Less than $5000 to next stretch goal!  

 

I've got to give Reaper credit, these Friday Facebook Share to unlock figures are really doing what they're supposed to!

[Dilvish the Deliverer]

Posted my prediction in the KS comments.  Figure I'll repeat it here.

 

Ron said the next expansion will be dark fantasy featuring something from Ad on.  I say Dreadmere.  Possibly getting the Dreadmere Townsfolk and Mercenaries in Bones.

[Zink]

I would go for those.

Really? I don't see any blip in pledges. Been pretty steady. Might take a day or so to have any effect, I'll admit. But I don't think it has done a lot based on the 24 hour numbers, pledge/backer wise.

I think the Tree of woe, and the Tophet will be included as well. Since those are both dark fantasy.

I did, it's not as huge as the blip we got from Reaper sending the announcement to all the previous KS's, but prior to the bases, and the Dice Tower mention, and the FB share, we were on track to unlock on Saturday or Sunday. From what I've seen we almost double or tripled our pledges.

 

We had hours in the bare hundreds and a negative hour before Reaper sent out the FB thing, since then most hours have been in the $1,000's. Now I'll grant you that it doesn't feel like much of a blip, because the day before and since the beginning we have been tracking at least that. However, we are cooling down in the slow steady burn. That's why I love the graphs Bryan posted, showing always a slow steady increase. And even though it may seem slow, those days still add up over time. Additionally, it brings eyes, and people who star the project for more people who back at the end. So it's all good. 

[spoonz202]

what was the 'dice tower mention' ?

[Thes Hunter]

The link is buried somewhere in the fifteen thousand KS comments, and I don't get the Dice Tower Weekly KS round up. But Dice tower does that, and a blurb about the Bones KS was in there. 

 

Met Tom Vassel at Dice Tower con this year. Seems like a nice guy. The con was fun. It sucks that they limit the number of tickets sold, but at the same time, I think that's part of the reason why we had a good time at a full, but not over crowded con. 

 

I will mention, that Dice Tower is far more board game centered. Though I ended up playing Pathfinder almost the entire weekend, because I play board games when I don't have an opportunity to play RPG's.

Actually, I could swear that I recently saw a stock photo of a new bones cavalry unit that wasn't Sir Lorenth and wasn't from a kickstarter. Anybody have a link to that? I can't find it so now I feel kinda crazy.

 

Well someone did post a photo of Sir Danel, who was supposed to hit retail after Bones 2, but because of his backwards hands he never did.  I checked the store recently and there is only one Bones cavalry unit.  

 

Bones 3 had Kyra and Lavaranth and a dwarf wizard on a pony.  Both are awesome, but not exactly what I normally mean by "cavalry".  There's also a female dwarf fighter riding a bear from Bones 2, but that falls into the same category of "awesome, but not what I meant".

Right, but there's no blip just a steady burn. The day before and today look constant, as were the days before, at about 1k coming in an hour. When a new expansion shows, or another large must-have, then we will should see a blip. If things drop dramatically between now and the next Facebook-like push, then I'd agree we had a blip fill a dip. But right now I don't think it is obvious that it happened.

[Pochi]

I thought you meant there would be a Dice Tower in the Kickstarter. Made me happy for a second. Now I see it is a website apparently. Sad!
