I know there was a bit of interest about this, so here's a reminder that it closes in a few hours. I backed with two separate accounts (for a total of $650, 120 sets) to get two sets of stretch goals.
There were a couple of sets unlocked through polling that made me salty (baby monsters, really?), but overall these minis are great. I'm looking forward to their subscription service to fill in the remaining, major holes in mini coverage.

Lords of Hellas successor. I’m not into it but I like the company. They make interesting games and have cool designs for minis.

I remember as a kid my dad was telling me about a dnd campaign where they were hunting down some rat people in the sewers. They came across a rat baby in a crib, one guy was holding it by the scruff of its neck while the party was discussing what to do with it, feed it, take it back to town, etc when one guy walked up and baseball swung a club or mace and rolled a crit which made it explode. Covering the dude holding it in its remains. The guy said they were wasting time, let’s move on.
Anyways there could be a use for baby monsters.

Just backed. I would have much rather had a season 3 instead of Marvel characters, not really a fan of the clashing themes. I like their original characters.
This was confirmed that it will work with the first two seasons and my kid will love it so oh well. Having 24 characters to choose from will be pretty sweet.

Agreed. I can't really fault them for doing this, as it's obviously a license to print money, but I too would have preferred more content not tied to existing IP's like Marvel.
Would not be surprised at all to see other IP's used in the future, and all intermixable. These guys might have lucked into something with some serious legs.

So this ended and they got to $2.1m. Season 2 did $700k, season 1 remake + adventures did $1.7m. I bet they would have hit $2.1m even without the Marvel license. Most campaigns of companies with a successful line continue to grow each one, especially with one like this where the word of mouth is overwhelmingly positive.
The mechanics on some of these new heroes looks cool, just wish it was season 3! Also I hate the rainbow hero trays. Makes my eyes bleed.

I backed this Kickstarter months ago. It had a relatively humble performance, only getting ~$50k in support, but I've been following the updates and it seems like an incredible campaign. They originally aimed for it to be ~300 pages, but it has blossomed to over 900 pages.
I think it might be the first pre-written campaign I run if the writing is as good as the samples I've seen.

Did anyone by chance pick up a spare Blood Rage Viking pledge from the last Kickstarter? I would be interested in purchasing it. Let me know.

Yeah, I played Black Plague with my dad a bunch. We enjoyed it, the custom campaign we played had some cool stuff in it that made it more interested than the base game. Paint jobs on them was fun too. With that said it’s pretty basic and repetitive.
I mean, it does look kind of interesting but holy fuck those pledge levels are insane. To me the big galactic expansion could be a pass but the first two, hero and zombie seems like a requirement if you decided to go in on this at all. So $240 + $80 for single wave shipping. $320 for just this game? Hard pass for me. However, I must be in the minority because it's over 4 million at the moment.
