He did: Black Friday Gambler's Lantern 2nd Face 927 $
Btw. got the Black friday lantern! Yay!
I made that mistake earlier the $777 is upgrade only the $927 includes the core boxed game that's what the extra $150 pays for.

...IF we have any crossover projects, they won't be in the Gambler's Pledge. Due to the nature of licesning and respecting other people's IP we have to keep them separate

@Kingdom Death: Just to confirm, we have unlocked a bunch of upgrades/expansions/promos/etc with $3.6M and it's just that you are coming to be teasing those out over time?

yep! Gonna be more of a "stretch goal reveal" system I think. Lol, certainly did not expect any of this!

We're still waiting on a few things, yet....
Like?
Final KD:M Kickstarter Update Scheduled for November 5th. (Took off info for Lantern Festival.)
•Aya Painting Guide - Complete
•Kara Black Skin Painting Guide - Complete
•Digital Art book - Final Copy & Then into copy editing
•Holiday White Speaker Nico Settlement Card - Going to add this to the printed card pack (along with the cards from the recently released plastic models, that many backers already have). These will be available for cost + labor + shipping.
I never felt Exploding Kittens fit in tabletop games, there is a playing card game category but it probably doesn't fit neatly into either. KDM 1.5 should beat it anyway.
Just add the extra cost to your existing pledge don't change level. Hit the manage button then change your pledge scroll down to current reward if you want Frogdog change the pledge amount to $800 ($750 + $50) and continue

It's understandable this way he knows exactly how many core games have to be ordered as soon as the KS ends and get them done straight away rather than waiting for a PM to close.

He seems to be aiming to get them shipped as close to wave 1 as possible. He has said that Core games will ship on their own as the box is to big and heavy to add anything else to it so what ever happens it will be 2 lots of shipping and 2 sets of fees.
“
Also Formally added a wave 2 for current expansions. I am being conservative with the estimate. MY HOPE is that they also ship summer 2017.

.....I am actually ok with having the upgrade pack as an add-on. Not so much the core game though. I am just trying to figure out how useful that would really be?
Dec 8 2016 on Kingdom Death: Monster 1.5
Allright I will think about it some more. For now, until its formally added to the add on menu or advanced in an update. It's not available.

With the latest update the Gamblers lantern pledge has finally exceeded its $777 value (its now at $810) still lots more to go especially now that Frogdog level gets the same content for $1000

First hint at possible delays to the summer 2017 wave 1
Kingdom Death 4-time creator 1 minute ago
@Edward, we have 10,000 units in print. Due to the size of this campaign, I am not sure if that will be enough, which will lead to delays.
10,000 copies of the 1.5 game must have seemed like loads at the start now it may not be enough! (already over 11,000 base games needed to fulfill wave 1)
Also there are discussions about bumping the Gambler Chest to $150 as an add on several combinations discussed but there's a chance your 1st will remain at $100 but only if it's not already part of your pledge and any extras will be $150. Await an official announcement though.

There was requests for a Secret Weapon KDM tablescape board during their KS Adam must have taken note and tablescape boards are made by the same factory as KD plastics.

@Ringtailfox Fans, I jokingly promised Anna that I wouldn't put up the Ringtail Fox Set, unless we hit $13M. Don't worry, I am super excited to create it. It just won't be part of this Kickstarter Campaign. It's scope got so big, It would end up being its own core game!

TR: How does it feel to have the fourth highest funded Kickstarter ever?
AP: Surreal. I certainly need some downtime to prepare for the huge amount of exciting work we have ahead of us!
TR: The King, Scribe and other parts of the cancelled Lantern Festival didn’t make an appearance. Are there plans to add them to the game at a later date?
AP: No comment.
TR: The much requested Ringtail Fox didn’t make an appearance this campaign, and from the sounds of it, it will have as much content as the core game itself. Will we see anything Ringtail Fox related before this KS is finished, or will people have to wait until 2020?
AP: I am not sure at this point. My priority is now focused on the new round of promises we made this campaign. There are miniatures to make, manufacturing deals to finalize, tons of content to design, an onslaught of emails to answer. Ringtail Fox is going to have to wait.
TR: Can you elaborate on the core/upgrade pack delay just a bit?
AP: Oh yeah. That one is pretty simple. Before the campaign launched I got the long-winded manufacturing process on 10,000 core games and 5,000 upgrade packs. It looks like we now need 25,000 core games tho! So yeah, the physical delay of making more things!
TR: Any other comments?
AP: THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!!!! I WANT TO HIDE FROM THE WORLD BUT I PROMISE I WONT! LOL

685 Card errors, about 1500 backers that still need to fill out their survey. Emailing final warning shortly! Gotta keep chasing everyone up so we can get our production numbers ready! The factory need to know how many CONTAINERS of raw plastic to order!
Estimated Wave 1 Fulfillment Start: End of August 2017.
Plastic production for the core game and update pack was finished as of April 2017 and we have approved the paper assets for production!
Base Inserts
A lot of you have reached out to me requesting that the base insert packs be added to wave 1 fulfillment. I wanted to let you know that I am trying my best to accommodate what SEEMS like a pretty simple request. Please understand that all the timetables are pretty tight and it is likely I won't be able to do this. I am trying tho!
Expansions
Right now production of the plastic components are underway and I am lining up the schedule so that we can fulfill these for the holidays of 2017. I do not have any dates from the manufacturer yet, but since its a straight reprint, it SIGNIFICANTLY reduces turn around time. So take that date
Card Pack
Ah yes. The ever-elusive card pack! I have slatted this to be available around Jan 2018. If possible I'd like to move it up to coincide with Wave 2 for the holidays. The plan is to sell this via our web store, it will not be available thru backer kit.
Gencon
We will be attending Gencon 2017 as exhibitors! Our Booth will be in the same location as last year and in fact, we got a little bit bigger!
New Developments
Personally I have been hard at work on the content for advanced Kingdom Death monster. The philosophy system has already been thru a host of alpha's and we are looking to start actively testing it's first prototype somewhere in June. It has been extremely satisfying to comb back thru everything and to embellish on the settlements growth via survivor development. The system is leaning more towards survivor's learning and contributing so the curve of powerful survivor's being developed is more in line with the escalation of the game and less of a random development.
Lion God Expansion, Expansion - Silver City
Dungeon romp replaces the hunt phase. Currently have the Lost Knight up and running on the showdown board, but we are going back in and incorporating it's fight experience more into the dungeon delving element of the game.
Inverted Mountain
We are developing all the monsters for the Inverted Mountain campaign at the same time, so we can ensure that its the best campaign arc yet. Insanity is going to play a major role, with certain disorders being prerequisites to innovations, fighting arts and sometimes gear!

Judging by the loop on the top - maybe it's a special release KD Christmas ornament we'll be able to get come December?
The "fruit" of the Lonely Tree has a similar hook/ring on it and it takes on some of the characteristics of things it's eaten may be it had KFC for dinner
Her wings are missing in the earlier pictures here's a more recent one and below apparently these are parts of the plastic board (still WIP) no other news on its final design
A few months work was done on KD Labyrinth but it's been sidelined for the moment
The plan for a cheaper more retail focused version of the game KD Quest has been shelved.
The sprites are for a PC game in the vain of old school Prince of Persia
At 24 (or maybe one or two more) expansions KDM is pretty much done and future focus will be on other things.
2 containers of 1.5 games have already shipped but this isn't nearly enough to even get started shipping to backers.

KD:L - Labyrinth, the game that highlights Twilight Knights, White Speakers and other hero level classes.
I've listened to it all now - not much else in there.
Adam is designing the monsters for Red Witches and Oblivion Mosquito himself.
Anna is doing inverted mountain. Campaign is more insanity based with limited survival some disorders required for crafting and innovating. The inverted mountain is literally an upside down mountain not a pit as some seem to think.
A game with preassembled PVC miniatures is definitely not going to happen.
Settlement events for "3 Ages" may be added to KDM advanced rules.
The Gambler's ball is actually a fruit
