Piggybacking is messy.

Never had an issue with it before but I'm also usually picky on who I piggyback. Obviously I don't just piggyback on anyone but if its someone I've traded with or dealt with before in the past, I've not had any issues. Not to mention if something goes south or messy, Dakkanaughts aren't exactly nonvocal. LOL!

Also curious to know if we can still back for a short while. Didn't have enough to back this but should come June.

Hey Alpharius, I did the whole prophet thing just for you last page.

And you didnt even notice.

Fraud isn't a big issue if you piggyback with a long term Dakkaite.

It's location, extra re-shipping, order changes, refunding damaged or missing post and vertification of arrival and all else that stems fro having one parcel arrive for two people at two different locations. This is eased considerably if your piggybacking on a local you know, but most cases like that are more joint orders than piggybacking.

Consider this also.

PING might allow you stretchgoal rewards for late adds. Mantic certainly did. However if you piggyback its one order, so if you say add a second core set you get exactly that, you don't get double free add ons to go with it. You get stretchgoal rewards for spending £60 or more, not one set of freebies per core game. As those are a considerable portion of the original content, roughly doubling the amount of stuff you get at core, its worth trying to get them for free.

Ah, my apologies - I did notice, and I enjoyed it quite a bit - so thank you for playing along!

For those wondering about late pledges. Just had the following email.

After a short break and some regrouping we are now ready to let you know what is going to happen in the next couple of weeks.

First of all: communication.
We will try to post a short brief every Friday to let you know about the production process. You can still find us at hint@postindustrialgames.com or via our web page or on Facebook. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.

Second of all: a late pledge:
This week, those of you who didn’t take part in our regular campaign will be able to support us via PayPal.

Thirdly: pledge maneger.
We are striving to come up with a manager that will help you configure your order so that you’ll be able to choose exactly what you planned, as well as buy some additional elements. The manager will enable you to confirm you shipping address or pay the delivery costs and so on. Expect a separate post about it in the coming 3-4 weeks.

Once again thank you for your support, comments and for sticking with us!

We’ll keep you posted.

For all of you who wanted to support us, but didn't manage to pledge via KS we enable you the late pledge. The rules are the same as for KS campaign (with exclusion of Maj. Zack, which was available as freebe for limited time only).
The late pledge will be available untill the pledge manager is released.

Link to the pledge.

Will late pledges count towards the final stretch goals?

Just a mini-update today, saying (in "charming unless it makes it into the final rules" slightly broken English) that they're beavering away on things, no upsets yet.

The "Late Pledge" system is still open, but not for much longer. Essentially you pay for a base pledge and then will get a link to the pledge manager to add on more things & shipping.

Pictures! They're implying that the painted versions are from the production metals, not the resin castings:

Shame I won't be able to get in on this until after my move in August :/

If those are production models, I'm in love. They look like they will scale very nicely with Hasslefree and Reaper sci-fi.

Does anyone know when the Pledge Manager is due to open up?

No official date has been given, the "Late Pledge" is available right up until the Pledge Manager opens, and they're saying:

"By the way, please remember the late pledge is on its finish and it's the only chance to take advantage of the KS's full offer."

So...soon?

Yes, Late pledge will be close soon.

In the meantime something new from the desktop.

I'm really loving the aesthetic. It's along the lines of the new era of cyberpunk without delving into the glam-metal 70s stuff.

The paypal link taking me to Polish Paypal is not exactly inspiring confidence :/

Alright.. I'm officially a late backer.

Thank you very much! You won't be disappointment, i suppose.

I was eyeballing it while the campaign was up and really like the art and the progress you've shown.
In a few weeks I'm changing address, I'm not sure how to notify you of that.

By private message hint@postindustrialgames.com or in pledge manager when it comes up. If you support us by late pledge you will get invitation to pledge manager.

Ok, thanks awesome

Apparently the pledge manager now includes the ability to ask for a new address for people who have moved.

Ah, I haven't received a pledge manager invite yet.. I assume that will happen?

I'm biased (more than a tad - we've did the castings of some), but I confirm that those I have seen turned out great in metal, especially police models.

I knew there was something I liked about them
I've never bought anything from you guys that wasn't awesome!

Hi everybody.

Today is Friday so as usual we have an update for you. The works are on full speed. Check it out on https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1803723298/human-interface-nakamura-tower/posts/1304059 or on https://www.facebook.com/hintthegame?ref=hl

HINT That's really awesome!

So... was I supposed to get a pledge manager invite or something?

Exactly. When we finish it. Take us a little more time.

Hi everybody,

another great news, something big to support your police force.

Awww man, that is awesome.

I really hope I will be able to get some of these models down the track. Missed that KS.

You are close to making a pledge manager
Or late pledges are about to close.

HOLY CRAP! That Riot Control Officer is awesome! Very happy to have jumped onto this even if it's as a late backer!

Someone doesn't know how to do gun design. That thing has a bullpup style stock, yet the magazine's in front of the grip (which overall makes the thing look really uncomfortable to hold). Weird.

Friggin sci-fi.
