I got my KS copy through this morning!

Initial thoughts:

Wow -- what an amazing deal in terms of content. Physically this is one of the heaviest boardgame KS packages I've received. Everything from the stretch goals is packaged separately, in a useful but plain box with sturdy internal dividers for the cards etc., though I was just about able to fit everything into the main box.

It looks very much like you could just dive right in and start playing, without needing to study the rules. Most of the rules are on the cards or in the Book of Stories, so that you can just find them out in play.

Physically all the components are highly attractive, with the exception of the miniatures, which are definitely of standard boardgame component quality rather than the "high quality miniatures" promised by the KS campaign. This is not a problem for me -- I backed for the game, and didn't anticipate painting the minis up for this or any other purpose. The sheer amount of effort that clearly went in to the actual gameplay, more than makes up for any shortcomings there.
