(KICKSTARTER) Deadzone Kickstarter - Funding Successful

[obsidian3d]

I've upped my pledge too, way beyond my initial $250. :S
That scenery just looks too good.

We're now in for silly money to but hey you have to indulge yourselves sometime!

[palaeomerus]

Over a million now. 6 hours to go.

[Giger]

Lots of crazy stuff being added now (mechs, characters etc) can't wait to see where this goes!

[Andrew May]

Over a million is impressive but tbh, I expected this to go higher.....
.....still, anything could occur in the last few hours!

[palaeomerus]

Final tally, just $8,518 short of breaking the $1,225,000 stretch goal for the 5 man, $10, Enforcer Peacekeeper squad (basic not-Termies). Mantic says if they get the difference in post survey pay-pal money they'll go ahead and offer the peacekeepers at $10 via the pledge manager. Not bad!

4,306 backers
$1,216,482 total pledged

And THAT as they say, it that.

I decided to back, primarily for terrain and the Antenociti stuff. If nothing else I can use it for Relic Knights and Infinity.

[Inso]

Well... that went a bit crazy towards the end!

I pledged and am happy that, when the time comes, I won't have a clue what to choose !

Amazon has kindly sent me two notifications of payment... so I may have paid twice. I guess I'll have to do a little investigating.

...and now the waiting begins...

[Conquistador]

I opted out  - decided there were higher priorities (and higher priority gaming stuff) - but it does look like they crashed across the finish line with massive momentum!   

Now you can start wondering where the money for the next KS will come from!    

Gracias,

Glenn

It certainly was a little crazy in the end but very happy that Ronnie will let us get the Peacekeepers if they hit the total come the first survey, overall very happy with how the KS went and what was unlocked.

I went in at the end, with the Recon and some terrain.  The pledge count didn't climb nearly as fast as the pledge dollars, so I suspect there must have been a considerable number like me you put down a minimum pledge in the beginning and didn't set the final number until the end.  Hopefully this campaign doesn't fall victim to it's own success.

The Law of Unintended Consequences?     Ouch, let us hope not!

What do you mean? Mantic seems to have been doing a good job delivering with Dreadball. I don't know if this one is much more complicated...although they did raise more money.

I was thinking more like Sedition Wars than Dreadball.  Mike McVey has stated on threads on the Sedition Wars forum that the  huge success of the Kickstarter lead to some of the problems with the final product.  Granted Mantic has larger capacity than either McVey Studios or CMON, but they are also working through multiple campaigns simultaneously.  I'm not saying they can't pull it off, but I worry nonetheless.

It seems a large portion of Sedition Wars complaints have to do with the material the figures are cast in, and the rules.   I'm not sure either of those issues have anything to do with how successful the project was on Kickstarter.
