Re: Kickstarter 2015
Has your shipping stalled? My tracking page has been stuck in the same location for 3 days now. At this rate it will take the rest of the month to get to me way up here in Vermont.

Re: Kickstarter 2015
Well, mine went from the Newgistics facility in CA to the Newgistics facility in NV last night. Too early to tell what the next step will be. I'll let you know if the tracking advances in the PM, as that seems to be when it updates.Lordnine wrote:Has your shipping stalled?

Mine finally moved! Went from Sparks, NV to Fishers, IN. Woohoo! Would be nice if it just gave me an estimate for arrival though.

Re: Kickstarter 2015
I doubt Cthulhu Wars is a game that will ever see store shelves, so if you ever want to play it, you might as well enjoy it. The base game on their website is $200! That makes the $140 from Kickstarter seem downright reasonable.MonkeyFinger wrote:Arrived today!
Wondering now if I should even open it...
A couple people have also reported damaged figures, so if you are one of them you will want to have those replaced. Green Eye Games have been very reasonable about replacements, just take a picture of the damage and they will send you a replacement as soon as available.

Yah, just got caught up on KS updates and they noted some issues with the game so it seems I should check and see if they all survived their transition to this dimension.Lordnine wrote:I doubt Cthulhu Wars is a game that will ever see store shelves, so if you ever want to play it, you might as well enjoy it.

Re: Kickstarter 2015
I think it will show up on online retailers, but I doubt it will be in your brick and mortar establishments (it was hard to find Space Hulk in any quantity at stores). I think they intend to sell it at retail, however, so I'm not sure why it would be available commercially (did they say as much, LordNine?).

This might have changed but as of about 3 months ago:
Information was sketchy but it sounded like there will be extremely limited copies available from an undisclosed online US retailer.
Physical retailers are unlikely unless a store specifically requests to carry it.
Things like the fancy plastic summoning gates will never be available again.
So in short, if you really want it, you will be able to find it. However, it's unlikely you will ever walk into a store and see it in large numbers or get it cheaper than it was through Kickstarter.

Re: Kickstarter 2015
Ah, I see what you mean. I can't imagine it won't show up on Coolstuff but, then again, Sandy did sort of say this was his "one off" chance to make a dream game for rabid fans. He has since opened their doors to that Theomachy game, but I have to admit the latest video showing them playing cards pretty much killed off any interest I had.

Here's something that's blowing up on Kickstarter right now (funded in less than 30 minutes, up to $575k right now): Exploding Kittens card game. Illustrated by the guy who does The Oatmeal. Looks like a fun filler game.

Re: Kickstarter 2015
Just kickstarted one 20 (well 25 in Canadia) level and one 350(40 up here) level so that we have enough for up to 8 players and that the NSFW cards will be rare and fun to see.
This is my first project to ever back. Exploding Kittens took my virginity.

Re: Kickstarter 2015
The biggest project ever ended a bit over $13M, so they have a real shot at taking the crown. Highest game is $8.6M, and highest tabletop game is $2.8M, which will be eclipsed this week most likely.Moat_Man wrote:It's trending towards $33 million.

4 extra scenarios and some figs that are exclusive to the King's box, as near as I can figure.

Re: Kickstarter 2015
Interesting. Just read the fine print. Shipping charged after the end of the campaign once they have all of the stretch goals added in. That could add a bit onto your overall pledge.

Lest anyone get the wrong idea, that fine print is the same size as the main print in the pledge level description. In fact, I would suggest the asterisk specifically calls your attention to it.hentzau wrote:Interesting. Just read the fine print.

Re: Kickstarter 2015
Yeah, thanks for pointing out how that read. Not like they are trying to hide anything. I just am so used to kickstarter rewards including shipping that I was taken aback when I finally figured out that you would have to pay for shipping separately.coopasonic wrote:Lest anyone get the wrong idea, that fine print is the same size as the main print in the pledge level description.

Cmon has really gone that direction. But for zombicide season three it was still reasonable even with all the stretch goals. Don't remember the exact number but i remember it being reasonable.
