Stretch Goal that were never made was: A Naked

saved.
For an overall view of the Dungeon Master pledge
level at the end of the KickStarter please check the photo. Last week I up my
backing to include the resin version of Tyrant King Blaine so that I have all
the different version of him.
Next is the Battle System news. With their Fantasy Dungeon
Terrain KickStarter the Stretch Goals that they managed to unlock since last
week’s post were: Six square long Walkway, a four square long Walkway, two sets
of two different Balustrades, a Tomb, a Table, two Torches, a Barrel, a
Bookcase, a Double Door Way with Portcullis and three Struts were added to the
Dungeon pledge level; the
Stretch Goal that was still going when I posted this
post were: The Great hall set and the Great Hall Extended set as an add-ons at
£94k; and three Pairs of Converters, a Walkway, two Balustrades and two
Gargoyles on plinths will be added to the Dungeon pledge level at a unknown
amount.
The Sci-fi Modular Terrain, the USA backer rewards
have been delayed due to paperwork problem which they are trying to fix. There
is a chance that they will be on their way when this is posted.
Now for the Crooked Dice Games news. The
Next is the Stonehaven Miniatures news. They have
decided to not do stretch goals anymore with their Half-Orc Adventurers
KickStarter. Instead they will be adding a new figure every day. Due to
problems with posting updates on Sundays, there will be no figure on that day.
Instead there will be a double bill on ever Saturday or Monday. The characters
we got since the last post were: The Half-Orc Mechanist, the Tengu Mage, the
Half-Dragon Rogue, the Half-Orc Gladiator, the Urmahlullu Druid and the Half-Orc
Cleric.
I will probably go for the Tengus for the Power
Rangers link and the Half-Orc Mechanist.
Now for the Dust: Operation Babylon news. The pledge
manager is finally out, but it may take time getting to people. I only just got
my e-mail now.
Next is the Journey: Wrath of Daemons news. We got a
ton of mass production pictures of the figures from the main box game.
Now for the Demigods Rising news. I wanted to talk
about the KickStarter last week post, but due to work and a busy week I did not
get the time to write much. Like I said last week, this is a KickStarter I
sadly never reported on when it was going and had ended last week. I decided to
back it at the last moment. The figures look a little odd but “F”ing fantast.
The oddness makes them fantastic. The game play that I have seen so far looks
great, however I have not seen how minions or the Demigod Cards will work like.
Over the time of the KickStarter they have unlocked nine new heroes (two copies
of each have been added to the main pledge level), a ton of new Demigod Items,
special Demigod dice, a bunch of new Obstacles and new gameboard titles based
on each of the four Demigods. They made $153,915 with 1,355 backers. New news
from this week was that a basic pledge manager has been sent to backers. This
is just so that they have contact details and an idea of what people are after
in extra so that they can plan ahead.
Next is the HeroClix news. After a long time WizKids
are back doing previews after miss both the comic book and movie versions of
the Guardians of the Galaxy sets. First was 2014 Monthly Organized Play figure
of Angle and then there was Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon from Yu-Gi-Oh Series Two.
Yes that is right, they are releasing a second set of Yu-Gi-Oh HeroClix. The
Also revealed that in February 2015 there will be a new DC set called Comics
Trinity War.
Now for the Ninja Division news. They have sent out
invoices for postage for Arcadia Quest. It ended up costing me an extra £15.
Next is the Cool Mini or Not news. There is a now
mission up on the Zombicide website called Coup De Grâce.
