    Frank...here's the difference between the $15 and $45 book purchase from the add-on store.

    Receive digital versions of each installation of the serialized SotA novel, written by Tracy Hickman, New York Times best-selling author of the Dragonlance series. The novel is being developed as a prequel to the SotA storyline. You will also receive a digital download of the completed novel once all the installments are finished.

    Receive digital download versions of each installation of the serialized SotA novel, written by Tracy Hickman, New York Times best-selling author of the Dragonlance series. The novel is being developed as a prequel to the SotA storyline. You will also receive both a digital download and a printed copy of the completed novel once all the installments are finished.

    One gives you the printed copy...that's it.

    Black Friday Weekend Promotions

    We have some great promotions lined up for Black Friday Weekend (& Cyber Monday)! Check these out:
    15% Pledge Bonus on all New Pledges and Pledge Upgrades!

    For all new pledges or pledge upgrades that you purchase for yourself, or as a gift, between 12:00 am CST November 27 and 12:00 am CST December 3, we will add an additional 15% bonus to your pledge account! For example, if you purchase a new Founder pledge for $65, we will add an additional $10 to your pledge account ($65 times 15% equal $9.75 rounded up to $10; our pledge package doesn’t handle cents so we round up to nearest dollar).
    NOTE: The 15% bonus pledge won’t show up in your account immediately. Give us about a week after the end of the promotion period to tally everyone’s purchases and add the bonus pledge to your account.

    Predicted answer: Any new funds received by Dec. 3 will get the bonus.

    Of course if I'm wrong and it will extend for the life of the payment plan, I'm going to set up a payment plan to a much higher level.

    I don't know if I should hate Portalarium for making me spend money earlier than I wanted (and during the period of Steam sales, where my budget already gets stretched somewhat) or love them for allowing me to save $50 on the tier I wanted to upgrade to :p

    We will apply the Black Friday 15% Pledge Bonus toward any pledge monies received during the promotion period (12:00 am CST November 27 and 12:00 am CST December 3). Any payment plan payments received during the promotion period will have the 15% bonus applied to them, same as any full payments made toward new pledges or pledge upgrades. Any subsequent monthly payments made on the new payment plan that fall outside of the promotion period will not have the 15% Pledge Bonus applied to them.

    This will be easy for those that may be starting a new payment plan during the promotion. For those that are already on a payment plan, it will require some extra steps. They will have to go in and cancel their current plan and immediately start a new payment plan (possibly entering the same dollar amount as what their previous plan was, or changing it to a larger amount to take advantage of the 15% bonus pledge). By canceling their old plan and starting a new plan they force a payment to be made during the promotion period, thus qualifying that payment to receive the 15% bonus pledge.

    I see. That's not quite as exciting as I thought. But it's still good if you're making a large payment.

    Sir Frank is correct. Only the one payment made during the promotion period will qualify for the 15% Pledge Bonus. Any subsequent monthly payments made on the new payment plan that fall outside of the promotion period will not have the 15% Pledge Bonus applied to them.
