Anytime now, just waiting for KS to hit the go button.

I got no use for the Dwarven Forge, baby, but I sure do got a use for you. I have a brilliant idea for new pieces for this--stretch goals--if you will. So, you know how the Elf Quest Pack comes with four little dropped bundles of equipment to indicate where it has been dropped post-lycanthropy? I also use those to indicate a dead Hero's dropped stuff for the benefit of the other players. I think a set of those four would be simply outstanding. Also, the magical mirror from that same set would be charming.

Yea that's a neat idea, can add those along with the hero's bedding which is on the cards! Actually had a demon mirror sculpt somewhere :O Forgot about that.

Anyone here opened a thread on Dakka or Reaper forums about this KS?

Because, y'know... money.

Dont think so. So many forums i never knew existed until a week ago with people opening threads!

Thantos, I like the weapon rack! The pricing thing is what it is. If I were to price this stuff out from Thormarillion or wherever, it would be more.. you're right there. I imagine retail will be higher still, so yeah, I will be putting as much as I can into this. I was just saying that those specific dollars might not go as far as I had hoped. None of that changes the fact that I'm stoked about this though

Thanks 4tonmantis The sculpt should be very true to the concept too.
Yea retail prices post-KS will be higher, in line with the dungeon stuff in the store.

On the plus side, the dollar has quite a good exchange rate now

I can't decide what I'm going to do...
The Dungeon Critter and 35 extra gold or just 70 gold... either way I'm more than likely in for $100+.

Yea, but you can always change it later on so no pressure to pick at the start. Benefit is Dungeon critter gets free Tier 1 stretch goals added in.

Any idea what time this is going live?

Anytime now, just waiting for KS to hit the go button.

You bet!
2 days to approve a project, ay kickstarter? So bring on the 7th day...


Will be running a few mini-competitions for free or exclusive stuff here and on FB, things like a short fiction competition, "show your best painted adventurer" competition. Things that help engage the dungeon crawling community
Since it strikes me that this kind of event is an opportunity not to be missed, to bring together more dungeon crawler enthusiasts, and not just about how much gold and silver you have

[Bouncing Orbs]

That's just agonising!!!

Cool
The hero painting competition: Will it need to be Heroquest? I have a set (more or less) but I also got a bunch of Reaper minis I use since they're more modern sculpts with a bit finer detail.

This project needs to go live already

Considering where this thread is hosted I think a Heroquest game series figure for the painting competition would be appropriate. Not the greatest of figures certainly, but a definite challenge.

Been looking through the icons here for an "impatient finger tapping" smilie .............

I don't follow that logic. This isn't an official site and there are tons of fan-made content here and even official content that uses non-standard figures. For example, the Dwarven Berserker (think that's what he's called). There's the Sir Ragnar stuff, and on and on. The thread is here and the concept is obviously to provide furniture for HQ.. but the spirit of the kickstarter is to provide more modern amenities than what the box shipped with.. which is the same thing I'm suggesting with figures from the likes of Reaper. Moreover, the originals are fairly hard to come by, especially since the idea behind the contest is that it's not just about $$. It's a lot easier for many people to pick up a $8 Reaper, Heresy, Hasslefree, etc. miniature than it is to run down the classics. The contest is ran by Zealot minis to boot.. and they offer alternatives for a few of the box heroes on their store too, so there's that.

Not trying to argue, just presenting reasoning as to why allowing other figures than the classic box heroes would make sense.

Aye :/ That it is. If they havent got back by like 2am today ill send them a stern email, that always does the trick

Yea, we do love those classic HQ minis! But we do indeed have a lot of other dungeon themed minis posted on here also. Since a lot of backers are after this scenery for D+D or other games aside from HQ, it would be unfair to alienate them. So will be open to all dungeon fantasy themed minis
Even though TwistingCatacomb's fantasy style is heavily inspired by HQ The aim is to provide scenery suitable for other games along with HQ too.

That said, the vote to pick the best ones will take place here by fellow Ye Olde Inn members, so there may be a better chance for HQ themed stuff to get more votes, lol

I need an "expectantly pacing" smiley

oh Gods now I need to get painting again. Not that that's a bad thing, but I just lack the time
I really do need to paint more though...

In fact you already opened a thread on Dakka back in August:

It does not seem to have attracted much attention, though.

I just posted at Old Scratch with links to your pages. Wouldn't want to miss anybody that doesn't lurk here. I don't believe I'm registered at the D&D forums, but that would be a good place to post, as well. Torilen?
