Even just getting the rules is worthwhile. You can use practically any minis and base your games in a variety of settings.

Less then $500 Canadian until the Special Weapons Agent is unlocked (they have added on the Paypal funds so the targets are much closer then they may appear).

And a fresh new set of Stretch Goals based on Backer Count (currently at 271, so almost there)

Thanks to PayPal backers the extra 4 lurker profiles have been added to the rulebook. Only about 15 backers away from the Maniac mini as well I believe.

They have also added a little teaser of an evil pumpkin miniature to the Kickstarter logo, there will be some kind of announcement about that in a few hours.

Maniac Santa at 350 backers too!

I missed this in the FAQ but extremely handy for the higher pledge levels -

My Pledge level provides more Add-on credit than I want to use right now!
Any credit you still have outstanding when the Pledge Manager closes will be issued to you as a UMW Webstore gift certificate with no expiry date, so you may use it against future releases.

That is very cool. I may end up using that myself.

That's good to know, especially for higher pledgers.

Yeah, I am pledged at the Hero level. Right now I would be hard pressed to use the credit. A lot of the bigger sets just don't have enough in them that I don't already have or don't want, and I'm not gonna spend $50 credit just to pick up a single figure I do want.

I do wish they would reconsider offering the KS exclusives outside of the sets they are bundled in. Their reasoning is a bit weak in my opinion. Since the exclusives are supposed to be well, exclusive to the KS, it doesn't make sense to include them in the molds with non-exclusive figures which seems to be the reason given for not having them available separately. For example Ghost Girl, an exclusive figure will be cast with the Banshee, a non-exclusive figure. That only works for KS fulfillment. Obviously they will need to continue producing the Banshee as it will be part of that box set though Ghost Girl will not be. So why not cast a few more to sell Ghost Girl to KS backers not wanting the whole set, and keep the extra banshees to support future retail sales?

Somehow that makes sense to me, but not to Mike. I'm not sure what I am missing.

I'm at Hero too, but would be very tempted in a Council of Thirteen if one opened up!

I'm jumped in very early and picked up one of the Godling packages which is a little on the extreme side which is why I am very glad about the store credit.

That said, I will most likely pick up all the boxes even though I have most of the 1st edition miniatures as I rarely have the time to paint so would prefer the coloured resin as it shows the details better then the original White.

I would like a council of the 13, but couldn't justify that big of a hobby expenditure right now.

Free pumpkins for all!

and the backer stretch goals (about to hit the Maniac) -

Getting ready to kick off the final 48 reminders. Hopefully that brings in a bunch of new pledges.

Lots more SG revealed, most of which are free upgrades to various boxes!

For those torn between which box sets to get they have provided a nice breakdown of them all here -

Small update from the comments -

Updated targets for the next unlocks:
Undead Booster - $47,518 ($835 Away)
Free Maniac - 287 Backers (3 Away)
And that 325 Backer bonus is a go. It's a beta-test PDF of my 'Monsters of the Dreamlands' supplement, which will be included with the campaign-close PDF bundle. - CLS

Thanks for the link, very nice!

Undead Booster has now been unlocked -



The set includes the return of the promotional; Zombie Lovecraft which I don't believe has been available since October 2010.

Only a hair over 24 hours remaining! Last chance to get in on the madness...

It's worth keeping an eye out for EBs as people are making their final decisions. I managed to snag a Council of Thirteen, several Agents and Heroes have appeared briefly and even a Godling opened up for a very short time!

And remember, even just a rulebook will give you a great game that you can use practically any minis for, and all pledgers get a .pdf of the 1st edition and a supplement at the close of the campaign to play while we wait!

Lots like both the High Priestess and Monsters of the Dreamlands beta PDF have now been unlockred this morning. Closing in on the Maniac Santa with the Daemons Booster also within reach.

Functioning exactly the same as a High Priest (well, in game terms at least!), the Priestess is a powerful spellcaster and Command model. Very handy to have in your collection indeed!

We've also surpassed another Backer Count goal. All backers will now receive a beta test 'Monsters of the Dreamlands' supplement at campaign close. These largely untested designs from our archives have been waiting for an eventual Dreamlands scenario pack or Black Dossier for release, but we're going to throw them to the wolves (that's you) and see how they perform out in the real world. Included are profiles for a Ghast, Gug, Moon-beast, Shantak and Wamp. And who knows, a bonus Star Vampire profile may even sneak it's way on to an extra page...

Cool new addition to an already excellent box!

Nearly have the Daemon Box too!

We are now about $1,000 away from unlocking the Daemon box which has some very nice content thanks to a leaked image -

Looks neat, I'm in at EB 115CAD, which is $100 in real money.

Think I'm going with Threshold and Cultist boosters, and the Innsmouth box. Difficult not to just sneak in Black Goat membership, worm or Shogoth but I gots to eat between now and fulfillment.

Daemons are in!
