This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I got the shipping confirmation email on Thursday of my Bones Vampire level rewards on its way and I have been watching the tracking at UPS like a kid watching Santa Claus on NORAD's Christmas Feed. It should be arriving on Monday!

Anybody else hear about their Bones Kickstarter progress or have recieved it yet?

I don't expect to hear on mine until after Reapercon.  I'm at Vamp + 5 addons.

Caesar Slaad

Yeah, I have Vamp + a scad (13) of add ons. Want it soon, but not exactly holding my breath.

Running: Pathfinder Scarred Lands, Mutants & Masterminds, Masks, Starfinder, Bulldogs!
Playing: Sigh. Nothing.
Planning: Some Cyberpunk thing, system TBD.

Teazia

Some folks on DF have them already.  I won't be until the end of the mailings- international with double vamp plus addons and a change of order.

More unboxing pics as time allows.

Wow, that looks like a lot. How much did you invest?
Furthermore, I consider that  This is Why We Don\'t Like You thread should be closed

Just $100 for Vampire level.

I'd say that I've gotten at least $300 worth of miniatures. Well worth the investment.

Got mine late last week and I've been very happy with them so far.

They are a little light, even versus other plastics, so I might base mine on washers to give them some heft.

Also, I didn't realize until they arrived that they don't need to be primed. Which I was doubtful about until I read some reviews of the Bones line and they confirmed it.

Looking at them up close, it's clear that the plastic they've used is better when used on the larger models. The smaller ones can lose a bit of detail here and there, and there are some gaps that must be filled on a couple of the models.

But overall, I'm extremely happy with the investment.

And while my phone is an important tool for my daily life, it is not a life-saving device that KEEPS MY HEART FROM EXPLODING. Fuck, Tony. Get your shit together, pal."

Sweet. I'm still waiting for my package. I don't think I received a mailing invoice yet, now that I think about it... :(

Check the email you gave Kickstarter. Mine was shipped UPS and had a tracking number, I don't know what they will use for shipping in Canada.

Just remember to wash them in warm soapy water and scub them a bit then allow them to dry before painting. Some models may have the mold release chemical on them which causes paint to slide right off.
