I just copy/pasted this from the comments. Another backer posted it originally.
This was posted over on BGG from Simone:
"We are trying to create a different experience with each quest, so you will find quests where your party is splitted in two different paths but working together activating levers to open secret passages, quests when you have to defend the city buildings, epic battles etc... "

You should get this out on the campaign page. You may be missing out on a whole fan base because at the moment the impression is that it's just a fighting dungeon crawl.

New hero as a stretchgoals

The undeads now have alternate poses (Skeletons, Death knights and werewolves)

**MLaw**

Demonologist is in
New SG

New Add On, the sculpts will be different on these, they just don't have art other than the base models

**highlord tamburlaine**

...well I'm a happy camper with that one.

**McNinja**

Ah, another game where the female models are limited to half of the clothing of males. Look, if you want to see tits that bad, there's a whole internet out there.

That would have been awesome if I were in high school, but I'm not. The models look excellent, hopefully it translates well into actual production.

Which model are we talking about here? Everyone seems fully clothed.

The demon hunter looks good. Succubi don't look any worse than any other version out there.

I don't see the moral outrage myself, but I'm sure that's a whole other kind of discussion so we'll leave that be.

**MLaw**

McNinja - That's really uncalled for. The gremlins, Nightwalkers, and Efreet are naked, the Orc Warriors are showing a lot of skin as is the troll, orc shamans, werewolves, and Berserker/Slayer.. Your argument is flawed.

**Binabik15**

The SG summary pic doesn't show for me. The wolves get alt poses, yes? How many of them are in the pledge right now? Pictures of the new poses? Or a way to get just them? Yes, I just want some alt-Antipodes/Dogfaces/Cameronian/Devil Dog-not-hit-with-ugly-stick

Infinity is expensive

This is interesting, from a PM:

I am writing because we are soon presenting a proposal for two ADD-ON BUNDLES, and I want to give you a few indications about them, so that you make the best choice, based on your current pledge level.
We are presenting two bundles:
- The first bundle, called “Dragon Slayer”, adds to your rewards the three gameplay-oriented add-ons: “Vastaryous’ Lair”, and the heroes “Samyria & Bjorn” and “Onamor & Volkor”. These three items, individually, would cost you $ 71 ($ 40 + $12+ $19). To add this bundle, a pledge $65 above the minimum is required (you save $6).
- The second bundle, called “Immortal”, includes one each of EVERY add-on in the Kickstarter – the three add-ons indicated above, and also a second set of dice, a second cloth bag, metal coins, plastic doors and chests, and a second set of Hero figures. This is a total value of $135, and as a special bonus, we will also include a second copy of the miniatures of your add-on heroes (Samyria, Onamor, Volkor) – to paint them, or to use them as “ghosts”. To add this “all-in” bundle, a pledge of $95 above the minimum is required (you save $40).
We are also adding two PLEDGE LEVELS – “Dragon Slayer Hero ” ($170+Shipping) and “Immortal Hero” ($ 199+Shipping), combining these bundles with the Legendary Hero rewards. These pledge levels are convenient for backers who are not early bird – but you ARE an early bird, so it is a better deal for you to choose the add-on bundles instead!
In case you want to include one of these bundles, just “Manage your pledge” and revise it to match the new amount inclusive of the bundle ($164 for Legendary Hero + Dragon Slayer, $194 for Legendary Hero + Immortal).
In case you are not interested in these bundles – please feel free to keep your pledge to any level you are comfortable with!

**Matt.Kingsley**

Looks like the all-in add-ons and pledges have worked wonders as in a few short hours the project has gained an additional $10,000.

The Succubus goal may actually be reached, though I doubt the Hollywood Armoury goal will be. I'm kind of okay if that doesn't get reached, though.

**highlord tamburlaine**

Without a doubt both those goals will be met, ye of little faith!

Not super impressed with the hollywood add on, but more choice of gear is more choice, and hopefully that 20k cost is going to help balance out some future baddies or heroes we may have showing up.

I think I'd be okay with more tiles too.

More than likely I'll pop up to a higher level pledge when the PM hits.

**MLaw**

This started off like one of those parties where you're like "eh.. I dunno if I'm going" and now it's 2am and we're getting the cops called and kidnapping gorillas from the zoo..

Okay, this is what a base pledge gets you.. but keep in mind they added bundles and all-in type goals.. so.. look at the page if that sounds better.. it's a good bit of savings if you're getting everything anyway.

If you missed him, the new character

That guy is straight out of a 80s heavy metal video. Kinda reminds me of Evil Ash from Army of Darkness a little too.
EDIT: Oh.. I missed the fact that's a straight up Kurgan homage. haha, nice!

**Matt.Kingsley**

Well, despite a few people dropping out/decreasing their pledge amount, Kroghan has been unlocked (reached 420k+ before dropping down to 419k).

Now the awesomeness of Victoria Kromi the Captain/Piratess has been revealed!

I sure hope we can reach 450K in 61 hours. She looks like a total BA.

~~Also the Facebook page needs 10 more likes for the final social goal to be achieved.~~
Social goal has been achieved!

**B0B MaRlEy**

450K reached, the pirate is in! Next is the quest "generator" at 475K

**Barzam**

I haven't really been following this, but it looks like some cool stuff has been added. I like the fact that the undead female pirate is actually a hero character. Not enough games let you have good undead. Being able to use a werewolf as a hero is also a nice touch. Again, not enough games let you be a goodguy werewolf. They should put some more animal companions in though beyond just the wolf.

**B0B MaRlEy**

The were-wolf is actually any character. You can contract lycanthropy apparently.
About the companions, there are Add-ons like that. There's a druid and her bear, and a pack with a summoner with some demon-ish servants

**Barzam**

My comment still stands though. Rarely do you get to have a werewolf hero. I just saw the bear. That's exactly the sort of animal companion I'd hoped for. Now they need some sort of small dragon companion.

**B0B MaRlEy**

That seems out, but there IS a dragonman hero in the add-ons

**Matt.Kingsley**

And 500k has been reached!

Spoiler:

**highlord tamburlaine**

You forgot what we got at 500k, for those few slowpokes who haven't pledged yet!

That Hellspawn is supposed to be bigger than the troll, which is naturally a fair bit bigger than the heroes already.

**Matt.Kingsley**

Whoops, thought I had linked the Hellspawn image too. Obviously not

No doubt he's going to be tough to take down. I wonder if they're planning on making him require more heroes to take on than the normal bosses, like what they were thinking of doing for the dragon?

**Sining**

Ended up getting one of the 99 dollar EBs that opened up. For 99 dollars, it's pretty good value and I may add on more in the PM

**Bioptic**

So, they have production plastic photos of the 5-headed dragon from the factory! And I think it looks rather astonishing - I know that CMON, Conan & Reaper are doing great things with big models for boardgames, but I think that this is right up there (and will still fit on the table):

Put that in a box with 5 little dragon men, a new campaign and a few more room tiles, and I'm more than happy to pay $40.

**Alpharius**

If that's a production model...

...wow!

**RiTides**

Oh man, I totally missed this campaign... and that model actually looks better than the render, which is pretty incredible!

Is there a way to back this campaign late, I see the pledge manager just opened last week?

**Alpharius**

I was about to ask the same thing...

**RiTides**

Well, I sent them a quick message about it - will let you know what they say

**Bioptic**

Supposedly production model, assuming the factory isn't doing a bait and switch:

We will give you a more detailed report at the beginning of the new year, but I wanted to share immediately what I got in my mailbox this morning - the photos of the first injection shots of mighty Vastaryous!

This is a very complex model and we were a little worried about the transition from 3D to resin to plastic, but our factory team did an amazing job, preserving its beauty and massive presence...

We are now anxiously waiting to have the physical sample in hand.

The master resin for comparison:

**RiTides**

Thanks for that, Bioptic! They've got a nice photo setup - I would have thought that was a render if it hadn't been called out otherwise (the resin pic, not the production one).

**Uriels_Flame**

After seeing the dragon, I also have inquired as to possibly getting in on the KS pledge.

These guys are doing some nice work.
