Also, if you are a Herald of Death and you purchase the Gorm you get the regeneration suit pinup in plastic for free

You don't have to be a Herald of Death to get the regeneration suit with the Gorm expansion.

Currently Survivor plus all game expansions only (no other extras) is $285 so getting close to the $300 level right there but depends how far this goes and how much Adam can afford to give Herald of Death backers at no extra charge.

Survivor $155
Flower Knight $15
Dragon King $30
The Gorm $40
Man Hunter $20
Lion Knight $25

Total $285

Oh and $600k is done what's next?

But that 285 includes some of the $300 level 'free' items, so you need to make up those dollars on other stuff.

Right- once $15 gets added to it, it'll actually go down by $45 since the Lion Knight and Manhunter become free at $300.

Meaning that folks who want to spend exactly $300 and get all game-related content still have $60 left to allocate (plus any savings from the Black Friday deals, if they jumped on them).

That's not going to last until the end of the campaign I don't think, so I'll probably be choosing between expansions... and if you've read my posts so far then you know which one I'll be skipping

Very true but I was just trying to show exactly what the game and all expansions cost without taking anything else into account. It shows that by adding $15 more you actually end up with another $60 ($15 plus the $45 for the man hunter and lion knight) to spend on something else. However if you don't want all the expansions and the Gorm ($40) in particular it's cheaper (at this time) to just pick up the bits you want without going Herald of Death yet.

Is it this guy, RiTides?




On a less creepy note, someone dropped their $130 survivor pledge and I was able to jump on it! Yay for page refreshing at work!

I may do the same thing soon, making someone else pretty happy I bet.

I've got to admit if it wasn't for the fact that the Gorm Armour Kit and the regeneration suit come with the Gorm for $40 I wouldn't be buying it, if you price the Gorm Armour kit at $24 like the Rawhide Armour kit add on and the Regen suit at $15 the Gorm effectively costs $1! I can live with that.

You'd probably win that bet, CaptJake. I was happy.

Not thrilled with how the KS is progressing or did you get an early bird on a whim?

I liked (still like) a lot of the figures, but the game itself just isn't something I'm interested in after seeing the video. It is going to be too time intensive for me. I generally play one off games and this is clearly suited for campaigns/character progression.

That just isn't my thing at this point. I can't justify the costs (money and assembly/painting times and storage space) just to have the figures that I really don't have another use for.

I just feel bad for having committed and then backing out. I HATE going back on a promise which is why I have not backed out yet.

Please stop making me increase my pledge...


please?


My wallet will thank you, many times.

I have to add $45 for international shipping - and then i go over $300 and get free shipping... so basicly I think i should just set the pledge at $300 and when the surveys come out just pick and choose what things to get.

I certainly would be!

Micky- I assume you mean "effectively" free shipping, by saving $45 at Herald of Death.

Coldfire, you're right, and that was hilarious . Trying not to beat that drum, tho, and as DaveC points out it is a good deal. We'll see at the end!

no no no!!
There is no free shipping on the $300.

What they said was "Shipping counts towards the $300"
IE International accounts don't need to go to $345 to get this bonus. Not if you hit $300 your shipping is free.
This has 100% been confirmed by Adam in the comments (and I thought on Dakka...)

On the plus side, if you do go to $300, you get more than $45 worth of stuff, so it balances out.

The real question is... how much more than $300 can I limit this thing to... not can I hit $300.

Still 20+ days to go!! This is turning into a higher cost/quality reaper bones!!

If you're at $300 you're probably getting one of everything that is an add-on, and we still don't have Spidecules and the King.

Right there that's got to be another $40 each, so... another $80 already!

And, like you mentioned, there's a long way to go.

Maybe they'll be a few more freebies, but I can easily see this one being in the $450 +/- range at the end, if you want 1 of all the paid to play add-ons.

Yeah, thinking about dropping all of the pin-ups (IE only getting stuff on discount). I can get them later (if I really want them) when the excitement has died down.

However, the effectively free shipping is nice.

New update is up. And is it just me, or does the $650k stretch goal shadow resemble an humanoid dung beetle with uh... you know what next to it?

It's... it's...



Uh.... damned if I know.

Grasshoppa? Bumble bee hybrid?

Thanks for this!

I'm thinking that Orb, may not be a part of the creatures body, but maybe something that collects souls, or something to that nature. I'm looking forward to seeing it unlocked though, that's for sure!

I'm guessing we're going to hit the next major expansion at 700k?

I'm going with dung beetle with a corpse ball...

So cool... this is definitely what I wanted to see.

I do hope he's still planning to double up the armor sets, but whatever- bring on the monsters / additional playable content!

It definitely looks insectoid - can't wait for the reveal, and then the armor kits and weapons that you can build from it!

I don't think we get new Armor kits with the Minor Expansions.

I think this time we might, only because it is so different!

The update refers to the new creature as a monster, not an expansion as far as I can tell. Monsters have been coming with armour kits and pinups as well. Excited!

Well they sorta have to come with armor kits. And it only makes sense for a bug-looking one to have it. Chitin Armor or something would make perfect sense.
