Dan Goodchild Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) So, this week Michelle and I made a very last-minute decision to take a short road-trip to Origins. We decided on Tuesday afternoon to go for Wednesday/Thursday to check out the convention for the first time. We caught up with the Reaper crew, played some new games and were really glad we went. The Origins program book held a couple of… interesting tidbits. The first and most obvious was this full-page ad by Reaper: But the second is arguably more interesting. Julie Guthrie was one of the convention's guests of honour and her description in the program book included this interesting photo (enhancement by me): Now, it might just be the angle, or my memory failing me, but that looks like a new, giant dragon by my favourite dragon sculptor. Thoughts? Feeling? Wild speculation? Go. Edited June 17, 2017 by Dan Goodchild Spelling 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that pesky thing called Bones 3 fulfillment, it didn't get launched in error. It will be up by end of the week once we are back in office from Origins. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some logistics delaying some models to retail didn't occur to me like needing to design, prototype, review, revise and ultimately print packaging for minis that won't fit into any of the existing standard blisters. Things like Goremaw was the example I asked about. This knowledge has allowed me to reset my patience. Bones 4 likely needs to have it's timelines adjusted to account for Bones 3 and Baseboss and Convention Season. I'm taking a we'll know, when they know and can tell us. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checked that URL again today and it still comes up with an error for me. Same for everyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erk Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I'm actually okay with bones 4 waiting a bit. I will be completely done after dwarven forge 5, and I've only barely started painting my bones 3. I want to be excited, not dreading. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe that Bryan was re-prioritized with getting the RCon tickets/badges up and for sale. So it may not be this week. (all of this is conjecture not based upon any inside knowledge. Please don't burn my internet house down if I am incorrect) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laoke Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 I'd be surprised if Bones IV launches before the EU & AUS regional hubs at the very least start shipping. You'd tend to get a lot of ROW backers crying "Foul!" at that stage. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need time for people's current hoards to sink in before you can sell them another pile. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kinda wondering about Reaper's schedule, they've got a lot going on with Reapercon, Base Boss, going to other conventions and so on. A delay would probably disappoint a lot of people, but they'd have a saner schedule and maybe be better prepared. (Not that I want a delay.) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
