I have now pledged! The big undead hydra tipped me over the edge. (although really it's a gift for my 20th. )

Next update is something big apparently, although many people seem to think it's doors .
never trust a horse, they make a commitment to shoes that no animal should make.

The only expansion I'd consider at this point is the Abyssal, but it's hard to judge with no models.  I don't have any demons/fiery hell things for my current dungeon collection.  We'll see...maybe I'll add a little bit.  I am very happy with the boxed content at the moment, and I'm glad to see my guess has been blasted into oblivion.

PS: I think Mantic should stay on top of the main image (it's what everyone jumps to when viewing a Kickstarter).  Currently the $100 pledge includes a good bit more than is pictured...with only a few hours to go I think they should be on it every minute --- keeping the picture updated.  Most people won't look through all of the updates to compare and see what they get for $100.

I see the total is rocketing upwards at the moment. Looks certain the 3D doors will make it in.

As I want the hardback book (I'm a sucker for that sort of thing) Ive decided to pledge for just over the 200 dollars, get both expansions, one of the tile sets-which now includes extra furniture and doors, and a couple of he fancy resin tokens. It's a whole heap of stuff for the money.

As ive said preciously I have faith in Jake to deliver a fun game.  Roll on August 2015!

Hardback book is tempting, but since i'm not paying for this i can't really bundle extras in.
I am going to add a hard copy of the choose your own adventure book as an add on tho, can't miss out on that.

Your right with that. They should have the images prepared in advance so they can be put up nice and quickly.

Last 10 hours now and up the the $925k stretch goal: add on expansion pack for a Dragon encounter. Don't think there is any doubt it will be reached given the way the thing is growing currently.



So for anyone wanting this as the boardgame (ie without any of the optional add ons) the pledge has rounded out to $200:
Core and Advanced game box (including the 3d scenery)
Orc/Goblin expansion (inc new tiles)
Abyssal/Demon expansion (inc new tiles)
Dragon expansion (inc new tiles and 3d scenery)
Black Fortress expansion (new tile set and 3d scenery)
Hardback rulebook (free for a pledge of $200 or more)

That is a pretty sweet haul, considering how light it looked at the beginning it has filled out extremely well.

Its at $850k already - after adding £90k+ yesterday.

I'm trying to work out what I want / need. I had already added the Orc and Abyssal expansion, and resin counters/bones, so about $160

The dragon has to be added. I was thinking about the extra tile set (Black Fortress) but then thought that would need the KoW figure set (with Abyssal Dwarfs, Golems and Gargoyles) - these would also give me some new types of 28mm figures. But that's now about $240 which is about £145 which seems a bit much for one game.

Just over $890k now

I cut back my pledge on the KS to the 2 original expansions to add the main game next month and consider other bits (hardback rulebook beckons) in October.
Assuming the Pledge manager runs like previous Mantic ones you will get a couple of months at least to spread the cost.

As is the extra campaign book for the new Black Fortress expansion, the KS is running at about $1200 per minute at the moment.

Yep, gaining lots of speed.  I'm tempted by the Dragon expansion, but mainly because it adds more doors and more furniture...and yeah I wouldn't mind a dragon.  I may grab that instead of the Abyssal.

I'll probably wait until the pledge manager for add ons. Want to get the Herey kickstarter stuff too you see.

Well done everyone.
