Because I frankly don't care that much anymore at this point, I will have my interest rekindled when the expansion arrives, but the chances of doing it sooner are close to zero.
So them going out of pocket and send 2.0 material for me is wrong, so I was wondering how I could select to have them shipped with the rest of the stuff.
To be fair; that artwork was thrown up late for a stretch goal, and was not a final art piece. It's actually much better than some of the quick sketches that they did at the end of the first Myth campaign.

Subject: Re:[Kickstarter] MYTH Journeyman - Release the Kraken!!!
MegaCon vs. Kenny...I mean the Kraken, part 1
So here is part one of the fight with the Kraken world boss, but there is way more going on here than just that. This video shows:
- Journeyman heroes in combat
- Kraken world boss
- Kraken being controlled by a player (Kenny)
- Darkness app
The Kraken's mechanics are still a work-in-progress, but they are close to final. We've made a few adjustments after this fight, but any adjustments at this point are quite minor. Hopefully, the video gives you a really good idea how a world boss fight works.
Note from the Kraken...I mean Kenny: He would like to point out that Tom cheated in part 1 and Greg cheats in part 2. He wasn't worried too much because the outcome is not really in question.
We had a ton of fun with this. Every world boss fight is a blast. Perfect little events at cons and such for players that know how to play Myth.
Sorry if the table talk gets a little too chaotic. I'll have part 2 next week. It was a heck of a battle.

Most US folks now have their 2.0 base set upgrades,... Asia has all shipped,... Australia backers are already getting shipments.... EU started shipping this past week.
Here is part two of the Kraken fight,...... I like how the App also tracks DOT attacks

So guys I got a question. I have Kickstarted quite a fair amount of mini board games for use in RPGs, and so I have organized my minis into some fairly broad categories. Stuff like ORCS, TROLLS AND GOBLINS or DEVILS AND MONSTROSITIES. So I have got most of my miniatures nice and tidied away.
Except for the cyclops monster things. I have been debating with myself just where I could categorize these guys. They're just a weird union between plants and monsters, so I just don't know what category I could make use of from them.
So if you guys were in my shoes, where do you think would be a good fit? Here's a list of my categories:
PCs/NPCs ---KNIGHTS & WARRIORS
---ROGUES & VAGABONDS
---SORCERERS & WARLOCKS
ORCS, TROLLS AND GOBLINS
DEVILS AND MONSTROSITIES
THE UNDEAD
THE BEASTKIN
BEASTS OF THE WILD
REALLY BIG MONSTERS
REDSHIRTS
INSECTS
RATKIN
MAGICAL ROBOTS
I guess we're close to shipping the first two expansions?!?
Update #124

Shipping Due
Journeyman backers!
Shipping has now been applied to your account per your region. This is for the Myth Journeyman expansions: Shores of Kanis and Blackwall Warrens, and the card sleeves. To login into the pledge manager to pay for your shipping and checkout, click the link below:
Please note: No other stretch goals or addons are being shipped with this wave. Only orders that are completely closed with a zero balance (or credit) will be exported from the pledge manager once shipping begins. As long as you don't owe us money, your stuff will be shipped.
If you are a backer that has been affected by the PM dumping stuff that had been added and you paid for. Those things are being added back. Paying for shipping will not interfere with this process. We have a record of The elements that have been dumped. Those elements aren't being shipped this wave. This shipping cost applies to those things listed in the update only.
Holy crap! $85 for shipping! That's ever worse than Japanese retail pricing. I think I'll have to impose an austerity program on myself for the rest of the year.
It always mystifies me that shipping out of Japan is always quite reasonable, regardless of size and weight, but sending anything in is like highway robbery.
Poorly lit photos of my ever- growing collection of completely unrelated models!
I imagine that it's because of protective tariffs or some such. I had to pay import duties on Myth 1 and Kings of War 1 after assuring the customs officer that the stuff wasn't available in Japan. It was the most difficult phone conversation I have ever had.
A bit of a thread necro here,... but as the two expansion boxes have been delivered; I thought there might be some discussion.
I'm generally very happy with the results. The minis are the same quality as Myth1 (returned to same production after the Recon problems), and the new printer for the other materials has done a great job!
The tiles are higher quality stock; the colors are more vibrant (the colored guide lines are much easier to see). the booklets are high quality as are the cards. The cards do have a slightly different feel,... and this could be an issue for those who don't use sleeves,.... but for me, there is so much shuffling of the hero decks that it almost requires sleeving (so it's a non-issue for me).
I'm really looking forward to trying out these new heroes and mechanics.
Can't wait to try out the Necromancer! What are you thoughts?
man, I know that feeling! not a lick of paint on any of this stuff; but were firing up a game on Friday!!!!
I have plans to really do these up nice,.... acrylic bases for everything so the board art shows through,..... once the JM stretch goals arrive it will be something like 500 plus minis all together!!!
I think I need to just start with the heroes and get this underway.

Holy cow! I'm glad you guys brought this up. I must have missed an email from Megacon because when I checked BackerKit it said I still owed them $12 for shipping!
When they said me about shipping Greece was under (really tight) capital control and I could not pay them so I will pay them for the next wave and receive them on the next wave, though they warned everybody that waiting for the next wave will be more expensive probably as far as shipping goes.
I will not paint Myth I view it as a boardgame and I refuse to paint boardgame pieces, there will probably be some exception in the future but I have not seen it yet.
If I was not into wargames and had a huge backlog I might consider it.
