Okay, because for some reason I can never make heads or tails of Kickstarters...


Just to double check, the 25$ pdf level has pdfs of the following: Melee, Wizard, In the Labrynth, Tollenkar's Lair, Death Test, Death Test 2, Character Sheets, Megahexes, Character and Reference sheet.

And does the Companion add-on have a pdf version or is it only in softcover?


And I think I read that the dice are pip only, no Eye In The Pyramid?

Yes. The $25 PDF reward level includes all of those items. Also, the higher-than-$25 level rewards include the PDFs.

The Companion, in PDF, is now a part of the $25 reward level.

The dice are standard spot dice, not custom dice. The dice will be pearlized acrylic, not standard white urea dice.

We have not yet finalized the Companion contents. We won't have a final page count until later; and the Companion will be a lower-priority item for our production process since we are printing the book inside the United States. Our initial focus is on all of the components that are manufactured at our partner factories in China.

Wow; that's a better deal than I thought. (The KS page lists that level as including one bullet, TFT. So I assumed that was the only thing at that level.)

Any pictures available? "Pearlized" means a couple of different things, so it'd be nice to see them.

Not that I have any shortage of d6s (even back in original TFT days, I'd plundered many of my Avalon Hill games for more than enough even for Champions). But I'd been contemplating the notion of picking up a few more with the addon, maybe a matched set of 5 or 6 each red and blue. (Keep three, swap the other two with the other set, and you've got the easy way to read the crit results on the base three while still adding the extra difficulty dice.)

Which leads me to ask, how many dice come with each package (Melee, Wizard, I Want It All)? I'd guess three in each of the boxed games, of the appropriate theme color to match the box, but I didn't see that detail on the KS page descriptions.

Hi Anaraxes,
My understanding is that 4 dice come in each box (3 basic ones and 1 extra from a stretch goal). I don't know if they are colored red and blue.

Warm regards, Rick.

* Melee - three red pearlized acrylic with gold ink
* Wizard - three blue pearlized acrylic with gold ink
* Legacy Edition - the above (since those games are packed in the box, plus one each of the red pearlized and blue pearlized dice

I Want It All includes the Legacy Edition box, so that package contains a total of eight dice: three in Melee, three in Wizard, and two in the Legacy Edition.

The unlocked stretch goal added dice to the Legacy Edition box, not to the individual Melee and Wizard boxes.

By dropping the two stretch goal dice, polybagged, into the Legacy Edition box, we were able to create a dice add-on without complicating the manufacturing process.

OK, thanks for clearing things up Phil. Rick

Well that kicked it up from "You've got my money" to "YOU'VE GOT MY MONEY!"

Thanks for the responses. Certainly there are a useful number of dice there already. Now I just have to decide if I want to bump it up a little.
