Less than a grand to go! Whoop! lol

According to Kicktraq: http://www.kicktraq.com/projects/coolminiornot/sedition-wars-battle-for-alabaster/

.. this made $32,129 yesterday.

Great big massive surge all of a sudden!

Looks like encouraging existing backers to add extra stuff works out well as a trigger to make these things really start to skyrocket.

If this keeps up, it'll start to be on track to go as crazy as Zombicide or Ogre.

Sedition Wars' daily take is higher than Zombicide's was (on average). What was interesting about Zombicide is that it made nearly 150K for three days in a row - the final three days.

Hi Guys

Been finding it hard to find the time to jump on here in the past few days - apologies for that.

I'll try and answer a few points.

The terrain is going to be the same high-quality plastic as the miniatures themselves. It will be available as a box set after the game comes out - so it's not a KS exclusive. The individual pieces are designed to replace counters in the game - so the doors will be approx 50mm wide if they are double (two squares on the board) and 25mm wide for single (one square). Other pieces are designed to replace counters that fit in a single square, so will have a footprint of no larger than 25mm. So the Exo-cyct and Gestation Vent will be tall and narrow, with a roughly circular foot-print. The Havok gun will be something that will fit inside the confines of a 25mm square too.

Some pieces will be a little larger as they fit on more squares.

With the Ridley miniature, we wanted her to be specific to KS for a couple of reasons - but mainly as she is a promo piece, rather than a part of the Sedition Wars IP. I'm cool with doing things that are references to popular culture (it's fun!), but unless there are compelling reasons for them to be a permanent part of the story, I'd rather keep them on the edges. The Ridley figure is a cool thing to do (for obvious reasons), but she's not part of what the universe is about. She will be available after KS at conventions - so any shows that either Studio McVey or CMON are attending. We'll do a card for her, but we won't be adding her in any 'official' way to the universe.

Make sense?

Sounds good mike. .
Oh and "ding "
Target reached lol

Genius. It hit it's new target so fast that he didn't have time to put the 210 stretch goal on the project main page, just the updates section.

Looking forward to what's next

Updated the front, again. This train cannot be stopped!

Can't wait to see the 230k stretch goal.

I just got an email to say that the next stretch will be related to the Solo player campaign they are currently working on

Well this is a nice thing to wake up to.... 2 Witches and Brimstones! In a manner of speaking of course.

Unlocked! Each Biohazard set will get FOUR extra Phase 3 Strain models, 2 each of theScythe Witch and Brimstone! I hope those Las-Carbines are fully charged....

And now.... at the request of a lot of our Backers, we're working on a free solo campaign which we're gonna call "Lights Out". We should have more details today and a unique stretch goal associated with it. Stay tuned....

Time to put my money where my mouth is, but I've never done this before so I have a question:

I live in Europe, and I wan't to pledge at the Biohazard level, do I pledge 100$ and the extra 25$ shipping cost is automatically added to it or do I need to pledge 125$ directly?

You need to add the $25 on your pledge level. so for Biohazard level is $125. Good to see another Portuguese buying the set .

Don't forget to add in the additional $40 on top of that fro "Riddley" and the Terrain set!

(And, being of Portuguese decent myself - go Portugal!)

@Bacms and @Alpharius: Thank you very much for your replies.

Unfortunately, "Ripley" and the terrain set are not an option at this time, with the 125$ Biohazard plus the Stormwall, my wallet is crying enough as it is this month!

I am on the same page. First thought the game seems nice and it is not expensive. But I already upgraded it to the biohazard level, now adding more on top of that is too much. As much as I feel that the terrain set is a steal. That would mean ending up spending twice as much as I firstly planned

Its plastic, not resin terrain

Though yes I must say I think I'm also in a bit of a pickle. I can feel my money slipping away so quickly

if they dont hurry and tell us the details of the next couple of strech goals were going to be past them before there posted again lol

I'd say he has until tomorrow morning at this rate. Without new stretch goals it'll slow a little bit

Personally I hope he takes the time and sets up a couple of them, like the next 3-4, so that we can really watch this thing explode. I'd rather wait a few more hours for that than have him keep having to throw them up and do it on the fly. I'm pretty sure he never expected to get his kind of reaction for his game.

I don't know about that.

This is a very similar game/setup to Zombicide, also 'managed' by CMON.

This one is being run in a very similar fashion, with the added benefit of Mike McVey.

I think expectations were (and should be!) high on this one, given were Zombicide ended!

Though Zombicide does have some extra help. Zombiecide has references to Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Chuck Norris, even the official grace of Penny Arcade to get some popularity ramped up

Solo campaign. Hmmmm. Am hoping that future stretch goals include additional terrain

Solo campaign should be fun ... I'd also like to see an official "how to play like a skirmish game instead of board game" guide too

Given the quality of the miniatures I already own from the Sedition Wars line it's not surprising that he would have this kind of reaction.

The last few kickstarter goals have seemed like they have been done on the fly though, I wish they would just post the new 5 or 6 so people know what to look forward to. I've been considering upgrading my pledge a few times, but it starts to depend more on the extras since 1 boxed set is already an insane amount of minis and 2 is ridiculous.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Ok..... I think the latest stretch goals are kind of making ME lose my interest here sadly.


$50 for a pack of glow in the dark miniatures (Optional.. ok)

The 240K stretch goal being related to this pack is very disappointing. I'm not sure if this kind of thing is normal for kickstarter but this starts to drive my interest down personally and I've spent more cash than a we've got movement at the mcvey store more than once.

Kind of feels a bit cheap, like if you don't spend the extra the stretch goals are wasted. The 240k stretch should have been giving the biohazard a set of the Lights out miniatures or something....

Just saw they posted the solo info and a pack of transparent and glow in the dark figs for $50.. and a stretch goal for more glowy stuff at 240k.

Not for me, but at 270k they're adding an extra tank drone thingy so that'll be nice. I'll probably cave and add on the terrain pack sooner or later though...

I agree w/ IdentifyZero--

1: single player campaigns are boring to me: I might as well play a video game, at that point

2: the clear minis are a pretty cool idea, representing something, but glow in the dark is pretty boring.

3: I don't really agree with the extras only related to an expansion.

This is the first real disappointment I've had with this campaign.

edit: but I do like the secondary tank, since that can theoretically expand on the main campaign.

I'm curious if the expanded campaign that was already announced will include all expansions (with the exception of the explicitly "for fun only" doctor)...

I mean, granted at $2 a figure + the beautiful bases that McVey gives it's not a bad value. Just seems odd. I might still grab them anyways, just because they might be cool to down.

I'd also like to see an official "how to play like a skirmish game instead of board game" guide too

My theory is probably this, after watching the gameplay footage:

-Use cover rules as whatever they are.
-Change Squares into inches and remove the grid(mostly because a grid is hard to make work with complex terrain).
-Add some squad cohesion rules is you feel the need.

Hmmm... While I agree that a stretch goal for adding to an option isn't too exciting, I'm such a sucker for clear and/or gimmicky models than I may just drop some Transformers pre-orders to be able to afford it if the Stretch Goal for clear characters and Type 3 Glowy Strain hits.

I don't know. I think they may have overestimated the desire for solo rules. Apart from some noise in the earlier kickstarter comments, I haven't really seen a desire. Time will tell I suppose...

Yes, I'm considering shelling out for another box set and the glowy figures. Just wish it was not the stretch goal. Kind of scary to consider but two box sets nets you over 160 figures and the scenic bases.

I've ordered the bases at the 7EU for 5 off McVey site in resin and they are beautiful, worth just as much as the figures likely.

While I'm not demanding it, it'll be a good way to pass an afternoon when the wife's not home and no one wants to play with me.
