If you needed to get absolutely everything. I have found there are quite a few add-ons that don't appeal.

Doctor Jest

Quote from: CRKrueger;814212The key to this one is don't get any add-ons that also have a retail price, they're going to be available later, just get the exclusives.

I think the key to this one is sell your first born child to a magic gnome who will spin your credit card into gold.

Even the the "cutting edge" storygamers for all their talk of narrative, plot, and drama are fucking obsessed with the god damned rules they use. - Estar

Yes, Sean Connery\'s thumb does indeed do megadamage. - Spinachcat

Isuldur is a badass because he stopped Sauron with a broken sword, but Iluvatar is the badass because he stopped Sauron with a hobbit. -Malleus Arianorum

"Tangency Edition" D&D would have no classes or races, but 17 genders to choose from. -TristramEvans

This is now the second biggest tabletop board game KS of all time, with only Zombicide Season 3 to beat.

Broke down and pledged for the game after I heard about the new rpg coming this year. Doesn't hurt that my gaming group has gotten back together for D&D and board games.

This thing might make more money than the 2011 movie did. :D

Buy the $135 King Pledge and go for the Exclusives.

The Add-On boxes are nice, but $5 off retail seems to be the going rate and you can usually do better than that once the actual game hits shelves.

I am getting the Campaign Book because its got a load of additional scenarios that use the King Pledge box, and the scenarios connect into a story which sounds fun.

If the game is as good as it looks, I can see myself buying the Nordheim, Khitai and Stygia boxes eventually.

Skywalker

Given I live in New Zealand, adding the expansions to my pledge actually ends up being a good deal as shipping tapers out (and they will arrive months before retail according to Monolith).

Skywalker

My haul so far is King pledge + 3 expansions + campaign book + sabre-tooth tiger + Baal Pteor + Black Dragons + Valeria/Salome box + Black Ones + Kushite Witch Hunters + Vanir Valkyrie.

Skywalker

Over $3.2 million raised. Congrats.

Endless Flight

It looks great and I'm a huge Conan fan but I'm too cheap to spend $100+ on a board game.

Hope they sell a ton of them!

That's fair, though the base set (with all the SGs) was $90 (excl shipping) :)

I have been lean on my board game purchases over the last two years and have never participated in a "nova" KS like Bones before. I really like the Euro style central mechanic mixed with Ameritrash goodness on top.

Starglyte

Once they open up the pledges again for shipping and add-ons, I bet they will get even more money.

Spinachcat

Agreed. I will be taking another look at the Exclusives when the pledge manager shows up. I expect they will get +10% more cash which is why they felt comfortable with the big giveaways of the custom box and the iSkelos app.

Spinachcat

The Pledge Manager is open!

If you missed the KS, you can jump in now.

QUESTION!!!!

Which of the Add-Ons and Exclusives do you think are the highest priority??

My guess is the Campaign/Artbook, but what else?
