The Silver city expansion is interesting, I've heard the Lion God is nearly impossible to kill though, from people that have played it.

With the new stuff and the extra 5 years it should be not as bad

And the update proper
$8.8M - THE HIGHEST FUNDED GAME ON KICKSTARTER! LETS HAVE A CAT PARTY! INTRODUCING OUR FIRST EXPANSION EXPANSION! AND THE UPSIDE DOWN MOUNTAIN DUNGEON PINUP!
#1 MOST FUNDED GAME ON KICKSTARTER!!!
So these two are not quite ready for prime time, but its just so thematically appropriate I can't help myself!
Today I am picking the roll, instead of rolling. We are going with the Gold #15, which is another 2 for 1!
Introducing THE WHITE LION GUYS! (Don't worry, I'll fully flesh em out after the campaign, they are simply not final right now!)
Two vids of the lion armour narative sculpts in progress
We just started sculpting her yesterday, making upside down miniatures is AWESOME!
Vid of sculpt in progress
Opps! I forgot to add this! Good thing kickstarter gives me 30 minutes to get changes into updates!

I've always just asked him via the KS 'send me a question function' and usually got a response within 24 hours (well most recently within 5 mins)
although it may depend on whether its a question with a straightforward answer, and whether he sees it before it gets buried under a flood of new questions

First hint at possible delays to the summer 2017 wave 1
Kingdom Death 4-time creator 1 minute ago
@Edward, we have 10,000 units in print. Due to the size of this campaign, I am not sure if that will be enough, which will lead to delays.
10,000 copies of the 1.5 game must have seemed like loads at the start now it may not be enough! (already over 11,000 base games needed to fulfill wave 1)
Also there are discussions about bumping the Gambler Chest to $150 as an add on several combinations discussed but there's a chance your 1st will remain at $100 but only if it's not already part of your pledge and any extras will be $150. Await an official announcement though.

Wait, what? I pledged for a lantern upgrade and added $100 during the campaign. Is that not enough anymore? I dont think he can change the price of an expansion in the middle of the campaign...

Well, he can. But it's not set in stone yet. His comments all say 'IF we implement the change...' and he said he'd rather not change it because it's complicated.

Bob-- Comparing it to other expansions, the GC looks like it has around 1.5x the number of single survivors as $120-ish of content, and is missing either 2 small monsters or one large, on the assumption that it intended to be the super-bundle and making less money than anything else is accurate, and that the price is not mostly plastic but also development time, etc.
I'd say there's a non-0 chance that there's the king, but expect to see 1-2 smaller monsters- nemeses or quarries without a ton of gear- and that it just has comparatively a lot of singles.
The biggest reason it could include the king is that a lot of development and casting has already been invested in to it, so that might offset the difference between that and a new, smaller piece.

I'm mostly worried about the King being added to the project too late for me to include him in my initial pledge and then some sort of pledge manager shenanigans--like not allowing new add ons--making it impossible or prohibitively expensive to get the things I want through the KM.
The GB is a great value for anyone who wants most or all of its content. I am not that one.

The whole KS has made the Lion God into a better expansion.
The issue is that it is a tough fight that shows up very late in the campaign.
The 1.5 rules will add in 5-10 years to the campaign, so you'll have a bit more time to get tough enough to fight it. Plus, some upgraded gear for post Watcher fighting (or Screaming God stuff).
In addition, the First Hero expansion will let you start out later on, so you can begin with a settlement that's capable of fighting a Lion God right off the bat.
The Silver City looks like it is going to make the Lion God into a final boss. That's the appropriate place for the game's toughest monster.

That makes a lot of sense. The Lion God was the only expansion I did not get in the previous kickstarter, but I heard people were only able to kill it at year 19, and even then it was very difficult. Prolonging the fight a a few years would help in that matter for sure.

What makes you think you wouldn't get back more than you paid? If you have a KDM1 pledge, eBay wants to give you some money.

Because I bought everything retail, so spent over £1000 (including the pinups for the cards I wanted). The gamblers pledge is that good a deal now though that I might as well stick with it. I don't want any of the promos but everything else is awesome.

I did get the core game new on ebay for £350 compared to the £450/500 it would have been to import, so that saved a bit, all the expansions were bought in the spearhead sale though. Was that full retail or a slight discount? It worked out about $800 for all of them anyway.

Going through all the updates, and is it just me or do all of the new artist's neutral posed expansion-themed armor drawings look really samey now?
Like, name the armor kit where the woman has the frilly shoulders, the rounded-pointy helmet, the over-detailed cuirass-avec-tetons, the radially-etched groin plates, poofy leggings and Michael's floral vase section boots.

Not as bad as it could have been.

Yeah... I was really wowed by the style to begin with, but it does have a same-y baroque feel.
The frogdog mongolian look is probably my favorite and one of the more different ones, but they do have a similar, heavy look. Then again, one could argue that they're all for one super-campaign so it's cohesive.

You need the Nameless Horse expansion.
It takes place in a labyrinth with the life underground and the perfect disguise above. Under the settlements lies a heart made of ground, but the survivors can give you no love.

I've been saying that about the armor designs for some time.
At least once they're posed minis with weapons they should have a bit more personality to them.
After yesterday's lion armor reveals, it really gets me thinking that he's tooling these narrative sculpts to replace the kits in the original game at some future point. It would certainly help bring the price down.
In regards to the new campaign, I'd say it's anyone's guess as to what items are absolutely must haves for this inverted mountain campaign.

I jumped in at the Good Lantern level (core set plus gambler's chest). Are the advanced rules from the GC useful without any of the other expansions? I'm trying to figure out what gameplay the GC adds, but I'm not sure what the heck all the narrative figures are used for.

Update
Expectation Management - Gambler's Chest Roll 24, Core Game Improved Club Reveal, Crossover Goth Amy, Pinup Death Armor!
We are now the #1 most funded game on kickstarter! I am thrilled! I am humbled!
I am… overwhelmed with responsibility!
It’s down right sobering!
That’s a lot of exclamation points!
Now to get serious.
Gambler’s Chest Change Add-On - $150 Due to overstuffing and my desire to continue said overstuffing and the absolute need to be fiscally responsible: The Add-On amount for extra Gambler’s Chest is now +$150, with two exceptions. If you have a Black Friday Lantern pledge or a Black Friday Lantern Upgrade Pledge, you may add 1 Gambler’s Chest to your rewards for $100. Thank you in advance for understanding.
Basically, if you have one in your pledge level its all fine and dandy. But if you WANT / NEED more then the 1 you already have... The add-on price is now $150.
1.5 Core Game Add-On - $300 (25% off retail) Adding multiple core games to a single pledge, will not save you on shipping. Each game is factory sealed into its own carton and it is too heavy to pack with another core game. As it would risk damaging both. Each must be shipped separately and we must pass this fee unto each backer. I am really sorry, but shipping is shipping.
Group Pledges
Our official stance is that we do not support group pledges. Each pledge will be treated as an individual user. We did our best to accommodate group pledges last campaign and we will not be doing so this time. I am confident that 99% of group pledgers are all awesome people, that I’d love to personally sit down and game with. Due to the size of the campaign, I have to make a firm stance and that is: it is something we do not support.
Selling Pledges
We do not support this.
Combining Accounts
We do not support this nor will we combine pledges for individuals that have multiple kickstarter accounts or have bought pledges from other individuals, to make one uber katamari pledge level.
Pledge ManagerUntil the campaign is over, the dust has settled and myself and the team have been giving the opportunity to finalize math, manufacturing deals and the post pledge manager, I will not be divulging any details about what you can and cannot do. I very much understand and respect everyone’s personal budget and I love that you want to contribute more after the campaign ends. I will always work towards accommodating as much as I can. My focus is currently on the live kickstarter campaign, not the post campaign pledge manager. Thank you very much in advance for understanding.
Shipping Delays
Due to the size of our campaign and the staggering amount of content presented. There is a very real possibility we will see delays to the estimated shipping dates. Right now, it’s looking like everything will be pushed back 1-3 months. I won’t know until the campaign has ended and pledges are confirmed, so I know how many more core games we need to produce! (Don’t worry the ball is already rolling on this, but I do need to manage expectations.)
Ok! Finally, onto the content!
Just a quick reminder, the current CROSSOVER Projects are NOT INCLUDED in any pledge levels! Due to the IP being owned by another company, I cannot bundle them without extremely special permission! Thank you!
