Stephen Emond has launched a RocketHub crowd-funding project for Ultima Online: The Ultimate Collector’s Guide, the follow-up to his wildly successful Ultima: The Ultimate Collector’s Guide.

This mammoth 460 page tribute to the Ultima Online series contains highly detailed information and pictures for 180 main releases, 381 books & collectibles, and 76 miscellaneous items. A grand total of 637 items from 21 countries across 5 continents!

In addition to regular entries there are comprehensive variation guides for each game. They provide side-by-side comparisons illustrating the differences between different maps, boxes, books, discs, etc. There’s even some history & lore for extra flavoring.

The original Ultima Online and all 10 expansion packs are covered in exhaustive detail. Also included are Ultima Worlds Online: Origin, Ultima X: Odyssey, UO Mobile, Lord of Ultima, Ultima Forever, as well as the many Collections & Compilations.

The project is already half-funded, and is likely to hit its funding target within short order. Not, I imagine, that anyone would mind if the project raised more than its modest funding goal. Various reward tiers have been defined, with $35 being the minimum donation if you’d like to receive a copy of the guide upon its publication.
