D.

If you're digging into map issues, you might also want to know that my M1 and M3 maps don't line up properly. On M1, there are two half hexes that are clear terrain but should be woods terrain. So I end up with two clear half hexes in the middle of the forest, which looks odd. :(

This was addressed over on one of the KS updates. From the update:

"When we were reviewing the playmats, we noticed an error on the southern edge of the M1 playmat that, unfortunately, is a part of all of the previously-printed M1 playmats. Two hexes on the southern side of the map do not properly align with the northern edge of the design. We are correcting this in the M1 playmats that will be printed as a part of this Kickstarter project. We're sorry for the mistake and we will take steps to improve our checking process for future Ogre playmats."

I figure I'll correct it with overlays, so it's not a big deal, but I did notice it.

Otherwise, the mats are beautiful. :)

Over on the KS pages, I went through all 19 prior SJG campaigns, and ranked them from most to least supported. Right now, "Battlefields" is set to take the #8 slot away from "Munchkin Starfinder".

It may be able to overtake "Car Wars Arenas" and get the #6 slot before this ends -- showing just how much folks want Ogre in their lives. Either way, at the end, it will mean four Ogre family offerings are in the top ten of the most funded KS campaigns from SJG. Not too shabby for a game that's middle aged.

By dollar or by number of backers?

By dollars ... nothing fancy, just raw numbers.

A quick trawl looks like Battlefields is #15 by number of backers right now.

I figured it just means we have "special collector's editions" instead. You could always order another M1 and have both ;-)

Thanks. Too bad Kickstarter doesn't have a tool to automate sorting the data.

Hmm, if Kicktraq already has a feature to display by category. If they could be persuaded to add a feature to display by Creator, then you could have your own personalised hot list.

An interesting metric would be how many backers for Battlefields or other recent Ogre Kickstarters were NOT backers of ODE. I happen to be one of them...relatively new blood.
