I'm not. More people have seen Ghostbusters, GI Joe, Transformers, etc... than have ever played or will ever play Heroscape.

I think if the campaign is at 5k with a week to go, there’s a real shot. Why? Because there are at least 1k backers crazy enough to add 3 more sets each to drag this thing across the line… all logical thought will go out the window the final 48 hours and desperation will kick in *goes back to corner and continues rocking back and forth*

Yeah, 5k with a week left sounds about right. Hopefully it finds its way over 3k this week.

Not to burst bubbles, but it is trending towards about 4.3k with a week left. 300 over 5 or 6 days feels doable, but I'm not totally sure, in stark contrast to the first week.

Like most other crowdfunding projects, there will be a surge of optimism at the beginning of funding. The problem is that in this case, the managers of the project forgot to do most of the work BEFORE funding began, meaning that it's come too late to convince those who saw the project at the very beginning, deemed that they weren't interested in it, and have now moved on to other things.

As you've alluded to, if current rates continue then it won't even reach 4000 backers by the mid-way point. Last minute optimism would need to be incredibly strong for this project to fund.

We are currently at 33% as of 3pm CST today

I don't see anything updated on haslab campaign page as of yet.

I assume we'll hear about it when they do. As I'm wont to saying, I don't consider the campaign to have begun yet until they make new player friendly updates. It's just a question of whether those updates will have missed the window for attracting those players or not when they do come.

Maybe they're using West Coast time, the work day isn't over there yet.

Where did the belief that they'd update the page today come from?

From the ‘no posting’ thread. Though I can’t find why it was thought to be today

We are sharing updates as they happen to keep y'all up to date as early as possible.

That might be my fault. I swear I read something along the lines of they were working out some last minute editing yesterday and would post today. Don't remember which of the like three or four threads I thought I read it.

It didn't make its way into the news thread, here was the specific quote

On Friday he had us thinking it would go up on Monday.

Must be held up in QA, maybe it's a big update somehow.
