Only $30,000 needed to unlock Brinewind Part II.

 

I foresee it unlocking by morning, if not sooner.

 

I looked at Brinewood Pt I and went "I don't need any of those."  Brinewood II I want almost all of them!  Part III will be the kicker.

Here's an updated list of the teased/rumored/predicted items, with links to screenshots - "(NWS)" denotes links to screenshots that aren't work/family safe, so click them at your own discretion - the teased human pirates just appeared in Brinewind 2/3, and the "white dragon" was just revealed as "Ildraedis the Devourer":

 

• "red dragon"
• godzilla model
• Brinewind 3/3
  • a large boat (probably part of Brinewind, but not confirmed?)
  • Otter-Pirates (probably part of Brinewind?)
  • Catfolk Pirates (probably part of Brinewind?)
  • alligator man (possibly part of Brinewind?)
• a lovely group of Nereids (NSW) (possibly part of Brinewind?)
• a pair of hooded wraiths on horseback with skeleton archer
• a group of 3 succubi (NSW) and  three NSW Incubi (which seem all but completely confirmed to be part of the same six-figure set, probably an option?)
• two horned demons (could these be part of the same set as the succubi & incubi above?)
• a screenshot of Santa Claus and a giant muscular cyborg-looking guy with a steampunkish hammer/club (apparently Chronoscope?)
• a werewolf
• a screenshot of a (ghoul-themed?) bone-pit
• a screenshot of some terrain including a ruined wall and staircase (possibly part of the bone-pit?)
• Sophie's Pizza Dice (hinted with the comic and previewed at ReaperCon?)

 

Rumored items:

• Sophie (rumored, possibly part of the Core Set?  Alternatively, there's no reason a pirate Sophie couldn't appear in Brinewind...)
• a Rakhshasa (?) Cheshire Cat (apparently from a separate project by the artist and shown off at Reapercon, and unlikely to appear in this Kickstarter)
• A "fan favorites 2" expansion (it seems the Reapers talked about maybe doing this on a video I've not seen, with nothing more definite yet?)
• A rumored Chronoscope set, possibly with a pulp/mythos theme.  (This was apparently teased in a video, but I didn't see the video for myself.)
• a rumored Model A car (apparently teased in a video I didn't see for myself; possibly part of a Chronoscope/pulp/Mythos encounter?)
• I thought I saw someone say there might be more Kid Adventurers coming up, but that looked unconfirmed and rumorish; if true, these seem likely to be Core Set figures....
• another rumored piece of siege equipment, possibly a battering ram?

 

 

Note that just because Reaper teased something, doesn't mean it will appear in this Kickstarter, and these teases may be incomplete or otherwise subject to change without warning, so don't get attached to any of the above.

 

That said, I expect that at least most of the stuff with screenshots will get unlocked before the Kickstarter ends:  these teased items are getting revealed pretty quickly now, and it looks likely that Brinewind 3/3 will include a lot of these!  An option or two and an encounter or two would account for a lot of the others.

 

As always, the rumored items could very likely be wishful thinking, a "game of telephones" gone wrong, or other fan shenanigans, so I wouldn't believe them until Reaper actually teases some screenshots or mentions them in an official update.

Did I say 30,000? I meant $25,000. 

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah, that's what I meant.

[criticalhit]

I think your list is missing that alligator/crocodile/lizard person with the spear, the skeleton with the bow, and the werewolf alpha in the ReaperCon pics...or have they been confirmed as not part of Bones 5?

 

Edit: Nevermind! I see them now!

Ed had mention fan favorites and basically told ron to do it on Reaper live.  Now that doesnt mean it will make it in....but I think its being put together as a planned expansion.

Days to hit Bones 1 based on 24 hour average 1.7

 

40.8 hours or 40h48m.  42h23m remaining. Very good.

There's a couple of those I'd never seen before - I've just added them to the list.  I'd seen the screenshot of the skeleton with the bow, but thought he was part of Dungeon Dwellers - that seems to have actually been a skeleton with a sword I was thinking of, so I'm trying to find the skeleton with bow now.

the sculptor said that is unrelated to the kickstarter and was just something they had on their screen at Rcon

Thanks!  I'm still catching up on the last few pages, the feedback helps a lot!

I'm thinking of jumping waves. I enjoy that I was able to jump from wave 3, to wave 2, and then to wave 1 but the fact is, as a Canadian, the wave order doesn't matter to me. So I'm thinking I'll give up my wave 1 slot and let someone for whom the wave make (at least a little bit of) a difference have it.

Kind of the same for me, which is why I was happy enough to get from wave 13 down to wave 9...  Even if wave 5 would be a tad nicer for sentimental reasons.

He's not in any Bones 5 set yet. If you recall, the sword-wielding skeleton was initially left off the Dungeon Dwellers graphic. I almost wonder if it was supposed to be the bow-wielder, but in the rush to correct the graphic, they put the wrong one on?

 

(Pure speculation on my part. The set's seemingly purposeful aligning with Sunless Citadel & Forge of Fury in Tales from the Yawning Portal leads me to believe it is true, as there are skeleton archers in one of the modules.)
