Three Hundred Percent
After a couple of slow days, a surge of pledges both helped us cross the 300% mark and put the graph back on track. Cool! This update will be much shorter. Here's the new&improved version of the Token of Appreciation:
I've mentioned in some of the comments how much of a hassle cutting up sheets is, so there's a chance I'll just apply the labels to nickels here, and drop the completed token into the box. I'll def. do that for the international and Canadian orders.

Horse of a Different Color: Labels to make 800 PennyGems in up to eight colors _of your choosing!_ Pastels, your wedding colors, eight shades of nearly-black for Gothic Game Night, or whatever other colors a CMYK printer can create. For the "International" version, add $44. If you're feeling extra clever, you can even assign different colors to the front and back of each Gem, so what you really get is 16 groups of 100 labels. (Remember, it takes two labels to make a PennyGem.) Eight groups will be a single solid color. The other eight will have one of the eight standard icons, each on a solid color.

Not only will you receive nearly one thousand PennyGems in each of the nine colors, but game designer James Ernest will create a game based on your input for you to play with your new hoard. The game will be published with you receiving credit as the person who commissioned the game.

I think its an excellent idea...
Creator Kevin Finkle on April 22, 2012
I think that $1 per extra Token of Appreciation beyond the first is fair. I will leave it up to my friends going in on the split order as to whether or not they want to have a ToA of their very own.
Creator Ray Schmidt on April 20, 2012
I could live with that. ;-)
Creator Dave Howell on April 20, 2012
Huh. On the one hand, having the possibility of _n_ tokens instead of just one per order makes things more complicated, which I have been trying to avoid. On the other hand, having encouraged people to buddy-up on orders, it would be rude of me to not let everybody have their own Token of Appreciation. In the interests of sticking with nice round numbers, is it okay to request $1 per Token of Appreciation after the first?
Creator Kevin Finkle on April 20, 2012
A way to get more tokens of appreciation would be especially helpful to those of us who are splitting large orders between friends. I would pay more for extra tokens.
Creator Justin Call on April 20, 2012
Love the new tokens!
Creator Mercedes (Mandy) on April 20, 2012
+1 to what Ray said about extra tokens :) nice nice.
Creator Ray Schmidt on April 20, 2012
Is there any chance we'd be able to order more than one of these? Maybe add an "add X amount for each extra token of appreciation you would like" clause. I'd love to have several of these in my stash.
Creator Shy Lev-Ari on April 20, 2012
I was afraid when you mentioned gradients, but it's subtle and done well. I hope it will show well when printed (I assume it will because of the reflective nature of the vinyl, which will give it "oompf"). I like th arrow design better now :) Excellent job!
Creator Marty and Ron Hale-Evans on April 20, 2012
Ha!
Creator Todd Showalter on April 19, 2012
Works for me.
Creator Dave Howell on April 19, 2012
"A Game of Thrones" fans can, of course, call it a token of fire and ice.
