Survivor Pledge $155
International Postage $45
Dung Beetle Knight Expansion $25

Dragon King Expansion $30
Gorm Expansion $40
Lantern Festival Expansion $35
Rawhide Dame $15
Pheonix Dancer $15
Lioness $15
Dragon Sacrifice $15
Leather Queen $15
Regeneration Suit $15
Holiday White Speaker Nico $20
50x Face Base Inserts $40
I adjusted my pledge on the website, but nowhere does it ask for the stuff I want. Any idea where / how I tell it what I actually want?
Many thanks!
You pledge for the "level" of game you want (Survivor). Then you total up the extra add-ons you want and manually add that much to the pledge.
If you want the Survivor Level ($155) and the Gorm Expansion ($40), you select the Survivor level in the radio buttons area of your pledge, and manually enter $195.00 ($155+$40) in the top.
After the campaign is over, you'll get an e-mail asking you how exactly you wish to allocate the extra money you have in your pledge.
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the Gorm Expansion comes with a Regeneration Suit included.

After watching the second video - I'm a little worried about the logistics of keeping the shear number of cards straight.
Think about it - if you have the game, plus a few of the expansions. You'll easily have 500+ cards. Then you'll have keep them straight. Like one campaign you play with the Sunstalker, so you'll have to mix all his cards in the appropiate piles - then the next you play with the dragon king - so you'll have to sift out the SS cards, and add the dragon cards, etc.
I'm getting worried about storing them all too.

Sweet goodness, the Lantern Festival kicks even more ass than I had expected, and I expected it to kick ass and take names like it's got nothing to lose! Being as I even asked Adam about the chance of the female Great Game Hunter appearing, this makes me very, very happy.
Currently, the list of goodies for my girlfriend and I will be looking like this:
Survivor, Flower Knight, Dragon King, Spidicules, Sunstalker, Lantern Festival, Phoenix Dancer, Spider Silk Assassin, Primal Huntress (for my buddy), and Regeneration Suit (for my girlfriend). A lot of money, but man, is that going to be worth it.
On the topic of my pledge, I hit the "manage pledge" button this morning, and upped it to $390 (I believe that's the price I'm at) and hit confirm, though now when I press "manage pledge", it still says I've pledged 155. Does anyone know why this might be? I want to be sure I get my extra stuff!
And as far as a Sodapop crossover goes, not my cup of tea, but I can see why some would be excited about it.
I know Adam said you can loot dead bodies after a monster is slain, but do you think if, out of a group of four, my character gets slaughtered while wearing a full set of armor, do you think my buddies can take it all and bring it back to the settlement? Even though I just now thought about how it's kind of rude to just leave your freshly dead friend naked on the ground while you make off with their stuff.
Kingdom Death Fanatic. Dark Eldar: Kabal of the Fragile Breath. Dark Elves: Allegiance to the Black Crown. Also, Masons, Cygnar, and Legion of Everblight. All unnamed.

Holy gak that is an awesome username. Please tell me your army is called Kabal of the Fragile Breath. Morathi's Darkest Sin has some competition here for best handle, I think.

It's funny. As tabletop wargamers these are the things we worry about, whereas all the boardgame people are worried about the minis. The level of cards here is large ish, but I promise some of the larger games in the board game world by FFG make the number of cards in Monster pale by comparison. I've seen people use those brocure holders from rest stops to organize all of their Arkham Horror cards. I think the cool thing is that in the 2nd video Adam says how modular the game is, and I think that's a great move. That way, if you don't "need" everything visible, it doesn't have to be. No reason you can't simply stack all of your settlement boards and then simply flip to the one you need to reference when the time comes.
Oh man. Idea. What if someone developed a settlement app? Sweet mother of god...
I'm more interested in how big this box of wonderful is going to be.

He may well enjoy playing Soda Pop games and/or collecting the minis
or he may even know/be friends with some of the soda pop crew
If so a Candy pinup would be complelty apropriate (if it is a Candy, he's surprised me before, LOL)
Could be that the King Expansion was all Adam had planned for. We are now seeing fluff and last minute ideas being tossed out. Expect to see a couple more of these random ones.

Yeah, but I kind of hated Arkham Horror, largely because of the setup time (also because the scenario we played was impossible to win and the loss condition was random...)
I'm actually a bit worried about KD being that style of board game, as I haven't had a ton of fun with super-complex board games (Dominion is about the most complexity I've liked in a board game).
It's interesting that it seems to be more of a light RPG than a board game, but I'm feeling more conservative about how much I'll go in for...

Oh, I'm right with you. There's a reason I have Elder Sign on my iPad and not the Arkham Horror suite .
With that being said, I think the # of cards here SHOULD be manageable. it should really only be 3-5 decks today, which isn't terrible and is easy to manage. You know what would help? Kingdom Death deck boxes. And Card sleeves.
Jesus... this game is going to cost me some serious cheddar.

First off just to be safe I'd redo my pledge (click manage, put in the correct amount/level, and complete via Amazon), it's probably a KS glitch and it's not worth risking leaving it alone just in case..... You can't end up getting charged twice as every new pledge on your cc removes the authorization for the previous one
second It looks from the skull face masks in the Latern Festival picture as if they might not only loot your gear but maybe ake your head home for a decoration as well

Okay Dakkafriends, I need you to help me make a decision. Hypothetically, I have around $340 set aside for this KS. I have around $100 left beyond what I'm definitely buying with the following monsters remainging:
Gorm
Spidercules
Lion God
ANd all the pin ups minus Holiday Nico.
So, please, just tell me what I should get. I'm having the hardest time deciding.

I'd suggest that you go for the Game expansions. The pinups, while the plastics is on a discount, it isn't as big as the ones with the gameplay. The resin pinups, aren't discounted at all. That's how I reason at least.

And all the pinups minus Holiday Nico.

Get:
•Spidicules
Edit: Just noticed I'd misunderstood something.
Anyway, Spidicules is a must. Not a fan of Gorm (even as a major expansion) or Lion God.
