Will the site on Kickstarter go up before the campaign goes live, so we can be logged in and ready to go?

Yes, this can be helpful.

Our friends Mitch and Jordan at Harebrained Schemes prepared a special video of support for our upcoming Clan Invasion Kickstarter, launching tomorrow!

That's extremely neat.

I remember the "Dirty Filthy Cheating Clanners" Master & Minions battle with Mitch and Jordan a few years ago...Mitch & jordan's Axeman/hatchetman and two other IS mechs versus 4 Nova Cats...so much butt-hurt!

I was fortunate enough to paint Jordan's mini's for that game in Team Banzai colors. I had a nice chat with them during.

Then you remember Jordan falling in a heap at my feet from his Failed DFA and cooking off his ammo with a self-imposed Critical hit.

Well these all look fantastic. I'm realizing I've yet to get any of the new plastic miniatures from the two recent boxes. I'll have to solve that as I wait for a chance to help fund this project.

I'm here for those gorgeous OmniMechs, mainly. Gonna be time for the Smoke Jaguars to ride again.

Thank you for the clarification. I figured it was worth asking. :)

I remember some failure lol. The next year I played him and AJ. My fellow minions softened him up and I was able to head cap his Hellstar.

10 hours to go.

Really hope the current two starter boxes and new map sets are add-ons. :)

BYE

Colt Ward · « **Reply #616 on:** 17 July 2019, 03:18:02 »

Why would they be add ons? You can go buy them right now.

H.B.M.C. · « **Reply #617 on:** 17 July 2019, 03:42:31 »

A lot of Kickstarters put in existing products as add-ons, sometimes things from previous Kickstarters and other times standard products they already sell.

Bundled shipping? Limited run product?

In a case like this one, well people always complain about faction dice being GenCon only, this could be a way around that.

Pros and Cons in this case. While inclusion of existing boxes would help to drive up the pledges (and hence the optics of a successful Kickstarters -- again, pros and cons on that one), the boxes have to come out of stock, which depletes the availability to stores (and hence outreach). Unless intent is to make a special run of the two boxes for this KS.

H.B.M.C. · « **Reply #620 on:** 17 July 2019, 04:30:45 »

Boxes wouldn't need to come from stock as they wouldn't need to ship until everything else is ready. People putting them as add-ons could even help hone in on required numbers. :)

It's no indicator that it will happen this time, but the Sprawl Ops Kickstarter had a selection of Shadowrun rulebooks, board games, and merch as options in the backerkit. This wasn't made known before the backerkit went live. So if it is the case for this campaign, we won'd know for a couple of months.

As as usual, this pose is entirely speculation, and contains no insider information

That's a very funny typo.

What, you don't have a speculative pose?

SCC · « **Reply #624 on:** 17 July 2019, 05:41:23 »

It's more a a pose is a stance, a position, so it kinda fits.
