A Big ol' Pile of Them Bones!

Get in on Reaper's Bones Kickstarter Before it Ends!

The clock is ticking on a one-of-a-kind deal from Reaper Miniatures—one that any tabletop gamer is not going to want to miss!

Affordable and high quality miniatures from one of the best miniature companies in the biz? Nearly 10,000 backers have said "Yes please!" to one of the biggest game-related Kickstarter projects ever and stomped every stretch goal presented—and then some! Have no idea what I'm giddy about? Let me explain...no, there is too much. Let me sum up. Gamers love their miniatures, and they really like the Bones line of plastic miniatures released by Reaper Miniatures. But Reaper just can't produce them fast enough, and plastic molds are phenomenally more expensive than those old metal molds. So Reaper has turned to Kickstarter to raise the funds for a whole bunch of new plastic molds, and the initial response has been overwhelming!

How overwhelming? Reaper modestly proposed $30,000—enough for thirty new molds to double the available miniatures in the Bones line. Current funding has them at sixty times their goal, and you may ask yourself "Why should I kick my hard-earned gold pieces towards something that's already funded?" Because you're guaranteed to get not just one miniature, or two, or even twenty: we're talking hundreds of miniatures at the Vampire backer level! This is one heckuva opportunity to start your minis collection if you're a new gamer, or round out your collection if you've been gaming long enough to wear your d20 out into a sphere! Even better, Paizo's CEO Lisa Stevens has given her enthusiastic two thumbs up to the Kickstarter project, and now you'll get a chance to have our iconic heroes from the licensed Pathfinder Miniatures included in your backer level (along with a pile of our delightful Goblins)! All of the miniatures that you get are the same great sculpts that you'd expect from Reaper Miniatures, only easier on the wallet!

Check out all of the existing Bones miniatures right here at Paizo.com—and get ready to see a whole lot more of them with the Reaper Bones Kickstarter!

OOOOOOOOoooooh yeahhhhhhhh!
I'm getting a plastic me!

Happy Christmas, EVERYONE!


I've read the entry and clicked on the link with the graphic on Kickstarter and just want to be sure: If I pledge $100 am I getting miniatures or just the opportunity to buy minis at a later date?

If you pledge $100, then when they ship (around next March, since they have to make the molds), you get all the minis that are shown as the Vampire level.


I got in for $100 a way back and I've gone back and added in $50 discretionary - this is the best minis deal ever!


I wonder if Lisa and Vic picked up any of the silver masters that were being offered at the higher pledge levels.

The videos do a good job of explaining the process make sure you watch them.

The basics is if you pledge $100 you can select the Vampire Level Reward, if you want that and some of the addition options then you will need to calculate you pledge based on the Vampire Level + the dollar amount for the option you want. At the end of the Kickstart Reaper with survey you for what you want to spend your money on.

Holy CARP! They just added Frog God Games PDF of Swords & Wizardry to the next stretch goal. (For Vampire & Undertaker levels) Along with 4 Necromancers... hey, wait a minute. I see what they did there. ;)

Yep - I see the info on whats available - just don't see where I can select it after contributing. Too soon?

Yes it is too soon. Check the FAQ on the Kickstarter page. They have said that there will be a survey following the close of the Kickstarter to specify what options you want.

Example:
You want the $100 vampire level plus the $10 Ebonwrath Dragon. Pledge $110 now and choose vampire level. After the close of the Kickstarter get the survey and tell them the what the extra $10 is for.


Here's a calculator for figuring out what you want and how much it'll total:

As much as I love the Reaper Bones Kickstarter, I am now worried about the Gamers: Hands of Fate. They are so close to their goal, but all the gamers are sending their money to Reaper.

It looks like we won't get the third Gamers film.

:(

Increasing a pledge later doesn't help unlock anything.
But it does mean that someone who can only pledge one dollar today can add minis to his pledge later.

I would not rely upon that interpretation of what you thInk will be possible with the pledge manager. If you want, you can take that risk all you like, but enticing others to do something which Reaper has not stated categorically that you will be able to do is not being helpful, rather, it is the opposite of help You do appreciate that, right? I urge others NOT TO RELY UPON THIS VIEW.

This is a quote from reaper bryan:

Bryan Stiltz less than a minute ago
@xxx: I think there's a misunderstanding, and please allow me to clarify:

If you pledged Vampire or Undertaker level, our Pledge Manager will honor all prices precisely as given here, whether you add in the $$ for the rewards before or after the expiration time. Persons who choose to NOT pledge Vampire will have the ability to get some Options listed here as "Vampire Only", but it is THEY who will be given a higher list price.

This is not to punish Vampires who cannot be here for the finale, but to give Non-Vampires a chance, while still making your Vampire pledge the best possible value.

Does that help? If not, I'd be happy to go into greater detail

If you don't trust Reaper to allow it, then I certainly don't recommend availing yourself of it. Kickstarter is not for everyone after all.

What Steel wind is saying is that the increasing from 1 to 100 afterwards probably won't get you the vampire level, as Bryan Is quoted in the one above you, it'll be more expensive to get it in 15 and a half hours. The additional money element is designed to allow you to add more extras, not more levels.

What, that wasn't clear to everyone? I'll have to be more concise in the future.

Only 7 hours left. And just 130k from the 3M mark.


And the $3M reward is... A PDF of a novel by some guy? Laaame.

Nope. I don't tend to go for things like that. I am in for he Vampire level with a ton of add-ons.

Only minutes left to get in on the Kickstarter and help us in our crusade to unlock the Cthulhu addon!

Reaper Kickstarter Update #57 wrote:

Using our post Kickstarter Pledge Manager website (if you pledged you will get a link in you backer survey e-mail later) you can make additions and adjustments (you can't lower your pledge).

We will also post the link as an update to our Kickstarter. It may be two weeks from now so keep checking. We have to get and then assimilate the Kickstarter data.

You can sign up there. You can also use pay-pal too.

If you are signing up new and you don't select the Vampire or Undertaker Level you will have to pay more for options then what they were originally listed at, but they will be available to you. If you did pledge and you didn't pledge Vampire or Undertaker or don't upgrade to one, the same applies.


Well it was a lot of fun taking part in this Kickstarter. 240 miniatures for $100 was an exceptional opportunity.

Now if only I had any skill in painting them...


Wooot! I'm the last mini.

The Exchange

Now that it's over, how do we specify what add-ons we would like....I went Vampire level, pledged $158, and would like to figure out how to let Reaper know what add-ons I want....


They'll send you a survey later once they've worked everything out. It could take a couple of weeks though.

Edit to add: Relevant quote from their FAQ.

Quote:
After the project ends we will send out a survey to all backers. At that time you will be able to select the specific Options you have funded.

Reaper will either send a survey for you to indicate what add-ons you selected, or will have everyone enter their pledge into their own pledge manager interface. They expect to have it ready in two weeks and will post a link to in on the Kickstarter page as well as email it to all backers.

There is a side case of somebody that pledged more that $100 and selected a level other than Vampire in the radio button list. Those people "qualify" for vampire, by virtue of the $$ amount covering it already.

Whether you'll be able to pledge $1 and "buy-up" I cannot say, because I'm not the one writing it, nor am I involved in that decision. like the decision on how to calculate international shipping - I abstained from that, as not my specialty.

I bet the pot would have sweetened if they were Star Wars related and officially licensed ...
