Wreck Age Launch Kickstarter
« on: 20 August 2012, 10:26:38 PM »
We're gathering up our final resources for a big push to get our game off the ground. We'd love to have your support, and are hoping to really make a go of this.

By january of 2013, we are hoping to have our 300+ page hardcover rulebook done, and 4 boxed sets for our starting factions, with a 5th waiting in the wings for spring.

Thanks!

Oooh, those are great looking, and more poses seen at the KS page.  Will definitely be backing this one.  Looking forward to see this one come to be.

We funded at $5500 and are now entering stretch goals land- here are a few examples:

An extra Staker model at $7,500.
An extra Drifter model at $10,000.
An extra Stitchmen model at $12,500.
An extra Reclaimer model at $15,000.

Thanks to everyone who has checked out the campaign!

This is one of the reasons I don't like this kickstarter.   If you want an extra reclaimer the total has to be 2x what a staker fan needs the total to be.  When you consider that the amount above current levels needed is (2k vice 9.5k) and the difference is huge.

In my opinion having goals at a total pledged which EVERY ONE benefits from makes a LOT more sense.

Every one will get the extra minis, as long as you ordered at least one box set. So if you order a Stitchmen box set, and we make it to $11k, you'll still get the extra Staker and Drifter.

Hrm wish there was a deal like a starter and boxed set....all I see is Stater plus two boxed sets, which is expensive...not sure I can sell the wife on that one.

Looks as if you have to pledge the $70 and the $75 levels.  Makes it a seriously expensive start up  :-[

At that point you have to get both boxed sets and the book option....not real thrilled by that....have to wait and see if I can get some cash together in the next few days...

Hey guys,

If you are looking for something that doesn't have a pledge level, send the Kickstarter a message. We'll work for you if its something we can do :). I don't think we can add many more pledge levels without melting the internet.

IF we could get to 45k (which at this point is very likely a pipe dream), we'd have the funds to give everyone pledging $50 each a mini rulebook, making that the buy in point.

If we don't make that goal, our hope is to eventually do the mini rulebook, and have that at a price point of around $12-15, and our box sets will probably be $60 retail.

Right now, everything depends on how much support we can get through this kickstarter, to help get us off the ground. We're not independently wealthy, and to be perfectly honest, Matt and I are pretty broke at the moment. We've sunk all of the personal money into this project that we're able to.

We're asking for the community to believe in us and our project, because we really have some great ideas, but we just simply don't have the funds to get it off the ground in a way that we'd like (with full support from the get go, and looking to new projects immediately in 2013) without your support.

I'm confused, didn't you guys launch a Kick Starter for this game last year?  It looks about the same merchandise, but with more minis completed.

We funded our initial 11 minis with that kickstarter. What we have up for sale on our site now.
We are doing this one to get our 4 initial box sets done, and hopefully have some extra capitol to do some stuff further stuff that we'd like to do.

Cheers!  So then the book is also written and published?  It looks like one of the pledge levels from the previous KS was to get a book in July 2012.  Is that book published?

It was indeed one of the pledge-levels to get the rulebook, I pledged for that  :D
Looking forward to get it.

Have to say that I also was a little confused because of that regarding the second kickstarter :?
