Dear Demosthenes,

I only mentioned that the detail were scattered because that is what I was told.

As I said, I am only a casual player who would like some new figs. I am not going to read the message boards for hints, clues, spoilers. I just wanted to know what I would be getting for my $20. I found it odd that the Kickstart site had no info.

It sounds like a very cool project. When the Kickstart site is updated with info I will swing by and check it out.



From your post can I assume that whenever a new set came out, you waited until you could find a complete list online, or reports from others as to what was in the set? If that's so, you'd be best to wait until the release date of December 1st when all will be revealed. Until then, getting 'hints, clues, and spoilers' will be what you'll hear. I can tell you that there are more people working on this set than WOTC ever assigned to work on theirs. The 3 designers are people who know the game and play at the highest level, and also have experience designing custom pieces. The people in charge of playtesting are some of the best players in the world, and are still exploring ways to break the designs if possible, so no 'GOWK' situations will happen once the set is released. I haven't seen the cards personally, but the actual physical design of the cards has been done by people who work professionally in that area. Steps to assure quality have been taken throughout the whole process because the future of our game is on the line, and a poorly designed and implemented set would be a death knell to the game. All of this information I just gave you is available to you to check by reading the message boards.

batmite: I can understand an appreciate your decision, and that's fine. Donating $20 at this point of the project is solely to support the V-Sets and make sure the printing costs are covered in time for the December 1st release. Make no mistake about it, there will be plenty of sets available for purchase once the set is officially released, and you'll know all of the pieces by then, but the advantage of getting in on it now is that you become part of the group who made sure the set even got printed in the first place. If we fail to get our 90 sponsors (which I believe is unlikely, but for argument's sake we'll explore the possibility), then all those people who were waiting around for all the stats to be released won't get any cards at all. It's just a show of faith and a show of interest in keeping the V-Sets and the community alive, that's all. :)

This is for everyone's sake, but I quoted JC here just because he was the most recent....

When you pledge at Kickstarter, you will NOT be charged ANY money at all until December 1st guys. If the Goal is not met, or the organizer cancels it or something before that date, then nobody spends any money at all. With prior Kickstarter things, I've usually seen my money get charged to my card about 1-3 days after the close date of the project.

So saying "I'll wait till I get paid next month" makes no difference at all. You just have to make sure you have money in your account/space on your CC come December 1st.

Thanks guys.


I'm not 100% certain on this, but I do believe that they will be available for download as well. I think the plan is to require people to have officially printed cards for large tournaments like GenCon/Regionals, just to make sure that people aren't cheating and altering their cards though. I'm sure there will be ways to work around all of that kind of stuff. I'm not even certain the details have been 100% finalized yet.

I've donated $20 (about all a jobless PhD. student can give lol). But remember guys, I don't need to pay for my set at all, I'm simply donated to make sure we get to the total, and to make sure other people that can't afford it get a set.

Do not really follow the link, There seem to be 2 places to pledge $20 or more both with different amounts of pledges. At time of this post 1 says 54 of 90 the other says 81 of 90 (not counting the ones that say no reward)

Which link is correct? Why is there two links to begin with?

Really because both say $20 or more or $20+

none say $20 or less.

Also i have read that there needs to be 90 backers for the project to go ahead. so far it says 54 of 90 backers on one and 81 of 90 backers on the other.
well that is a total of 135 backers so far.

Look i am more than happey to join in because i do want a set of cards, i am just a little confuzed by how it's put on the page.

I'm guessing that what it means is there are 54 spots left for someone to donate out of 90.
I'm not sure about the two 20 dollar options.

.



I read it the other way round that 54 had donated, not 54 still needed, so that might also need to be made clear. I know Dean said it was he's first time in setting one of these up so I am not expecting it to be perfect. I would like Dean to clarify it though.

Don't trust those numbers. The bit about the reward counts is messed up. Dean mentioned it somewhere that it was due to him making some error during setup. Don't worry about selecting them properly. You donate $20, you get a set. If you're curious about the actual number of donors, you can see the list of the names yourself on the supporters page and count them.

Hum....my mistake, however that is not an uncommon practice with the donation feature to have one on a plus side one on a down side of the number

And since we are on the plus side of 1000 that means we have at least 50 backers (if everyone only pledged 20 straight, obviously that may or may not be the case) and we need around 40 more. How cool is that.

Just to let everyone know where we currently are with the Kickstarter:

49 Backers (out of needed 90)

$1025.00 out of $1800.00

65 days to go (yes in only 5 days)

so we are more than 50% there. Great job guys good to see this is happening so fast. My original guess was this would take 14 days and I see we are on pace to beat that.
