funded Reaper Bones 5: Enthusiasm and Commentary thread

[kristof65]

Just completed mine:

Order #458

12-12-2019

Bones 5 Core Set x1

Pirate Ship x1

Brinewind Expansion x1

Chronoscope Expansion x1

 

 

One feature that I miss from the old Pledge Manager is when you were viewing the rewards, it told you how many you had already ordered.

I’m suddenly unable to sign in to the Pledge Manager. It’s been fine up until today but now I keep getting a “Not found” message. 

 

Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Not me. I just tested it and it let me in without error.

I know some people have been having trouble with capitalisation in their email addresses, so maybe check that?

[Loim]

So, I think I'm done with the pledge manager. I added Murkillor. Everything else will wait for retail.

 

I mostly wanted the undead and the Dragonkin.

 

I am really thankful that the Reaperpeeps take such good care of us, and let us cherry pick the items we want. 

[kristof65]

I knew I was using my pledge dollars for every big thing I wanted - expansions, pirate ship, core set.  Figure it will be easier to add the smaller dollar items later. 

Now that I've spent my pledge, I just went through and selected everything else I'd like to get, just to see what it totals up to.  GULP...

Yeah, that's going to be $50 a month between now and when the pledge manager closes.  Time to start donating plasma.

Oh, crud. The new PM doesn't tell you what you've already backed for? I don't remember what I added in my first step of the PM. I'd better dig out that email confirmation.

[strawhat]

It's not the most convenient, but there still is the "Order History" option.

 

But, yes, I miss having the PM tell me right on the page what I ordered previously.

They announced a few "power ups" for the Bones 5 Pledge Manager during tonight's Reaper Live.

 

There will be a Battering Ram sculpted by Chris Lewis.

 

Bobby Jackson did a set of six different demon guys (a bit bigger than humans) that would work great for a wargame unit or D&D, and those will go into the pledge manager.  The leader has big wings and a sword.

 

Jason (Weibe?) did some "beast men," an extra Son of Barty, and some Mongrel Men, all of which should make it into the pledge manager.

 

They will have different options for the ship (still planned opaque, clear, and translucent green), but those options have not been put into the pledge manager yet.  I know some have already locked in and paid for a pirate ship; I'm wondering how they are going to handle figuring out which of those eventual options those early orders are for...

 

That's all that was Bones 5 related.  No new renders or anything.  They have had the catopblepus 3d print on the turntable for the last few episodes, but they haven't explicitly showed it off, so far as I know.  If you watch the upload on YouTube, there is at least one spot where they go to the "QVC Cam" to show off something else, and you can see the catoblepus fairly clearly.

 

I locked in my first order on Tuesday.  Wave 3, Order #245.  I got the Core Set and Dungeon Dwellers in the first order, then quickly followed it up with another order for the Shadows of Ravenhome encounter, which ate through most all of my initial pledge.  I'll be making many more orders in the months to come.

I’m waiting for some more info on a few different things before I start using the pledge manager.

I believe earlier they spoke of this as add-ons for the ship. Like it would come normally as shown on the pictures, but they would have seperate options for a cool shipname plaque and other such add-ons to the ship.

Not things that are vital for the ship to work, but things that would make for nice enhancements.

Did they ever decide on the ship name everyone voted on?

THat name was just for the name the product will have. They spoke of multiple options as add-ons for ship names. 2 names they offer plus a blank plaque is what I recall.

I haven't seen the latest Reaper Live episodes, but the last I saw was Sophie's Revenge was the most voted pick by a big difference. This seems plausible to be one of the plaque options then.

So with the election results in the UK, it seems Brexit is very likely to happen soon. The other EU hub will be the one to be used for the kickstarter I'm assuming.

It's good this is known up in front so everything can be smoothed out in time. It was in Germany as I recall. Wonder what we'll hear about this in the upcoming weeks =)
