I'm hoping that to get the better bonus package/items you don't have to be in at the $250 level, as with RA, and that there will be some way for those of us who've been previously supporting S&W to get those better stretch goals.edit: from re-reading the kickstarter page, it looks like it's really the reprinting and expansion of the Monster Book that buyers are getting something more from.
Mythmere1 wrote:It's two existing books -- the Kickstarter goal here is to come out with highly improved versions of them. The rulebook will be a stitched hardcover, whereas up front pricing required a regular glue binding on the last printing. Erol Otus cover art is the other step up. For the Monster Book, the focus is on creating illustrations (and the durable binding). The existing Monster Book has very few illustrations.Except for some collector-oriented material at the top (leather books, etc), this is very much focused toward players. Durable binding, dice, a screen .. very basic, meat-and-potatoes gaming stuff to support the game. The books are incredibly inexpensive at this quality level, because we are trying to do a great, big event that establishes the "gateway drug." :D
