Update #52

[Old Dwarf]

Well this is a lot to digest and I have mixed feelings.

Wave 2 is obviously going to at least a year away now that
Wave 1.5 has an October projection.

New Cards are being added to the Retail Expansions but KS
backers who have already paid for these Expansions will
need to fork over more $ for them (if they figure out how
to do this WTF ).

Some of the stretch goal & add-on Card Packs you can
order now from the FFP Store-if they were part of your Pledge
their cost is just shipping otherwise their $10+shipping.

The new factory & greater detail figures makes me worried
about Scale, I have enough examples of Expansion Miniatures
being larger or smaller than the Core Sets.

The Door Set has been modified, same number of doors but
it will be 4 Mine & 4 Portal instead of 6/2. Their reasoning
makes sense.

It looks like Expansions will be available at retail long before
the KS Backers get theirs with Wave 2. I think this sucks but
FFP may reopen the Wave 1.5 offer.

In general my feelings are FFP 1st KS was a massive learning
experience the pain of which has been passed on to the Backers.

If they ever do another KS I hope the lessons of SoB will be
remembered and I will certainly take a much harder look at
it than I did for this one.

Really the adding of extra materials to the Retail Expansions
and not including them for the Backers who have already paid
for the Expansions on top of having those Retail Expansions
available months ahead of when the Backers get Wave2
just leaves me with a bad taste. I understand why FFP is
doing this but it's still poor planning and doesn't help
Customer Relations.

FFP gets slack as I realize this was their first KS dance
but still for the amount of $ involved in a MC + Pledge
I think I'm justified in feeling a little pissed.
