Sounds awesome! I shall double my efforts to find some more people who are interested in the game (and hopefully a true hero!)

Kickstarter Update - Don't Lose Your Head wrote:In a continuing effort to give you what you want, we've added a new Crystal Chest to the mix: Prismatic.

Prismatic will allow you to pick the models You Want. There are a few limits however, its only going to be available to Thieves, Dragoons, Clerics, and Prismatic Knights. We're also going to put a soft limit of 1 Prismatic Crystal Chest per backer, as in we'd like you to only pick one and then fill the rest of your pledge with the standard chests, but we won't stop you from picking more then one Prismatic. Currently you'll be able to select 4 Models, at $25k you'll be able to select 5 Models, at $35k you'll be able to select 6 Models.


What's a Prismatic Knight? Same price as Knight, but doesn't include Adept (Sorry!) just Squire. There are 50 Early Bird slots for this one as well, so go grab them if its only a single Prismatic Crystal Chest you seek!

What Models Can I Pick From?

Currently:
Adept
Squire
Knight
Sorcerer
Dragoon
Archer
Earth Troll
Dwarf Gunsmith
Beastmen Laborer
Cleric
Gel Wizard
Gel Warrior
Dark Priest
Miasma Thrall
Risen Warrior
Chemist
Pugilist
Thief


Why are Void and Miasma models on there? The counter hasn't hit 30k yet?!

We've been checking with our dropped backers, asking what we can do to get them back. The three reasons we've been getting most are 'The Hurricane', 'I Want a couple of models from each chest, but not the full chests' and 'I want Void and Miasma.' So what we've decided is that we're just going to call the next two listed stretch goals as completed, and just eat ramen for the next few months. While they will likely not ship with the other 4 chests, we do think we'll still be able to scrap the money together to be able to get them to you before the August Date. If we can make it up to 30k we'll be able to do them with everything else, and get them into your hands sooner.



We still have a little surprise to add to all of the chests when we hit $25k, so lets get there!

Kickstarter Update: My Melancholy Blues wrote:You may have noticed a slight drop in our total, unfortunately our Rhapsodist Level backer was one of those affected by Hurricane Sandy and had to choose between Rhapsodist Level and home repair.

While this does move us alittle farther away from our $25k stretch goal, we can't fault them on their choice.

Outrider Hobbies Game Table

Here are the 'Terrain Levels' that come included with the Outrider Hobbies Game Table.

When you buy the base set for $60/$80/$100 you'll get two copies of the A tiles, and 1 each of B & C. If you would like more they are $15 each, and you'll be able to pick which ones you want after the Kickstarter ends.

Also the 'Play The Game' PDF is updated to include a bunch of new units to play with.

Kickstarter Update - Let Us Cling Together wrote:We're quickly approaching 50hrs left on the clock, and we know things look rough after loosing the two high level backers last night (To Hurricane Sandy Repairs & a Job Lost), but don't worry too much. We're not going to lock up any chests, everything we've said we're releasing is going to get released, and Bob has already been assigned the work! So don't worry about not getting something.

We're still confident about the August Ship Date listed on the Kickstarter as the latest we'll be shipping stuff out, and the higher we can get and keep the funding total at means the more of the casting costs we can afford earlier (which is really where the delay is going to come from).

The Adept, Squire, Sorcerer, Dragoon, Archer, and Earth Troll are all already sculpted, and will be going into production at the end of the month. Bob is going to begin working on the next sculpts in the order that their chests were unlocked, and Daniel will begin working on the Beastmen after finishing up two more Brushfire sculpts. Once we get the final tally we'll have a good idea of when each item beyond those 6 will go into production, and we'll keep you informed.

After the holidays, likely early January, we'll be sending out the surveys asking which chests/models/extras you'd like. Any backers of Squire Level or higher will be able to increase their pledge level at that point (Such as going from Squire to Knight, or Adept to Dragoon).

I'll be able to upgrade my pledge to True Hero when my lottery check comes in.

Wow, what a rebound today! Very impressive.

Funded!! What a ride, thanks to you we've been able to raise $23,783 or 158% of our goal.

What Next?

Well, we're going to spend the rest of the night playing Queen songs on Rock Band 3.

Over the next week we're going to get the Rulebook PDF cleaned up a little more and send you a WargameVault link for it. It'll be in Open Beta while we finish up getting the Art and Playtesting taken care of, but you'll have easy access to the updates of it.

What got Funded?

Here are what the final Crystal Chests look like:







You might notice that the Rhapsodist & Gunsmith were added in.

Additionally, while we didn't make it to the 25k surprise stretch goal.. we got pretty close:

Bags of Loot! Every chest is going to get 4 of these little 3D Bag of Loot markers. The 'Ripped' Bag will only be given to you guys.

Again, Thank you all for your support, comment, and pledges. PDF Rulebook soon, more model pics in a few weeks, and surveys in Jan.

Kickstarter Update #33 - Ride The Wild Wind wrote:Good Morning! We hope all of our American fans had a good holiday, and everyone survived the beginning of The Retail Nightmare season.

Bob has been hard at work on the sculpts and sent along some in progress pics of the Cleric, Rhapsodist, Dwarf Gunsmith, and Gels this morning:


If you haven't yet, make sure to grab your copy of the in progress EFT Rulebook off of WargameVault. A link to download it for free was sent to every backer of Squire Level and higher, so check your Kickstarter Inbox. There will be another update coming on Friday to fix typos, and add more fluff, art, and units. Patch Notes are located on our forums.
