Where was that update from?

EDIT:

Never mind - found it!

It was from Nikki, in the comments section of the JOURNEYMAN KS!

I'm less worried about speed than I am trustworthiness I suppose. The sad part is I am not far from MGC it is just that I thought the KS was ending later than it did.

What have you found to be 'untrustworthy' here?

I think he means trusting someone he doesn't know to take his money and hand over the stuff once it arrives in late 2016 or so.

Re: piggy backing a current pledger

Ah, gotcha!

Makes sense, that.

As for MYTH, I'm still wondering when the oft mentioned closing of the PM will actually happen so we can find out the shipping costs!

Update!

We know it is still open. It is because the owner and our direct contact is on his honeymoon. Congratulations!
We have almost all of the shipping quotes for the 2.0 upgrade stuff (and base game from Hero level) based off of weight and size. The 2.0 stuff should be arriving at the warehouses soon. The base games are already there, ready to go. We are about two weeks away from charging shipping for the first Journeyman shipment.

I’ll have a detailed update on what is shipping and what options are available for backers as we close in on the shipping date.

Nikki is still moving through emails. She is closing on the finish line, but isn’t there quite yet.
Sculpts

The sculpts continue to move forward at a rapid pace. Some really good stuff here. Keith LOVES the Mendicant...I mean MendiCAN.


With final posing.

Symbio Commander. This model is freakin' sweet. Soooo creepy.

Modules

Content from the design side is in a very good position as well. Modules are pushing hard with now and are moving forward.

work in progress


work in progress

Here are several logos. The modules are complete stories. They use the minis they are associated with and offer a lot of cool, exclusive content.






Outsider Card Art

All the Outsider art is done. We'll share more later, but here is nice selection...and it occurs to me that this might be the first time we have shown the alt gender Outsider.

OK?

Answering the question at the end on page 8 (as this one didn't show up for me until now for some reason?)

It was answered the following post.

Pledge Manager closes TODAY

lock it in fast if you have not already done so!!!! Early shipment options and payment for optional early shipment to come next week.

2.0 Material Shipping

Hey all. The pledge manager is closing Friday, November 6. You orders will be locked in. We will begin to pester those that have not submitted their order or logged in at this time.

2.0 Materials

The 2.0 materials are very close to shipping (by shipping I mean shipping to backers). To that end, next week, the pledge manager will be re-opened so backers can pay for the shipping of the 2.0 Myth materials. This is not an opportunity to alter orders. There are a couple important things to note:

1. Check your address.

2. If don't want your 2.0 stuff early, if you want all your stuff in one shipment, don't pay for shipping. If you want your 2.0 stuff shipped early, pay for shipping. We advise you pay for shipping and receive the stuff early, as this is the only opportunity to process and receive this material early.

3. The 2.0 Myth materials contain: 1 Myth 2.0 rule book, 31 novice Hero cards for all 5 Heroes (Acolyte, Apprentice, Archer, Brigand, Soldier; 155 total cards), 31 updated base game quest cards, 7 updated monster cards (Grubber, Muckers, Crawlers, Stalkers, Terror, Yardu), 2 Avatar of Winter agent cards, 12 trap cards, 5 ally cards (Marcus, Sarah, Archeron, 2 Fathers), 30 updated white item cards, 29 updated green item cards, 23 updated blue item cards, 15 updated brown item cards.

4. If you backed at the Hero pledge, the base game of Myth will be included in this shipment. The undead will be shipped with the second wave.

Translations

If you haven't added the translated materials, there are 48 hours to add them. German, French, and Spanish are available.

I don't think there's a definite answer, but how much will shipping in two waves cost vs. waiting for one (to the USA)?

I am quite indifferent to their Myth atm so paying to get the the 2.0 materials is unimportant.

Actually they should be shipping them, its their fault their game is unplayable its their game out in the wild that is broken and nobody (exaggeration) plays it and it is to their benefit to change this.

Over BoW their new kickstarter announcement (yes, they are making a new one based on the banner saga) has 6 comments 1 is positive 5 are negative.

Link to announcement of a new Kickstarter, please?

Looks interesting - thanks!

This early shipping option through the pledge manager turned out to be a bit of a disaster,......

The shorthand version of the resolution is:
Everyone will get the base game 2.0 upgrades shipped to them for FREE! (and the box game if you are at Hero level)

so check out the update,... hopefully your pledge was not messed up; I just had to go in a finalize again (no shipping was added).

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/megacongames/myth-journeyman/posts/1413838

The other bit of good news is that they are ahead of schedule on Journeyman base sets (the plan is for those to be available for optional early shipping).

Either way you choose to go,.... they will have shipping charges "part deaux" later on that will hopefully work right this time.

New pics are up too:

yamato - what's your opinion of all the 2.0 materials?

Did it 'fix' the issues with the game that previously existed?

I'm not Yamato, but the 2.0 stuff is WAY more easy to digest and comprehend. I eventually "got" the 1.0 stuff, but by the time I figured it all out in a meaningful manner, the 2.0 stuff was announced.

With the shipping imminent, I plan on actually teaching everyone how to play finally.

Yes, lovely, if only they hadn't manage to mess up the pledge manager unlock the locked selected confirmed and payed pledges and insert more shipping costs.

I am hoping they fix it I have emailed them in the email they provided to fix this mess no contact back yet, I am expecting many are affected by this.

1.0 'works' but was hard to understand. Once you understand more how to play, the 1.0 materials 'work'. 2.0 rulebook and 1.0 materials have been working quite well. We have been playing it just fine.

Most of the changes are errata or balance changes. The only major changes for 2.0 are the explanations in the rulebook, the Quest cards which was the total re-do, and the new trap cards.

The game is totally playable with the PDFs on the website which have been around since fury of the fireborn and rise of the revnant.

The Journeyman stuff looks nice....not that I will ever know.

*runs away crying*

Anyone want my pledge? Just in for the revised rules at the moment, though my PM is still open...

The 2.0 stuff is quite an improvement. Of course most will reference the rule book and how it is structured better,... includes things that were left out of the first one completely, etc;.....

But the real win is the new standardization of keywords on both hero cards and items. Keywords are now explained well, make sense, are clearly identified and bolded on all cards, etc.

This reworking of keywords has really removed much of the confusion during play,... but like any complex game, you will still find yourself having to read carefully, and really paying attention to some of the more interesting combinations and interactions. Once you start to learn how things work, the game speeds up quite a bit.

As mentioned; there were some balance changes done,.... clarifications on how to apply some bonuses and some stacking issues were resolved. In addition to that the new quest format is really nice and enables a much more elegant solution to developing waves or counters in the missions. They have also taken the opportunity to fix some of the quest distribution within the packs of quests. so, not only do complete quest chains now inhabit the quest sets, but they also added several new quests to the base game (they removed the "Story" quest cards from the game and added an equal number of basic quests. All around, a very nice addition.

The Traps have been reworked,... and I have only really messed with a couple of those, but they seem easier to employ than before and have as with the quests, they have the ability to be used on any tile.

Example of new keyword usage:



The original card only had the "Shield" keyword.

now you have many other options to selectively boost this based on the keywords,.... it's also a rage card now, and can boost other cards, etc.

These are proper interactive cards now,.... they were just poorly executed originally.

The update has also enabled them to build additional flexibility into the game as well,.... one example is how ranged weaponry is dealt with. Here, all "Arrow" cards in the Archer deck were replaced with "Ammo" cards, and the keywords on all other associated cards were changed as well. This gives them the ability to utilize all kinds of ranged weaponry with one ammo source.



some subtle changes were done to the "green flame" upgraded novice cards,.... where some were previously just additional copies of basic cards, they now have slightly different starts,... perhaps the AP cost was reduced,... or the damage raised a level,.... etc.

lots of smart stuff going on in the changes IMO

Thanks yamato - much appreciated!

Did they say when 2.0 stuff is supposed to actually ship?

It should be shipping right now. the US bound supplies got to the fulfillment center last week; and with the decision to send this stuff out free of charge; I'd say shipping is either imminent or already underway.

Indeed, here is the answer,.... about to ship:

Backers have 24 hours to go into the pledge manager, and check or change their existing addresses. If your address is correct, you don't need to do anything else. If you've never entered your address or signed into the PM, you need to do so IMMEDIATELY.

After the 24 hour period, the PM will lock all orders and provide us with the addresses on file. The PM will be locked at noon EST on November 18. The 2.0 materials and base games of Myth (for the Hero level) will be sent out this week to whatever address is on file.

Once again, backers DO NOT need to pay for this shipping. MegaCon Games is paying for it. If you choose not to receive this shipment, the 2.0 material will be added to a later shipping wave that you are paying full shipping for.

How do we choose if we do not want them shipped right now?

You would need to contact Nikki ASAP,... As they are shipping all the 2.0 base upgrades for free,... I'd guess they are all going out unless you contact them (I guess if you won't be home or have a tax reasoning).

Otherwise,... You'll have an option later for early delivery of the two Journeyman Base Boxes,....

If you do nothing, you will get the 2.0 upgrade shipment now,.... Then would have to pay your standard shipping later for either one or two shipments (that has not been asked of anyone yet)
