Conan Kickstarter


So I saw this Kickstarter mentioned on Plastic Legions the other day and I could not resist signing up for it. It has already smashed through two or three Stretch goals since Tuesday and it seems like it is worth it for the figures alone. Fingers crossed.

I also got an email from the Dungeon Saga Kickstarter by Mantic. They have set up a pledge manager and will be inviting me to get onto it sometime this week. I am a relative newbie to Kickstarter, Conan will only be my 4th, and the first time I have been involved in a project complex enough to need a pledge manager. I suppose it's nice to be able to add stuff on if you passed on it the first go round, but it seems a little overly complex. We shall see.

I realized on Tuesday as well that I could catch up to my target by painting 171 points worth of stuff. Of course since then I've been distracted, so we shall see how that goes. I really need to focus today to have a chance of getting something submitted.

We'll see if a kid sick at home and volunteering will allow me the time I need.

    1. Hi Chico, cool. Sometimes being a club of one has its disadvantages. Hope to hear about your Sword and Sorcery adventures.

  2. I'm thinking that this might have to be done - just sitting on the fence at the moment.

  4. This is a great KS. Looking forward to receiving the game, and those figures of REH's world.

    1. Hi Mark, the figures is really why I put my money down, I haven't even really payed attention to the game itself. But I am intrigued to see if it will be something we can play at home.

  5. Wow, looks like a really good project. Too bad that with current exchange rates to brazilian Real, shipping costs and me still waiting for some very late KS projects, I will probably end up skipping this.

    1. Hi Ricardo, too bad about all the factors against it for you. I have passed on many projects because it just wasn't the right time. Zombiecide is a big example.
