Hard to pass this deal up, but I haven't played fantasy in so long and I need to conserve my funds for the dreamforge kick starter. I might be a last minute vampire , but what will I do with them all?

Its a lot of different models to paint, so your painting skill will improve! And you can learn new techniques!

Put them in a big heap and cackle maniacally?

Clearly OT, but what is the "dragon forge kick starter"?

Well that is a little underwhelming for $3,000,000; I already have a huge list of books I hould like to read, so I have no interest in adding another.

I think I will pledge soon, but I am having trouble deciding on my extras. I will already be getting the deep ones, but I can't decide on which dragon. What is the opinion on the dragons? I like the red dragon but it seems a little small.

Maybe they mean Dreamforge?

I agree with the sentiment that the last few stretch goals have been underwhelming. I am still undecided, we'll find out in the next 5 hours.

they'll have no problem getting to 3 mil. They should make their next stretch goal $1 higher than Double fine adventure

I went into it to get at the paint for half/off the retail price, as for the models it's hard to image that you get access to almost the entire miniature range that reaper has for 100 bucks. But again go in between 20 and 40$ US and load up on paints if your blah about the models..

Yeah even to get 12paints shipped for 19 is a good deal.

Now we are at $3,000,000.

Excellent! You have now unlocked Matt Forbeck's latest novel!

So, What's Next?

Kicktraq.com is a website that keeps daily charts and data on Kickstarter projects. Right now, the highest number they predict us being able to reach is $3,339,192. We should do better than that. So, right away, let's DREAM BIG!




And by BIG, I mean, the littlest reward miniatures yet - but the most for any update! We're jumping in with both feet this morning asking to beat Kicktraq's projections, and offering up these 12 adorable familiars as a reward – in addition to the other 228 Miniatures already in Vampire – Bringing your total to 240 Miniatures!!!

Oh, and that's not the only surprise we have! At set times today (and the first one's coming very soon!) we'll be revealing all new Goals! Today is going to be crazy, and full of surprises!

Hold on to your hats, Boneheads, today is going to break all the records!

What a rush

Its the most sucessfull miniature related KS to date correct?

Yes, it's also the #4 most successful Kickstarter ever, for all cateogries.

It'll be #3 if the next stretch goal is met, since it'll put it at $4k above the Double-Fine video game.

Yes.

It will likely be one of the top 3 Kickstarters of all time ever.

Here's the few contenders that are left

1. Pebble Watch (10 Million) http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/597507018/pebble-e-paper-watch-for-iphone-and-android
2. OUYA (8,5 Million) http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ouya/ouya-a-new-kind-of-video-game-console
3. Double Fine Adventure (3.3 Million) http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/doublefine/double-fine-adventure

If they beat Double Fine, than they are officially in the all time top 3.

Would sure like to see some more options...

N4 of all time? That alone is a huge statement about our little hobby... Congrats to Reaper and all backers. To be honest never espected such huge hit.

So what is this about new goals/options at set times throughout the day? There are only 3 hours left and I see nothing.

I'm for the Vampire, a clockwork dragon, a deathsleet, three of the paint sets, and a case.

Man, I went to bed last night and they were getting close to the Necromancer unlocks. I figured I'd wake up today and see 3 or 4 crazy new stretch goals already passed.

But I find a .pdf and some familiars; underwhelmed.

With only 3 hours to go and the familiars a long ways away still, it doesn't seem like we'll get a lot more unless the last few stretch goals are 20k apiece or something.

Apparently first one will be at 2pm their time, i.e. in about 5 mins. They could have made it a bit clearer what "throughout the day" meant

Here's the first time goal





We've found a Secret Door! If we raise $200,000 from this point - (total $3,320,00) we'll add this Option - Kaladrax Reborn, Concept Art byTalin! You can see his assistant, Hyrekia in the image, for scale!

So let's unlock this big Skeletal Dragon, and keep those Familiars going!!

Comments

(that's about the same amount the familiars hit on)

Did they just give us Familiars for "free?" Or is it a glitch?

No. They still cost you US$ 100 to get

But yeah, they just added them to the bargain despite being far away from the original stretch goal...

I guess the last hour or so was underwhelming compared to the initial expectations.

Not a glitch, familiar goal has been achieved.

The Bryan has just spoken

Familiars are acheived. There is only one active Goal. Everyone's Vampire Pledge is Now 240 Bones + Sophie in metal.

Kaladrax is a new goal, 3 hours to go


We have familliars (Yay)


I suspect this may be the way they planned stuff to work (or plan now)

Hope Dead Dragon arrives on the next reveal even before 200K

Well they got $125 out of me *sigh*

added bonus to the dead dragon

Creator Reaper Miniatures 3 minutes ago
YES! it includes the Hyrekia (the sorceress figure in the concept art)

2 figures for the price of one

Whoa, I didn't even notice the chick. The dragon is way bigger than I thought.

With this, I'm in for $180 - all that's left on my card. Time for some of you guys to up your pledges

The new method seems to be confusing a lot of people. I think they should have just stuck with what brung em.
