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.

Me too.  With the last reward at 3.430,000, it sure was odd to see the pledge amount continue to decrease and then a final 503 error

But did just get this email:

 Project Update #56: C'THULHU ACHIEVED!
Posted by Reaper Miniatures Like

WE DID IT!!

OFFICIALLY The #3 KICKSTARTER OF ALL TIME!!

You guys have been absolutely AMAZING!! This has been the most incredible Ride!
D&D is not an "everyone gets a ribbon" game.  If you\'re stupid, your PC will die.  If you\'re an asshole, your PC will die (probably from the other PCs).  If you\'re unlucky, your PC may die.  Point?  PC\'s die.  Get over it and roll up a new one.

I assume it will happen, people tried to fund it at the last minute, the KS site got overloaded...the wailing and gnashing of teeth will be heard.

I just couldn't bring myself to do it at this time, as much as I wanted to.  But, thanks to everyone who did support them, when the new figs hit the stores, I will have an even better selection to choose from when I get off my lazy ass and start painting again.  :)

I like my Polly-S, but they are hard to come by these days.  Anyone want to recommend a good acrylic paint?

I find the mindset behind the late bidders to be a bit of a mystery.

I found out about the offering rather early, being a long time direct customer of theirs (at one time we even had one of their employees in our gaming group) I was on their mailing list.

I wasn't thrilled with plastics (I like the feel of metal a lot more), and I would have little use for many of the individual figures in the set. So I watched it for a few days until it hit 100 figures for $100 and decided that's a good enough price return- I'm in. That happened at around the $250K level.

So with where I was coming from, I don't understand why people waited until the last minute for this. Was getting Cthulhu really a make or break item?

Probably not, but I bet a lot of people wanted to increase their pledges by the appropriate amount so they could get him.
