Soo.. anyway..
I am in for a basic box and will likely add 2 boxes of rats and lizards in PM plus whatever else is an expansion and not something I want to wait for retail on.

As to the finish.. They "were" going to finish with a massive demon. A wingless demon that looks awesome.. That's kinda hard to find to be honest.. and something I happened to be on the lookout for.
People asked for one more unlock and they added the cards.. They didn't have to do that.. it was not going to be there.. but handwave it as underwhelming.. that's fine. Except.. it isn't.. If you're planning on actually playing the game, that's more gear that wasn't going to be there, expanding the content. I personally couldn't care less about more dice. I have dice. I have enough dice that everyone on my block could play games with the dice that I have. I am not put off that some specially marked dice didn't make it in.. They would've gone in the same cask style humidor all my other dice stay in waiting to be abused.

For me.. extra dice.. not useful.. extra cards.. useful. I'm quite pleased with everything about this and judging by the total and other comments here.. I'm not alone. I think some people are just really truly never happy..

They gave in to the annoying backer demands for a unicorn...

Ugh, seriously? This just encourages the morons to spam their dumb garbage in every future campaign.

Yes, that is VERY annoying - and will only encourage future KS Comments shenanigans.

But, seeing as KS Comments sections are about, usually...98% useless anyway, I'll just take the free wandering monster and be...OK with it.

Also, another stretch goal?

The Hwanger must be eating his hat now!

Well, if only I had proposed that bet, but still!

Well you can't say they don't listen to their backers (no matter how crazy the idea).

I can't see it doing $200k in 55 minutes but CMoN normally add the last stretch goal even if it's not reached so I don't think they added this knowing it wouldn't be reached and they wouldn't have to make it.

That would actually be an OK thing, I guess?

Either way, the Overly Vocal and Spammy Users of the KS World will, sadly, continue to be...encouraged.

What they really needed were more Mallax obviously.

...wait, wrong campaign.

Prepare for the useless comment sections to become even more useless.

Bring back the Brian Blessed comments! (I know different KS still damned annoying) but it does set a bad precedent all right. The MD comment section was near unreadable and next to worthless through out.

The person mostly behind the Unicorn spam (not sure if he started it but he relentlessly spammed it for the entire month) was the same guy who spammed the Walking Dead: All out war comments and was rewarded there with a zombie miniature added to the Kickstarter pledge based upon his likeness.

This just encourages people to spam more and more.

Oh dear.

Well I guess we can expect future CMON projects to become filled with fan service then. As if the "big bang" characters and "real zombie bosses" gak wasn't enough.

Calling it now: BP2 will be filled with spam demanding the whole MLP crew.

That would have been epic - and straight up evil!

That Unicorn isn't going to make it - at least not for free.

Chance it is a paid add-on?

They still have the retail pledge levels to add in which will contribute to the stretch goals, I wouldn't be surprised if they just use that reasoning to hand wave it through just after campaign ends.

Yeah, I assume it's a done deal. I can't recall them ever not including a stretch goal after it was shown.

What? I like Unicorns!

Anyway, even when there's not spam (I didn't happen to read the unicorn comments), I don't read the CMON KS comments. Same old questions all the time, and minor comment s about the sculpt. Pretty tame KS, particularly after LOAD.

I assume though, that CMON's already calculated shipping costs, so know the unicorn won't make it as a SG. I did notice that if every $1 pledge was converted to $120, we would have reached it.

Its just whether or not they want to give you one, they knew it would be highly unlikely to reach 3.6 let alone the 3.7 they put it at.

It was either- heres something we dont need to worry about giving them but itll shut up those people who wanted a unicorn.

or they just say screw it and we all get one.

But yea the 4m dragon woulda been funny. I dont think it would have had any chance of making it either, but I do wonder if there might have been a noticeable attempt by backers to get it there.

You have to laugh at those backers who are rage quiting the project because of the unicorn. I don't particularly like it but you can always give it away... (or sell it)

$60k worth of retail pledges wasn't enough so they have unlocked it as a thank you to the backers.

Hopefully it does make it in,

$3.56M finish, and they threw in the $3.7M Unicorn anyways? Mkay.

FWIW, SPM did a unicorn for SDE:Legends, due to similar campaigning from the peanut gallery.

Yeah, if you look at the front page now it shows it listed in the what you get for $120, so looks like it's in.

I really like the idea of painting it as a nightmare

The Unicorn is in!

OK.

Overall, I'm very satisfied with this campaign and look forward to...April 2017 - CNY 2017 is late January, so we *should* be OK there!

Loving that Nightmare idea too - and it is quite appropriate given the whole Darkness/Shadow thing here too!

I'm sorry, but my players will cackle with girly glee every time they get to beat down a crazed unicorn wandering monster.

Admittedly, I would have preferred a Gelatinous Cube.

I thought Super Dungeon's pony was cooler and fit the aesthetic better.

Maybe Dakka members all should vote on some inane creature/ object to get included in all future KS campaigns, and with our united powers make it a reality.

Happy with the overall campaign though. Should definitely get my money's worth.
