Okay Mezike, that sounds cool. If it's you doing all the pledges on behalf of all of us, though, how do we see new updates on the Kickstarter page? Don't they tend to be for pledgers only? Also we wouldn't get e-mails telling us when there is an update :(.
I will email/pm you within 24hrs of every backer only update - you won't miss a thing!
If you want to comment on the KS and get updates directly from it as well you can pledge one dollar to the project.
Sure, except with currency exchange fees $1 ends up becoming £2 or £3! It's the magic money multiplier from your favourite high street bank. Fair point though!
You can always cancel your $1 pledge before the project ends, if you just want updates during the campaign itself.
It looks like GtG tends not to do backer-only updates.
That's true. I won't worry about missing anything, then :).
Yeah, backer-only updates are shady business, in my opinion. The only reason we'd do one if it had a link to something just for backers, but the information from updates should be from everyone!
We'll probably end up doing a backer-only update as part of the Sentinel Comics RPG Kickstarter, but that's about it.
Okay, I'm in for two copies, if that's cool Mezike?
Also if you're reading, hi Chris. :)
We're up to fourteen members now with a couple of fence-sitters who have not yet committed to joining us (the mad fools!)
Not quite enough to get Andy over for a game then, but maybe adequate for a postcard picture so he can join us in spirit. Just a note for anyone still thinking about whether or not to join that I will close this group buy to new members next Wednesday (two days before the KS closes).
Come join us... we have jelly beans!
Just an update to say that this group buy has now closed to new members. Any latecomers who still want in will need to send me a personal message as I'll be away for a few days from tomorrow (and don't assume you're in unless I get back to you with a confirmation!)
Final tally is fifteen copies so I think we did alright as far as group buys go!
Resurrecting this thread just to point out that shipping has started (yay!) and international is going first this time (twice yay! Thank you GTG for not making us wait weeks and weeks longer any more!) and also that our package falls into the "D" name range so will hopefully be a relatively early one out the door (triple yay! this time for my parents and their early-alphabet-child-naming-policy).
I have some holiday coming up so hopeful this will arrive just in time for me to start sending them out before I go. I'll keep group buy members updated both here and on the BGG thread.
Did I say Yay by the way?
I'm trying to be patient, but that's extra difficult when your name begins with A and your game is being delivered to a D. ;)
Your parents were clearly keener than mine in their alphabetically-early-child-naming policy. I wonder if it's too late to change my name to something beginning with a zero?
Well, mine begins with an E so you're both better off than me in that regard ;). Also, yay! Spirit Island, yay! :D
We just need a Cidney or a Bobby to join us and then we are almost a quarter of the way through the alphabet. Or a Bobert, a Booby, Billhelm, Bradford, Bimothy, etc. etc.
They were. My brother is an Adam.
I mean, you've got a C right here
