My comment was all in good humor. I've invested quite some time in to WarCraft, 1,2, and 3, along with WoW. I am have tickets to see the movie on Sunday. I really only expect it to be eye candy, as Blizzard has that down pat. The rest will just be a bonus for me.
-
They made a game about the movie?

Hello Ordo!

Anyone looking to pick up some Deadzone stuff?

Thanks Veskit,
And no problems on the name thing, thats why we use handles ;-)

Sadly, due to life's many "fun" challenges I will be unable to attend this years event.
While I do know who I should contact for site questions, who would be the best person to inform that I will not be able to attend?
-
Like many above, I just saw Deadpool. Not having read the comic book, I am unsure how close to cannon it was. BUT, I would easily go back and see it again tomorrow. I might actually do so with my Brother as he has not seen it yet.
Very funny, and yes R, don't bring the kids.

All good points,
Yes, I can break out the SM's, and I will do so on Monday. In its current pricing, the Orks are at 50% of their cost (a little under) and the SM's are close to 25% their cost. So I was kind of "gifting" the marines if you bought the Orks.
I'll fix the link for the picture, thank you for letting me know it wasn't working.
-
Orks must not be a popular as they once were.
-
Sold

Sale pending

Curse you! ;)
What, the End of Feb, or using Captain A's services?

See you in April!

I am sorry to see this bad news, and you are 100% right, it does suck. But, from what I've read in this thread, you are taking the right steps.
My Brothers was a horrible one, his ex wanted to do every dirty trick possible. While sadden to hear the news, I'm glad to hear it will be a "quite" type vs the other types I've seen.
I hope things go well for you, and you get back on your feet quickly.
-
Yeah, first off, I doubt that you have looked through their tax documents to see what they can or cannot afford. I'd agree that they probably could self fund, but what they are doing is not out of the scope of kickstarter and it is not like they are doing anything unethical. But one thing that kickstarter does for them (and others) is allow them to avoid getting loans to cover production costs, and that will be a huge savings in the long run. Also, with the amount of stuff you get, it is a good deal.
I agree that their add-ons are often too expensive, but people aren't getting "dinged" with add ons. They are completely optional and the price is public info. Anyone paying for them chose to to so.
I think something else you are missing here is that Kickstarter gives them a clear view of how big the game will be based on actual interest. When their KS doesn't make it as big, they don't produce as many. Lowering the risk of over production is a huge boon to their business.
I get that it is a bit annoying, and it is certainly your choice to opt out (and mine too) but they are being smart about how they run their business and as long as it keeps working they'll keep doing it. KS has no rule about disallowing established companies from using it.
I wanted to come back to this a little,
I agree, what CoolMini is doing with Kickstarter is 100% within the rules. I in no way think they are doing anything shady. (I also backed Others, 7 Sins, lol).
What I was trying to suggest, as an opinion, is they don't "need" to use Kickstarter. Currently, IMHO, they are simply using kickstarter as more of a presales tool vs acutally needing the start up funds. In the long run, this hurts the physical game stores ability to stay afloat as deminishes their sellable product line.
SO, when it comes to games on Kickstarter, I try really hard to balance what will be available to me as an exclusive, and what I will be able to pickup at my local game store a little later.

Glad to hear your daughter is out of surgery and recovering well. Best wishes to a speedy recovery!

One of the bigger problems is that the producer is "Cool Mini-or-Not". They have enough cashflow that Kickstarter really isn't needed for them. All they really use Kickstarter for is to cut to the Mom&Pop game stores. They also really like to ding people with Add-ons that are higher than what they would be retail. For example their Zombicide wave 2&3 ended up being more expensive than what they are sold currently at the local games stores.
The game looks cool, and I'm still looking at what everything would cost. But, I've been going out of my way to NOT back CMoN mainly based on their use of Kickstarter as a preorder system vs tyring to get something off the ground.
Still looking,
This one looks better than some of their last, in terms of Add-ons and gotchas. The expainsion is the only one that has any exclusives (something I'm a sucker for). The "Teams" looks like they lack any exclusives, so those I can look at adding later, should it become a popular game.
At the 100$ level, it includes quite a few streach goals. Add-ons that have Exclusives are:
Apocalypse expansion (40$)
Men of Faith (20$)
Plastic Tokens (20$) -while they said this "might" be available for retail later, they were not 100% sure (it was in their update).
Sons of Ragnarok, Gamma Team and Delta Team do not contain exclusives, and adding via Kickstarter saves 5$ per set.
So I'll be pondering 188$ dollars from my fun funds:
Base game, Apocalypse, Men of Faith, Plastic Tokens, and 8$ extra dice pack (I've found the dice are usually worth it).
