Does that change the current "outside USA" postage rate for Europe?

It doesn't as they still need to pay the VAT element on our behalf (which will be much higher then £10). It just means we won't be liable for the 20% VAT.

Okay, and no custom fees.

BTW what happens when you lose the Succubus encounter?

Sorry if I missed it, is there any word on the material used on the minis?

Again, we are a bit too early in development yet. I can tell you what we want, though. We want figures that are not going to be easily bent or broken, we want them to be easy to paint and, for miniature game folks, be easy to convert - cutting off weapons, arms, heads, etc and swapping them with weapons, arms, heads, etc from other figures. This is what we are looking for in our discussions with manufacturing in China.

Flying Frog Productions wrote:Highlights from Q&A in the Comments Section

We spent several hours in the Comments section today, talking with folks and answering questions. Here are a few snippets of that session for those who missed it:

A few people have asked about African American or Asian miniatures. We absolutely want to include everyone in the game, but please remember that you're seeing the figures pretty close up in the pictures. The actual miniatures are small enough that specific racial indicators would be difficult to see. We know that many people will be painting their figures and encourage them to paint them with varying skin tones indicative of racial diversity. This allows all Hero Classes to be open to all races. Which is important to us.

A number of people have asked about "making sure that the Stretch Goals and Optional Add-Ons will be sold in retail stores after the KS campaign ends". That is the plan, HOWEVER, it is important to understand that many of these items may not be available in retail stores for a long time. Even if we had finalized packaging, UPC codes, EIN13 Codes, external case packaging and product information for all of these items to allow for retail sale, we cannot bombard retails stores with everything at once. It would be too much for them and their customers to handle. So, realistically, outside of the KS, the Stretch Goals and Optional Add-Ons will be given the retail treatment, packaging/coding/casing/etc. a bit at a time and see retail release as a product line over a long period of time.

A few people asked about the extra set of Core Box figures in RED that come with Deluxe Outlaw and Mine Cart Pledge Levels and why they would be useful. For Heroes, it is very cool to have more than one of any given Hero. In playtesting, we commonly play games with multiple of the same Hero Class. This really is a part of the genre - how many westerns have you seen where there is only one single Gunslinger or Bandido or Lawman? Very rarely. It's always a posse of Lawmen with a Gunslinger and the town Doc! This is also the reason we dreamed of doing variant figures for at least the core Hero Classes - so that you can play with a group of all Bandidos, etc without everyone having the same miniature. As for enemies, we crammed the box full of cool creature minis but there are still times when the game calls for more enemy figures of a certain type than you have. In this instance, figures become 'elite' and you fight fewer, but tougher enemies. We were very excited about the idea of giving players a second set of the core game minis so that they have more of each of the Creatures and Heroes to play with and having them in a different color offers new possibilities for marking certain models (for example, swap to a red version of the figure when it has been wounded or to mark it as elite). Also, players could use the different color figures to be creative and make house rules.

That's it for now, but as I said at the start of the week, this is a BIG week for the Kickstarter. Watch the page this week for a brand new OtherWorld!

Thanks, Scott

A wind-swept desert of sulfur and Dark Stone dust, the wastes are home to brutal scavengers, marooned on this alien prison planet and mutated by the very air they breathe. A remote world around a distant star, the massive Dark Stone deposits on the surface lure travelers in, only to lash their ships in atmospheric storms and a massive, fluctuating gravity well to pull them down to the surface.

We'll take a closer look at this new OtherWorld in tomorrow's update!
