Re: Disappointment in KS6 "Stretch Goals" "system" and "freebies"
Sure, but there's a disconnect between the oft quoted (if not necessarily 100% accurate, I have no idea) '$10,000 per mold' and seeing 'this project will have 150 new molds' and a target of 100k. Like, let's not kid ourselves, some of that math is clearly being fudged to look good on Kicktraq and fo...

Re: What will you get when KS5 hits the webstore?
Honestly, probably nothing. I got what was within my reach, and buying from the web store means less cash to contribute to the next Kickstarter, so it's basically an ongoing cycle of prioritizing the new stuff and stretching those dollars as far as they'll go. The caveat there is that I've now start...

Re: KSVI Backer Locales - The Top Nine Cities
This made me think to go back for the previous campaigns, where the data is set. Some interesting stuff at a glance, for example; Canada was the second highest location for backers of KS1, but doesn't even crack the top 10 of cities (though backers were broadly spread all about, a mere 42 backers we...

Re: KSVI Backer Locales - The Top Nine Cities
I would love to arrange a meetup of Toronto-based Dwarven Forge fans (or those in the area) Impressed to see Toronto in (well, tied for) third, represent! I'd be down for a Toronto DF fan meetup. Maybe hit a pub located off the TTC and/or with reasonable parking nearby to make it accessible, share ...

Re: Covert Warcamp seems great
I'm still surprised that there are only 109 of us at the Starter Cavern pledge (painted or unpainted), while there are 203 Cavern Entrance pledges and 467 BYO pledges. Eh, the Entrance and BYO pledges were there from the start. Some possibly substantial portion of those are people who either got in...

Re: Disappointment in KS6 "Stretch Goals" "system" and "freebies"
This assumes that enough people have enough of a vested interest to join in with that plan. When that system was "everyone pours in a ton of cash and pretty much everyone reaps the rewards with piles of extra pieces", it was easy to snowball into things. With the current system, unless one...

Re: Disappointment in KS6 "Stretch Goals" "system" and "freebies"
I can't speak specifically to the PM that DF uses, but I've seen breakdowns that had PM providers taking a good chunk of cash for their service provided. It's incredibly valuable, and those offering it know that. This may not be the case in DF's setup, I don't know, but I wouldn't assume that they w...

Re: Disappointment in KS6 "Stretch Goals" "system" and "freebies"
Yup, the front page is getting a little unwieldy (as they always do). I think the DF team can still use the "recovering from GenCon"/"all-hands on deck pricing/assembling DreadHallow" excuses today. After that they'll need to be on their A-game regrading keeping the front page a...

Re: Covert Warcamp seems great
Starter, plus Core 1, plus Forge, plus Camp, plus Adventure Pack 6 puts me at $241 including shipping (though it's the same amount in shipping for the BYOC+Warcamp, so that's not a problem, so much as noting that it's actually in the same ballpark as my original plan). I'll have to run a comparison ...

Re: Covert Warcamp seems great
From the start, my plan was to get the Cavern Entrance, the Forge, an Icy Walls pack, and perhaps the camp pack. Having gotten pricing on the icy walls (and while not egregious, it's not a small hit to my budget either), I've been kind of wandering between the original plan (perhaps without the icy ...
