Forar - yeah, I'm willing to gamble on that!

**Bromsy**

Yeah, I'm sticking with outlaw - I figger all of the add-ons will be condensed into small box expansions. And as far as this being an unnecessary kickstarter - if they are able to pump all of this stuff out at once it will mean they can keep up with the release schedule for new stuff for their other games - which is all for the good. We can always use more Fortune and Glory stuff.

Update #12
More Info on OtherWorlds and Use of Terrain Packs!

Hey Guys-

Some of you have asked about the Other Worlds, and let's face it, exploring an Old West Mineshaft is pretty cool, but when your group of adventurers can find a portal to another world and step through to continue their dungeon-crawl in another dimension or another planet, that's insanely cool! Designer Jason Hill reveals more info: In the course of a game, Heroes will stumble into 0-3 OtherWorlds (a lot of this depends on luck of the draw of how the Exploration Markers and/or Encounters work out). Though, it also depends on how many OtherWorld Tile Sets you have. It is probably about 70% likelihood that you will come across at least one portal to an OtherWorld during a mission. One of the cool aspects of the portals is that OtherWorlds can link directly to more OtherWorlds (or back to the Mines).

Many of you have asked if there be counters in the game box for the figures in the Terrain Packs (Terrain Pack #1: Doorways and Terrain Pack #2: Mine Terrain can be found in the Optional Add-Ons Menu). Designer Jason Hill sheds some light on this: Yes, there will be tokens in the Core Sets for Objective markers and for Otherworld Gates. The Terrain packs can be used to have plastic pieces for these instead of just a token. There won’t be tokens for the doors as the open doorways are marked by having the open ended puzzle piece on a map tile, but the plastic doors really do look cool on the table!

Speaking of the Doorways, we have a picture of the stunning new Mine Doorway figure:

More to come soon!

Thanks,

Scott

Can't link the image from my phone but a doctor hero addon has just gone up.

**highlord tamburlaine**

Doctors with hand grenades, that is.

I still want to see more monsters. I think we've got a pretty nice selection of heroes available.

Ideally we'd see at least an XL monster for each of the otherworlds. Maybe even an XXL one.

More mission packs with lairs are cool. I know they've mentioned in the comments about wanting to bring in more Native American mythology, and there would be a Spanish Mission showing up at some point.

I think it was also confirmed there'd be gambling allowed in town too.

I kind of wonder what it would be like to have an otherworld town to visit.

So a couple more interesting tidbits.

-Hirelings will be available as you play. Not sure how that will work, as FFP guys said we'd have to wait a bit to see.

-More XL and XXL monster *WILL* be coming!

-More location specific monsters will be joining as well!

That makes me happy!

I don't think all of those add-ons make the $475 Mine Cart a smart deal yet...

**Squat Kid**

I heard about this one two days ago, and today I cut my mars attacks pledge in half and backed it up. Too many things I love not to (Cthulhu, Cowboys and Warhammer Quest)

I jumped on one temporarily because it looks like they are going to sell out, and if they keep releasing things it might be worthwhile. Can always dump it and go back down to outlaw and buy the extras I want if it isn't worth it.

That's pretty much what I'm doing.

And odds are, dropping down to "Outlaw" level and picking and choosing from the add-ons list will make more sense at the end.

**Forar**

I wouldn't be too worried about the mine cart filling up.

Every time it gets there or gets close, another 50 slots are added. It's been doing that for days now.

It's very literally artificial scarcity designed to inspire just such a reaction.

The fact they don't just make it unlimited is odd. Perhaps they can't once it's created, but I don't see why they can't just increase the cap to, say, 10,000.

Oh, yeah, artificial scarcity, etc. Never mind, carry on.

**Aeneades**

Reached $666,666 exactly and the a $8k backer pulled out...

(Although it possibly looks like it was a fake account used to troll the comments section)

**Alpharius**

A troll account with an $8K pledge?

Wow!

**Squat Kid**

I was wondering why it was climbing so fast...

**Aeneades**

They had a backer at the $8k pledge level but rather then release it all in one go, they did it a little at a time over an hour so it looked like a lot of people were leaving (This is according to people in the comments section so take it with a grain of salt).

**highlord tamburlaine**

God bless the Internets. Each and every one of them!

**Forar**

I was there, one second the campaign was at 666,666, the next it was down around 659k and change. They may not have dropped the entire 8k at once, but it was definitely a big drop (6-7k+) in one shot, then another drop that might have been around 1k'ish, likely the remainder.

The single 8k character pledge disappeared and those in the comments (myself included) instantly knew what was up.

It may have been a troll account, or even a backer who simply wanted to help bump the campaign up on its way to a stretch goal, but either way, they left quickly and nobody was surprised.

It'll be interesting to hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth tomorrow when the Kicktraq numbers look bad compared to previous days, despite at least one of those days being artificially inflated.

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

Damn, how did I miss this, Warhammer Quest like in a weird west setting. Going to be blinkin hard to resist.

**Phobos**

Well I done caved. In for an outlaw.

The pet dog did it.

**Kroothawk**

This looks nicer than I thought.
Pledged at Outlaw level plus several Add-Ons (mostly characters), not tempted by Mine Cart, not interested in the fuss about it.

**Forar**

A buddy and I are in for an Outlaw as well so far. A lower MC might draw us in, but over half a grand remains a bit beyond what we're willing to commit.

For now.

We'll see how the MC develops in the next two and a half weeks before we make the final call.

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

Yeah Outlaw is what I'm considering, along with some of the Character packs. With the extra add ons unlocked so far, it would seem a mad move to miss this if it only partially interests you.

For me I am 70-30 in favour, just need to decide if I can squeeze some extra cash out with a heavy release month that includes the Xbone.

**Squat Kid**

700k stretch goal unlocked

**Alpharius**

And in case anyone was wondering what that was, it was "Void Hounds" - 3 of them now added in to Outlaw pledges...

**Kroothawk**

Next stretch goals are:
$ 725k: Free variant Saloon Girl (Outlaw pledge upward)
$ 750k: Murky Confrontations(Jargono Encounter pack, 15 cards)
$ 775k: 12x Scourge Rat
$ 800k: New Hero Class Drifter (miniature looking like Clint Eastwood)

Here the big graph with all stretch goal pics:

Spoiler:

**Alpharius**

All included at Outlaw level...

**Kroothawk**

... and upward

**Azazelx**

Outlaw plus a couple of extras is looking more and more tempting...

**Aeneades**

The team at FFP suffered a very sad loss this week and are grieving which is why there have been no updates or addons for a while so don't be concerned by the lack of attention this has been getting recently, I am sure that they will catch up when they are able.
