Hey all! I could use another set of eyes (or twenty!).

If you're so inclined, please have a look at this and let me know if you have any suggestions.

Thanks!

 

I would give KS an extra week to transfer the money and data to Reaper.

Man, I want that rose gold paint .

 

Anne said on the stream today that there would probably be some paint leftover after the party.  The question is how do we get our hands on it?!

Just watched twitch rerun today. The paint "Stick Pins" are pretty cool.

Reaper should sell them as a $5.00 option when purchasing a LTPK. Maybe $10.00 otherwise. 

Such would get a decent amount of negativity form those who've already purchase said kits, as well as plenty of paint.  Some of us have been trying to get one for two years, but wind up just using a safety pin or bent paper clip because getting a nice dropper bottle nozzle cleaner is a royal pain. 

 

So a fixed price would go over better, I'd suspect.

We may be able to order this for a short period of time after the Wrap Party.

Pity winter has already reared its head.  It would be lovely if once or twice a year during different seasons some of these paints would be offered.  The special paint they included in orders last December was DOA, and I'm not rolling the dice when it's already decently below zero in many areas. 

 

As for the dark depths expansion, it's gone from "eh" to "ooh, neat" but I'd like to see more renders before I truly decide on whether I'm getting it or not...

They were implying the extras would be for ToolBox twitch stream give-aways.

Actually, I almost did exactly that. 

I might be dating myself but I thought Kickstarter tried for two weeks to collect pledges but when I checked the policy, it's now one week. Huh.

I explicitly didn't mention transferring money to Reaper. I just felt it's not important to speculate on when they get their bounty and flee the country start production in earnest.

As for the data, that process is actually initiated by the creator, not Kickstarter and I trust that once pledges are finalized Reaper will download it immediately (since they don't use the built-in surveys) so that Kit can integrate it into their database.

Thanks!

Did you get the dates, info, and most importantly the ok from Reaper to do this.

 

Dont get me wrong, I think it looks great and official and all... but this sort of info about the timeline should come directly from Reaper, and not from a third party.

 

Even if this is correct at the moment, we know stuff happens and time schedules can and do change.

If delays happen or other unexpected changes happen, Folks who were going by this schedule are going to get upset and blame Reaper and not you.

 

My 2cents anyway.

All of the KS's that I have backed, They creators always state that it takes Kickstarter 2 weeks to get them information, but I could be mistaken.

I have hundreds of Reaper paints and have purchased 3 LTPK, and I would be fine if they added the stick pin option to a new/existing LTPK. A fixed price of $10.00 would also work.

No, just educated guess based on Kickstarter policies and past experience. That's why I named it UNOFFICIAL. It's just a quick guide to give people an idea of what to expect.

Perhaps I should emphasize the word unofficial?

I don’t think that would be enough.

I tend to agree, I think this runs too close to something Reaper themselves should put out.

 

Edit: Though I share your enthusiasm and applaud the effort.

Less than $12k to go to the next unlock. Today has been chugging along nicely.

So, the sea dragon doesn't really do it for me, but if I get the ship his big ol' noggin will be one of my go to figureheads.

Yeah. I think the body is too short and chubby for my idea of a sea dragon. I want him to be long and sinuous.

The skull headed pins are a specialty item that’s only available at reapercon. According to ReaperBryan (long ago) they’re pretty labor intensive to make, which is why they aren’t available regularly.

On twitch Brother Dave mentioned the $5 cost to make, and what would people are willing to pay for it
