Dumb question, and probably asked already, but: I imagine you're can't swap a freebie for a non-freebie, right? Like, I couldn't pass on Raven or Nertha for a different $15 pledge? I presume the freebies have, as the name implies, no monetary value pledgewise?

Even I've got to say, reaching where they are is damned impressive, especially since they're not a company that would be regularly discussed in gaming clubs.

They will be now. Especially at any gaming club where there are people who are A) not deaf and B) too small or slow to get away from me.

Oh no, I just snagged a slightly cheaper one. I have no doubt I will be very satisfied with what I'm getting.
Although, I still can't decide if I want to drop Vera, after they hiked up her price. Her concept art isn't that exciting, but I like standard-bearers. OTOH, I could use that money to develop my smaller Kurg faction (made up mostly of freebies so far).

You are aware that the "final day" is only about 5 hours right? And that this kickstarter made 100k in 30 hours?
Daily statistics look odd on this one, because heavy campaigning on dakka and facebook made many people aware of this, pledging in the first two hours, making almost double what Cthulu wars made the first day. A 250k column at the start makes 70k look rather small.
Also boardgames are well accepted on kickstarter: No assembly, no painting, and lots of cheap plastic minis. Still, Cthulhu Wars made not much more that last two days.
I understand that impulse very well. Earlier my wife asked me how much I had spent on this. I told her I had changed my pledge several times (which was true) and I wasn't even really sure anymore (which was substantially less true). I was then obligated to ask her if she'd like to go out for mexican food at her favorite restaurant to change the subject which fixed the problem for now.

It's a good thing I'm not accountable to anyone re: how I spend my money. I'm a poor grad student who certainly shouldn't be dropping $300 on toys, but I'm spending part of my saved-up TA-ing paycheck on this. >.>

You are either missing or ignoring my point, its not as good as it could have been, I do not know of RH were really "nobodies not discussed in the community" the initial surge showed that while many did not buy their miniatures such as me, were waiting for something like this to give them money.
I feel its unfortunate that people like me through the campaign process lost interest and consolidated to less, that's the opposite direction of what they should have achieved.
Yes, 700k is not a bad amount, if they reach it, the point is they could have easily gone for much much more than that.
I can confirm that 11 hours ago was still "yesterday", with 30k pledges still added after I went to bed. So even if 30k were pledged within 5 minutes, "today" is at most 12 hours. AFAIK, new day began 5 hours ago.

Would be sweet to see it hit 700K, but it needs a little over 10K in just 45 minutes to do so
Really smart on their part breaking up those werewolves, they were such great concepts that they really carried them home!
It is true that the 3rd and 2nd to last days were slow, but they're definitely hitting a homerun on the final day (final being this last day, not how kicktraq breaks it up)

They're obviously in damage control.
Not really.
The chart that Kroot refuses to show:
says that this one is not, in fact, just like many other Kickstarters but... so what?
It is still an undeniable success - I'm sure this campaign probably will bring in double what RH has made to date for the entire existence of their company.
Almost in spite of itself!

So, just over 30 minutes remaining to reach the $720k figure that unlocks everything.
Currently on $692,619 and climbing fairly quickly. Though I don't think it's climbing fast enough to reach 720k. All we can do now is sit back and watch.
I doubt we'll hit 720, but 700k would be sweet as well.
I mean... they told us that they did not recceive that much from paypal.. but MAYBE it's enough to bump it up to 720k in the end.

It's really a fascinating exercise. While I'll be waiting till the thing is cold and still before cutting into it, right now I'm just happy that I can get the 4 wolves for my Circle army.
Hope you find satisfaction elsewhere.
I have no doubt I will be very satisfied with what I'm getting.
