A month or two after the pledges are complete.
:lol
That reminds me: I need to tell the bank I'm making a $5,000 payment before they block the payment and Obsidian kick us out!
You'll get it at sometime after the Kickstarter ends. Most Kickstarters doing add ons in addition to reward tiers send out a "backer survey" once it is all over that will have you enter stuff like your shipping address and pick which add ons you want.

Wow. Paypal's exchange rate is so off. It's been $1USD = $0.95CAD since forever when the actual rate is close to $0.98. That's a massive difference lol.
EDIT: Bam! Money transfer has begun. So exciting!

You're not going to be screwed out of the amount due to transfer fees, right?

EviLore has already pledge for a custom portrait. Maybe a way to communicate with that, perhaps?
Maximum $100, but it should be covered up!
With that said, I am removing the link to Paypal from here as donation from here is closed.
Thank you, everyone!! Let make this the best inn ever!
*explodes*
Oh neat, I love stuff like that. Great idea.

One last post before I go:
You all donated graciously. With that, you all own this equally. You are equal stakeholders of this project and everyone's opinion here will be voiced. My job will be to provide your ideas and designs to Obsidian, and their remarks to you. I will do my best to ensure that both the community and developers are happy. I am not very creative or an artistic genius to come up with fantastic artwork as reference for Obsidian, so it's all up to you guys. I am also not that creative with words and expressions on how the Inn/Tavern, Weapon and NPC should look like (Dibs* on making the shield called "Trollbashers" painted in emblem similar to NeoGAF logo lol) so it's your job to explain in great detail to the devs what will be included (Hell, English is not even my first language!). If the stakes get higher, I will include you all in the discussion regularly (if the developer discussion ends up being a regular thing).
This is your Inn. Build it from scratch. No one will interfere with it's creation. Mods are very supportive, and so is the community. I thank everyone for being so open to volturnus and Vulcano's assistant's original vision, and I thank you for trusting in me for handling the transaction side of the business well. I also thank the mods for being very honest and open about it, and having little to no interference in this, and also for being equal stakeholders.
We fucking did it. Now we have to construct it! Forge it from the minds of hundreds of us that believed in this idea and thousands of others who watched over this and provided feedback. I don't know where this will go, but all I can say is that my interference will be zero. Your idea is as fantastic as the next person, and the community in collective will decide. There will be no hatred over an idea not being picked and no favoritism to avoid a great design over a lesser design because of the member's great presence in the forum.
I love you all equally and you've made my day like no one else can.
Thank you, and have a fantastic weekend!

I was going to add another $20 when I got home, but since it got funded I bumped my pledge up to $50 on the Kickstarter.
Now I've put $80 towards this game. Funny seeing I rarely buy games at fill price nowadays.

Someone earlier was musing about great game taverns?
- The Friendly Arm Inn (Baldur's Gate) - For nailing that sense of shelter and escape, whilst also providing your first real link to the world outside of Candlekeep. It feels like a real place.
- The Smouldering Corpse (Planescape: Torment) - For the clientele and conversation. Simply one of the most interesting spaces in any game, past or present.
- The Hairy Bear Inn (The Witcher) - For its bar brawls, dice poker, a distrusting barkeep and really well integrated in with the gaming world's day/night cycle and quests. It's a hole, but it's a hole you can crawl back to at the end of a hard day's Witching to get drunk with a buddy.
- Termina Tavern (Majora's Mask) - For the sense of community. The growing tensions building up to that final night of people coming together for the end of the world. Really nicely done.

submit ideas in this thread, or will you start a new thread?
i was thinking we could find a way to actually have all our "names" in the tavern.
we could have a wall of the tavern carved with names of heroes and adventurers from the past. each of us could choose the name of his hero, maybe with the additional rule that it need to have some kind of relation with his gaf nick name.
sure, 145 names are a lot and maybe requires too many texture, we could use some names for food and drinks that the Inn will sell, and so on.

Almost impossible to keep 145 GAF user names in lore.

Hell yes, proud to be a part of GAF for this! Damn, I'm pretty excited about PE...This inn, will be so amazing.

The details are all yet to be revealed by Obsidian, I believe. My guess is we'll get given certain dimensions for space, and can choose the internal layout, decorations and items etc, and NPCs / dialogue themes within reason.
I imagine Obsidian have chosen / are choosing how to spread out the Inns across the game map, so maybe we'll get told which part of the world we'll be in and certain restrictions that may be inherent to the area.
Sounds great.
for those that are down right impossible the user could just make one up from zero.

They way that they talked about "big cities" in terms of "screens" - I would imagine that they have a budget for BG art, props, etc, like they described. Psyched that this is a go

You guys can start discussion here. When the Kickstarter closes, I'll open a more robust thread.
Again: you guys are free to Kick ass and take names

Congrats Shagg. Epic #winning! Really appreciate the effort you put into making this reality. Very inspiring!
My personal feelings on NeoGAF is the one of a safe place with super-deadly guards bashing any trolls/troublemakers that enter. It's where you hear the latest news and engage in friendly banter. Sounds like a cliched fantasy inn, definitely. Happy to see it become "reality" in a game.
