The selfish part is that anyone from now on who backs at the SQUIRE level (the level needed to actually get the game) or higher and lets them know that I* referred you to the game gets me something extra. More referrals = more extra stuff for me.

I'm a little confused, as I seriously thought about backing this last month and didn't. So is this new project just an upgraded version of the game I would have received if I had kickstarted last month?

This one is to fund the upgrade of components that didn't reach all the stretch goals from the first Kickstarter, however they are also letting you order the game itself (and expansions, if you pledge at the right level). If you had backed the game last month, you would be receiving the game with any upgraded bits that this Kickstarter achieves.

Does that help?

I'm backing Doppleganger: The Universal Game Piece. I think I can get a lot of use out of this in a variety of table-top RPGs particularly and also in various board games.

I'm detecting a trend here... something about small plastic figures.

I'm trying to slow down on my Kickstarter habit, as I'm still waiting on a few big ones (Zpocalypse, where are you?). I also have Agents of Smersh and Sedition Wars that I haven't even had the opportunity to play (I did build and prime all the Biohazard models for Sedition Wars, though).

I did back "Deck of Thieves," which makes me think of something by Small Box Games, and I've been keeping an eye on Compounded and Evil Intent.

Hey! Some of them are metal and quite large!
EDIT: See!

Compounded looks great.

Newly pledged to and should get in May:

Sergeant's Miniatures Game - Red Devils set

The Red Devils set, along with other offerings to go with it will expire tomorrow night. There was a flurry of activity recently to put it over the $80K mark and lot's of extra free stuff due to the higher pledge levels.

The base set @ $90

• 10 pre-painted miniatures and cards for Sergeants and Private soldiers
• 160 coated playing cards
• 6 missions
• 18 tiles for terrain and landmarks, which can make a mapboard 20" by 30" large, or be put together in smaller configurations.
• Rulebook, plastic movement/sighting player aids, and everything you need to get started!
• Red Devils is a "Story," which includes everything you need for a 2-player game. Additional figures can be added to make this a 3 or 4 player game

Extra stuff included in the base set now that won't be in the base set later:

There are like 10 more scenarios/missions. 6 more from one pledge level and 4 more from another pledge level.

8 German and 8 British Equipment cards.

10 Minefield pieces that sit on top of the map tiles and will cause risk to pass through or use specialist to get through safely.

8 Extra cards to one of the British Characters to make him able to be a Combat Engineer. Maybe he can get you through the minefield.

8 Extra cards to a German to make him able to be a Skirmisher like the new Dreher and Maier character cards.

5 Shell hole (craters) that sit on the map and add cover and hinder movement etc.

8 Pieces of rubble that sit on the map and block area and maybe provide cover

2 Guest Star characters that are civilian minis with cards to add to the story deck and they can come up during a cause and effect situation and add to the game story by interacting with the soldiers.

8 extra 5" map tiles and 1 extra 10" landmark with 16 extra story cards. (basically enough to make bigger maps like some found in expansions).

1 British and 1 German Character from the base set will now come with a medal each, upgrading them to better leaders.

Also, at the pledge level I'm at, I'll be getting even more Minefields, Craters and Rubble pieces, as well as the Game Master's Kit which normally sells for $30.

Considering the other Kickstarters I've participated in and have seen, this by far his given the most free good stuff to those with just the base level pledge. Sure it's $90, but that base set without the extra stuff will still cost $90 later, and there is no online retailer that will knock 30% off the price later as happens sometimes with other kickstarter projects.

Zombicide: Season 2 Kickstarter is here! Already over $560K in 18 hours or so. I backed this at the fugitive level because you can never have enough zombies.

Between akden, G-O, and Jbbnsmith, we could arrange for a Kickstarter support group after the next tournament...
