Wow, more self control than I have. I know the woods expansion isn't a fantastic deal, but it just had too many of my favorite concept pieces they'd released before. Before that, I had things fairly under control, too...

Why isn't it a good deal?

In comparison to a lot of other items in this KS it looks like a great deal to me.

It adds functionally no gameplay value... or very little versus most of the big expansions, and all but one of the small-ones.

Sorry, not a great discount vs. the advertised retail.

I'm very excited about the content, love the dragon campaign as one that really nicely integrated its new nemesis (definitely my favorite variant including the core), and am hoping it's similarly an interestingly restructured and more directly cohesive nemesis set.

I went ahead and added the Lion God and Silver City, I didn't pledge for those originally. All the other new expansions (except the honeycomb) I had already covered.

Some of you guys have a lot of experience with crowdfunding, so I'll ask you. Should I use GoFundMe or Patreon to fund my pledge manager expansions?

I held steady and didn't add anything to my core set + gambler's box. I apologize for bringing the average spend down.

As as V1 bakcer with several expansions already, I'm just faced with total choice paralysis! Doesn't take many new expansions before the spend level becomes insane on top of the Silver Lantern pledge.

If I just want to make the core game as full and satisfying an experience as it can be, what would be my best bets?

I was thinking Screaming God to populate the "5" node, and Campaigns of Death to give more variety to the core game.

I heard the White Lion fight can get old quickly, since you'll be fighting early game monsters a lot more often than late-game ones. Frogdog best bet as an alternate for that?

I pretty much went all in. I got the $927 pledge and the six or so extra/promo stuff that wasn't included with the pledge. Oh, the plastic board, too.

Retirement funds are for the weak.

Bob, thought you were asking something about a few bucks left over for shipping? Someone else was saying that it sounds like you'll be billed for shipping later, and you can't spend cash towards it?

It might be worth checking if you're not sure and were assuming you could.

For those with the 1.0 Game, it looks like it comes with the stone face inserts. Am I reading that correct?

The base box came with 10 of the 30mm stone face inserts, and I believe that's the same in 1.5.

So I have just discovered Kingdom Death via BGG and youtube play through videos, and have totally missed the kickstarter for 1.5

Having never used kickstarter I am wondering, this late pledge system will give me the chance to pledge for the game?

Or is it just for existing backers to changed what they have selected?

You should be able to get the game

just click request late pledge link on the KS page

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/poots/kingdom-death-monster-15?ref=user_menu

and they should email you a link to the pledge manager once they've finished sending out all the emails to the backers (not sure if that's finished quite yet)

Anyone know how many face bases I would need for the original game + expansions + KS 2.0 expansion?

FAQs from the KS comments from the KD crew

Clark Collaborator about 6 hours ago

A couple FAQs and Answers from Dark Mediator: Check here before you send a support ticket!

When will Backerkit End?

Adam will make an announcement to inform everyone of the end date and then he will make a final reminder as well. 3/20 is the projected final date.

I'm gonna move soon. Can I tell you my address later/delay my shipment?

We will send a survey out before each wave ships. Finalizing your address before each wave helps us avoid shipping errors. We can not hold your order.

I'd like to switch my pledge to something other than Gold Lantern or the Percival's Lantern.

You can only change your pledge level to either the $350 Gold Lantern or the $2500 Percival's pledge. Those are the only two options to change to after the campaign.

I backer more than once with different accounts can I combine my shipping/pledges.

No if you pledged twice you will have to deal with each pledge individually. Adam will not combine pledges. Shipping must be paid separately as well. We do not authorized the transfer or sale of pledges. You will have to deal directly with the person that made the pledge. Adam is very strict about this.

Does anyone know for sure what is included in the "Gamer's Lantern" pledge?

I know it is all current and new 'expansions', but does that include things like the "Pathfinders of Death" and the "Hyperlight Drifter"?

It does not include promos, so no Pathfinders or Hyperlight, plus I think 2 or 3 other crossovers. I imagine it's everything else besides the pinups, including Campaigns of Death, etc.

Im sure someone has a list out there. If I can find the spreadsheets that have been floating around the comments, Ill shoot it to you.

I would say not as some of the other levels call out including all new promos specifically

I can't get at my PM at present but have a look there, it breaks down what item is in what class (eg promo, crossover, expansion etc)

Yeah, everything but promos and pinups, I believe.

It works out as 'cheaper' for more stuff - that 'Gambler's Lantern' pledge, vs. just picking what I want.

IF I get all that I want...

...which is unknown/unsure at this time, as it is a LOT of money either way!

I think BGG would be your best place to get this answered. In my case, I am thinking to lock in Abyssal Woods and Ivory Dragon, as I think the MSRPs are going to go up on each of them before they are finally released.

The rest is really season to taste. If you don't like Abyssal Woods, there's the whole Inverted Mountain series of expansions.

Yeah, I'd make my priorities:
-level 1 node monsters: gorm, frogdog, and/or weaver
-campaign variant monsters: dragon king (my current favorite) sunstalker (okay), gryphon, etc.

Those will be what sees the most play.

Is the Percival level "worth it" If I got Gamer's Lantern?
Got Gamer's Lantern + added set 2-5 of the pin-ups (have set 1 already) and all the cross-overs. Also grabbed an upgrade pack. Plan to part with my sealed copy of the core game 1.5 + all the still sealed expansions from set 1 that I already had.
Feelsbadman for missing out on Satan pledge levels as well as the Frogdog levels. :(. Would have done Percival, but unless I'm missing something, it's a lot cheaper to just do Gamer's Lantern and buy the items missing in Percival's Lantern as desired?

That's nice looking, but... word of warning to anyone interested: my group played around with some casts for stuff like this, and it quickly became obvious it was impractical-- looked awesome when you set it up, but once the game got going, it kept being hard to balance things.
