Honestly, if the I Want It All level was itself an add-on to that level and above, I'd be sorely tempted to do a double order of that. So much good stuff in that tier.

Having too many dice is like being too rich or too skinny.

I've been gaming for roughly 40 years I've got a lot of dice. Way too many to transport in any reasonable fashion. I tried to organize my loose dice into some semblance of order a couple of years ago and wound up with dice all over the apartment, piles of different kinds of dice in different places, trying build up complete sets and then big lots of d10's and d6's for the games that just want those but it quickly became apparent that I had nowhere enough pouches and other containers to keep them all separate once I did get the organized. I think I might have too many dice.

If I want it all was an add on, I’d order 2 extra immediately

You do not have too many dice. You actually need more dice because you simply have not yet attained endicenment.

There are subsidies baked into that reward level that do not scale. We have no plans to offer the "I Want It All" reward as an add-on item.

Hence, I'm paying for my son to get I want it All, but I'm also exactly duplicating the "ingredients" for my daughter within my own "I want it all".

Postage for those from "a land down under" is a bit steep - $76!

If you could give a better breakdown on postage, I would change to either:

1. 3 copies of I want it all (3 x (110+76)) = $558 (3 lots of postage)
or
2. 1 copy plus equivalent: (110 + (2x128)) = $356 (no postage included, but it won't be only $76)

Do you see my dilemma?

I want to support the kickstarter but I don't want to "cut my throat and bleed in your lap" (The High Window, Raymond Chandler).

Any guidance? I'm happy to tweak to maximise your profits while minimising my costs.

We wish that we could! We've got our best estimates listed in the FAQ, and we have had no luck in finding a better solution for Australia.

I figured that, that's why I'm taking a duel approach - 2 x I want it all (+ duplicate a I want it all within one of them).
I'm not trying to be nasty, I want this KS to lead to more!

Don't worry, I didn't take your response as nasty at all!

And yes, we're planning for success beyond this project; we think that we have an opportunity here to make something that can continue to grow. So: Thank you!
