ObsidianCrane Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 My LGS has some Malifaux stuff. However my LGS is 204km or 2.5 hours away, its not like I'm a regular customer and I've spent more there in the last 6 months since I started spending money on KS projects than in the 1.5 years before that. Down in the state capital I wasn't aware of any store that carried Malifaux of the 3 I frequented. So their assumptions are pretty flawed from where I sit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recruittons Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Yeah, I will say it comes off as a bit... superior? I don't know, I'd hate to put words in his mouth, but it doesn't sound very good. Like he's trying to use a high ethical position to guilt people into accepting that they won't be offering rewards that satisfy the backers' desires. I dunno. I'm definitely in a wait and see kind of mood on this. Stretch goals will reveal the truth of this, I believe. ETA: I mean, I sort of see where he's coming from, but I also feel it's rather heavy-handed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nocturne Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 he should put a $ 50 level with only thanks in return if he dont want to give merchandise in exchange of money I was surprised there wasn't the usual "thanks level", just straight in at $60. Especially as only backers can comment, that $1 can be a good way for people to look in on the kickstarter a bit more before putting a full pledge in.

ObsidianCrane Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 You can pledge any amount, you just don't get anything from this KS until you hit the $60 amount, and even then apparently thanks is too much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nocturne Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Ah, I forgot about the default No Reward level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApesAmongUs Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I really have to wonder how many people at the $60 level are in just in case it gets good later on, but plan on dropping out otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CashWiley Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Ah, the LGS thing again. Mine doesn't carry Wyrd. I understand the thought behind this support of LGS, but it has to be tempered with understanding that most of the country is not served by an LGS, and even those that do probably don't stock your products (unless you're GW or WotC).

MonkeySloth Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 They've added stretch goals (right now everyone who pledges $125 gets an extra fate deck) but the big one is at $250k everyone at that level gets one of their hanging trees which I think were $80 minis at Gencon.

recruittons Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Yup. The stretch goals definitely changed the game. Glad I kept my pledge. I'll probably have to bump one to the $125 level before this is over. We'll see. Definitely keeping my eye on this even more closely, though.

Nocturne Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Oh ok, NOW I'm pledging. I'll probably want to see some more minis to definately stick around but it's worth at least getting in now to maybe get Miss terious as well as the multiparts and Hannah. Quick check on eBay makes it about $130 for Miss Terious and the hanging tree so it's worthwhile for mini collectors at the Dining Room level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeySloth Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I was thinking about why the goals were so far apart and its because of the tree. So many people wanted that added to this that I have to give props to Wyrd for adding as a free reward even though doing so caused a lot less smaller goals to be included.

recruittons Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Yeah. The Dining Room Gamer level now has a potential 6 minis (counting Miss Terious, the added multi-pose, the hanging tree, and the already included 3), the books, and - as was just confirmed by Wyrd - the exclusive fate deck. Beating the current 250k goal outline seems likely, so here's hoping there's more treasure up the hill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SamuraiJack Posted November 30, 2012 Members Share Posted November 30, 2012 I bet the dude on Ebay who has his tree listed at $200 just crapped himself 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeySloth Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I'm not a big fan of people who buy things with the sole purpose of selling it on Ebay for more, especially within this hobby as I see them as not much better then recasters.
