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.

 

Very interested in the Mongrelfolk.

 

A few different flavors of twisted, hunched, and hooded mongrel men and mongrel women would be very useful for Curse of Strahd.

They added stand-alone 4-packs of Extra Walls of Stone and Extra Walls of Thorns to the PM. They are only $4 each (that's $1 per wall section!)

Not going to lie, I'm probably going to max out and order 10 packs of those walls of stone. They'd be nice to just use as dungeon terrain, and not just as spell effects.

I was thinking of doing that for both wall sets. But future monies will tell...

Out of curiosity I looked up the spells: 

 

Wall of stone (5e)  you can make 10 units of 10x10 wall 6" thick  or 10 units of 10x20 that is 3" thick   (5 or 10 sets) 

Wall of Thorns (5e) 60' long 20' high.  - (3 sets), ignoring height. 

 

Pathfinder

Wall of stone : one 5x5 per level :  (1-5 sets) 

Wall of Thorns one 10x10 per level (4-10 sets)

Did we ever get confirmation that the wall sections are 2" wide and 2" tall?  I'm assuming that's what they are (partly because many of the other spell effects are so large), but I can't recall off hand that we got that confirmed.

 

I was assuming 1" walls.  it they are 2" then 2 sets+ core, covers most uses.

Uh oh.  I might have to max that out myself, or at least get a few handfuls of them.  They could be useful for quickly setting up stone walls in say, oh I dunno, that Japanese based table I wanted to make for Infinity....:ph34r:
