Questions About the Kickstarter, now that it is over

[ladystorm]

Is the pledge calculator also the double for the "Rewards Survey?" So will the add on to our pledge be open until Dec 31, 2013 and how will we do this?

Yes, it will.

It will be open until 12/31.

Specific information is not available at this time while the detail is being finalized.

Bones are great, I pledged for both KS'. But when is Reaper going to resume releasing the new sculpts in metal?

[Reaperbryan]

I prefer you to sleep :P

 

 

 

What´s was the hardest decision on the project? And the biggest surprise? Did the row percentages varied too much respect ks1? Which one is your favourite miniature of the kickstarter? Do you considerer wings for the minotaur demon?

 

Sorry for the chaingun like questions.

1) Choosing the minis is the hardest part. Is a $20 mini unpopular because it's too expensive, or will it be unpopular even at $4? What is the actual demand, adjusted for pricing? And no matter what, somebody out there is going to tell us we chose poorly.

2) The 1" bases were well received. then people screamed about the 2" bases. Then people liked the 3" bases. Floored me.

3) Yes, but we expected that

4) Before I saw DDS I would have said Narthrax.

5) That demon does not, I think, traditionally have wings.

 

Will there be more Runestones released in bones or metal? I could use about 12 of them..

If they do well, we'll look at more variations.

We have already solicited for our next Metal New Release. I do not have the date info before me, though.

I just want to bring up a request/question that was posted by multiple people from the original KS2 thread here:

 

Would it be possible to take the bigger figures that we have sculpts of from KS1 & KS2, put them all next to each other, and then snap a few pictures for us? People are really interested in the scales of the figures in pictures and sure you have Sir Forscale in there with most of them, but comparing the big to big will give a lot of people more information on whether they want to add to their pledges after the fact.

 

Thanks!

1. Please tell Peanut 'thank you' for her artwork on my package the next time you see her.

2. I bet that new pewter release is NUMENERA, yeah I'm not done yet!! :P

3. Thanks Reaper for putting up with your excited fans!

4. Minotaur's tend to not have wings...at all.

5. Here's the thing.....if/when theres a KS3, keep the unlocks as they are....but keep all miniatures as silouettes, then every $500,000 show what's been released so far. Imagine the chaos, o.o.

 

 

The Question: Why wasn't the body included in the cultist sacrificial circle?

This thread is great, thank you so much for taking the time to answer our questions.

Will there be a wave of Bones coming in the next year before KS fulfillment, like there was last time?

Are the P65 frost giants going to see new life as Bones?

Previously Bones have been available with only one sculpt per blister, but with new figures like the Derro, cultists, the skeletons from the Shambling Dead goal and five new zombies, are we going to start seeing blisters with different sculpts in them? The SD skeletons in particular look like they'd be great lumped together into one large blister as a "skeleton warband" or something similar.

Possible, but the time it would take to set up right now makes it unlikely. Girot did a really good model shot on another thread, he can probably dig that up.

 

 

 

 

The Question: Why wasn't the body included in the cultist sacrificial circle?

The best victim for a cultist sacrifice is not a random NPC, but an NPC that means something to your players, one with a history in the game. Alternatively, a PC works even better.

And not to belabor it, but given how much hell we took over one nipple, when she was accompanied by beefcake wearing less than she was, the last thing we needed was to be attacked over "representing women as victims". And don't anybody dare say that that would not have happened, I have to hear that kind of thing regularly. Not for the first time- people often tell us that they don't mind tasteful nudity as long as it's gender fair, and (speaking as Bryanzilla) they proved to us this time that they are damn liars.

1)We hope so - but do not at this time already have a ready mold like we did last time.

2)Not at this time.

3)Yes - for example, we are expecting to release the 5 zombies from Expansion One as 1 blister, although that may change. Likewise we are looking at multipacking the skeletons, etc.

While I obviously don't have the Bones 2 stuff I am happy to do size reference pics with Bones 1 models (assuming I have them of course). Post your requests in the thread linked above and I will do what I can.

1) Awesome! Can you shed any light on what's in the planned release?

2) Sad. I'll just paint up some fire giants blue then.

3) Sounds cool, what about making multipacks with the previously released Bones?

1)A few things whose goals were pushed far enough back to not be shown, I cannot say yet.

3)Has not been discussed.

@Bryan: I wonder if you can provide us with images with better quality of the new miniatures from the Core set (specifically 92618, 92604 and 92617)

[Slendertroll]

If you're planning on doing multi-packs, what's the deal with the product numbers on the KS images? It looks like each mini has its own, including, for example, the zombies in CE1, which you said you planned to blister together. If those are not the retail SKUs, then why bother numbering each one?

1 - so we have numbers to reference them with china.

2- so if a customer has a missing or malformed model in their rewards, they can easily reference the specific reference number. KS 1 had a lot of "I was missing the third model from the left in the 4th image on the 6th update" kind of nonsense.

Ahh, that makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the insight!

 

Next question: How does Narthrax compare, size-wise, to the dragons from KS1? Specifically, if possible, in comparison to the PF Red Dragon and to Deathsleet?

about the same size as Deathsleet, but much more table space, because she's more dynamically posed - more like Red Dragon in that regard, but bigger
