Which is an option when you are the USA. Trying to find local stuff that takes paypal is annoying to say the least.

Yes, USA has a plethora of options because it is after all one of the major markets, not the same with most of the world, anyway it was a small remark on how expensive it is to get stuff outside the EU for many countries of the EU.

Thread Topic is "Kingdom Death - News and Rumors" - thanks!

Don't you (not you specifically) do the same when things are not from US?

No, we don't have custom charges or taxes in the US for non-commercial purchases under like $5k (not sure on the exact amount but it's really high) from outside the US.

Wow. Over here the limit is like $30 and the added sales tax/customs fee is slightly over 25% so you can understand the hand-wringing. Sorry for OT!

Without artwork really? really?

I think you fundamentally misunderstand what KDM is.

The art work is great, but it does nothing for the pace of the game. It should be pulled out and the rules condensed. Then pack the art in a separate book to fawn over. Some photos make sense, most serve no purpose.

I completely disagree. Especially the art around the showdown events is imo essential to the feeling of the game. I think there is some artwork that's just used to fill up gaps in the layout, but not much and even that hepls flesh out the mysterious KD universe a little bit. I wouldn't be opposed to an artwork-free quick reference version of course, but the main book's lifeblood is the artworks in it if you ask me, which of course you didn't.

Halloween!

Trick or Treat bag:
(Note all models are plastic, including the previously released witches.)


Armor Kit Bundle:


And more:

Interested in the armor package until I saw the $125 price tag.

Thats Crazytalk.

Well put.

That $125 armor pack is $11-ish per set of 4 figures made. Under $3/figure, it's not a bad deal at all.

Me, I kinda wanted to get the Witch set in plastic, without the cosplay Survivors.

Well, at least the end is more or less in sight now.

I would like the witch set but 100$ is a killer for customs I wish he had them available from the EU base too.

Anybody knows what company he uses to send them in?

UPS, USPS, what's the difference?

USPS will come maybe charge me with import duties and handed by the government, so I will pay at most a 28% import tax, but I have not payed more than 20 euro so far.

UPS will hold the invoice ransom for 80 euro regardless of actual product cost, will force me to hire their exporter for another 20 euro and charge me "warehouse fee" of IIRC 4 euro per day the product sits until they get around to export it.

So the difference is substantial for me.

Grabbed a Witches set.

Even though I'm not too keen on the Halloween Survivors, the price was just too good!

I'm guessing there's going to be a Flower Witch Coven expansion appearing in that upcoming kickstarter.

It's always been USPS when I've ordered from KD using the slower, cheaper uninsured postage option

but remember the US system is the customer is responsible for stuff in transit not the shipper, so if a delivery went missing they don't have to replace/refund if you don't pay for insured shipping

(I've never had any problems but if you do suffer from post going missing with any regularity be aware of the potential issue)

Gee thanks brexiteers that exchange rate is killing me, can't say no to some more resin/plastic sitting on the shelf though.

Yup, terrible exchange rate and always getting hit on customs means no wet nurse for me :(

Any idea if the cards from the Halloween Twilight night and pinup wet nurse will make the promo pack? also whats the settlement card referenced in the newsletter?

Ordered a Halloween Twilight Knight as the lantern is a useable card rather than a Promo. The only one I'm missing now is the Xmas White Speaker story event.

Pumpkin Knight (who I skipped for some odd reason last time) and the 2 new classes for me.

Tempted by the witchy witches, but I'll wait and see if they show up in an expansion. Funky costumes don't do much for me.

I almost got the armor kit bundle, but then realized I already have that many (if not more) unbuilt, and probably should start on those first.

Hence the wink. In most cases, USPS is the net cheapest international option, and UPS is among the more expensive options. It amuses me how it they can charge $20+ for 5 minutes of electronic filing.

Apologies, I completely missed the wink.

This was the first time in a bit that I got to a KD sale and backed away-- would have probably done a witch/disciple set on its own for $60 or w/e, but I don't need 4 goofy survivors (muscle man in a skirt is getting kinda' old as a joke-- #3 if you count strange spot), and as good a deal as that survivor pack is, the wrong number of bases and already having quite a few meant again I wasn't drawn in. Kinda' liked the necromancer and was tempted by the forge got, but too expensive.

Has anyone heard rumor that the next update is Nov 5th now?

that's what the newsletter suggested (but whether it's 5th November, or 5th November Adam Poots time we shall wait and see)

Not so much a rumour as something that was in the newsletter that was sent out a few days ago.

A newsletter went out.... ugh, ive signed up for that twice and still seem to not receive them.

The newsletter gets sent out sometime after the update goes up on his site. If you were signed up, yeah, you should have received it by now. Maybe you're spam blocking it?

Had to dig it out of my deleted folder, but here's the bit:

KD:M Kickstarter Status
Final KD:M Kickstarter Update Scheduled for November 5th.
Lantern Festival - TBD November 5th
Aya Painting Guide - Complete
Kara Black Skin Painting Guide - Complete
Digital Art book - Final Copy & Then into copy editing
Holiday White Speaker Nico Settlement Card - Going to add this to the printed card pack (along with the cards from the recently released plastic models, that many backers already have). These will be available for cost + labor + shipping.
