I'm not sure I even want the game anymore. I pledged because my girlfriend at the time was interested in cooperative two player games we could try.
To give you an idea how long this has been, we've since broken up and I'm engaged to a different woman now!
11 months in total so far. I think it speaks more to how much of a fast mover you are to be engaged to another woman already..

If any DCers want to play some MYTH or demo the game, I would be down with meeting up. I pretty much did the 'one of everything' so now it just comes down to try to get my gamer groups interested in it!

From the comments if anyone is curious how shipping is being done.
---------------------
We are going by state, with a caveat of proximity. We do one close state and one far state.
We have done Indiana, Maryland, Illinois, Missouri (or part of), Ohio. Next is Mass

After washing my hands I have had a chance to sit down with it I am quiet pleased. The minis are vey nice, though a little cleaning is still required on some from where they were taken off the sprue, which is no big deal. I paid extra for the foam insert and am very glad I did as It certainly makes it a bit more manageable and will help keep the minis safe once they are painted. The box set comes with the hero plates for the Spriggan, Skald, and Trickster, just not the mini or cards.
From talking to the guys they are getting about 60-70 emails an hour while also trying to pack and ship, so if you try to get in touch with them be patient. A UPS semi was leaving full of your boxes when I got to their building, and I decided to let it go...this time.

I got my game, read the rules, played a demo game.
The product is amazing quality. The figures are great, the cards are great, the boards are great, the card sleeves are awesome.
The rulebook is 'nice' but there is a lot of confusion on 'I know how the mechanics work, how do I actually play an actual game'. The Quest system (which drives the gameplay) or the free-formed play is ambiguous.
These are two resources which TOTALLY HELPED make everything make sense:
Thread with a very good explanation of how to actually 'start' a game:
http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1138953/unofficial-faq
Megacon posted some really useful PDFs on the website:
http://megacongames.com/games/myth/
Especially:
http://megacongames.com/download/myth-setup/
I highly recommend reading these first... then reading the rulebook.
As for the game... So far, very fun. Once you get over the hump of starting, and someone know what to do, other players can pop in and only really need to know how their own deck works. I think if one person is experienced, you can get casuals in the game pretty easy.
Also, the progression system is interesting. Basically, every game your characters basically reset... EXCEPT:
*If you do a 3-act Story quest, you get a title. Every title you have allows you to keep one loot between games.
*Most ACTs allow you to modify your deck, so you can add more powerful attacks to your deck.
*Most quests allow you to modify the loot pool. This means the chance of pulling greens and blues over white increases.
Overall, the loot is stronger, the players are stronger, and they can carry loot which means they are stronger overall. Seems pretty good way for playing with a group. Also, it is no big deal if someone misses a session, You can just keep playing and he won't feel like he is behind everyone else.
I am excited to play more. Very happy so far.

I have to admit; I'm a little miffed. I live in Cincinnati, less than 90 miles from where these are shipping out of, and not only have I not gotten mine yet, but I haven't even gotten any shipping information and they won't respond to any of my emails.
Irritated.

Yeah, they just are going by state it seems, so for someone to be first, someone has to be last :( I suspect they are getting a lot of emails, but have said 'after everything is shipped, we will deal with issues'.

With shipping MYTH and with MERCS currently being KS'ed, I guess they probably can't handle much else?
Don't get me wrong 0 I always think a quick email response is not only possible, but pretty much something that should be 'standard' customer service...

That is a reasonable expectation... Even if the response is a ticketing system confirming they have your issue. CRMs I feel are basic requirement for all e-commerce now a days.

So...
I think they're done with my home state - Massachusetts.
I haven't received any info on shipping or tracking though.
So I went to the Pledge Manager site to check, and found out that the website is down.
Anyone know what's going on?

No, but I know they've been done with Ohio for a week now, and I've got no tracking, no game, and no responses to any of my messages just asking to confirm that mine had even shipped.
A little frustrating.
