Conan [Monolith Boardgame] - KS over and funded

[Braxandur]

I'm not surprised with the delay. A lot of companies are struggling to get ks ready at their eta. But still it is only an estimated time of arrival based on the knowledge that the creators have at the time of the kickstarter.

A lot of things can go wrong and a project can grow beyond the capacity of the creators if it is very successful.  I rather have the company take more time to get everything right instead of releasing a product that is badly put together.

I also think that the guys at monolith are not overjoyed.  Every delay does cost the company money as well, as staff needs to be payed even though the product is not yet bringing in money.

In the end,  I'd rather also already have received the game, but I can live with the delay.

I received the email as well.  Sadly with a couple of other KS I am waiting on, at least this email contained information about shipping.  That's a start.

Yeah, the backlog is getting bigger and bigger on expected Kickstarters over here. I understand their reasons, no problem with that, but it might be wise that KS-people start to look for production centers outside China, since I don't see it getting better the next couple of years.
Maybe the Ukraine, the EU has to send loads and loads of money over there, so why not spend it on somehing useful  .

Ukraine, I like that idea, I could pick up my stuff in person and my relatives would be happy for the work. Plus they have some great figure painters there. One quibble, it's just Ukraine. The the is only for Risk, and apparently my mother.

Regardless the reasons,

they (Monolith or whichever) are mostly clear  in their communications, and continue to be it seems - good or bad, they do tell backers stuff, consistently and regularly.

In comparison to some on-going issues elsewhere, which I am glad I am not a backer of, and sad for those that are, I am still confident of actually getting something from Monolith..

Eventually 

Might have forgotten about it by then though...

I am worried about reaching old aged before I get it

[von Lucky]

All these lamentations - we'll get it when we're ready.

Well on the way to getting there regardless so it is no problem for me  - Still confident we will get our stuff, and maybe even this year.

Got plenty to keep me busy before hand as well so much rather they got it done right and send a little late...

Not sure...More pics in the KS update

So photos are all very well and good but where does this leave us? Well, I’m happy to report that we are on track for the October delivery date!

We’ll be receiving more and more production samples in the coming weeks and we’ll be sure to share them with you as we receive them!

[Elbows]

While it's been a little slow, communication has been excellent and we're at least getting product.  I can't say as much for some of the AVP folks or the silly folks like me who backed the 25th ed. Hero Quest etc.  I'll take slow and steady with good communication.  Anyone anxious about the date shipping is maybe not overly familiar with the normal time frame for the big budget games like this.

Pretty on-par.

[barbaric splendor]

Product looks great and I am glad to hear its on target for October! I have waited almost my entire life for this very game, so very excited for it!

[pelonas]

These minis look great - does anyone know if they'll retail after the kickstarter?

[von Lucky]

Yes. The the Kickstarter exclusives obviously not (well, not likely); including the "King" pledge.
