The Legendary Tale that isn’t in the above list was something something of the Slaughterwaulers, which wasn’t mentioned at the time I made that list. It was later posted (by Reaper_Jon?) on Facebook. 

Yeah, I thought that there was an official list as well, but google does not help with that. I have scrolled through Facebook page, but I guess must have missed it, or it was replaced\removed? I think it might have been a poll. Yours was the best I was able to find and sorry for not quoting it directly but could not figure out at the time 😕

i have more money i could throw at the kickstarter

 

they're just not giving me anything interesting to throw my money at lol

 

i was planning on getting add ons from this kickstarter, except all the add ons so far are repetitive basic monsters i already have tons of. The dragons are good, i do love dragons, but Charondar i don't really like much, while i do like the anniversary dragon

 

i like the owlbear set, i'd like more of that kind of thing

 

but the other add ons? I do not need more orcs. Gnolls. demon people. i don't have an interesting in chibis. I have tons of all of those from previous kickstarters

WTH is that? 

Oh, that's Dave in, uh... Engineering before their first coffee.

Finally went and checked out the pledge calculator and adjusted my pledge based on that. Getting everything I am sure that I want so far gets me up to about 75% of my allotted in campaign funds. Still waiting to see what's in a couple of those expansions before I pledge for them though. But right now I'm heavily leaning towards the Hakir box. That, coupled with a bunch of Egyptian style scenery I got from Hammerlot games last year and a ton of mummies I've already got, should be enough for me to run an interesting desert themed campaign in the future. 

 

I'm starting to think that even if there's a big push in the next few days I'll be able to get most everything I want for my initial budget and can then take my time mulling over whether or not to add a few things post Kickstarter. Which is definitely not a bad thing. I threw tons of money at the last couple of Kickstarters and still regret not getting a few things. Especially since some of them haven't made it to retail. I don't think that's going to be an issue this time 

 

Also, the environmental nerd in me is still waiting to see what's in that bog encounter. I'm hoping for a bunch of people in chest waders armed with clipboards, bug traps, and soil probes having a friendly meeting with a bigfoot. But I do understand how that may not sell well.

I would buy that in a heartbeat.  I might buy two.

My group would go for that scenario, but you're right, it's a minority interest here.

It's of more interest to me than the majority of this kickstarter. 😕

This might be the only post of these with enough self awareness to realize how incredibly specific these requests are.

I have always been confused (and in previous Bones KS) as to what this bizzarre fascination with a children's tv character is all about....

So finally got around to looking it up, and find that the TV characters are Flumps....not Flumphs!   mea culpa.  Turns out they are interesting flying jelly fish things?

 

 

 

Flumphs also have the distinct of being the only Lawful Good creature entry in Fiend Folio. A monster book full of nasties.

Tease in latest Update.

 

Certainly seems like Reaper is turning up the unusual factor with this one!

 

 

I like this guy. Wizkids totally dropped the ball on the Nolzur's offering (spawnling perhaps? I mean, not even a large size creature mini!). "Unfortunately" for me, I picked up the board game offering mini awhile back, but this would be nice to have for multiple encounters & obviously for people who need this guy.

Hm…mixed thoughts on this guy.  Too small for me and don’t like the crab legs but everything else looks great and been wanting a reaper not otyugh for awhile.

 

Reaper has a couple of "Notyughs" in their metal & Bones line ups already:

Filth Beast (77394)

Dung Monster (2737)

Looks like a "close enough" version of a Xorn or Otyugh to avoid copyright issues (not sure if either of those are WotC copyrights), just like how every miniature company not named Wizkids has a Not-Beholder in their catalog

 

Pretty sure Xorn & Otyugh are both WoTC properties as I've yet to see either name pop up in Paizo product.

Otyughs are one of those weird ones where they can appear in written stuff by name but the miniatures can't be named as such because they need to have the SRD disclaimer written on the product:

From some random Pathfinder book:




But they're "Sewer Beasts" in Pathfinder Battles

 

Strangely Owlbears can be similar, as the only ones Pathfinder has had in the minis lines are "Beaky" and "Monstrous Skeleton"

The new Reaper one looks like a partner for the Bones 2 version:



Rather than the metal one in the more classic style

[corbie]

Flumphs are some of my favorite D&D critters.

 

Reaper, release the flumphs. We have so many good vibes for them to live off of.

[Glitterwolf]

Only 4 days to go.

Part 1 of Tomb of Hakir isn't unlocked yet. I don't think we will get to see the full set unlocked.

So far I'm sadly still not as excited as I was with the other Bones Kickstarters I feel a bit sorry about that.

For a starting collector this is a great set and good value and it's a succesful KS as it is.

Congrats to Reaper.

Huh, thanks for the heads up.  I knew about the filth beast (don’t actually like it) but was unaware of the dung monster.  That guy looks pitch perfect. Got the legs and everything.
