Screaming god expansion is the first must-have of this campaign for me.

Sadly the murderer is just not working for me at all, the sculpt just gives off an "I'm a bit bored and lonely" vibe. Also, whats with the amount of blood flowing from the limb he is holding?

Doubtless I will be pledging for a a lot more than my current $50 by the time the KS finishes, but the campaign is a little hit and miss so far.

To be honest, I'm glad there's nothing all that good in the Gambler's Chest. I hope there never is, because it is a lot more money to move up to a pledge that includes it, and I have no interest in the first hero expansion. I may just stick with the 1.5 upgrade the way things are going, as I already have enough expansions to give plenty of variety. Especially with the new ones not coming with armor kits.

But the Screaming God does look pretty good, and it sounds like Nightmare Ram will make for an interesting and very different encounter, so maybe I'll give in on those. I'll have to see what else becomes available, as I'm sure there will be a lot over the next month.

I'm feeling pretty jazzed about the Gambler's box myself.

New figures, new rules, a month to let them add stuff to it, and I get the feeling the dramatically locked 44/45 box should prove something interesting.

At the very least it's given me a daily dose of entertainment and wanting to see what the next update brings.

TR: Does the already incredible success of the Kickstarter mean that every number on the Gambler’s Box will be revealed? What happens if you roll a duplicate number that has already been revealed?
AP: Every number will be revealed. I haven’t rolled a duplicate yet. So I haven’t decided what will happen.
TR: A few people have expressed concern about the unknown value of some of the pledge levels. Do you have anything to say to the people who don’t know how much you packed into the first Kickstarter, or for those who think you may be playing it
conservatively?
AP: I mean… we did call it the Gambler’s Lantern… They will just have to wait and see.
TR: Is there any chance that new Settlement Events will make it into the 1.5 core box/upgrade pack?
AP: There are a few we revised. But we don’t have any new ones planned.
TR: What can you tell me about the Forsaker-dog-bird miniature shown at the end of the KS video?
AP: We will see the Frogdog at some point during this campaign.
TR: Multiple choice time: How many new expansions will there be?
A: 1 – 5
B: 6 – 10
C: 11+
AP: As many as we can manage of course! I know everyone is excited that we slammed dunked the funding to such an extent. It is amazing. However, I have to calm down and approach everything practically. Kingdom Death miniatures and content are very expensive to develop and I can’t put the company into hot water again. Our first campaign ended up much closer to a $4M total, all said and done. If it wasn’t for our strong resin sales and after campaign sales. We would have been toast. Too many people love the brand now, so I have to be much more fiscally responsible.

KDM Kickstarters aren't so much about adding loads of free stuff to the base pledge (well, not structured as such per se, but some do happen, especially when Adam has a wild idea and finds room on a sprue).

But the base pledge is a 20 lbs box crammed full of models and game for almost 40% off the very high retail - not a nigh crippleware base game that gets filled out with stretch goals.

KDM is much more about unlocking major expansions, with pinups and promos being fun things along the way.

One thing the Gambler's Box has over the survivor pledge is that there is actual game content to it this time around.

Nah, you guys broke the store. We had more orders in 24 hours then all of KD history.

Beasts of War Lantern Year 3 is up! http://www.beastsofwar.com/monster/play-kingdom-death-monster-lantern-year-three/

OK. This is the Kingdom Death kickstarter campaign after all. I have decided I am rolling with it. True Form Satan's Lantern is now a mystery tier. I won't be revealing any details about it until the campaign ends. Pledge at your own risk. Every morning, if the tier is full. I will open another spot or two... or 6! I HAVE EMBRACED THE DARKNESS!

I admit it. That was an accidental post. However, if the 3 backers in the pledge level don't leave, I could maybe open it up and try to do something interesting / fun. But it would be at the peril of anyone that dares back it. Since, there are NO LISTED rewards on that level.

@LegolaSS, there will not be any more Gambler's Lantern pledge levels. I liked the suggestion of adding a "gamers lantern" tier, but that needs to wait until the end of the campaign. I can't shoot myself in the foot by over-promising (a trait i seem to have!) and then end up losing our resources developing and producing rewards.

CHECK OUT THIS AWESOME FAN ART!!!! http://kingdomdeath.com/downloads/THANK-YOU.jpg

SOMEONE MADE CUSTOM ART!?!? https://twitter.com/The_M0thman/status/804171643627180033

@Freyaldo, neither you or I are VAT experts (tho I did spend 2 weeks reading about VAT law and policy) that is why I can confidently say the following: I do not know what the law will be when we start to fulfillment. Backers are responsible for paying any import fees, taxes, duties, VAT and any other fee's their government or post office has. EXPECT TO PAY THEM. If for some reason you don't have to, then that's awesome!

@Reaper, my plan from the start was to make the Gambler's Chest into a final for retail product. That makes my own SKU list and the more logistical side of the business much easier. It's yet to be seen how much the retail will have to be though. With the Gambler's Chest, I will be happy so long as we don't lose money on it! lol

@Andrew Huang, that lantern tower was a gift from a fan! There is a tutorial on youtube on how to make it. I suggest contacting this guy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROQLa2eIPYw

@Brandon, there are no guarantees about how exactly the pledge manager will work until after the campaign ends. Last campaign, we ended up having to raise prices because I undervalued many aspects of the project.

We got written up on Polygon! http://www.polygon.com/2016/11/28/13764236/kingdom-death-monster-biggest-kickstarter

Those BoW vids are definitely worth watching. Quite long but definitely give people who have no idea about how the game plays, such as me, a sense of the mechanics. Also haven't seen Warren genuinely so excited about a game for some time, which is probably a good sign in that the guy must play practically every new game that comes along.

$6,666,666 - Secret Unplanned Stretch Goal Unlocked!!!!

Hello Everyone!

I am going to take a moment to speak openly. I never, ever expected this kickstarter campaign to come this far. We are currently the 2nd highest funded tabletop game and the 8th highest funded kickstarter project of all time.

In fact, even with this secret unplanned goal here, I thought we'd hit it next week wherein I'd have a bit more time to get things prepared.

AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Perhaps I have underestimated the power of the form that transcends the transcended transcended form?!

Anyway. Here is what is happening!

The Satan twins, now destined for hard plastic, are being added to all the Satan's Lantern pledge levels. While cannon to KD, they were an artistic challenge from the original kickstarter. Plus... they wouldn't really fight survivors in that form (for lore reasons). All other backer's have access to them as optional Add-Ons.

An expansion featuring their "final" form will appear during this campaign. If I had it ready now, I would certainly share it. But I don't! Apparently catching up on some much needed rest is a foolish for me right now! There was zero prior plan to include expansion during this kickstarter campaign, even in my most wild of funding expectations (which we have passed by the way)! I need to do some serious math, as I was planning a very LARGE monster. I'll have all the details together before I present it.

Gambler's Chest Roll

I made my roll for today and recorded it. I will be revealing it on Monday, along with Monday's roll. There will not be a roll on Sunday. I wasn't planning on having them on Saturday either (so I could catch up with messages) but I was staring at the dice and I couldn't resist!
