@Corey, Falstius: Each additional Bag O' Bases will be $10

 

Now we just need bigger bases with a similar price point.

[Corporea]

Kudos to Reaper! Those guys are brilliant, I tell you. Brilliant! Way to keep the Kickstarter momentum, Reaper!

 

(I need to take a level of accountant...)

@Last Knight - You can always trim the broccoli a little bit on the medium sized guys so that it fits inside the base or raise them up on some kind of basing stuff like cork board that represents rocks. That's what I've been doing with my KS1 minis without a problem.

A lot of 'em will still be pretty crowded, though, if they fit at all - bugbears and gnolls for example.

 

 

Yeah those guys would/will be pretty crowded for sure. At my table I might take the liberty to make them large sized as most of these guys are usually over 7 feet tall in their descriptions even though they are labeled as medium, then I'd place on a bigger 2inch diameter or 2x2 base, but that's just me and what I'd do as the only mini painter and part-time GM of my pathfinder group.

 

You could try a 2x1 base. Just sayin: http://www.dungeoncrawler.com/kickstarter_2013/index.html

 

 

I like that idea of 2x1, but they fit more the "long" types of large creatures like Horses, Lions, Tigers, Crocodiles, etc. For something that is Large tall, I'd personally prefer to still use a 2x2 base.

How easy are these sets to trade?

 

All depends if people are interested in it - and - reaper allows us a trade thread (which I hope they do)

 

OFFICIAL ANSWER ON TRADE THREADS: Not allowed.

 

We know that last time someone unknowingly allowed creation of a trade thread which we then had to honor. It has been discussed and will not be allowed this time around. We are aware this will disappoint some people however, we are going to be consistent to our forum rules (found in the bottom right corner of every page here).

 

There are plenty of other place on the internet that support trading, we are not opening the forum back up for this.

[ub3r_n3rd]

No trading.. That's too bad, it would've been nice to do it again on the forum.

 

Anyone know of or use a respectable medium to do trades for when we finish with this KS we can get together there and do our trading?

[OneBoot]

Forgot to mention that Reaper plans to make the bases at their facility in Texas. Which is awesome. :D

 

Huzzah!

I heard a lot of people last time recommend Bartertown. No experience with it, personally.

Never heard of it prior to your post here. Anyone here have experience there? If so, was it good or bad?

 

I just liked being able to do it here because everyone here seems to be very respectful and respectable, so it made it easy to trust that we'd all be able to trade w/o any hiccups.

@Reaper, have you get any info from the pledge manager that you would like to share? More selected addon, that kind of stuff

@Finarfin - So far, even the 'least popular' Option is within our expectations, but overall there's a pattern emerging.

@Reaper: Oooh! A pattern!? Care to share?
Assuming the answer to that is 'no', is it a good pattern?

@Dan - We're seeing that despite the objections to "too many dragons", all of the dragons are in the top 25% for how many users selected them...

[Darsc Zacal]

...193...194...195

 

I like bases and I like round bases and I always need more. So these bases being reversable and at a good price is a good way for Reaper to get more of my money. (I wasn't feeling the fishy themed minis)

 

...196...197...198...199...

[Last Knight]

To be fair, dragons kinda are the biggest bloc of add ons right now. It's not particularly surprising that many people have selected them.

 

(I've selected all the dragons.)

[ub3r_n3rd]

I picked up all the dragons last time so this time around unless something is absolutely amazing (to me), I will be keeping with things that I know I will paint and use at my table.

[Baugi]

I need to say, I LOVE the direction they went with the bases. They can be used on the flat side to look like PF/WOTC simple black rounds, or flipped and used for flocking and extra detail. They're also some of the only bases I have EVER SEEN, that are round, and lipped, AND FIT INSIDE A 1' GRID. I've been using Warmahordes bases for ages, but my DM hates that they don't quite fit the grid table we use to play. Considering the only similar product is from Secret Weapon, and like 1$ each, I'm really thrilled about this design.

 

Edit: Now I just need my Happy Seppuku stamps!!

Sweet. I need more bases. I'm actually starting to try and make new bases for some minis. These will help immensely and allow me to be certain I'm keeping it to the sizes needed. Now I just need a few larger ones for my dragons and their minions.
