How did the phoenix/roc turn out?

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. 

 

It's been over a decade since I've lived there, but Australia had the worst internet of anywhere I've ever seen -- and I'm an American! I'm not surprised things are a bit wonky still, but hopefully the speeds have improved somewhat. ;)

@Thes Hunter, just saw your comment on the KS:

My husband would go for an Egyptian themed expansion. :) I'd love it too. And enos nice leeches.

Aug 17 2017 on Reaper Miniatures Bones 4: Mr. Bones EPIC Adventure!

 

There was that line of chibi Egyptian deities at ReaperCon last year............

There are lots of heavy minis in metal already that would transition to Bones well. Of course, I am finishing up the Egyptian part of my campaign. Doesn't mean I wouldn't goo in for more Egyptian themed stuff.

     Every now and then I get a notification that someone has "Liked" something I posted on this thread a day or two ago;  and all I can think is, "Good, job, buddy!  You can do it; you can catch up!  It's only 20 pages more to go to the end!"  

Well, when I wake up, I play catch up because you guys do 95% of the chatting while I am asleep. It told me this morning there were 85+ new comments to read!

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!

--OneBoot :D

 

Oneboot is now my favorite purple cat, officially. Not that I know many other purple cats. Just now I have an official favorite one.

Nope, our internet still sucks. Speeds may be marginally better, but nothing like what it should be...and that is before we take into account ridiculously low download limits.

 

On topic, my pledge is currently relatively small....Baba Yaga's hut and 2 lots of rocky (one set for each child....)

Will we know when/if it pops up?

 

Subtlety and keeping silent longer than necessary are not my strong points, so yeah.

no, they really can't unless they dumped a pile of karma into buying exceptional attribute or cyberware/magic to offset their bad charisma limit.

Somehow those two two quotes got stuck together...

 

@Werkrobotwerk it depends on your campaign and rules for trolls.

 

@jsalyers I don't typically answer these, especially two years in advance. It depends on what I need.

For not being subtle or able to keep quiet, you sure are a tease
