Ive now had an invite to open up the Pm. Interestingly (and don't know if anyone else has reported this) you can jump up and and the 1.5 Monster box game. But doing so costs $300, compared to the $250 cost pledge during Ks and $200 if you got the black friday deal.

Its a lot of money!

Still, it's cheaper than the $400 retail price for the game!

Pledge Manager Closes March 23rd (9 days from now!)

The pledge manager is closing March 23rd at 1PM EST.



Everyone will be charged for any extra add-ons they have made via backerkit starting then. Backers that have failed to fill out their survey run the risk of forfeiting their pledge. It is essential that all survey's are complete so we can lock in production numbers.

The pledge manager will reopen before wave 1 ships to collect your wave 1 shipping fee. I have yet to decide if backers will have the opportunity to pledge for more content when we reopen it. Please do not expect it.

Leftover credit in backerkit can be used to pay for your upcomming shipping fee's.

We cannot refund additional / left over backerkit credit at this time.

If you have any issues, please head over to our support page: kingdomdeath.com/support

Support related messages that come thru via kickstarter have a high chance of being missed, do not seek help through it. I don't want to miss your messages! We want to help you!

What happens if I don't fill out backerkit?

There is no longer a guarantee that some or all of your rewards will be delivered to you. Instead we might only be able to offer a refund with at least 10% removed to cover our non-recoverable fee's. (Kickstarter, Stripe, Backerkit, Production Fee's etc...) You MUST finalize your pledge otherwise we will have inaccurate production numbers. We cannot give backers with forfeited pledges production units that have been allocated to our retail release. I am begging you, please finalize your pledge.

Late Backers that fail to complete their pledge will simply be removed from our system.

I apologize but I do not have much flexibility room here. I cannot simply order "enough" and hope people finalize their pledges in a timely fashion. The project is very large and to ensure that everything goes smoothly I must be strict.

We will of course, always do everything we can to accommodate people with special circumstances. Please reach out via our support page, not kickstarter.

This is a very critical update, hence I have decided to wait on actual content progress and risk distracting all the important information above.

Thank you in advance for understanding.

Ah... well I can't really leave the update without anything fun. Here is a 1/8th scale Cockroach Queen!

March 23rd is a Thursday, which is a bit odd, but obviously, he needs to freeze things and move to production ASAP. Totally understandable. And it's been 2-1/2 months since the KS closed, so it's not unreasonable.

I suspect

(based on the update and the fact that they've stretched it 3 days beyond the 20th which was the original plan)

that this is the very last day they can push it to without loosing a manufacturing slot (or having a costing quote expire)

Yeah, he probably needs to get numbers out over the weekend for production starting Monday morning in China.

If we closed it way back when it first opened, do we need to close it again? Was it reopened?

Backerkit allows people to close and reopen at any time until it locks. In this case, it will lock on the 23rd, and that'll be it.

If you already closed weeks ago, no further action is required at this time.

New resin stuff in the store

New spring (green) dice in the store

Encore resin in the store


sadly even the basic untracked shipping to the UK seems to have gone up again with a single resin mini being $30 (or its the glitch that's showed up previously) so I can't afford to get anything... Boo I really wanted the Bard and those green dice

(sorry no links, paste seems to be broken at the moment)

Just do what I do; spray it all white. Then spray it again. Spray it real good, now. Then waaaaaaaaaaash that sucker in sepia ink so it looks classy as feth.

Forsaker is finally back in stock! I've been wanting one for quite a long time, but whenever he's in stock, by the time I have a chance to order him, he's sold out. Well, not this time! I was finally able to get one. Now I get to try and figure out how I'm going to paint him.

I think we've got just about all the base game classes covered at this point, don't we?

Only thing I can't think of having a generic KD equivalent would be barbarians and rangers.

Otherwise it would be time to move into esoteric classes like psionics, warlocks, and summoners....

The class models are awesome and I was hoping they'd have been included in 1.5, but will wait for the Heroes Set.

Quick question for anyone who has completed/locked/etc. the Pledge Manager - does it charge your card straight away, or will it be waiting until the deadline on the 23rd to do so?

Thanks!

It's Backerkit, so they wait until the 23rd... Then everybody gets charged at once!

it will be charged whenever the creator locks things down, so the 23rd assuming Adam does it on time (you'll also be able to reopen it and change things via the link in the email you'll get until it's locked so if you have a last minute change of mind its ok)

Given that he pushed from the 20th to the 23rd, and gave a specific time to lock, announcing it via Update and blog, I think he's definitely locking on the 23.

Hello,

I have some questions and I'm not even sure if I'm in the right place to ask, but here goes.

So basically my issue is this. I have played this game three times, and now I want my own copy. I went to kickstarter and saw that the campaign is over. I was bummed, but then I saw that you can still make late pledges until the 23 of March.

Is it worth it to make a pledge now, or will there be another Kickstarter in the near future, or even will this game be coming to retail? Should I just wait a bit longer, or jump right in right this minute while I know I can get a copy of the core game?

Basically, finding information about this game seems next to impossible especially when pricing or releases are involved. I want to say I understand the creator is a very small team, but it seems like something that's raised 12 million on kickstarter would be much more accessible.

This is probably the cheapest you will get the game - and it'll be the first opportunity you will be able to get it - with no one really knowing when your next chance would be.

If you have tried it and liked it, then now would be the time.

Thank you for the response! But this doesn't really answer my question, and I apologize for this. Just to be clear, are you saying that this game will never be made available for retail sale, or are you saying that it will-with the stipulation that nobody knows when this will occur at the current time and that I should buy in now to garuntee the best price and quickest availability?

Welcome!

If you want a copy of your own, you had best pledge now. Or, you can hunt on eBay.

If you pledge now, you will get a copy at a fair discount from MSRP.

There will likely be another KS in the future, but not until Black Friday, at the earliest; with how much Adam has on his plate right now, I'd be very skeptical for this BF, maybe BF 2018. Recall that the first KD:M KS closed in 2013 - so it was 4 years until the latest KD:M KS launched.

Adam is looking at retail at some sort, but it probably won't be what you played.

The window on KD:M is very tight. Buy it or be prepared to wait a very long time.

Adam has a lot of helpers, but he's doing so much of everything.

It's accessible right now, but that will change in a week.

I don't think it's ever been categorically stated that it will never have another run - but as far as I understand it at least, without this kickstarter they wouldn't have been able to finance another run because it's such a major investment.

Given that the proposed delivery dates are so far in the future for this, it seems a reasonable guess that a 3rd run (if there was to be one) would be quite a way away.

Buying now would guarantee best price and quickest availability anyway - it's certainly not going to be getting cheaper

Without guaranteeing that there WON'T be a way to buy this later 'at retail', I'd say you really should buy it NOW if you really like it and want to - and both of those things seem to be true, so...
