Kickstarter time? My boss just asked me why I have my credit card out on my desk! :drool:

Cheers,

Mad

Also a good way to get banned from kickstarter.

We have exceeded most values for "Soon" and are rapidly approaching unity with "Now"...I have commenced F5-ing my Kickstarter search for "Battletech".

A minimal amount of research on my part turned up Confrontation – Classic, which managed to end with ~2/3 the pledge money it initially gained. Looking at the goals and the cash they have to achieve them, I can see why.

That said, I'm fairly sure somebody tried that in an early reaper kickstarter and couldn't retract the money (My heart bleeds.)

No, believe it or not. I was on with Randall when he pushed "the Button," it went live at 1 p.m. EST as planned.
