1) You can find out where the Kickstarter thing is sitting at any time just by clicking on the link in the forst post of this thread.
2) It currently says $1630, which apparently means $1730, since someone said earlier that they gave $100 to Dean directly, which isnt on the Kickstarter thing for it. So, if everyone else who donates gives the $20 to get a free set, then we will need 4 more people to donate to meet the goal.

When the goal is met, the time will still continue to run til it ends automatically, though I imagine it could be stopped early. Also, You still will not be charged the $20 you donated until the Fund Raising date ends, NOT when we reach $1800. Got it?

Good to know sir! Thank you.

Do you think there will be a second run?

From what I know that is very unlikely. Thankfully I am not fully in the know so I could be wrong, but I am confident in my thinking at this time.

If it cost $1800 to do a first run, then I can't imagine it costing much less to do a second run, in which case I'd imagine (as someone who is not an insider on this matter) that there will not be a second printing. If people want the official copies of these cards, they really do need to act sooner rather than later.

I'm kinda of the opinion that 500 is very much more than enough for everyone who wants to get high quality over self-printing, but yeah, it might be a gamble to try to wait a month or so. I wonder if anyone has an informed guess as to how many people will buy, or at least how many were expected to be bought before. I'm just curious.

We are NOT anticipating doing a second run. That's why we wanted to make this first run a big one. Seriously guys, it's been 6 months since Masters of the Force came out, and every single one of you would have dropped, at a minimum, $30 for two boosters of that set. Dark Times was only 3 months before that, and you did the same thing, a minimum of $30 for two boosters. 90% of you spent a lot more money than that buying cases (or multiple cases), or picking up 1 booster each week when you went to the LGS, etc. $20 for a set of cards is nothing in comparison to what most of us used to spend every 3-4 months.

Even if you're "overpaying" by giving a $20 donation, again, it's still way less than you would have paid for boosters from WOTC. And then you get the satisfaction of knowing you've helped keep the game alive, maybe helped benefit some other gaming groups with free stuff, etc.

And who knows....perhaps all the people who donate will get some sort of other benefit too. I have no idea (no inside knowledge here), just tossing out possibilities.

It has been a while since I've been on here, but the set looks great so far. What a great cause!

Very true i think i had between 2 and 4 cases of most of the 60 sets, and 2 cases of the 40 sets. I still buy the odd booster even now for extra C/UC minis.

If at all possable though i would like to know how much a set of cards are because even though i have donated my $20 bucks for my cards i might want 2 extra sets of cards for the others in my play group. I am not expecting an answer to this right away but it would be nice to know, if there are only 500 sets these are going to go pritty fast once the cards are done.

Dean has thrown around the $7 price point on several occasions. It may not be exactly right when all is said and done, but I'm not sure how much advance planning you need to scrape up an amount in that ballpark. :lol:

Yep, it's somewhere around $7 to print a set, and then add a few bucks for shipping, so around $10 total is a good bet. I don't think shipping to GB has ever been as high as Asia, so I don't expect a large increase there either. Just send Dean letting him know you want 3 sets, and you can paypal him the extra money he needs for it :)

Hi James,

If you feel that you want to donate to help offset the costs of printing then by all means add to the kickstarter donations. However, the cards will be available free (only for the cost of shipping!) after Dec 1.

I'm glad to hear we've got some players in Panama. Welcome!
