Starting to wonder... 6 hours left and we just hit 900k. People in the comments are quite bubbly and optimistic, shall likely depend on whats on offer after the dagron.

Well they've done 100k+ already today so with 6 hours left they should hit the goal and maybe put up a few pm goals?

One million dollar stretch that I'd like is for them to do all 10 legendary heroes in plastic for $25. That would make for a pretty ideal $200 for me (3 expansions and all the legendaries).

Is Minion's already next week? Jeez.

At some future point in time, I will be able to start saving up my hobby money...

I've been saying that for at least the last four or five years now!

Wow, amazing how many people have come on board late for this. For some reason my screen hadn't refreshed, hit F5 and in the space of an hour an extra 200 pledgers.

Guessing this will easily hit the Dragon of Halpi set, will be interesting to see if there is room for one more target.

Well they've just done nearly 9k since you posted this Going far stronger than I thought, I guess people really want that dragon.

I'm betting they can hit another goal after the dragon. I wouldn't be surprised if it beats 1 million

Yep, I'm surprised at how much momentum we're picking up. Deadzone's total is out of reach, but 1mil is actually possible, but they'll have to fight for it.

In at 200, something nice shows up I may be enticed to 250 but dunnoz.

Interestingly, this has now passed Heroquest 25th Anniversary's total, which was €680037 ($895k), although that game had more than 12,000 backers I think based on some of the smaller terrain sets and the like.

I couldn't care less about Descent clones so I haven't been keeping up with this, but congrats to Mantic for pulling in ~1 million bucks. I hope this will cover the extra shipping for Deadzone's wave 3

Blah, still on the fence with not much time left to go.

The value has certainly gotten better, but I just don't know that there's a demand for this game for me. Anyone with a crystal ball who wants to guess when the PM for this one is likely to close? Don't have tons of funds lying around at the moment for toys and I know there's some massive spend from my budget in the early part of '15 coming up with Armada and Imperial Assault, and I have my eye on a few things that are available now for today's dollars.

On the flip side, if the PM is going to be open until April or May, then I might do the "jerk pledge" of $1 and up it later. That way the money is being a bit more responsibly doled out and I should have my MA and DBX pledges in to judge if the material is good enough or if I just get a few of the tokens.

Anyone have any insight on that?

Expect the Legendary resin figures to be re-posed versions of the originals with some doo-dads added on, not completely original sculpts.

Just like Deadzone's resin alternate Rebs Commander and Plague 1st Gen.

Not really a huge issue for me, as I'll likely be buying only one version of a handful of hero figures anyway. But best to know what you're in for.

I believe so. Many of us are doing this, so if Mantic says no, they'll be leaving a lot of money on the table.

Mantic actually makes more money that way too, since it avoids kickstarter fees.

Yes you can


While you can, it's a bit of a jerk move, if you're planning to spend the money, pledge it, and help get to the next stretch goal.


bs.

First of all, some of us don't have the money to pledge right now because of the MA and Deadzone Pledge Managers, which means Mantic's got the money already.

Second, this is as much a part of the game as fake stretch goals. Why should we go all in without having seen the sculpts or even having received any board game plastic minis to test the medium yet? If Mantic wants to play hardball, then why should we give them our money now, a year in advance, as a reward, when we can give it to them 4-6 months from now?

Plus, Mantic factors in PM money for achieving stretch goals, so you're entirely wrong any way.

Closing on $928k as I type - I wonder how swiftly there will be an update from Mantic?

So a campaign to go with the black fortress tiles, and tile clips (very happy about this one). Plus another choose your own adventure book.

Should easily hit all three of those stretches.

TBH I'd prefer more content like this than more figures at this stage I think. Will already be getting over 100 minis I think with base and the two main expansions and it's unlikely to see more than what, 15 on the board at once? The tile connectors don't fuss me as I like Grims idea of flipping one of our large mouse-mat boards over to hold the tiles in place.





Only a couple mins from $940K by the looks hahah.

I've upped to 210. Reckon I can just about afford that, and it gets me that hardback.

Dungeon Master + Abyss + Warlord + Tyrant + Black Fortress + 10 euro for shipping to the EU.

Didn't think the Dragon was too big a goal, but would be surprised if it hits the million...

The Dragon didn't bother me. It's nice and all, but would have preferred another expansion like the first two. *shrugs* If it helps it sell better I'm fine with that and hey... can always use a dragon and dragon themed tiles and scenarios and stuff ; p

$940K, next stretch down.

It needs to do 15,000 an hour to do so at the moment, but I think it will hit the million in the pledge manager.
