Well, I checked in last night before bed for some chatter, usual cool spread of comments, but nothing out of the ordinary...and then when I wake up and check in this morning -> WOW!!! What a fantastic announcement!!! This really is an awesome direction to take and I will absolutely be throwing a ton of cash at this Kickstarter :)
Thanks for tackling head-on the fear/anxiety/stress that all IP owners must feel when pulling the trigger on something like this. A range of high quality plastic Mechs, particularly set in the Clan Invasion era, is a dream come true for me. I bought 2 x Beginners Box Sets and 2 x AGoAC Box Sets and I can guarantee I'll be buying a lot more of the Clan Invasion era stuff from this Kickstarter to be painted up as Ghost Bears and Wolves...and I also look forward to expanding on the IS Mechs I already have from the above mentioned box sets.
Thanks also for the free Chaos Campaign Succession Wars PDF, much appreciated :)
I'm really super-excited for this Kickstarter!
It’s come up. There’s some possibilities there, but in my opinion only, I think doing it right takes a level of social media complexity and awareness we’re not well-positioned for.
You can simply design this as a separate stretch goal to be released (It is common among Kickstarter campaigns so I assume Kickstarter has the capability to include this in the back-end during construction of the Kickstarter Campaign page???)...so instead of reaching a certain financial goal, you can have this particular stretch goal released by achieving the sharing of the Kickstarter on certain platforms...example, 500 Facebooks Shares, 500 Twitters Shares and 300 BGG Likes...or something similar...the only problem I have with these types of goals, is that I have a dislike of spam-flooding (even if it is super-cool spam like this) friends Facebook feeds (I'm not on Twitter)...but not everyone feels that way, so they are still good stretch goals to have as they create awareness of the Kickstarter.
Yeah, definitely love to see Elementals in this Kickstarter, they are very much a part of the Clan Invasion. IS Power Armour would also be cool, and although they were not a part of the Clan Invasion itself, it wasn't too far afterwards before they started appearing, so would be cool to include, if possible.
I also love that the main push of the Kickstarer is themed, and has a Star/Lance pack set-up. If at any stage during the Kickstarter it becomes possible to add Mechs as singles, that would also be a very nice way for people to get multiples of their favourite Mechs. I realise this may not be possible due to the manufacturing set-up, specifically if the injections molds are set up to cast several different types of Mechs at once or if the molds are set-up to create several of the same type of Mech at once...if the latter, then this would be a good way to allow people to get multiples of a favourite Mech/Mechs, and it would also probably drag a little more cash into the Kickstarter.
