When a KS turns up I sit there in a pile of stuff and think "next time I'll document what I pledged for or at least file the email in a sensible place so I can actually check of what I have vs what I wanted".

Repeat ad infinitum.

I never learn.

Well bob which plastics did you order? I think the ones that were preexisting when the kickstarter was running should certainly have come, but if you pledged for Niads, Salamanders, the Abyssal stuff, anything newly created during the kickstarter... I believe that's all still in development and we're all still waiting for that. But your dungeon saga stuff, if only add-ons, should be arriving from the UK via their royal mail, they've just recently started sending stuff out. Nothing from DS is considered late till December 7th, supposedly.

A text list is enough, then its seven minutes.

I also do wish lists, purchase plans etc on the same document folder. It contains everything from my old AT-43 purchase plan to things that get on my buy list for my 40K armies to boardgames to kickstarters etc. Its not even qa chore because its window shopping in a way, I have to plan ahead what I can afford and there are too many goodies to choose from.

The format wasn't the issue.

addendum, as all three expansions already purchased I will get a special presentation box.


Done

The above took less than four minutes to do (the explanation is taking longer) and would recreate a file on a document wallet the files are often not small due to having to download images in .doc or .txt documents.
It told me everything I needed to know I have something similar on my hard disk, though you dont see the links you just see the pics. I might add notes etc as I did after Ronnies video about the book boxes.
I learned from this that the extra purchase made to go OVER $200 wasnt worth it, the hardback book is crap and thin and empty of its content with will not be e-delivered. Also from this thread I learned the resin counters are not enough, a main set of DS includes 24 bones piles tokens, so I could only replace half of the maximum usable amount with miniatures, which is no fething use frankly. Yet I might not be able to buy two sets because it was KS exclusive.

I'm assuming he meant it took forever to dig through the tiny unmarked bags checking each for missing parts and not so much typing anything out. Maybe?

My DS plus expansions has just turned up. Exciting!

I am waiting impatiently for news from my folks. This is the biggest kickstarter spend I've ever put in for and I'm so excited about it!

I would love to hear a run through of what the Black Fortress tiles are like and a page count for the companion book.

The Companion book is 96 pages. Mine had a sheet in the front with page corrections written in where the proof reading missed adding them in (and seriously, does publishing software not have auto updating links to contents?).

I ordered all new plastics. I have all the old ones except for the goblins.

I'll send out an email at the end of the month asking what's up. It might take them another month to reply to me if history has taught me anything.

Reposting from my kickstarter comment for anyone correcting the page number errors in their companion book.

Just been through the adventurers companion adding in the page references.

In addition to the ones listed on the sheet there are also the following errors:

+P13: movement is on page 18, not 12 as listed

+P23: damage is on page 24, not 22 as listed

+P27: there is an [Insert Picture] text in one of the paragraphs

+P42: Slyph information paragraph is actually the Salamander information paragraph.

+P77: an "entertaining" joke about people maybe noticing two step 1's.

Not particularly funny given that as well as the big list of page replacements included in the hardback book I managed to spot the above just quickly skimming through

What's the current email address at Mantic to actually get anything done? I still don't have a single thing to show for my KoW pledge either.

It's a long process, but I've stirred the pot enough with my comments on the KS page and have gotten a reply there. Squeaky wheels getting greased and all. The email I got yesterday from Steve was from notification@kickstarter.com if that helps.

That's the KS message email address probably better to go straight to the source dave@manticgames.com is the email address on the missing item DS forms.

What sheet are you guys talking about?

Missing item form for contacting them is in that update. That is the way to fill out whats missing.

Thanks, email sent. Curious to see how much longer this is going to take.

Mines arrived only had a quick look at it before work. All appears to be present and correct. The base game and expansions look good but a few of the minis will need hot water treatment and rebasing as they are standing with one foot off the base. I have no intention of painting DS but I at least want the miniatures to look right.

The acrylic counters are awful, a waste of money which I only added to bring me over $200 but the hardback rulebook wasn't worth the extra cost there are a lot of mistakes in it as can be seen by the errata sheet they put in it. The slip case for the 3 expansions looks cheap and poorly printed but the book box itself is fine. I think there was a lot of corners cut on the extras as they won't make it to retail anyway.

The dragon is perfectly fine for me as a board game piece. Some of the boss minis are much smaller than I expected.

Gotta say it's disappointing hearing about corners being cut, especially considering the delay on this game and the push to get it all sorted out for retail.

I was also afraid the acrylics would end up blah. Sad to hear. I guess I'll have to see just how bad mine look whenever they show up.

Still looking forward to it.

The archdemon Valindor fights isnt paerticularly big, his silhouette on the KS made him seem bigger. But we did see relative scale and preview images so this is no surprise.

I dont mind a small version Balrog equivalent. Tolkiens Balrogs were about ten foot tall and would appear to us to be enlarged chaos warriors, yet they took care of business. In fact the first (albeit crap) video Balrog was about the size. No one minds the enlarged Balrog from the Fellowship of the Ring, and the large scale Bloodthirster or Pit Fiend/Balor imagery, its seems to fit better for an uber monster.

Mantic however are mre moderately proportioned with their archdemon, I dont mind. They are powerful spirits effectively demigods in same cases, so they can be powerful out of porportion to their size, just as vampires and high level heroes are.

The only thing I don't like about the Mantic archdemon are the stubby wings. It has a fallen angel theme going which I like, but the wings look like tree trunks, and only make sense if the wings were truly massive. When I get mine I might rewing. Got to get it first.

As far as Baels size goes, he isnt all that small. Hed still be about twice as tall as a human standing up, but since hes crouching... his face is about at head height.

I just found out that my Carton B arrived in my parents house today! But no sign of Carton A yet, which seems weird. I hope nothing happened to it!

Did you order more than 1 set? You get Carton A if you didn't get all 3 expansions or Carton B if you did but not both, I got Carton B which has the Game, Valandor and the 3 expansions in a KS exclusive box. There was separate brown box on top with my extra paid for bits that are not part of carton B.

Carton A is a single package that includes:

Dungeon Master pledge. Pure and simple.

Carton B is a single package that includes:

Dungeon Master Pledge
The Warlord of Galahir Expansion
Infernal Crypts Expansion
The Tyrant of Halpi Expansion
Upgraded Adventurer’s Companion Collector’s Edition Hardback Rulebook
Free Kickstarter Exclusive ‘Book Box’

A number of people bought everything for a carton B yet added a second Dungeon Master pledge because its a very good deal for the price on contents.

I suspect the second core boxset plus stretchgoals will in many cases be for RPG fuel and stripped down for D&D in short order.

I considered it myself then decided to double purpose the set I have already pledged for. I might regret that, as deals for minis go the DS Dungeon Master core pledge is up with Bones 1 for value for money on miniatures delivered.

DaveC: Thanks, that was reading comprehension fail on my part - I ordered DM plus all expansions, so carton B is right.

Awesome! Can't wait to fly home and root through it.

What's in carton A again? I forget.

Carton A is the full Dungeon Master pledge.

So... I got a good portion of my pledge but for some reason my Dungeon Saga main game isn't on my in voice or in my package, anyone else encounter this problem?.
