Coolmini is telling me that my order was shipped to the address at which I currently reside, but still there is no package for me. It should have been here by now, but it's not. I am livid. If it turns out it's been stolen, I have no chance at getting those miniatures again.

Why are kickstarters so damn frustrating?

How long has it been?

Australia Post should not leave parcels that are big enough for the van drivers unattended on your doorstep - they should be carded instead. Unfortunately, most of the van drivers these days are subcontractors and not actual employees. I've had an expensive parcel dropped off at the local LPO on a Friday aftenoon after the lazy fether didn't even bother to try and deliver it (to my work, I waited there till 5:30pm). He dropped it at the LPO without even carding it, which I only found out about much later. I ended getting it a week later after calling the retailer and ringing both LPOs in my local area. Actually, from memory it was a huge box with 2x Dark Vengeance LE and a pile of Heroscape stuff in it. I was not happy.

**H.B.M.C.**

Yeah. I work from home twice a week and I find cards in my mailbox for the days when I've been at home.

Automatically Appended Next Post:
Point-blank – When firing at Range 0, the Survivor chooses freely the targets of his Ranged Combat Actions and can kill any type of Zombies (including Berserker Zombies). His Ranged weapons still need to inflict enough Damage to kill his targets.

The Point-Blank Skill is perfect to make use of Ranged weapons like you would with Melee weapons. It's especially useful against Berserker Zombies and very spectacular with Sawed-offs loaded with both Plenty of ammo and Spare change.
By the way, what is Spare change? That's another story.

**adamsouza**

Here comes the REAPER !!

REAPER: COMBAT – Use this Skill when assigning hits while resolving a Combat Action. One of these hits can freely kill an additional identical Zombie in the same Zone. Only a single additional Zombie can be killed per Action when using this Skill.

**adamsouza**

SUPER STRENGTH – Consider the Damage value of Melee weapons used by the Survivor to be 3.

anyone know when the pledge manager for Zombicide season 2 closes?

I searched through all my emails from CMON/Kickstater and found nothing other than the "pre-confirmation"

also has the second shipment from Zombicide season 1 ever got to US shores?

**adamsouza**

Off the top of my head I think it was the 28th of last month.

Wave 2 of Season 1 should be in hands of all those who pledged for it. I've had mine for nearly a month and I was on the back end of peopel receiving it.

**adamsouza**

Here is Mitch from Special Guest Kevin Walker box...

Just... Wow. A French player group (from Martinique, with love) created wooden ID cards for Season 1. Note the illuminated and giant-sized first player marker, the experience circle and the Skill wooden tokens. An amazing work from Xavier Laurent!

Shipping update

Update #44 · Jun 23, 2013

We're a little ahead of schedule on Season 2, so we will likely be shipping through August instead of September as originally planned. Please make sure your address is up-to-date in the pledge manager: https://ckpm.coolminiornot.com- if you don't have a login link, request a password reset using the email address you supplied us in the survey, or if that doesn't work, your Kickstarter email address (if different).

These are the items that will ship in wave 1:
◾Prison Outbreak
◾Toxic City Mall
◾Zombicide Season 1
◾BOZ1 - Walk of the Dead
◾BOZ2 - Toxic Crowd
◾BOZ3 - Angry Zombies
◾BOZ4 - Walk of the Dead 2
◾All 3 Tile Packs
◾Fugitive pack (Red Dice, Orange Dice, extra zombies, Promo set 1 - Aunt Rose, Brad, Kirk, Ralph, Thaissa)
◾Skull trackers
◾Red Dice
◾Orange Dice
◾Glow in the Dark Dice
◾Zombie Dogz
◾Companion Dogs
◾Dakota
◾Lea
◾Adriana
◾Rick

These items will ship later, likely before Christmas rather than next year as originally planned, but that has yet to be confirmed:
◾Promo Set 2 (for Inmate/Fugitive level backers) - Achille, Chuck, Gary, Mack, Smith, Mike
◾Adrian Smith box
◾Karl Kopinski box
◾Kevin Walker box
◾Moustache Pack
◾Helen
◾Will
◾Ross
◾Fred

We'll also be launching the game at Gencon which is in August, so you may be shipped before or after Gencon - there shouldn't be a huge difference between USA and Europe as containers will be leaving at the same time.

**Rotgut**

It's awesome that they are ahead of schedule!

**gunslingerpro**

While that it good news, I'm not holding my breath for it.

Call me a cynic.

**NecronLord3**

No it makes far more sense for them to have product ready for sale at Gencon vs. the month after. And they couldn't very well be selling product to the general public before shipping it to the Kickstart backers as that would just look bad and have a negative effect on future kickstarters for Zombicide.

Project Update #45: Zombicide 2 - last chance to fix address for shipment 1

Posted by CoolMiniOrNot

We'll be generating shipping labels from next Monday, so if you haven't already logged in to the pledge manager here: https://ckpm.coolminiornot.com and confirmed your address please do so immediately. Shipments will go to your confirmed address as of 14th July 2013, or if you do not confirm your address by then, after this initial shipment has gone out (i.e. after everyone else).

If you don't have a password, please request a password reset at the email address you gave us on your survey, and then check your spam folder.

Shipping next week? Wow. Talk about fast.

**DaveC**

Nope shipping in August but you must finalise your address by the 14th of July

**Rotgut**

They want stuff shipped before they show it at gencon, and its shipping from china yes? So chances are it will start shipping in late July.

Our friend and big brother Paolo Parente is now spending his time at San Diego comics (bastard) and today he has shown the first of 4 drawings he created for a new Zombicide Special Guest box.... And here we share... In 2014 the box will see the light!

**NecronLord3**

Sam Rami Guest Box?

**cincydooley**

Naw, it's a Paolo Parente Guest box. Which should be awesome. His art style is pretty fantastic.

Still looks like a combo of characters from the Evil Dead Remake.

Gencon pickups - Zombicide S1, Prison Outbreak and Toxic City Mall only

Update #46 - For backers only · Aug 7, 2013 · 30 comments
Gencon is in a couple of days (August 15th to 18th). We'll be bringing limited copies of Prison Outbreak and Toxic City Mall (and Zombicide S1) to Gencon, and they will be available for Kickstarter backers to pick up while stocks last.

In order to collect them, you'll need to bring a print out of your packing slip from the Pledge Manager (https://ckpm.coolminiornot.com) and a photo id to confirm your identity, which must match your packing slip. No exceptions - if you forget your slip/login/id we'll ship it to you as normal.

If you do pick up your games at Gencon, the rest of the wave 1 stuff will ship to you after Gencon (i.e. Dogz, Dog Companions, Box of Zombies, KS exclusives etc) - we won't be bringing any of these to the show.

**Aeneades**

Some Season 3 news has come to light from the brazillian RPG con. They are considering a "10 Years later" theme with weaker malnourished zombies. They are also considering moving to a more team based setup with more to consider for survival then just killing / avoiding zombies.

More details can be found in this thread over on BGG which includes the video interview - http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1013719/ehm-brazilian-rpg-con-season-3-rumors-anyone-pr

**adamsouza**

During the last kickstarter, they had already mentioned that season 3 was going to be more survivor verses survivor, like Walking Dead season 3 was.

The 10 years later angle is new.

Good catch, thanks for sharing.

Gencon update #2 - Saturday pickup only
Update #47 - For backers only · Aug 12, 2013 · 5 comments

The train Season 2 is on has been held up on the train from LA to our Atlanta warehouse (apparently by a union), so we're only expecting it on Friday rather than last week as originally planned.

What this means is that we will be trucking up the Prison Outbreak and Toxic City Mall to Gencon Friday night to get there Saturday morning. This is if there are no further delays to the train. So if you're planning a Gencon pickup, please come by on Saturday, we won't have anything for you on Thursday or Friday.

If the situation changes we will update again as we get more information.

**Rotgut**

Got a tracking number today, so stuff has started shipping!

**DaveC**

shipping and stock problems have now affected Zombicide only The boxed games will ship now with the wave 1 extras to follow in October and Wave 2 next year as planned

Project Update #50: Shipping begins
Posted by CoolMiniOrNot

We've started shipping (albeit a little slowly as we get the line geared up), and tracking emails should start going out every other day when we have a chance to batch upload them.

EU shipping has not begun as it is waiting on custom packaging and one container to arrive (with Dogz and Companion Dogs), once that clears customs and is in the warehouse you will see tracking info appearing via UPS emails as well.

Thank you for your patience as we try to get you your rewards as quickly as possible!

Project Update #52: Shipping update - core games only being shipped
Posted by CoolMiniOrNot

Due to the chaos of Gencon, we've just realized that one of the containers destined for the USA warehouse containing part of the Fugitive packs, Lea, Dakota, etc is still not with us.

In order to not create further delays in shipping, we're going to start shipping the core games (Toxic City Mall, Zombicide and Prison Outbreak) from both US and UK warehouses immediately.

The rest of the items will instead be added to the 2nd shipment, which we are working to advance to December rather than Q1 2014.

We're very sorry for this weird turn of events, and are working to get you your games as quickly as possible.

follow up:

Project Update #53: Shipping update 2 - 3 shipments
Posted by CoolMiniOrNot

Good news everyone! We'll be shipping out the core games (Season 1, Prison Outbreak, Toxic City Mall) from today. (Shipment 1)

We will be shipping the remaining items from shipment 1 from October 1st.(Shipment 1.5).

Shipment 2 will be as normal (Shipment 2)

Once again, sorry for the delay and confusion. Packing slips and shipment info will be updated on your pledge manager as soon as we can, but you should receive tracking info for your core games very soon as we start batch uploading.

Also thank you for those that suggested holding off, but we want to bring everyone up to parity with the convention pick ups (who only picked up core games) as soon as possible, and the everyone will be on the same footing.

**Popobates**

Had mine when I got home from work today

prison outbreak, zombie dogs, comp. dogs, extra zombies, dice, and survivor pack with brad, thaissa, Kirk, rose and Ralph including zombievor versions. Now to learn how to play.

**Azazelx**

Interesting, I had the impression they were holding off on all that extra stuff until Wave 1.5. Did you get a despatch email?
