Move? Do you mean the date and time (which will be officially revealed tomorrow the KS is ready to go) the first project started on a Friday at 8PM so they see it as fitting to do the same again this time.

Ah, makes sense. I've just heard a couple different start times (the 20th was tossed around a bit on other forums). Wanted to get in early, making sure I grab an early bird (if such a thing exists!)
Yes there will be early birds there was a discussion about not having them I for one don't think they need them this time around but Colin and Wayne think they should have them again.

Teaser Trailer - start date confirm 22nd August at 8PM.
I have access to the KS page but I'm sworn to secrecy there are some nice surprises in there but I will give a few general details.
The base pledge is the Dungeon set, nothing smaller than that this time. You can get x2, x4 and x8 versions. There is no Hulk version this time (you'll see why on Friday)
There are Early Birds for the Dungeon and x2 levels.

Got my sci-fi kickstarter package yesterday - very awesome I must say! I feel like a bit of a noob putting it together (especially the door sections... and my first chair was pathetic ), but I'm starting to get the hang of it. I just wish I had bought more at the time, so I'll have to order some expansions when they go on sale!
You'll notice this time they are using 2'x2' rubber mats for the floor rather than card - mixed reactions amoung the test group but I like it. You get 1 with a dungeon pledge and can buy more

Now to see if there's any possible way to use one as a DKQ playmat instead of buggering about with card tiles... I guess I could buy one to cut up, but that would be a shame.

Missed the early birds at work, will just get the dungeon pledge. No rush though, tried to fill it out and the form would not complete so I'll do it later. Looks awesome. Going to be tight though. Will have to just do base dungeon pledge, only thing I'll add are the (noun =/= star)-Gates if we don't get a couple of them free.
Maybe on the pledge manager though!

Yeah, kind of figuring that. Maybe I can find a plastic tube of the appropriate size and stick it inside the barrels and glue them into the circular shape, just glue a printed top (either lid or contents) to hide it. If it's even worth the effort, they may not be that bad in the long run.

Likewise - I just got some Rendrea barrels as well. Not sure why they're wasting the space with the sub-par barrels when they could just add more chests or something instead.
Missed all the EBs, so I'll look back at the end. I'll likely only be able to afford a minimal pledge, and they do it properly when the Backerkit is released.
Around about Stretch Goal 5 we will have our first new Add-on made available for purchase. This will be a new item. When we make a new item available it means we have reached a funding level that allows us to spend the money to make the die-cutting tool that is needed for the new add-on. These tools are expensive and need replacing after they have made many stamps (the blades of the cutting tool stamps the card so that you can just pop out the parts). Also with the new Add-on comes the new artwork and this has printing set up costs. You can expect to see an Add-on followed by a few more Free Stretch Goals then another Add-on and so on.
We have some great new items set for add-ons and we are still designing as we run the KS, feeding off your comments for inspiration. Can't wait to show you what we have so far )
If your wondering why the stretch goals seem rather large for not much extra they actually factor in part of the cost of the new tools into them as well so that things progress along rather than having to take a giant jump to fund a new tool when it gets to that point.

Wait long enough and you'll find a Hirst Arts casting or other related KS appear soon enough. Itar's Workshop, Mythical Lairs, Bones, and Dwarven Forge all had dungeon furniture of some kind. You can also buy barrels from FRPGames and other OLGS stores.
For the internationals, this KS looks pretty darn good. Shipping is much less than Dwarven Forge and Mythical Lairs (Hirst Arts). I already have a ton of furniture and some Dwarvenite, so I'm not sure if I want to spend $140 on additional dungeon terrain.
