Thankies!

Bloodbrother costs 6 Creature slots, so $36 right now, I expect it to double when it goes to retail.

For All-In I would only suggest if you want 90% or more of all the figs. Otherwise I'd take one of the other 3 pledges and adjust backing accordingly to get what slots and packs you want.

You expect a huge figure to go on retail for 72 usd? An unpainted mini at that? That's an insane price. Huge sized giants and such, even in metal, wouldn't fetch that price. You can get bones mini of that dimension between 20 and 30$. Many of the creatures are overpriced by a long shot, it's the only thing that sucks in the KS right now imo.

(put this together for anyone interested)

Hmm, let's see, going off the price of everything (pricing of each individual slot and pack via the KS page, certain Creatures cost multiple Creature slots),

Nice breakdown. Still debating whether to pull the trigger or not on the ''campaign'' pledge. All-in definitely doesn't seem to be worth it right now, and it's actually a lot of money. The pricing on many creatures seems to be off too (like the Bloodbrother).

Hi everyone, here is my item that I submit for the CMI thread.

My thanks to anyone who takes the time to critique other people's items, it is much appreciated.

Belt of the Depths
Aura Moderate Transmutation; CL 7th
Slot Belt; Price 12,000 gp; Weight 1 lbs.
Description
This masterfully crafted belt emits a strong salty scent and is made of woven algae interlaced with golden merfolk hair. In guise of a buckle rests a large starfish-shaped piece of red coral.

While underwater, the wearer may break off one of the starfish's five limbs as a free action to activate the belt's powers for a period of two hours. At any time, the wearer may break off a second limb to end the effects prematurely. When the belt's powers are activated, the wearer is immediately granted the ability to breathe water as per the Water Breathing spell. One round later, he instantly starts sinking at a speed of 50 ft per round until he lands on a solid surface, such as a sunken ship wreck or the sea floor itself. Once on a solid surface, he is able to move about freely as if he were on land and carrying a light load. He, however, loses the ability to swim. If the wearer has to move over obstacles, he must use climb checks or acrobatics checks, although he ignores his armor check penalty. If he falls any distance, he lands harmlessly without injury. Finally, he may use any weapon without restrictions, ignoring the normal underwater combat penalties.

Like a true starfish, the Belt of the Depths has the ability to regenerate lost limbs, and does so at a rate of one limb per week. However, this regeneration is only possible as long as the starfish has at least one limb left. If all limbs are broken off , the belt loses all powers.

Well put Loradin. Those are basically the points I was trying to make and you took the time to express and develop them properly.

I personally hope that they go back to having judges pick out the winners next time around. I also hope that they leave it to the public to thin out the herd and do progressive culls like they did this time around, until we can get a sample small enough for judges to be able to deal with.

2% of votes for 1 person is enormous Kiel, and since there are more than 1 person who voted 5000+ times, it absolutely has an impact on what ends up in the top32. That being said, congratulations on making in to round 2 and I hope your map design is going well. Good luck for the remainder of the contest.

I think the voting was very strange this year. I like the fact that there were gradual culls to leave us with the best 200 or so items, but I think that at that point it should have been judges who selected the 32 best items.

I think it is weird to leave it to the public vote, especially since people can vote as many times as they like. Some people voted 5000+ times, which gave their opinion a lot more weight than others. The items are then not necessarily the overall voter's choice when you have a few people voting 5000+ times. Their opinion has too much impact on the results.

I guess Paizo is experimenting, but for the credibility of the contest I really think judges should pick the top32. That is not to say that the top32 we ended up with is bad though. I think there are very good entries up there and some personal favorites for sure.
