Yes you did Thank you very much... That is twice this year I have seen you guys and I am looking forward to the next time...

Zach

EDIT- Man looking over my backer list there are so many of you that I have a hard time keeping up... (in no particular order) Smarmy, KingofPain, Bracton, Gnatthebegger, LucyJoyce, Burntwires, Blackmoor, MrManowar, BBarsh, CenterStage, PruFrock, Kaskoid, LeadJunkie, Hector, Chrisdeputron, Ligmancer and I suspect three more that I cannot directly confirm as I do not know the connection between your name on KS and your forum handle (but I beg you to let me know its you so I can thank you out loud and profusely). I have a good guess though as these are some of the most generous pledges.

The Aceaum is my third highest referrer in pledge value and it might very well be the first since I know some of you used a different gateway into the project.

What a humbling experience...right this second we are $270 away from adding another mini and 1570 from adding the first big one. As a heads up I am adding another original art level, this time with Lloyd Metcalf doing a painting (acrylics I think) of either your character or something similar that fits in with the theme (You as a gnome? You never know...). Lloyd is awesomely talented and I make sure he is very well compensated as good talent should be appreciated. I post more details later today for any who may be interested.

As the project creator I am in full control so if there is some way I can make your backer experience better, all you have to do is ask.

Thank you all....again....

Zach

12 days to go and just passed $13,000...in large thanks to the people here.

I added a level (and add-on choice) for a huge 40" x 32" poster map on 36 lb paper that will be shipped rolled up and tubed for $30.

The color is just awesome and it is all hand drawn (by my request and for additional money). Even Alyssa Faden, the Artist (Cartist?) thinks it is one of her very best.

Here are two color images that together make up maybe 10% of the total map.

Northern town of Cleft and the Northwall Range....



And the eponymous Whisper, with the town of Swindle nearby.

I'm offically suffering from Kickstarter fatigue.

I've been on Zach's Ks t least 4 times trying to decide, but it's not just a symptom of his project, I think.  It must be me.  I'm struggling more & more trying to understand pledge levels, add-ons, free add-ons, stretch add-ons, shipping costs included, additional shipping costs, etc.

I'd be way more agreeable to an understandable this is what you pay, this is what you get arrangement.  I can't believe it's any easier on a manager to try and project total pledges compared with added per-unit costs.  So many moving targets.  If this is how business is done nowadays, well, it's complicated.  

I'm backing Zach at $50 plus the module add-on... and that'll be it for me I think. Too much effort on my part trying to understand my KS 'purchases', I'd rather go back to buying stock or making (hopeful) pre-orders.

I just sent you a PM

lokiwookie wrote in Kickstarter projects:Certainly I missed something, but I don't understand if the $75 pledge level includes the Old School module ($25 add-on) or not.
(I am like David, KS project look like more and more complex... Too many text, everytime.

I am with you on that- though you wouldn't know it from my project...all things to all people on a project like this one is what is expected anymore.

I have an easy answer though...no, the module is a $25 add-on with a $75 pledge...

If miniatures are not your thing you can pledge the same $75 and get a boxed-set and a module.

I hope that clarifies it for you....

Zach

lokiwookie wrote in Kickstarter projects:Yes, thank you!

My pleasure...if you like art by Jeff Dee or big maps send me a PM...I want to maximize a one time run of real deal art ... At cost...

Please check your PM box in a few minutes...however I do wish to answer this publicly and transparently.

$75 gets you all the minis but the 3 Attorals  (should be three, I just hired the sculptor for the last one)

The mod is $25 extra and it will be lovingly finished by me and my editor to standards everyone here can expect.

I have to work under the constraints that Kickstarter has unwittingly laid out or other projects have codified (Thank you Reaper Minis :/ )

If you are a member here you have maximum levity in rewards and consideration...I am first and foremost a collector and this is the only place I digitally hang-out...everyone here need only breath a word and I will move heaven and earth to make you happy. Profit is not even on my radar, a quality product worthy everyone here is.

In fact that is the only thing on my radar.

This project really is a love letter to D&D and has rewarded me already with the chance to make it happen.

The worst vice is advice but here is some anyway ...

Only do a Kickstarter if you are a masochist

I'm in as well

I've launched a new Kickstarter project to fund a print run of my A5 OSR character sheets. They will be litho printed and come as board-backed pads of 25 sheets. It's a small project and has already almost met its initial funding goal. Just £2.00 gets you a pad of 25 A5 sheets including UK delivery, and there are substantial discounts for backers who pledge for multiple pads. This is my fourth Kickstarter project this year. My first three projects were all delivered on or ahead of schedule.
