Yes, 5-6 player support is part of Jagged Earth.
13 more hours.
in other news, I wonder if this Kickstarter will contain any spirit island app goodies.
I doubt it, because I don't think GtG/Handelabra want to commit time up front. Perhaps a code for expansion content at best.
your probably right. This will most likely be it’s own Kickstarter.
about 3 more hours to go. Probably 15 hrs till I can get on and back due to work and game night
It may be too late to ask this but uh, how does one get in on playtesting this expansion? Spirit Island is easily my favourite board game currently and I'd love to help out in testing and improving its latest expansion.
Also everything shown in this thread looks great and I'm even more excited for this expansion to hit my table now.
That's a great big "we don't know" right now. In the July or August "State of GtG" thread, Paul mentioned that they've hired Chris (Braithwhite) as a Playtest Manager and were making moves toward adding new playtesters to the rolls. And I know that at Gen Con, they were collecting info from people who were interested in getting added to the rolls. But since then... crickets.
I just talked to Paul about this yesterday. I've been holding off on a new open call for testers while I set up several internal testing procedures, as well as revamping how we communicate with our testers. Now that Earth Prime is done, Prime War and Jagged Earth need a lot of focus testing. As such, I want to bring on new testers, and I'll be making another open call. I'll make a general announcement next week, but if you are seriously interested, just send me a DM.
I can not back until later tonight but after looking at the kickstarter, two questions come to mind:
1) The Broken Token insert is great but what is the timetable for release. I would kinda like to have it now and pay the extra 10 dollars compared to waiting until May 2020.
2) All of the add-ons look great, especially the preminum token pack. However my wife gave me a price limit that I am trying to respect for this kickstarter so if I can not get this during the kickstarter, will this be available in retail or on the website or is this a kickstater exclusive.
I don't think that GtG has ever done KS Exclusives in the past. they're not, for example, CMON.
True. I just want to make sure I would be able to order it later if I choose not to right now. premimum tokens are great but they are something that I can live with ordering at a later date.
They’ll all be available later. As to whether your FLGS will carry them all is a different story and you might have to order directly from the GtG store.
Powerhound. sounds good. Now the question is the broken token insert release date. I think that affects my decision on if I get it or not through the kickstarter.
First child — congratulations! I only skimmed the video, but couldnt tell: were there sufficient shots of the spirit boards/power cards to be able to make proxies? (Or does anyone have the relevant language?) If so, I’d be happy to make some similar to the ones I did for Grinning Trickster/Burning Plague. I’ve rather got the hang of it now, and it shouldn’t take too long.
I think I could have made proxies from what'sin the video. I think there was only one power card in the shot of six that I couldn't see all of the elements of but it may be in some other shot (or you may be able to guess)
I will not be able to make proxies at this time. I have way too many other things to do that are a lot more important, and it's hard for me to get any games to the table, let alone Spirit Island which is a longer commitment.
I would love to be a playtester but if there's any expectation that I'll be able to play a certain number of games, I'm not sure I can commit to it. I'll wait for the general announcement and see where things are :-)
I've asked this on BGG already but doesn't hurt to ask twice. The premium tokens look like they might be thicker than the regular ones. Will they still fit in the Broken Token insert?
From the Kickstarter:
Where does it say that? I can’t find it even if I search for that text.
Unfortunately it's buried pretty deep in the comments section, in reply to Stephen Robert Kuban.
Great, thanks! Expansion + Broken Token + premium tokens it is!
Stoked for this. Just amazing. Almost enough clear enough card images to do PnP for Finder of Paths Unseen and Many Minds Move as One. Sopsyched about everything here.
