As my first Kickstarter I have now accepted this will be late in its delivery. It will be lucky for Australian and New Zealanders (as the last to have stuff shipped to usually in these things) to receive their pledges by the end of 2016.

I'm purely basing this on the amount that will need to be tooled, which companies are involved in the process and the delay in getting the pledge manager up and running.

But - it does look cool. And in this hobby that means a lot.

^Unfortunately this is (oddly) one of the reasons I enjoy KS.  I forget about them...they're overdue by a year or two and then a huge box shows up on my doorstep etc.  It's like willful suffering... lol

Based on the comments from my wargaming group over the years, you're not the only one.

That happened to me on Zombicide Season 3. I had forgotten about it. And then magically it was there.

The pledge manager (promised at the end of the kickstarter) is still very much not launched. Instead we're being fed wip's of sculpts. There is of course not an issue with the wip pics, but it's starting to look a bit smoke and mirrory.
The Prodos thing is a reference to the ks for AvP.

Imagine the work that lies ahead for these guys to bring this amazing Kickstarter to fruition.

Put the noose away guys and give this goliath time to breath. I think it will be worth your wait.

The update says that they're playtesting all the expansion scenarios and finishing up some more sculpts while also working on the pledge manager. Given the quality of what's been shown so far, I'm happy to wait. I should note that it's nowhere near the longest I've ever waited for a pledge manager!

The Prodos KS was delayed because of the involvement of Fox to sign  off the licensed products.  Sounds like people will be getting that project very soon.

As for Conan.  It's not that long since it ended.  The project massively over funded (and gave them a lot more to do)  I don't really mind waiting a bit longer for a pledge manager.  The end result is all that matters.  I only just got the Dungeon Saga PM and that project finished 6 month s before Conan. 

People on the Internet are not known for their patience but I think in this case with the scale of the undertaking it's pretty much necessary.

Agreed with those calling for patience. This is the nature of kickstarters. We get stuff the designers could never finance otherwise, the trade off is that we have to wait a while for the stuff. I'm happy to make that trade. I have been a part of both Raging Heroes KS's and am still quite happy with the company.

personally happy to wait, I would rather see as many sculpts as possible to know what I want to buy when the pledge manager is released.
