Didn't he want to wait until he had production nailed down and running before sending out the surveys?

I don't know, did he?

Seems to me that he might want to know how many of each thing (roughly) he needed before making them, especially given his recently stated intentions to fulfill all backers orders first before even thinking about retail releases.

He could just jack up production knowing he will have to fulfill all the Kickstarters and fill all the retail boxes, and his website. Not to mention people who didn't get the expansions who might buy them later at a retail outlet.

**Alpharius**

He could do that, sure.

Only, he already said that's not what he's doing!

**BrookM**

Indeed, nothing goes on sale until all pledges have been fulfilled.

**JudgeShamgar**

I meant that he could just start producing the models he knows will be in the retail box set and fulfill the Kickstarter pledges with them and if there are extras made they would then go into a retail box for sale after the Kickstarter pledges are shipped. So all the armors in the box set, the survivors, and the monsters could be in production now with any that don't go into Kickstarter boxes put into retail packages.

I hope the sorts out the mistakes fix soon, the suspense is killing me. I just want to get it all sorted out so I can forget about this Ks until the shiny toys show up

Is it November yet?

**Sirius42**

Not yet, but soon I hear, rumor has it march is the new November

. Back ot, in reference to my previous post, I know Adam has said he will sort out issues such as order mistakes when the time is right, but has he put any kind of timescale to that?

**Dentry**

Went through my calculations for the first time today since KD:M kickstarter ended. Saw that I made a mistake and underpledged for my desired rewards. Wept.

**DustGod**

Patience....
this was a huge task for him. Give the guy a chance to breathe.
You know.... the economics analysis that takes place in this hobby is astounding. I've never in any other Hobby-mind you Hobby- see so much of this sort of thing....
People worried about shipping cost.... wanting to know what his costs are and this wanting transparency of his business arrangements..... that's 100% none of our business .... only mini war gamers are like this. That poor guys kickstarter just ended.... here come the worry warts, nit pickers and nay sayers ..

I said it after zombicide and ill say it again if you pledged just wait.... he'll get it all worked out.... he was clever enough to gain your confidence to give him your money 10 months ahead of time... I'm sure he's confident enough to handle the rest. I'm sure you'll be able to fix mistakes upgrade your pledge etc... I'm sure he can figure out shipping.

I'm also sure its not my business how he spends my 155.00 as long as I get what's promised. The audacity of some people in this hobby is worthy of ridicule.

Pledge and be patient or get an ulcer doing math problems hitting the fed ex site for rates sweating the algorithm of it all for 10 months. It's not one person either just a general thing I see over n over. Zombicide, Sedition wars, now Monster. Maybe I'm just too suave to fret like a teenage girl. Stay cool fellas. By Halloween you'll be up to your nipples in tentacle horror oddness and monster hunter-esque armor and weapons.
I Love all of you. I just want my fellow gamers to let their inner snoop dog come out instead of Sheldon

We don't lack confidence. We're just eager to get our pledge info sorted out so we can forget about this until November.

After Poots gets those pledge forms done, he's basically done with us until he is ready to ship something.

**Sirius42**

Exactly this, we want the forms so we can get it signed sealed and set, those of us with mistakes want to get it all ironed out then, then everyone knows what they're getting and the waiting can begin. (Incidentally in my specific case I've just found out that I could be offshore for upto a month starting next Friday with no internet, so I'd like to have it sorted before I go)

**Still Standing**

Just got a Forsaker Pinup to add to my Beyond the Wall. I foresee myself spending a LOT of money on the pinups before I get the actual game...

**DustGod**

Oh I understand wanting to fill out the order forms A.S.A.P. but give the guy time to catch his breath is what I'm saying on that topic. We all work... this guy did a bang up job on the KS over the holidays both of em'.... and the forms.... I understand but other things people mention its like "Why you wanna know?"

Let us all see your paycheck stubs n bill recipients first..... then you can peek at my business arrangements., that is if you don't mind showing the world you personal assets info first.

Give him 2 weeks to get a rest n get it airtight. I'm sure it'll be here soon enough....

I'm wondering who ill get to play that'll stay for the long haul of a campaign.... man that system Seems deep...

**RiTides**

Best to try to forget about this for a while guys

. You've got a long wait ahead of you...

**rpgplayer88**

He's finding a possible way to make an amendment options for those who underpledge or those having a special case unable to go through with their cc. Though he does not guarantee it.
So I think the forms won't be out until he had sort those out.

**NoseGoblin**

Having run one, I can tell you that you may be in for a bit of a wait? Of course my experience may not be typical but there are steps to the process... For the next week or two Amazon Payment will be chasing down the backers that had problems with their charges going through. Adam will have a tough time until he has a firm list of those backers who cannot fulfill their pledge for whatever reason.

If he has a pledge manager pre built, there will still need to be last minuet coding to add any late changes to the KS offerings, then he will need to test the pledge manager, then a full release to the backers. How long this takes depends on his relationship with CMON, If they are giving him a hand with the survey and lending their manpower and expertise then thing may get rolling a little faster.

All I am saying is that you need to be patient, If his hurdles are anything like mine it will take about a month after the KS close to wrap all that up.

Cheer everyone and congrats on a great KS!

**Still Standing**

Are there any other websites that stock Kingdom Death miniatures, or just the official site and CMON?

Officially, it's just those two.

**Mahrdol**

I am pretty sure Adam said he is taking a week off to recoup from the end of the KS and he got a cold or something.

Seen some on e-bay a few times and there's a significant mark up. Reminds me of ticket scalping.

**lucasbuffalo**

Pretty sure he's gonna sleep for a week before getting going...

Since the kickstarter has ended, I have pretty much been sleeping!

The campaign experience was intense.

Amazon is collecting all the funds from the backers and then will transfer it to me. From what I know, the process takes about 2 weeks and then another week to transfer the funds to a bank account where I can finally have access to it. The 3 week holding pattern seems a little punishing... but I am actually a little bit thankful! It's allowed for some much needed rest and to start making plans / lining up schedules before everything explodes into insanity again.

  Before I go any further, I am giving a quick shout on behalf of Carlos B. Garcia. He is a close personal friend of Juan Navarro Perez whom has been a fantastic part of the Kingdom Death Sculpting Team. Juan is responsible for the Lion Knight & Court and I am super excited to continue our partnership.

Anima : Gate of Memories - 18 hours left!

if your interested in a game based in the Anima world now would be a great time to jump on board! I've backed them up and I am excited to see what they can produce with the funds they've raised. It makes me happy to see our little miniature game community attempting new projects.

Anyway!

A lot of people have been asking all sorts of questions in regards to the pledge manager, here is some official information :

Pledge Manager
We will collect information on your shipping details and rewards in the later this year. It will be at a time that is most convienent for us and allow everyone some time to finalize everything before a certain cut off date so we can ensure the production of units and eventually fulfillment.

There will be a way for to handle / accommodate special circumstance cases in regards to their pledge total. However at this time I do not know if we will be allowing pledge total modification for everyone. It's honestly a huge logistical pain and would require us to build a pretty comprehensive piece of software in order to handle everything.

Please... please do not write me to explain the pro's and con's of allowing general pledge modification. I beg of you! lol

I do apologize that this wasn't a very exciting update. I mostly just wanted to reach out and say thank you one last time.

Because now all the work begins!

Oh, last minute update: Jon-Troy has sent me some nice renders of the Lioness, ( the lion armor pinup ) and I thought I would share them with you.

**RiTides**

Well, what can you say really? Survey will go out late in the year "at a time that is most convenient" to them, and he's still hedging his bets about whether or not he'll let "everyone" adjust their pledge totals. And apparently he's been sleeping for a week

Better email yourself what you were planning to get, you'll never remember a half year from now!

**cincydooley**

That digital sculpt of the primal huntress looks fantastic.

Or bookmark the Death toll for your list; it has a save feature now so you can save your exact setup. Jamie (the one that did Death Toll) is awesome.

Indeed. The actual resin model shown in Update 15 is none too shabby either.

I just put everything down in Notepad, copied it all to an email, and put that email into my KD folder where it will sit until needed.
