Well, we should probably let the Black Plague KS launch, hit $3M+ and then deliver before moving on from it, right?

**adamsouza**

May want to add this to the OP

The CMON B-SIEGED KICKSTARTER is over, and accepting late pledges, but includes KICKSTARTER EXCLUSIVE ZOMBICIDE BLACK PLAGUE ID CARDS for it's heroes.

Late pledge is $90, and it includes all the freebies. There are 8 B-Sieged Zombicide Black Plague ID Cards.

Considering Add-On Survivors are usually $10 a pop, this is a pretty good deal, if you're into collecting all the survivors, like I am.

**Aeneades**

I will get that added to the OP. I took out a $1 pledge just to be a late backer depending on how the Black Plague KS looks hero wise. I was disappointed that they didn't do a card for the plague doctor though although I can understand Guillotine Games not wanting to give away too many free heroes as then less people would buy character addons.

**Dentry**

What's the deadline for late-backing B-Sieged? That doesn't sound like a bad deal at all, really.

**adamsouza**

Just realised one drawback to the B-Sieged Survivors.

6 figures come in the main box set, the other 2 come in the expansion.

The Basic Pledge of $90 gets you 8 cards and 6 of the figures. The last 2 figures come in the $50 expansion.

You're telling me you don't have a spare dwarf or orc figure laying around to proxy them in? I find that hard to believe.

Now that you mention this, the thought hadn't even occurred to me about those expansion characters not being in the base game.

Hasn't bothered me using other character's dashboards even though I don't have the figures.....

**adamsouza**

To be honest, it doesn't really bother me.

I already have proxy figures in mind for both of them, but I brought it up because one of my gaming buddies was flipping out over it. He's a bit OCD about not using proxies and was aggirvated he 'had' to spend the additional $50 for 2 figures.

This being the interenet, I figured I'd mention it before some other OCD individual dame to the same conclusion and accused me of deceiving them, or posting about the conspiracy, etc...

**carlos13th**

Disappointed I didn't kickstart other zombicide seasons so might be tempted to back this one

**Hulksmash**

Looking forward to this starting today!

Tops.

I think the goal here is to capture a slightly different segment of the market.

There are enough Zombicide fans to make the KS a guaranteed success, probably at least one million in pledges. So the risk here is pretty minimal.

The payoff would be in drawing more players/customers into Zombicide; people who don't yet have a single Zombicide product.

There's additional value to extant Zombicide owners if the gameplay is fresh, although I think that remains to be seen. It looks like there will be a 'necromancer' instead of an abomination, which could be interesting. And then the spells.

It also adds new tile sets, which can always be used in combination with existing tiles. It would be great if there were some crossover rules, even if they were home brew.

I haven't backed a single ZCide KS campaign, despite having purchased Seasons 1 and 2 at regular retail. I may back this one though. I can't deny that the fantasy theme sparks additional interest in me.

Nice post, and I'm one of those people - I don't have Z-cide but would consider this themed one! I backed B-sieged for $1 to get access to the pledge manager, and much prefer the look of its art over some of the "campy" Z-cide stuff. If this game sticks to things that look more like the B-Sieged characters, I will be much more interested

**Alpharius**

Yeah, no kidding!

It will have enough Early Birds so that when they're gone, it is funded.

"Funding" will be what?

$50K?

$100K?

Launches at 3PM EST, right?

Start your engines!!!

**Nostromodamus**

Yep, 3pm EST.

**highlord tamburlaine**

Lunch time for us west coasters then!

Which means I'm free to hunch over my computer trying to get an EB, at which point I won't and will begin cursing like a sailor.

**flukezor**

That will make it 5am for me, lucky for me I'm at work on nightshift so I can log on right away

**crazyfoxdemon**

Its up.. and less than 2min in already 21k funded. This won't take long.

For those that want a link.

First time I've had the 'pledge processing' thing at the top after confirming payment details.

Interesting.. I thought it was just me.

**highlord tamburlaine**

200 people had already pledge by the time mine was done processing.

I also think this is the highest starting goal I've seen from CMON. A lot more realistic. Then again, given how many EBs they've got and how much this will generate by the time it finishes, not that surprising.

Looking forward to it!

Looks like our exclusive for pledging is a Highlander this time around. Interesting. Going to be curious to see what sorts of heroes we end up with.

**Necros**

Zomg! I got an early bird!

<-- Feels important

Automatically Appended Next Post:
Hmm.. just noticed the your pledge is being processed thing... what's that all about? Is KS charging when you pledge now instead of at the end?

I don't understand the 10+ people who got the 150 tier instead of the early bird.

There's lots of people in KS comments talking about it as well. Think it gained 200 backers between me hitting the page and finally having my pledge processed. I guess it's KS rate limiting the connections to it's back end to stop things blowing up at the start / end of a big campaign.

**Alpharius**

It is going to 'fund' at $125K in about 15 minutes...

Wow!

**Hulksmash**

I hope it reserves my spot. Mine still says processing right now....

**prankster**

And it's funded.

**Nostromodamus**

Got the processing thing too. Looks like KS is limiting the flow to it's servers to keep them from exploding under the pressure of several thousand simultaneous pledges.

**endtransmission**

bing. That took 10 minutes longer than I was expecting! Getting some very weird behavior from Kickstarter. The total keeps reverting back to $88,105...

**dazblackhawk**

And its hit its $125,000 target!

**endtransmission**

Now to see what it reaches before the first update is posted
