I'm now in!

And as I type this, it hit 100k! I think there's some excitement about this.

I'm curious about one thing. How do the addons work?

That Star Colonel sounds tempting, even if it meant another of the Morris bloodline met a bloody end. :-)

I'd need more OT for that though.

At this stage I'm hoping a stretch goal is more elementals in the base box.

Okay, so I am new to this and some of the wording . . .

I grabbed a Star Colonel, so I know that means I will get the Clan box, coin and faction pack . . . then it says 2 Star/Lance packs, but says double too.  Does that mean I get to pick two star packs and then I will get two of each, or does it already include that line?

The dice and lance/star packs in the add-on area have the locked symbols over them.

 . . . holy crap, only 1 Kerensky left?!

I'm proud of the community for meeting the goals.  I think that with so many of us working (and some of us multiple jobs) has the added benefit of allowing us to contribute to a kickstarter. 

Thank you to everyone!

i want to go at the base level to get the box and a-la-carte everything afterwords but i am also *extremely* tempted by the vanity option of a canon character

I thought the only limited one was The Full Kerensky. Everything else looks unlimited as far as I can tell.

My understanding is that you will get to pick two and those two will be doubled. Probably done just in case the other box(es?) later in the stretch goals don't get unlocked, since there were two that were shown for sure.

Yeah, I don;t see that Star Col. is limitd either -- which is a good thing, because depending on how my finances are by the end of the Kickstarter, I might go up from Bloodnamed for the 10x Classics and a chance to get a pilot canonized :)

From the Kickstarter:

Quote
DOUBLE FORCES: for every Star Pack or Lance Pack you select as a reward, we will send you a second copy of that item! (Clan Invasion box and add-on purchases do not double.)

If I'm reading it right it doubles the pledge reward, so 2x Star/Lance Packs becomes 4. Add-ons do not double though, only the pledge number. The double forces info is listed in the Bloodnamed pledge.

Hmmm....I guess it is unlimited when I looked it was the level I backed, not in the lower list, and was sitting at a nice round 60-backers.
