offers the opportunity to explore the fun, "the plot crazy" Shakespeare rejected options

A choose-your-own-adventure version of Hamlet with jokes, ghosts and pirates fight scene never seen before, has raised more than six times its goal kick in less one week.

Ryan North, a Canadian comic book writer, launched his appeal on November 21. By half past three had raised their goal of $ 20,000 (? 12,500), and is now close to 150,000 and counting. His version of Hamlet is called to be or not to be, and will be an illustrated history adventure chooseable way.

Players can choose to Hamlet ("emo teenager about 30 years"), Ophelia ("She has a statistical science, but also has a weakness against water -1") or king , Hamlet's father, "that (surprise) on the first page dies and becomes a ghost. And then they laugh at you for dying on the first page, but it can become a ghost and must investigate his own murder as TOTALLY slept during sleep because it came in an orchard. ("Shakespeare wrote this role," said North.)

"I used the story of Hamlet as a starting point, but a) it is a great story, and it ends with almost everyone stabbed in body and b) the story can go in all sorts of directions funny crazy when you make a choice that Shakespeare did not, "said North. "In addition, unlike Shakespeare who do not jump on the pirate scene in Hamlet. You get to fight against pirates. Swords. And yes, of course, can choose which part of the body cut. Why write a book you can not c is my question. "

The more money that is generated by the call of the deadline of December 21 Kickstarter further north will add to the book, including new illustrations by a number of artists - "more money than increase, more deaths shows until we have made every 110 deaths" - and a prequel mini adventure called Poor Yorick. The book will be published with Breadpig, which will donate 100% of their share of profits from the Canadian Cancer Society (North wife was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma earlier this year).

"Even if we had the chance to have a cancer that responded to treatment, the cancer is a terrible disease, terrible. Support this book also supports research for a cure. This is really great, "said North." But all that aside, I worked to include everything in an amazing book like this. There are links for alternative paths and secret things I am pretty sure I have not even been done before in the middle. "
