I know it;s a prototype, but I really hope some of the typographical and grammatical errors will be corrected in the final game.

For example, in video 2 at 6:06 you see the Monster Grease card. It should say, "...A monster's chance..." with the apostrophe.
Also in video 2, at 9:49 you see the Whisker Harp card. It should say, "...If you're fighting..." instead of 'your'.

Minor issues, of course. With much of the game in prototype, this stuff will probably get caught during playtesting.

That being a promo image for a hand holding a die (for custom dice) also seems very possible.

That's what it is!

Nice catch!

Of course, unless the custom dice are included, it is a stretch goal I'll be able to resist.

Unlike every other stretch goal, sadly!

**Rolt**

Well the 1.45mill mark has been hit, now we play the waiting game.

**Alpharius**

This is "Prime Adam Time" though, so we should see something soon.

Also, he'll have to give the next few goals soon and really, truly say "That's it!" as there is NO after Kickstarter ability to add funds.

He's too nice a guy and customer oriented to allow a goal to be hit and missed by many due to the inability to add funds in after the fact.

I think!

You're missing the fact the rest of his body is one big tentacle and the wings are made from 3 thousand boob faced babies holding hands.

Are there any fello Muricans that can do me a favor?

Can I paypal someone to get me 2 of the KD Kara Black miniatures?

please?

**BrookM**

You can Paypal them yourself you know.

Does anyone know if this is correct? If I just wanted some of the expansions and some options, do I pick the 11 dollar pledge level?

Considering that's exactly what it says on the kickstarter, yes.

Yes: note also that if you get anything that includes physical rewards, you will also receive a Twilight Knight (much defraying the $11 cost!).

Edit: Ninja'd! So I will take the opportunity to say that I could really use a miniature painting guide focused on fleshtones. Definitely a weakness of mine.

If you only want some options/expansions, but not the base game, this is correct for US backers.

For international backers, I'm not really sure... maybe you do this, but still add the $45 in shipping?

That seems odd because then it would be $56 in shipping.

Maybe you select it, but subtract the $11 from what your shipping fee is and still just make it $45 in shipping... definitely worth asking about if he hasn't already cleared that up.

Options Only is $11 plus $24 for international shipping.

**RiTides**

Just checked the page, if you're international you select the $11 deal but add $24 to ship outside of the US.

Edit: Ninja'ed

You can pledge at the Options Only level. It's $11 and you can add 2 Kara's for $30.

Hope the girl with the book will be available after the KS.

Sorry, I meant that any pledge that includes physical rewards will receive a Twilight Knight, as per the Christmas Gift.

Edit:

My gift to you friends, family, fans, backers and supporters is the single piece of all of Kingdom Death that is the most significant to me. The Twilight Knight. Anyone that pledges their support at any level that includes physical goods being shipped to you, will get a plastic Twilight Knight.

The "Not Link" is the Messenger of Courage promo, which will not be in general release after the kickstarter. Not sure what you mean by "the girl with the book", the preacher pin-up?

Arright, who guessed dice? Gold star to that man!

1.45 Mill Reached!!! Game Box Upgraded with Custom High Quality Kingdom Death Dice!
Update #50 · Jan. 06, 2013 · 4 comments

We have reached 1,450,000 in funding and upgraded every game box with 5 high quality custom kingdom death dice! I never expected us to get this far! This is NUTS!

The design is still a work in progress and will not be finalized until after the campaign ends.

As an option you can add 5 more of these dice to your rewards by pledging +$10 for them. But remember your game box will come with 5, so you really don't need any extras!

I am going all out on these babies!

Next goal set at 1,500,000!!!!!

THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!

**BobtheInquisitor**

I sure hope he finally adds some skin to this Kickstarter. Doesn't he realize that sex sells?

**recruittons**

My guess? Ayla (from Chrono Trigger) homage character. If I'm right, this one I cannot pass up.

**DaveC**

Yep has to be Ayla but with KD:M twist she still looks very like the actual Ayla though

I have a feeling you might be right.

**Dentry**

Skyrim tribute?

Edit: Or Ayla.

**Rolt**

Whoa Ayla from Chrono Trigger? that would be amazing, I love Ayla's design. The dice are gonna be great, only problem is how many(max) would we need to play the game, does anyone know?

Well that does sound a bit more like KD I know, but unless it shoots flamming penis's from its mouth and has six baby hand arms coming out of it anus all high-fiveing in unison, its not getting my pleage.

Everyone getting a physical reward sent to them gets a free Twilight Knight thrown in.

So if you pledge Options Only and grab 2 Survivor Kara Black, you'd also get a Twilight Knight automatically.

Here's a picture:

**cincydooley**

Quick Q: when the expansions are released for retail, they will include their associated armor sets, correct? With that in mind, will the sun stalker come with Miko as well?

1.5 Million Reached! A Mysterious Messenger visits your Settlement!
Update #51 · Jan. 06, 2013 · 2 comments

19 Hours Left!!

We have unlocked the Messenger of The First Story, a promotional miniature that will only be available thru this kickstarter and future Kingdom Death special events! This Messenger is a Savior that discovers a way to stop aging. Perhaps she goes on to found the White Speakers, sharing this important first story with them.

You can add The Messenger of The First Story to your rewards by adding +$15 to your pledge. She will come with a one-shot challenge scenario, a promo gear card and a promo hunt and settlement event card.

Our next goal is at 1,550,000 !

Um, I think this is related to Chrono trigger, but I'm honestly not familiar enough with the game to know...

**Cyporiean**

yeah, it looks like Ayla from Chrono Trigger. My guess is with the 'First Story' bit, Chrono Trigger was the first JRPG poots played.
