Is it just me or has the second paint set not made it to the Pledge Manager?

I keep looking for it also.  Felt like it was supposed to be imminent but I haven't noticed it pop up yet.

Feeling a bit anxious for the red dragon. I don't have the dragons from Bones 1-3 (besides Blightfang) so I was looking forward to getting a collection of all the chromatics going. Might still happen, fingers crossed.

I'm confident they will make sure the red dragon makes it in. Having 4 of 5 chromatics would leave a bad taste in people's mouths, and the red is the most anticipated for sure.

 

It would probably actually make me pledge less because I'd like the whole set, but if the red didn't unlock I'd probably only get one or two others.

I disbelieve.

But seriously, I think it'll all be fine.  Once the really huge buy-ins start in an hour or two, things should start flying.

Do you people think they could implement "thematic add-ons" packs? 

For example: the five chromatic dragons at 50$. The Spider Encounter + Arakoth. The villagers with the bridge. The busts + the dragon bust. 

 

I don't know, I think it could be a good way to encourage people who may want one or the other to get it all. 

Overall, I feel there's little synergy among Add-ons: it could be easy to include stuff to add to the encounters (troll hunters; expeditioners for Mandupar; more hobbits for the spiders; a castle, even just a tower, for all of this siege machinery; Ruins, for the wights). Stuff that it's appealing by its own, and doesn't need anything else to work... but that you can buy to complement an encounter or a particular add-on (dragon cultists for the dragons...)

I feel that with little effort the add-ons section could be much more productive with unlocks that push you to pledge for other unlocks.

I really think they should have put Brinewind III in place of the demons. If pledges don't pick up, we aren't going to see part 3.

Reaper already assured in the comments that part 3 "will" unlock.

7 hours to go!

The Dragons would need to be $70, possibly $65 if they were to give a $5 discount from the total if purchased separately.

At these prices, you can easily build your own packs in the Pledge Manager.

Woke up this morning to see parts 2 & 3 of Chronoscope.

Not what I expected to see, not exactly what I wanted, but the last part is definitely within the parameters I'd been asking for for sci-fi.

 

Off to up my pledge. 

 

[turbocooler]

Floored!  Did not think we would see 18K backers and numbers keep spinning.  I have to leave for work but interesting to see what it ends at when I get home this evening.

I was looking for Anne's paints as well.  I just added 18$ on top of what the PM had my pledge at.  I figure I'll  be adding on after the KS closes, so I'm not too worried about shipping variance.

 

I'm a little below my Bones 4 pledge currently, but above Bones 1, 2, & 3 based on my KS pledge, not including amounts added during the PM phase.  I'll be mobile for much of the day, so I think I'll miss some of the excitement, which makes me sad.

Cool! It's nice to wake up to the Ghoul Queen encounter, as well as significant progress towards Chronoscope 2&3 with a little over 7 hours to go!

Here's hoping we can finish big!
