a little more than I expected but based off what I am hearing, worth it. Now just have to convince my wife to give me 50 dollars. Was hoping for an update on the maps since she is kinda mad at me over ordering stuff and stuff not showing up yet. Doesn't understand what end of the year means
@morph147
The maps just got to our warehouse and will be shipped out over the course of the next few weeks! They might all be out before the KS launches, and you will definitely have them before it ends :)
sounds good. Looking forward to it

You do know about the curse, right? Whoever is in the cover of SI is cursed and starts losing.
What the heck is a "canonical island map"?
From the FAQ:
It is a map of the canonical island setting of Spirit Island, which will include a realistic distribution of terrain types and labels of the canonical homes of each of the spirits. The Canonical Island PLAYMAT included at the CHAMPION OF THE DAHAN level will be printed on a durable, roll-able material (either vinyl or cloth; not paper). It will be usable for playing a more thematic (but less balanced in terms of terrain distribution) version of the game.
Did you see the FAQ?
EDIT: Ninja'd.
Spirit Island is funded!
yay now my wife will allow me to participate. she said not until it was funded because she didnt want me spending money that may or may not get funded. lets get those stretch goals now.
That seems odd as you don't get charged for a project pledge unless it actually reaches its funding goal.
Sound like one or both of you don't understand how Kickstarter works…
ONE OF US! ONE OF US!
since I have never done it before then correct, no clue.
Oh! Well then, the principle is that Kickstarter is for things that need a certain amount of money to go forward. As such, when you make a pledge, your credit card is not charged; instead, a hold is put on your account. I f the Kickstarter is unsuccessful (does not reach its funding goal), none of the credit cards are charged. Only if the Kickstarter succeeds are the credit cards charged, and then only at the end of the campaign (in about 3 week in this case).
The major risk is not that the Kickstarter will fail (because you don't give any money in that case), but that the Kickstarter will meet its funding goals, but then end up not delivering the product they promised. That's a pretty small risk with a well-established company like Greater than Games.
Anyway, glad you can join the Kickstarter!
There are a lot of people who won't back something until it funds, a lot of them don't want failure on their backer list.
I've certainly seen that but the impression I got from morph147 is that he and his wife thought the money would get charged regardless of successful funding. For Kickstarter that isn't the case ever but I do know other crowdfunding sites allow you still collect even if you don't reach the funding goal.
The first stretch goal has been reached! Huzzahs are in order
Hurray for stretch marks! Or goals, whatever. ;)
