We’re trended at ~26.8K/Day globally over the past 8 days (since the 23rd.)
We’re trended at ~32K/Day globally over the past 5 days (since the 26th.)
There are ~14 Days left in the campaign.

Including global numbers we are trending slightly upwards over the past 5 days, with NA sales trending upwards, along with global.

If the 5 day trend continues at ~$32K, that will add approximately $448K to just break the 3M stretch goal.
If the typical tends more towards the current 8 day trend running at 26.5K, we’re looking to add an additional $371k to pass the 2.8M goal, hitting ~2.9M.

If current crowdfunding trends continue, the alt sculpt Hammer Orcs will likely be reached by the end of the weekend or Monday at the latest.

While the alt sculpt female mummies aren’t a guarantee by any means, an average sales of just over $17K/Day will put those into the hands of the Mythic tier supporters. Based on the numbers we’re seeing and the current North American pledges, that looks like an increasingly likely possibility.

I don't know if pusle will have a similar peak at the end like Kickstarters, but don't forget that things like that happen.

I don't know if pusle will have a similar peak at the end like Kickstarters, but don't forget that things like that happen.

Absolutely, the “last minute rush” can definitely be a thing for all of these style of crowdfunding events. But we don’t have any true numbers to go on with that. Will it be 50K? 100K? 200K? Any “bonus at the end” will likely push us over into the next ‘crowdfund tier’.

Based on that as a possibility, we’re in all likelihood going to reach the current 3M goal through that push at the end.

But I’m not counting on that happening. If it does happen, then to paraphrase a famous painter out there we just get to accept that “happy little accident”.

[Kurgan]

Bonus? We were not promised any bonus... but if it's not German colored dice...

[Severindrax]

well. i'm in for the mythic pledge. Just wish they'd re-skin the bard as a dwarf. then he'd be the best thing about Heroquest.

[Pancho]

well. i'm in for the mythic pledge. Just wish they'd re-skin the bard as a dwarf. then he'd be the best thing about Heroquest.

That would be great. They’ve made changes to the Druid in response to nearly unanimous negative feedback, so I don’t know why they haven’t reskinned the bard yet.
As it stands, in the unlikely event that the little twerp ever ends up in my dungeon, every single monster and chaos spell will be headed his way.

Edit; I just remembered, we already know exactly why the orc bard won’t be changed. They are currently writing a quest pack in which one of the central themes will be “orcs as allies”, so the orc bard fits in perfectly with that.

The music brought everyone together. We are the world... we are the children...


You could always throw him in the dryer and hope he shrinks down to Dwarf size, maybe.

Orcs as occasional allies is a rare thing. It's like the Ninja turtles teaming up with Shredder when the chips are down, but after they've stopped the greater threat... all bets are off like last time. I like the idea of the Monster Mercenaries as in the Parley deck ideas. It feels special when these guys you normally are hacking up before they hack you up happen to lend a hand. Maybe that's why they wanted the Orc to be a bard rather than just a straight up fighter (and not make him seem too much like the other fighter characters). But why did he have to be an Orc at all? Just to be different, perhaps... but his songs will bring together the two factions, at least until you run out of change for the juke box...
