META (Kind of, I think) HTTV 2018 Question

Submitted by m_go_T on

I pledged $15, but when I received my confirmation, the confirmation stated that I opted not to receive the guide.  Not sure if this was a quirk in the kickstarter campaign, but I am unsure how to ensure I receive this year's preview.  I tried using the "Contact Editor" tab, but it was a dead link.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Your pledge to receive the guide needs to cover the shipping/tax or whatever as well, so the minimum to receive the guide is actually $18. You may not have clicked on the pledge option to receive the guide, or if you manually edited the $18 down to $15 you wouldn't be eligible for the guide.

You have to click the little pledge option that says "THE BOOK". It says $15, but then when you click that it automatically adds the $3 for shipping. If you don't click which prize you want, then you're just voluntarily giving money to the campaign.

 

As for next steps/giving that extra $3, I am not sure. Might need to email with Brian or another mod to get that worked out.

While we're HTTVing, is there going to be a digital only option this year?

IIRC that came out after the Kickstarter closed last time. I have an "i only read on screens" idiot relative with a birthday coming up.

One more question: The Dawn of Scientific Football by Craig Ross is going to be about the rapid changes in scoring values from 1903-1912, isn't it?

You apparently chose the "Make a pledge without a reward" option. You can still change it to "THE BOOK" on Kickstarter pretty easily.

I chose the "the book" option, but it never gave me a place to enter my shipping address.  It just says "ship to: anywhere in the world."  Unfortunately I did this as a guest, and did not make a kickstarter account, so I'm not sure if I can change it.
