    Sedition Wars: Battle for Alabaster Kickstarter

    Been keeping an eye on this for awhile, but I was shocked to hear that not only will the gorgeous models be plastic, but you'll get 50 of them too. The board looks rather plain, but that's not too much of an issue while the game iteslf sounds interesting. Honestly, I'd support this purely because it's Studio Mcvey =D

    A little sad this has come so soon after Zombiecide, as I think it looks good.

    Might be a last minute pledge for me if the stretch goals remain as good as they have been so far.

    Yeah, not sure why all the Kickstarters are happening roughly at the same time, since that only weakens them.

    I haven't ever made a pledge to anything before, not sure if I'll do so for this, but will definitely buy it when it's released.

    Though have to say I'm fascinated with how these comapnies create their Kickstarters and sell the game, the videos particularly are interesting to watch (did spot some jerky moverment though).

    I haven't liked the other recent gaming kickstarters, but Studio McVey is pretty classy, I'll almost certainly buy in to this one.

    I'm going to wait it out longer, but more because I gave Relics a pledge (7 hours left) and I need to wait for more funds, but I'm sure I'll go Biohazard eventually.

    Also pledged at the $100 level on the first day, since I missed Zombicide pledge by a day, and am kicking myself over that. Kind of thrilled how well it is doing and that I am now getting far more with the box than I originally bargained for.

    I do agree it is a lot all at once though, especially since those two are both in partnership with CMON...They are going to have an insane GenCon (Sedition Wars, Relic Knights, new release of Super Dungeon Explore, Zombicide, Dark Age, relaunch of Confrontation, and Wrath of Kings). My unpainted model count is going to explode. I was so close to having everything done.

    Ya, unpainted models.... I too was close to done...
    thankfully i can say that my puppet wars will be done this weekend, and my Hordes croclegators will be done probably in two weeks. I should have my relic knights done by gencon ( all three of them...), my rusted heroes are done too . So then all i will have to do is sell my dreadfleet (jk) and paint the darksword minis I have (pay no attention to those other warmachine models or my MERCS squad...)

    Well, I couldn't hold off for very long, especially with no chance of being hit by customs.

    As a few others have said I'm not sure how I'm going to get everything painted between this and Zombicide...

    Ok Ok I pledged!

    ARE YOU HAPPY NOW!

    *collapses in tears*

    The... the.. baby drones...adorable-wah...

    Ahem. But yes, pledged $175 getting me Biohazard plus Terrain, Ridley, Banks and shipping. At first I wasn't going to do it, because money's tight, then I was debating whether to do it next week or not. Then I did it =P

    Needless to say this thing has to explode in the next few days for it to raise what it deserves and for me- I mean WE to get more goodies =D

    Let's hope Puppet Wars is as cheap as Wyrd say, coz I know I ain't resisting those adorable dolls of death =D
