Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
While I have no issue with the GitP fulfillment of the Kickstarter pledges, I have to side-eye the idea that the first of six companies not to outright defraud its contributors deserves a cookie for that...lack-of-defrauding.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
OotS is my second KS project. The first one delivered late, but with constant updates as to what was going on (delayed printing due to Chinese New Year, for example). Like OotS, they were up to Update #39 before fulfillments really started rolling. And they didn't provide a shipping notification (other than Update 39: The Boxening); I think that's an Ookoodook function.
Suspiciously normal.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
@Kish - They certainly haven't all defrauded me! #1 was a bunch of college-age kids raising money to take their band on tour for the first time, they're not business executives with a flowchart... they did their best, it came a little late, everything was done by hand and it took time. I'm just saying... Rich is the only one for me so far who is treating it like we're investors in his business. Even if my reward shows up three months late I would still feel like he conducted it more professionally and at no point have I been worried about it not panning out. Whereas the other ones have me wondering if someone's stealing stuff out of my mailbox because nothing ever arrives and I have no idea if or when it shipped or if they just forgot about it altogether.
The only one I am pissy about is the one that is four months late and doesn't answer mail. He finally posted an update after I posted on his facebook page that it's not nice to scam people Mostly I've only supported people I'm truly happy to help out and if they never send me the reward it won't kill me. (OOTS being the exception, I spent a lot of money on those drawings and I'm very excited about them! ) But hopefully the track record will improve. I'm an optimist, apparently, because I just pledged another two this week...

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
I'd like to point out that of course the reward for number 5 would be cheaper to buy separately. That's the whole point of a fund raising drive. It's not a store, it's a bonus for pledging money. They wouldn't be raising money if all the funds went right back into sending out the rewards. It would defeat the whole purpose of a fundraiser.
Yes, you should be getting an email with a tracking number in it.Last edited by NerfTW; 2012-05-22 at 11:09 AM.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
Yes, of course... obviously I wouldn't have paid a obviously too-high price if I wasn't trying to help them out. It's just kind of an extra kick in the teeth when your "pre-order" is both later AND more expensive than a regular release. I'm not mad at them or anything.
I just sent them a message to see if they ever shipped it... maybe they are innocent bystanders and my mailman has been stealing my stuff. If he has the same taste in music as me, it would explain a lot about my kickstarter track record.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
We played a one-shot the day after when about 1/2 was finished, so I don't know whether that really counts as restraining :D
I played a gnoll wizard and there was a drow rogue, a gnoll ranger I think and a gnoll skeleton.
For the last one we took the Gnoll with red glowing eyes since we didn't have undead yet :(
Just horribly unoptimized, awesome carnage with incredible minis, which actually quite matched the characters we were playing. That was kind of a first for me :P
I do think it was a great idea from SillySymphonies to print it on heavy paper.
We didn't even need coins.
Worst. Idea. Ever.
Just have to say that.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
So, I finally remembered to check the email that Kickstarter was sending the updates to (and then changed the email in my settings). After doing so, I picked up my copy of A Monster For Every Season.
It's a very nice thing, and I plan to make very good use of it. I just have a quick question; I apologize if this has been said before.
Are the kickstarter backers going to be getting the other Seasons (Summer, Autumn, Winter) as they're made, or is Spring the only thing being given out to Kickstarter?
If it's the latter, then that's fine. I already have plenty of good models from this first one, I would certainly be willing to buy the other three seperately as they're made, and the do-it-yourself opens up lots of doors. But I certainly wouldn't say no to the former.Awesome Avatar by Shattersnap.

Give a player a fish, and he’ll probably try to sell it to an NPC fisherman.
Teach a player to fish, and next week he’ll show up with the book, “The Complete Adventuring Fisherman”. He’ll start hunting for some monstrous leviathan to catch and enslave, and he’ll be dual-wielding two fishing poles.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
Update 26: The mini reward was initially one set, but was quadrupled to four if the 1.14 million line was met.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
Ah, thanks.
See, I had let the updates pile up in an email that is kind of disused now. Only recently did I switch it over to my most used one.
Anyway, when I checked up on it today, I just checked the latest one, and then the one with the actual links.
So yeah, this is great. Thanks for the info, and thanks, Giant, for the wonderful minis.Awesome Avatar by Shattersnap.

Took the time yesterday to download the monsters file. Very cool, and excellent hand modelling, Rich. You could turn that into a nice side business.
Finally done with all my moving, too.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
I'm getting a little concerned about one of my packages.
Has anyone gotten a $55 Swag Pack 2 yet?
I think everything I ordered is ready, as I didn't get the Sticky Sticks to go with it (or a book, or any other add ons). And I live in the US. But there is no sign of a shipping notice in my kickstarter email.
I know, Patience is a virtue. Perhaps I'm at the bottom of the shipping list because I filled out the survey on Feb 27.
I'm just dying to get my hands on those hp pads and stickers.
On another topic, so far only 1 kickstarter I supported is very late. There was good communication as to why (the stretch goals were more interviews with comic artists, meaning more footage for the documentary, meaning longer editing time) I do agree that the OoTS Kickstarter is by far the most professional and communicative I've ever seen.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
Did you try messaging Rich through KS?
In addition, we don't know the rate at which the rewards are being sent out. If it's a couple hundred a day-- which sounds like a reasonable enough guess, given that other things are probably going out on the trucks from Ookoodook and those trucks probably aren't moving more than a couple times a day-- then they wouldn't even through 5000 orders shipped yet assuming they started going out on the date of the last update. So, patience, friend. All good things in time.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
Closest equivalent in size for Euro coins vs Dollar coins.
US $.01 = EU $.10
US $.10 = EU $.02
US $.25 = EU $.50
The first two are slightly bigger in Europe, the US cent is somewhere in the middle of the 2-cents and 10-cents, but then the euro cent is too small for the dime. The quarter vs half euro is a very good match. In all three cases the euro coins are heavier than the American ones.The abilities of the Force: Control, Alter, Delete.

But we also found Coin, Pox, Loom, and Box.
Did we miss any?

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
Rich made a comment (not update) on Kickstarter recently that might help with questions about what pledges have been fulfilled.
I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that no $55 pledges have shipped out if $25 fulfillment began on the 17th at an average of 300 sent per work day. There are about 5000* pledges without autographs or Sticky Scthicks listed as an included award. Even if you subtract the unknown number of those pledges that added the expansion, it's still likely to be substantial.
*Edit: 5000 from the $25 level to the $55 level, that is.

Re: The extra words in the word find of the coloring book
I want to note that I had no idea what you were talking about until I checked the title of your post, first off.
And secondly, I want to note that:
SpoilerThose last four are short enough that they probably were coincidental. There's no way that "Loquacious" just happened to be in there, though.It's been a bit, GitP. If you're reading this, you're either digging through old stuff, or I've posted for the first time in forever.
If you want to stay in touch, reach out to me on twitter (same username).
The best answer is always to ask your DM.
Unless you're the DM, in which case you should talk to your players.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
Is there any news on the black-and-white line drawing version of the Monster Minis? Doesn't look like there's been an official update, but I might have missed a post from Rich somewhere...

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
It is good to know that Rich has almost completed the Sticky Schticks product, and the remaining number of the physical rewards will be going out in the near future.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
Got our stuff today, and it's awesome! The picture is framed and hanging the lounge on our chimney, and the HP pad is coming with me to D&D today! :D
We didn't get a notification about our stuff being posted, which may just be because we're UK people not US. So it was an awesome surprise of awesome when it turned up as I got home from work. :D

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
Hello,
I pledged $25 (and payed $35 [26.93 Euros] - international order).
According to Kickstarter update #22, my 'swag pack' should consist of a magnet, an art print, a sticker sheet, a hit point pad and a coloring book.
However, last Wednesday I recieved two of each of those.
Pleasant surprise, ofcourse, but what would The Giant like me to do? I'm afraid someone is missing out on their swag 'cause I got theirs by accident.
PS The 'swag' was sent in two separate envelopes - in case that's of importance.Last edited by SillySymphonies; 2012-06-01 at 02:00 PM.

SillySymphonies, why don't you email Rich through Kickstarter, as that's what he's asked people with problems to do in the past.
