I can't believe that diorama is only $30. The thing is huge! Hopefully people up their pledge enough so that we get to unlock the T-Rex!

**ChargerIIC**

Damn it. I didn't want to spend more money, but my boy would be so happy if he had that t-rex to paint...

**BobtheInquisitor**

T-Rex? That Dino has three fingers and no feathers. He's a Dino in name only, a DINO if you will.

They certainly know how to spring some big surprises out in the last few hours! Was trying to avoid this KS too

This was in one of their preview videos, not really a surprise. Zero gaming use for me, so Imma pass on that.

Allosaurus (or whatever it's trying to be) is a win tho!

I like my traditionally scaly Dinos.

Not a huge fan of everyone now deciding dinosaurs have to look like distressed chickens that escaped the 70s.

**highlord tamburlaine**

My son snorted indignantly when I showed him the supposed dinosaur with no feathers.

that, I like it. Scaly dinos 4EVA.

**NewTruthNeomaxim**

Those room tiles are kind of perfect for my RPG group, and they're cheaper than even buying those DnD Cardstock room tiles... I think I might be back in for those and the terrain.

Back in my day a dinosaur was scaly, cold-blooded and had multiple brains! And we liked it!

Remember to save some of your gaming budget for the upcoming ForgePrints AdventureScape game tiles and accessories! :
"all rooms are "early bird unpainted" (this is backers in the first week) $65 and for a sense of sizing between tiles and accessories the alchemy chamber before stretch goals has 108 pieces in it! "

Spoiler:

Also, this month's free w/ $40 purchase Reaper model through their web store (not KS related) : http://www.reapermini.com/

So far, Core, Dreadmere, Tree, Baba's Hut, and both paint sets. That'll still put a dent in the wallet!

And some chicken!

Then you want carnotaurus. We know he had bumpy scales. Hey, isn't there a Bones carnotaurus coming?

Besides, I was being pedantic for a lame joke. Mordecai there is an excellent Skull Island/Gwanji stop motion-style dino.

Still, feathered dinos Rock in their own way.

**Nostromodamus**

Really tempted to pick up a copy of Pulp Alley now...

**lord_blackfang**

Lost Valley is starting to look kinda like a self-contained skirmish game with a few distinguishable factions (anthro dinos, jade cavemen, bear cavemen, giants, and trained raptors for everyone!)

**ced1106**

More large things, I presume?

Forgeprint's AdventureScapes will be starting nn the 6th, so, if you're looking for game tiles in addition to the Reaper KS ones, save some money for that KS. The EB pledges will be available the first week, and pledges will be $65 for 80-100 pieces.

Spoiler:

Oh, and pirates. Dead ones!

Spoiler:

**Nostromodamus**

P-p-p-pirate ghosts!

**Kid_Kyoto**

Last few hours, well over $2 million now.

**jmurph**

The $30 terrain is awesome. So are the dinos- very Jurassic Park. I wonder what retail will be on that stuff.

**lord_blackfang**

I just now realized I need 30 ghost pirates.

**ced1106**

You people wanted large? How about a barge?

Mammoth mammoth added to Fan Expansion!

If you remembered how large Dagon was...

Foot tall dragon:

**Nostromodamus**

Im guessing sails will appear for the boat, it looks like it has a mast base.

**ced1106**

OMG ZOMBIE DRAGON FITS : 3:38

Beeeg skeleton dragon: 2:25

**Azreal13**

Really pleased to see the Roc is comfortably big enough for my purposes, as it's what I backed for on the first instance.

**Azazelx**

A bit of a head-scratcher that they were using stretch goals for the add-on sets throughout the campaign. I like the look of that barge, but given that it's an unfinished set for the price they were asking, it might not be worthwhile...

**ced1106**

In their previous KS, Reaper "unlocked" additional add-ons after the campaign was over. My guess is that Reaper waited until they received the funds pledged before making further decisions. I understand that 10%+ of funds pledged are not actually collected. So, something like *300K* of monies will not be received by Reaper. Again a guess, but I think once Reaper receives their funds, they will decide whether or not to unlock the rest of the barge.

BTW, I noticed you're in AUS, so, if you're looking for terrain, there's this AUS KS which has free shipping to AUS. Support your local KS! : https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/324657228/dungeon-box-rpg-scenery-by-custom-terrain/

For US backers, ForgePrints will start their AdventureScapes game tiles and accessories. $65 EB for the first week gets you 80-100 pieces. : https://forgeprints.com/blogs/news/adventurescapes

**highlord tamburlaine**

That barge will most certainly get finished in the pledge manager.

I know I put in for a core set only right now, but come time to access paypal funds I'll probably end up with most of the campaign to mess with.

I wish that mammoth was an individual add on, but I'm liking some of the sheer randomness of the expansion- it's a lot like the 1st expansion during the Bones 2 campaign.

Yeah, worth noting the Mythos expansion from Bones 3 sold for $50 in the campaign.... and $50 retail (and thus cheaper online). The barge seems an easy pass for $30, compared to the other offerings. I don't get having paid add on's be unlocked in phases throughout the campaign.

**highlord tamburlaine**

I'd reserve judgement on that barge for when it's all said and done.

That fan pick one is going to be a curious one. I'm going to have to see just how big that mammoth is going to be if they want me to pony up 50 bucks for the whole lot.

I do appreciate all the random aquatic figures Reaper keeps putting out.

**Kid_Kyoto**

And it's over at $3 million.

Strange they didn't run it through the whole weekend since it's a holiday in the US.

Next 7 days

Kickstarter will begin taking your pledge payments now. If your payment bounces, they will notify you and you have only 7 days to make good on your payment. If your pledge fails to process, you will be removed as a backer for this project.
3-4 weeks from now

In 3-4 weeks, Kickstarter will give us the funds they receive from you. At that time, we can synchronize our Pledge Manager with their payment data. Once we do that, the Pledge manager will reflect how much you paid, and you'll be able to add more rewards. Our next Update will be notice that the Pledge Manager is now synced up with your payments, and you may begin locking in your selections.

Even if you have selected your rewards already, those selections are NOT FINAL until we receive the payments from Kickstarter (in 2-3 weeks). We will post another Update to this project (which should also arrive in your e-mail) with instructions once that is ready.

After that ALL BACKERS MUST use the pledge manager at least once to give us their shipping address, and to tell us which rewards they want. At that time, you may also add additional funds for more rewards. The Pledge Manager will close on July 31, 2018, after which time you may no longer request additional rewards. You MUST use the same address to log into the Pledge Manager as the address that is associated with your kickstarter login. Matching these two email addresses is the only way we know your pledge should be credited to your account.

We’re going to repeat that again, because it is super important.

October, 2017

We will be posting progress updates, including art updates where we show the final sculpts of things which are concept art now, and other project related news for the manufacturing phase on the first and third Fridays of every month, beginning with the first Friday of October. Note that this schedule may occasionally change due to holidays, conventions, or for other reasons, but we will do our best to notify you of any changes.
July 31, 2018

We will close the Pledge Manager. After that time, you will still be able to update your address, until we are ready to begin shipping. If you discover a problem with your rewards selection, or find that you forgot to complete your reward selection and spend your original pledge, we will do our best to work with you, although some items may not still be available. This means that part, if not all, of your desired rewards may not be available to request, and/or your pledge may be forfeit.
February 2019

Our current best estimates are that we can begin shipping rewards - a process whose multiple tasks are generally referred to collectively as ‘fulfilment’ - around this time. We will send out many updates detailing this process, reminding backers to have their addresses correct, and explaining our processes and expectations. This includes shipping to our AU and EU fulfilment houses, and shipping N.Amer./S.Amer rewards, as well as warranty replacements should anything be missing or damaged.

Until then, Thank you all, and we’ll be in touch again in a few weeks!

Thanks for all of your support!

~Reaper

Looks like you can pick up bases in the pledge manager. Something like a dime per base in bulk.
