And she says:

" Spot art for Reaper's Dreadmere adventure setting: A Bonehenge witch summons a forest spirit. "

 

also:

"  I think with this one, part of me was trying to say that even in the most dismal, foreboding place, we can find beauty and wonder. Also, I kind of wanted to establish the Bonehenge witches as being more folkloric than camp. "

And we shall continue (gently) pestering Reaper about a cat dragon until it is in the cards to exist in an ambiguous future  My hope is that one of the sculptors reads all this and goes "for goodness sake, I'm on it already" even if it doesn't make it into Bones.

 

This is all my wishful thinking. I suspect there shall not be a cat dragon... but I'd very much like there to be. Pretty much, listen to @OneBoot!

Something that has yet to be revealed, if it makes it (crosses fingers), because, first and foremost, I sculpted it because I wanted it.  

Will we know when/if it pops up?

Never noticed the "Community" tab on the KS. Shows where the backers are from. Shows a bit why they picked U.K. and Australia for the hubs since they round out the top four after the US and Canada. Germany is a distant fifth. If backers is a useful proxy for customers in general, looks to be half their sales are on the island with the other half scattered across the EU.

 

Also interesting is that two Aussie cities are in the top five cities.

With the Aussie cities,  those are the two largest in Australia,  but also,  my guess is that kickstarter is reporting based on IP address,  and here in oz we're often reported as somewhere different to where we are.  E.g I'm currently reported as over 500km from my actual location.  People on mobile devices are typically reported as being in Sydney,  Melbourne or Brisbane regardless odd actual location.

I'd actually guess Kickstarter is pulling that data from the location field in your profile : )

Oh belive me, I'm totally on Team "I want a cat dragon" too! Also teams "I want Flumphs," "I want a gazebo," and "I want colored transluscent dragons."

 

The problem is when backers start stating that such-and-such mini IS going to be added to the KS project at some point rather than saying they WISH such-and-such were made, it can be confusing to new backers. They may not be aware of the different "I want___" teams and assume that something that's mentioned frequently must be an upcoming stretch goal.

 

Huzzah!

Unless,  of course,  someone left that blank...

Oh, yeah.... I should probably pledge, before I forget... (I think Megan beat me to it again.)

 

The Auld Grump - I am going to stop procrastinating... when I get around to it....

Right, time to do some math.

 

For boring tax reasons (again!) I'm going to split my pledges into separate accounts with no more than $175 against each, ideally separated by at least 5 waves to stagger delivery.

 

So, right now,

 

Main Pledge (Wave 1)

• Core ($100)
• Chronoscope ($50)
• Wraiths ($10)
• Naguarhyde ($15 and largely chosen for the way it exactly fills this pledge to $175)

Total:  $175

 

Secondary Pledge (Wave 5)

• Dreadmere ($50)
• "Modrons" - High Rollers ($12)
• Paint Set A ($18)
• "Bloodbowl Team" - Trolls ($12)
• Paint Set B ($18)
• Rocky the Red ($12)
• Skeletal Monsters ($12)

Total:  $134, $41 headroom left

 

So right now I don't think I need to activate my 3rd KS account.  But once the Chooken Hut goes live, I may have to consider that and the Tree of Diswoe and crank up the account I touch once every 2 years or so >.>

Sorry double quoted:( I am not sure, but wanted to put it out there.Will they do it? Probably not, but we haven't been negative that it ISN't, so never know.

But i would like to do the Cat dragon first. If we get it my wife will let me spend more money on this ks too.

Yah, I definitely want two if they do.

The live stream hasn't happened yet.  Ratmaster was saying he submitted that question for when it does happen.  You're going to have to twiddle for two days before we get an answer; assuming they even do answer that question... (which if I were a betting man I would say they won't).

 

 

but we may:)

Other than the previews that have been shown here: http://www.reapermini.com/bones4   Reaper has not confirmed the contents of any future stretch goals. 

 

All of the mentions of a cat dragon you've been seeing have been enthusiastic requests for Reaper to make such a mini, not statements that one is being made or included in this Kickstarter. 

 

Huzzah!

--OneBoot :D

still a lot of spaces on map:) And we may have another coming:) I mean no one expected baba yaga herself, even though we talked about it, and BOOM there she is, and for free (well part of core)
