Second delay... eh... yeah, soo... that jumped from 3-ish to 5-ish months late?

Disappointing?

Yes!

Least shocking Kickstarter Delay Ever?

Probably!

I have delayed the production of Kingdom Death: Monster 1.5 to make the following changes:

The Showdown board is now shrink wrapped.
The Monster Control Panel is now packed within the folded Showdown board.
Shipping box upgraded to Heavy Duty Triple Ply.
Shipping box includes foam around the edges of the game.

Estimated fulfillment date is now end of September / Early October.
(Originally end of August.)


I honestly didn't think it was shipping in August anyway...

Yeah, the announcement was that things would hopefully be shipping by gencon (presumably because it would mean backers didn't feel burned by gencon availability).

And yeah, hardly shocking, though the reasoning is a bit lame that it came this late.

I wonder when Poots is going to collect Shipping for Wave 1 Cores & Upgrades. I'm assuming he opens the floodgates after Gencon, as he is now locked in for the packaging, so he knows the exact weight and dimensions, right?

I also wonder if I'll be able to add a few more Wave 3+ items at that time.

I hope so, as there were a few more things that I really wanted but couldn't realistically afford at the time!

Yeah. I was trying to "budget" a little during the KS and initial PM. Now, there are more things I want to add, like the Death Armor and a few other pinups. Probably the Black Knight, too.

I made sure I found money for all the expansions and 'game' content I wanted - just in case we don't get another go at adding stuff - but yeah, I'm still hoping to add in 3 or 4 pinups and that gooftastic "Super Survivors" set.

Yup! Limiting my PM adds to just the stuff I really wanted was still pretty eye-opening.

Just a heads up that the PM is currently open again if you want to add more goodies.

It locks again on 30/11/2017.

Ultimately, I spent a little more than I had previously intended. Shocking, right?

While I'm still adding the Death Armor and Black Knight, I decided to get the $75 Gryphon at -$75 savings instead of $50 Honeycomb Weaver at -$25 savings. Down the line, I figure it'll be much more likely to get the Weaver near $50 than the Gryphon near $75.

When the Death Armour set comes out, would someone be willing to post which expansions are required to make all the pieces? One of the reasons I didn't get it was because I'm not getting several of the 1.5 monster expansions.

The update about it mentions making it 'in time to face the Gold Smoke Knight or any other badass standing at the end of your campaign' so I think that means all the monsters from the 'regular' KD:M box?

But yes, of course, once it is out in the wild we'll put the details of what's required to craft it.

Just be sure to remind us - as this is a ways away!

The Death Armor says it requires pretty much all of your settlement's bones, so my understanding is that it's designed such that you need to spend 20-plus LYs to farm the huge gakload of bones in order to build it. So it's doable, just requiring a LOT of work. That would make it a deliberate counterpoint to the Green Armor which requires specific bits and pieces from 4+ expansions. I suspect the optimal monsters / expansions to hunt for Death Armor will give more bones than average, as opposed to providing a particular whatnot. Of course, that's just speculation, so we'll see.

Also, I'm not getting ALL of the 1.5 expansions, either.

But I am wondering if it would be possible to build Death Armor *and* Green Armor in parallel.

I was going to buy some Necromunder stuff but then decided to spend the money on Kingdom Death instead.

I am very happy with that choice but I went overboard.

Hard Plastic Game Board, Goth Amy, Candy & Cola, Pathfinders of Death, Abyssal Woods Expansion, Black Knight Expansion, Death Armor Expansion, Frogdog Expansion, Gryphon Expansion, Inverted Mountain Expansion, Nightmare Ram Expansion and
Oblivion Mosquito Expansion.

I bought these on the initial kick starter:
Pariah Expansion, Red Witches Expansion, Silver City Expansion and First Hero Expansion.

I may never leave my house again when it all arrives.

Ya, it was the line "Made from the bones of only the greatest monster bones, the Death Armor is..." that made me reconsider it. With the Green Knight armor requiring basically every expansion from the first Kickstarter to produce, I was assuming that the Death Armor would follow like the Green Knight armor and require bones from all the 1.5 expansions to produce. But I'm totally willing to be wrong on this one because the concept art drawings for that set look amazing.

Unlike, say, Inverted Mountain, Death Armor doesn't specify them as prerequisites, so I'm hoping not to be surprised that way.

Were we supposed to pay for shipping already? I sent them a ticket asking about paying for shipping the one dinky thing I ordered from this wave instead of paying more for shipping than for the dinky, and they never got back to me.

You should have had your CC on file, which Adam would have run several days ago.

As for shipping, the KS said minimum $15 +$3/item, so $18 was what you should have expected to pay for Wave 2, even if it was just the Green Armor sprue in bag.

Wave 2 delivered in SoCal!

I received my small order this morning from FedEx, so I'm pretty happy about that!


Now where's my Gambler's Chest?!

Hopefully, it ships before the holiday season.

OK!

My Wave 2 stuff arrived yesterday!

This prompted me to think about how 'on track' (or not) Adam is here, so...

Wave 1 - Estimated Delivery Summer 2017 Core Game / 1.5 Update Pack


I'm not off to a good start because, while I definitely already have my Core 1.5 box stuff, I can't remember when it shipped/arrived.


Wave 2 - Estimated Delivery Winter 2017 (Still hoping for Summer 2017)
Current Expansions


This date was missed but I guess not by that much IF you ignore the "still hoping for Summer 2017" thing.

Winter 2017 would mean no later than December 2017?

So only about 3 months late?

Wave 3 - Estimated Delivery Spring 2018
Gambler's Box, Promo and cross-over figures


Given that he looks to be at least 3 months behind schedule on was was largely stuff that was already done, are we thinking a date of Late Summer 2018 (August) or Winter 2018 (December?) looks more realistic here?


Wave 4 - Estimated Delivery Spring 2019
New Expansions


Too far out to probably even guess at, but...I'd guess this one slips to November/December 2019, if not into 2020.

Wave 5 & Beyond - Estimated Delivery Winter 2020
???
Even I don't know for 100% what may happen during this campaign.


Do we know if Adam thinks anything from this campaign qualifies as "Wave 5"?

Nope. "Winter 2017" means "start shipping by the end of 'winter' season starting 2017", so it means that the first backer shipment leaves his dock before Winter 2017 ends Mar 20, 2018. Adam started shipping Mar 7, 2018, so he was 3 weeks early.
____

Adam anticipated a 3-month rolling delay from the initial KS estimates, so I think that's what we should measure against:

KS initial estimate:
1. Summer 2017 (Sep 22, 2017)
2. Winter 2017 (Mar 20, 2018)
3. Spring 2018
4. Spring 2019
5. Winter 2020 - if needed

KS final estimate (w/ rolling delay):
1. Fall 2017
2. Spring 2018
3. Summer 2018
4. Summer 2019

Actual Shipping (global start, not local receipt):
1. October 13, 2017
2. March 7, 2018

Depending on how one understands "spring" and "summer", it looks like Adam was within a few weeks of his final estimates. On average, both Wave 1 and 2 can be fairly counted as starting "on time".

It is possible that he's ready to start Wave 3 by "Summer 2018", again, depending on what one means by "summer". Summer 2018 is from Jun 21 - Sep 22, so that's definitely possible. All of the narrative Survivors and pinups appear ready to go, so it's just down to the Monsters and rules. I wouldn't be upset (or surprised) if it pushed into Q4 2018.

Summer 2019 is even farther down the line, but it's doable. OTOH, Adam might spend more time polishing it, so it's hard to say.

So if your a Druid then it's not really late however if your a normal person then it's pretty late.

I did think 12-24 months late would not be uexpected to be honest.

Also have we seen a candidate for expansions that won't get made and will only be advised of this after 5yrs and shortly before KD2 launches.

Your last point is especially laughable and comical, because not only the 7th ed Valkyrie shown dumber things (like being able to throw the troopers without parachutes out of its hatches, no harm done) - Irbis

No... I'm a normal person, and I'm simply going by what he said he'd do. He's doing it, and he's on time. Claiming that he's late, when he's not is petty falsehood.

If you're still butthurt over getting a 100% refund over the Lantern Festival, you should take it somewhere else. Like, I dunno, say, Palladium Books Robotech. See how much sympathy you get there.
