I was thinking it looked like it would steady off at ~$40K a day, but down to ~$20K? We'll for sure hit the Baker Quest Pack goal, but I don't know how much beyond that...

We can probably kiss any of those $3MM plus goals goodbye

It sucks, because like others said, if this were worldwide, we'd probably hit $4mm in less than a day.

I have to imagine there's some kind of legal reason behind why they're not doing so. OR, their crowdfunding can be US and CAN only, but a retail release is worldwide. I dunno. I don't know why they won't address it.

How cool would it be if there was an exclusive EU fundraiser that would support the release of "Wizards of Mentor" I mean "Morcar"? We can dream.

It looks like we'll probably hit that 2 million goal by Nov 6th after all, I'm sorry I doubted!

Are you listening Hasbro? This is what we need... preferably cast in plastic colors, but if not, then with colored primer:

Furniture = Gray (Tomb, Sorceror's Table, Doors) or Brown (Treasure Chests, Torture Rack, Weapons Rack, Tables, Throne, Fireplace, Cupboard, Bookcases).
Reinforced Door and Iron Door could both be gray, or make Reinforced Door brown (since it was supposed to be wood originally)

Heroes = Red (if they want to get nostalgic, female Barbarian and female Elf should be blue, maybe all the females could be blue?)

Monsters:
Orcs, "Abominations," Goblins = Green (including the "Extra" Goblins)

(Undead) Mummies, Zombies, Skeletons = Bone White (including the "Extra" Skeletons)

(Other) "Dread Warriors," "Dread Sorceror," Gargoyle, "Witch Lord," "Sir Ragnar" = Grey

Warlock Hero would be red. I guess Zargon (fake Mentor) would be Red.
If they want to get crazy, like Quest Pack crazy, these could be blue.


Color coding to make it less boring, and for those who won't be painting their set (or at least not right away before play).

They have #HeroQuestUnlocks so I’m assuming it will count toward the total.

It looks like they must have at least some of the models in physical form. Just noticed a post on the new HeroQuest web page about painting the dungeon.

That is totally not fair. It says the article date is 9/22 but I've been checking that page since the start of this campaign but hadn't seen it until you pointed it out.

Also, I hope this doesn't mean the minis will be made all in gray and almost forcing us to become mini painters... Now I'm worried again.

Unfortunately there aren't any images of the mini's before paint. Maybe we'll see some in the coming weeks. That might not tell us much though, the pieces that are being painted right now may be just test prints or casts, so they might not be made out of the same material that we'll be getting in the final product.
