Delayed Greek Style Metal Gaming Coins for RPGs & Boardgames

[hmdrake]

Ending soon, with a ton of sets unlocked. I'll leave it alone after this. :-P

Kickstarter has decided all pledge levels above $100 violate their terms of service and are being removed tomorrow morning. See the latest update.

Whoa, what?

[SamuraiJack]

I think it violated their no more than 10 of any item rule.. even though there are a whole crap ton of different sets..

[hmdrake]

Yeah, but if you leave your pledge the same and shift your reward level down you should be good. Same thing happened with Dwarven Forge.

[Finarfin]

so... I´m in, but I could resist and only pledge 5$. I´m happy. But with the new oathsworn and the next reaper I have to protect my sanity and pocket from my compulsive desires.

I have no actual use for these coins as coins. Nope. I am instead planning to use these as awesome bases for minis! :D

 

They just updated with the option of a "Time Traveler's" set, which contains one of each denomination from each set. 65 coins, at the cost of 2 sets instead of 1, but with a greater percentage of the bigger coins (the ones I'm mostly interested in) and fewer tiny coins (which I wouldn't have much use for anyways).

 

Huzzah!

Well, I upped my pledge on the manager... I´ll take photos!

[SamuraiJack]

I did too.. I upgraded to three sets now that i had money again.. I got Viking, Middle ages and a set of the old style X dabloons..

[Finarfin]

I was going with a simple coin, but I upped for a set of new doblons, one piece of each myth 1, muth 2 and dragons if I can recall

[SamuraiJack]

So there have been delays on this.. they are expecting a September/October delivery time frame.. and they announce TODAY that they are changing the finish on the gold and silver coins from shiny to matte becauxe its what they wanted for retail and they want the sets to match..  needless to say they've aggravated myself and a lot of other backers.. this is the planned change with the space coins as an example of the proposed new finish.. needless to say they pretty much ruin the coins for historical reenactment purposes..

Could you elaborate with the "reenactment purposes"? why they need to be shiny for that? legit question

 

in my case, I prefer the new look, but I understand that people could be annoyed with this changes on the middle of this

[SamuraiJack]

I do medieval recreation in the SCA. They don't have to be shiny but they should look like real metal. The new color style looks fake.

[OneBoot]

I actually prefer the matte look, but yeah, looking at the differences in color, the silver one doesn't look terribly different, but the gold one...that's going to be a pretty drastic change. I just wanted the coins as basing material, so it doesn't matter as much to me, but I can see why this would be upsetting and a problem for a lot of backers.

 

Huzzah!

Hi Folks,

We just learned that the container with the coins is due at Game Salute, our fulfillment partner, on Monday December 22. It was put on the ship in China having cleared customs on November 18.

So...it looks like we will just miss the holidays. But the coins are really close to landing in the U.S. and get ready for fulfillment.

Now, our Asian backers should have already received their coins as they were sent from China. If you are an Asian backer and haven't received your stuff yet please let us know.

Thanks, we're a-l-m-o-s-t there!

I dn't think they are accounting for the port strike with this estimated date..
