Catalyst21 he/him Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) So Ed... how much do I need to pledge to get a better rate than $20/set? I'm serious by the way. I am willing to go significantly higher than the 5 sets / $100 I am at now, I believe in this project, but not at MSRP+$5 Edited January 25, 2015 by Catalyst21
Claincy he/him Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 @Oudeis. It says on the Kickstarter page that all the backers get one vote Per Dollar they've spent. Not 1 vote per backer. So all of us who bought one set have twenty votes, Claicy, who bought ten sets, should have 200 Votes. (It's actually 13 now 5 for others, 2 for gifts in the future, 6 for me...I like dice) ...so I remember ~5 days ago saying that I thought it would hit 20k but 24k seemed a bit unlikely....very pleased that I was wrong. I'm strongly in favour of electrum and lerasium, but after that I'm less certain. I personally think that having a single poll where everyone could pick the 3 they wanted most and then just pick the 3 with the most votes would be accurate enough without making it too complex. 2

Yeah. Four exclusives would really be much neater, because we could go Electrum-Lerasium-Aluminum-Duralumin. Can we make it?

It'd take 2.5k in half an hour. Don't think that's gonna happen, and I've already put in as much (or more) as I really should. Edit: The campaign has ended with 3 exclusive dice, at $42,831 Edited January 25, 2015 by lord Claincy Ffnord
Blaze1616 he/him Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Now that its over, my first two picks are the same, electrum then lerasium. Third pick will probably be Malatium, just to please pretty much everyone who has been vocal.
Kaymyth she/her Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Now that its over, my first two picks are the same, electrum then lerasium. Third pick will probably be Malatium, just to please pretty much everyone who has been vocal. Eh. Wasn't malatium already done the first time they did dice? I'd like something else from a metal that does more interesting things. Remember, kids, a vote for bendalloy is a vote for temporal distortions! And who doesn't love temporal distortions?
Kurkistan he/him Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Remember, kids, a vote for bendalloy is a vote for temporal distortions! And who doesn't love temporal distortions? *Nods sagely* Though myself I'm conflicted. I was thinking Electrum + Lerasium as a no brainer, but then we got the 3rd die and now there's some reason to go either Electrum + Aluminum/Duralumin or Electrum + Bendalloy/Cadmium, to fill out some quadrants.

I wouldn't object to cadmium. You can do some really stupid-entertaining things with cadmium from a narrative standpoint. But the bendalloy symbol looks cooler.
Oudeis he/him Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Hey, official Crafty people. Any word on how the poll will be administered?
Ed Healy Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Hey, official Crafty people. Any word on how the poll will be administered? We'll be posting an update to the Kickstarter for backers soon. We need to wait to see how many backer payments actually come through, etc. 1
Oudeis he/him Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Just went to check and make sure mine, at least, had gone through properly... it has me listed at $20. I know I backed at the $20 level, but I upped it to $40 to get two sets... is it just showing me my level, or is that actually as much as I backed? Not the end of the world if I only get one set but I was sorta hoping for two...

Not the end of the world if I only get one set but I was sorta hoping for two... When we send out the survey, you'll be asked how many sets you intended to back. If you pledged $40 for 2 sets, you'll receive 2 sets and 2 copies of each Kickstarter Exclusive.
Oudeis he/him Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Okay. I'm not sure if I'm saying this correctly, I know that I fully intended to pledge $40. Looking over what I can see, I'm worried that I did something wrong at the time and Kickstarter thought I only wanted to donate $20. If it were as simple as just giving you another $20 now I'd do that, but I suspect it will not be quite that easy. Like I said, if either Kickstarter or I goofed and I only gave you guys $20, my friend will just survive borrowing my set of dice instead of having his own.

Ed Healy Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 If you are a backer of this Kickstarter, go check the latest update. We just announced how we'll be handling voting for the Kickstarter Exclusive Dice. 2
Ed Healy Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 SURVEYS ARE OUT: Check your email. All backers should have one from Kickstarter, asking you to fill out your Kickstarter survey. Voting has begun! 1
Gamma Fiend he/him Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Indeed, I have received the email and placed my votes! Lerasium + Electrum please!I know it will be a while until these actually are made and shipped, but until then I will gladly await, and also start playing with my 3 copies of MAG! (1 physical, 2 digital!) Will we get updates in the manufacturing process, like when they're near completed, and starting the packaging phase, and then shipping? 1
Ed Healy Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Will we get updates in the manufacturing process, like when they're near completed, and starting the packaging phase, and then shipping? Yes. I'll be posting updates every time we make another step. When we get photos of prototypes, I'll post those. When the dice are at the port... update! Should be a fun ride. 1
Argent he/him Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 The symbols for the extra metals seem to have gone away, I need to look them up in other places...

Oudeis he/him Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 It is announced! Lerasium, Electrum, Duralumin. Cadmium got 5.82% of the vote. I wonder how that's split between Marasi fans, people wanting to round out the temporal quadrant, and people confusing it with Chromium...
Gamma Fiend he/him Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Updates!Looks like Updates on the progress of the Mistborn Dice have been sent out! The molds of the first 10 dice have come in, and they said they are inspecting (read: playing with) them for final checks before giving the go-ahead on full scale production!I just gotta say, these look gorgeous! 1
Claincy he/him Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 This is a bit of a necro, but a reasonable one I think. My dice arrived 172 mistborn dice. (Around half are mine.) 2
