The Kickstarter is Coming

The Kickstarter is coming this month! It will launch the morning of 22 September! Craig will make a post to that effect in the next few days!

Very excited!

Here's hoping we can build back into that buzz we had about a year ago...

We can all help by spreading the word, especially those of us who have been playtesting it and know how awesome it is!

My group are very enthusiastic about getting a copy. :)

Count me on the super-pumped side!

I'm pretty excited about this. Christopher is personally excited about this and considering the games he has made this has me interested in this as well.    It was a brief overview at Origins but he took time he didn't have to going through various components in this game with my son and me.  

I've never really gotten time to PT this but ever since Brathwaite demo'd it for me at PAX South I have been waiting anxiously for this one.  I found the game fascinating and and can't wait to get the final copy

I ran a bunch of demos of this at GenCon. The game was really well received; I only wish there had been time to show more people. It was my first time seeing the art, which is awesome.

Agreed, grysqrl - it really is beautiful stuff.

I'm especially interested in seeing how they've simplified the base set…

Yeah, I'm really excited! :grin:

I'm dying to see all the art!

anyone know what the cost will be yet?

We won't know for sure until the kickstarter is launched but I would guess 30 to 40 dollars for the main game.  It could be more if they have a planned expansion already or other game addons. 

K. That was my guess too since G>G doesnt really have anything over 40 for a single product. This will depend though on if I can do the kickstarter and if wife will let me. Shes currently mad because of all the other stuff I have preordered to this point that hasnt shown up yet, which is why I had to wait on New Bedford. Hopefully those sentinel tactics maps show up soon so I can stop listening to her yell at me about it.

I am pretty excited for this as well. After all, GtG has proven that they can make a top notch co-op game

The MSRP of the core game will be $49.95. It will contain 8 spirits as well as various adversaries and scenarios for more advanced play.

For Kickstarter backers, the basic pledge level will be $49 plus shipping, which will include a promo spirit that will only be available on KS and at conventions. We also have a variety of free stretch goals for backers that will upgrade components to custom-sculpted plastic pieces for the core game, add another promo spirit, as well as build a free expansion for backers (MSRP $19.95-$29.95) that will contain up to 4 more spirits as well as Events and other advanced gameplay elements.

Will those custom-sculpted plastic pieces be in color?

Any chance of getting the invader pieces metal-impregnated? I've been playing with steel invaders and it's the best.

Plastic pieces? Noooo! I was really hoping for nice wooden ones. Plastic just seems so... unnatural.

plastic (or metal) works for me for the invaders, but I really hope the spirits and Dahan are wood. 

Oh, not to worry! The invaders will all be plastic pieces, but the spirit presence and Dahan huts will be wood. Because that's thematic and awesome.

Thank goodness for that. :slight_smile:
