Upgrade Packs

I priced it out and I made a decision. The Vast Upgrade Packs are getting an upgrade. They will now include the new die and all of the cards will be replaced. And yes the upgrade + miniatures option will be upgraded too.

Stretch Goals

We have surged past a few of the stretch goals. We are now moving towards the Nightmare Unicorn. Kyle Ferrin has completed the first illustration of the Nightmare Unicorn and is working with Chad on the sculpting.

In addition I have added new Stretch goals to the chart. If you are interested in contributing a card as a guest designer get into contact with me.  

Thanks everyone, that is all for now!

Mutli-Order Update
over 7 years ago – Fri, Dec 16, 2016 at 02:03:58 PM

I have done a lot of thinking about multi-orders. Here is how I would like to proceed:

If you want to multi-order add up how much it is going to cost based on the following per item:

Game - 60

Miniatures - 25

Upgrades - 10

Addons - 12 each or 30 for the bundle of 3.

If you are at 230 dollars or less go ahead and pledge with the highest pledge level that covers what you are ordering. We will figure out what you are ordering during the survey. So for instance if you are ordering 2 games and 2 sets of miniatures, pledge at the 85 dollar level and your shipping is covered.

If you ended up higher than $231, then pledge as before for the highest level your order covers, paying the shipping as normal. In addition to pledging for the total of your items, add on the following extra shipping charge: 

Thanks and I will see you at 300,000!

300,000 and languages!
over 7 years ago – Fri, Dec 16, 2016 at 02:02:07 PM

First of all, we hit $300,000, so woo six more promo cards are unlocked. Those are free to all backers. Nice! Thanks again everyone.

I have added Dragon Gems as a $450,000 goal to be added to the miniatures set.

Language Translation

I have been asked many, many times about localization or translation to other languages. BEARING IN MIND NONE OF THIS IS BINDING.

If enough people show interest in translating to a particular language, I will look at the cost of translating. Remember too I will have to purchase new assets at the factory to print in a new language.

If the cost works out in my favor, I will add copies to the third print run for that language (which I will have to order almost immediately after receiving this run). When that happens I will announce it to the people that surveyed that language and to the project in an update. When it comes time to fill out the Kickstarter survey, I will ask what language you want the game in. Keep in mind this will push back your delivery date. I have no clue how long this will take, as this is the first time I have translated something. 

To show your interest in a particular language, please fill out this survey. I would try to spread this link around, but please don't try to game the survey with fake information. I need to know who is going to back the KS based on language.

I will keep tallying the languages and posting the results to the comments of the project and to a FAQ item.

Translators

If you want to translate, awesome. Please stop messaging on me here. When I go to look for a translator, it will be difficult to find your message. Please contact me at [email protected] and I will add you to the file.

Thanks

Patrick!

Passed the Last Campaign
over 7 years ago – Fri, Dec 09, 2016 at 11:48:32 AM

We passed the previous campaign before noon this morning. That means it took us less than 96 hours to better the previous campaign. I did some math and 96 hours is 4 days! I am still in shock about all of this and I am racing to answer your questions.  

New Funding Level

You can now fund the game at 5 dollars for the stretch goals that apply to all levels. The promo cards aren’t exclusive, I just had to set the price higher in case there are more promos down the road. If you don’t like the price I will put them on my website later and I will bring them to conventions.

Stretch Goals

Here are the new stretch goals:

Paypal Refunds

If you are waiting for a Paypal refund, I am sorry. I was going to work on them this weekend. I called them yesterday and had my account locked and money moved out to work on. By the time I logged in today (Saturday) the money had been moved back and I couldn’t do any refunds without dinging my personal checking. I will try again Monday thank you very much for your patience.  

Localization

I have been asked a few times about this particularly for French, German, and Spanish and I even have a solid distribution offer from a German firm. All I can say is I will discuss it with the factory. If we did do a foreign language version we would need someway to let people opt in and it would for sure be late since production would run into the Chinese New Year at this point. Thanks for your consideration, I am trying to plan a strategy around this.

The first 38 hours.
over 7 years ago – Fri, Dec 09, 2016 at 11:47:50 AM

This has been an amazing 38 hours! Thank you all for your support and I hope I can bring you many more exciting things. I am exhausted keeping up with you all, your great feedback, and your great ideas. I love this work.

Clarity

I have added to the top of the campaign a description of what each item is and how the addons work. I am going to continue to work to increase clarity in the campaign. Thank you for your patience, the campaign grow faster than I expected. My graphic designer Topher is going to work on the reward levels in order to present them graphically.

Addons

If you do want to pledge for the addons, add the money to your pledge and we will reconcile with surveys after the campaign is over. I will warn you before the end so you can make adjustments as needed.

Stretch Goals

So far we have unlocked the Ghost and the Ghoul addons as well as adding the Entrance miniature to the pack. Coming up next is miniature treasure chests. I will announce more stretch goals soon.

Cards for Upgrades

I am working on pricing out adding the changed cards to the Upgrades. It will take a few days as it is Thanksgiving in the US and my supplier is pretty busy with the current printing.

Alright I need to get to bed. This Thursday is a holiday in the US so I will be on sporadically. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
