Re: Ruins - why they should have their own KS

A Ruins-based Kickstarter is a fantastic idea. "Ancient ruins" is the default dungeon setting of some kind, so there is a great potential here to have a base set that really just works like a normal "dungeon" set. It could be expanded into: Cavern transitions (natural ruins/ eart...

Re: Royal Stronghold Tower Breakout

The Royal Stronghold has enough pieces to construct four complete 4-floor Watchtowers, but two of those towers would need to use 3/4 Floors on one level, and use double doors for entry. This also assumes each level above the first uses three floor extensions instead of four so that you can run a spi...

Re: SGs as an addon pack?

I would definitely buy a stretch goal addon pack.

Re: KS4 Peer Pledge Review

I am currently trying to decide between two major pledges: I pledged 2750, and could add up to 250 more (maybe). I have an Empire KS3 set, with one set of straight and corner battlements from KS3, as well as two sets of KS3 wall foundations. Option #1 -- Royal Stronghold Pledge Total: $ 2693 The shi...

Re: Pledge Manager Clarity Needs

Absolutely. If there is any chance something might not be offered after the Kickstarter, please let us know so we can purchase it now. I would not like to bump out luxury items like the Runic Theme/ Necromance Theme packs or the motorized drawbridge, but if they aren't going to make it to retail it ...

Re: Tower Transition w/ Cutout Corner Wall?

The Cutout Corner Wall Pack needs to include a spacer and two inside walls. I'd rather have an entire extra corner than be left with corner wall pieces I cannot use. 1x Corner Cutout Wall - Right 1x Corner Cutout Wall - Left 1x Solid Insert Wall 1x 3/4 Insert Wall 1x Door Insert Wall 1x Corner Space...

Re: Pledge Manager Clarity Needs

Can you show us some more photographs of the first and second levels of both 4" and 6" towers connected to corners (without the third and fourth levels in place), similar to the photos you made for straight walls? It's not clear to me whether you use a full tower floor on the second level,...

Re: Royal Stronghold vs DIY Expert Pledge Showdown

As a Canadian backer looking to pick up a painted set the difference is absolutely staggering: $2080 (Royal Stronghold) vs $2672 (Expert build). I really hope the stretch goals show up either on their own as an add-on in the Pledge Manager, or in some sort of theme pack. I might ultimately get one o...

Re: Analysis of Royal Stronghold vs Expert Pledge alternative

I re-did some of my rough number crunching. I agree with geekjeff that for USA buyers, it's just about a wash. GC plus all add-ons may give you more of the flexibility you want, as well as all the stretch goals, for a similar build to the RS at a minimally higher cost. However, for Canadian buyers,...

Re: Royal Stronghold buildout details

Excellent, that's exactly what I was hoping. So the RS already has all the pieces you need to fill out the cutout corners, correct? I was thinking of either getting two Grand Citadel breakout packs, or one Grand Citadel and One Count's Castle breakout pack to go with the Stronghold. That would seem ...
