I just posted some cutfiles for the gazebo promo pdf for Darkfast Dungeons kickstarter. I think the promo is only for backers. If you are reading this prior to August 7, 2014 and you haven't bought into the kickstarter, it's not too late! Buying in at the $10 level will get you access to the stretch goals, but there are higher levels to consider, and add-ons as well!

Hi Dave, I've been meaning to buy some other add-ons via paypal, but what I find in the menu doesn't comply with the list in the KS page. Or better, it seems obvious what refers to what, but I'll ask anyway, just to be sure.
Undead Set $10 CAD is the Realm of Shades Expansion Monster Set $5 CAD is the Dungeon Monsters Add-On Fantasy $10 CAD is the Fantasy Package Add-On
Did I get it correctly?

The initial Fantasy add on is $12. The Monster Set is the Dungeon Monsters add-on and the undead set is the Realm of Shades Expansion.
Sorry, I have someone handling the paypal part of things as it eludes me at the moment. I will have to figure it out for my next Kickstarter. They are doing a great job interpreting my confused mumbles.

They are doing a great job interpreting my confused mumbles. Don't worry, as I said it was quite clear. I just wanted to be super-sure Thank you very much.

Final 42 Hours!!! We are so close to 9,000 and the Dave Graffam Walls! We are at 8721 with Paypal!
I'm hoping more people will hop on board (as they are doing, we were at 8289 at 9 am) and we can get to the Treasure Trove. 100 game cards ... I'm going to have my friends over and we are going to come up with 100 super awesome ideas for traps, treasures, events, etc. Should be a blast!

I'll bet that would even get you a new pledge or two...

Well, this is true! We were just talking about it at our game last night and the ideas were fast and furious. I like your idea better!

Nemo: I found the Paypal options a little confusing too, especially when you're trying to order various, but not all, of the add-ons, and having to "Buy" each one separately... I think someone raised the point among the KS comments (or maybe it was earlier in this topic), but the idea is Dave sends out a survey by e-mail at the end of the KS, and you can then clearly identify which of the add-ons you wanted to purchase. So, as long as you paid sufficient money in good time (which can sometimes be extended beyond the "official" KS end-point for Paypal payments, I understand, at the manufacturer/designers' choice), there shouldn't be a problem getting what you wanted. Liking the idea of the Into the Wilds 11K stretch goal. In my imagination at least, it should be fairly easy to swap the Cavern skins for grass, flowers and/or bare earth underfoot, undergrowth and leafy-branch walls, making the floating walls into huge buttress tree-roots, so the characters have to follow a densely forested pathway through, but the graphic also suggests some free-standing trees and shrubs too, which would be fun props. The Outer Planes Supplement (12K) sounds promising as well. Hopefully, even if we don't quite get there during the KS, these could still become available further down the line anyway (looks up with "hopeful puppy" eyes)?

Finally managed to take pictures of my builds so far Oh wow, it's so nice to see my work "in the wild". Great job! I can't wait to see the final game together on the table being played by people. That's really exciting. We are so close to $10,000 right now. I calculated $9,763 including paypal!

Thanks for the compliments. Bewulf, your colours look so great. What printer are you using? Those were printed on a laser printer at my flps (friendly local print shop). Sadly my home printer is not up to that quality.

Great to see the Wilderness Expansion has been unlocked. With six minutes left, only $73+ to get to the Outer Planes...
Great to know we can look forward to ice cave transparencies - and maybe water too (WackyAnne's KS comment earlier today). This could work for panels in the forest setting as well, maybe?

Wonderful stuff, Dave! Just over the 12K mark at the close, thanks to Rhannon if I've interpreted the KS comments correctly. So the Outer Planes were reached successfully after all! More options for transparencies there too, methinks! Only my second KS, so am no expert, but are the last couple of days always this crazy, or is there something about papercraft KS's which brings this on? (Lord Zsezse's Elven Towers last month, Okumarts Dungeons, Wildernesses and Beyond this). Could become addictive... Many congratulations Dave. Look forward to seeing all the goodies in the fulness of time. That persistent tapping sound is merely two hundred plus sets of feet drumming the floor impatiently

At least since the innovation of "stretch goals" - Think about it - should I invest early or wait until I can see the how much stuff I'm REALLY going to get? Watch the $1 pledges turn to "all stretch goals included" pledges in the last 2 days.

Thank you everyone! I am so tired right now. After the KS ended I took my kids out to supper and we had fun chatting and goofing around. So we made the 12,097 including stretch goals. Yikes. I'm going to get to do that Outer Planes Supplement after all! Eleven Stretch Goals. Wow. I have learned plenty in this process and I'm already plotting my follow up Kickstarter for the late fall. At the rate I'm working I should have two of the three waves of KS material out the door by the end of November. The priority is making sure the core game is awesome. I am going to need some guinea pigs, I mean volunteers to help proofread and edit and everyone here has been so overwhelmingly supportive over the years I can't think of another group that would be the people to help out with this than you lot. I really was moved by the last few minutes and seconds of the Kickstarter. Everyone was so into it right along with me and totally invested. For some reason this song came up on the random playlist I was listening to on iTunes and it was like a Wes Anderson movie or something. Everything was moving in slow motion. Thank you! Now I have to get to work.

I'm not a pledger (sigh) but if this does'nt put me out of the park ( is this the right way to say?) i'll be glad to proofreading. Being my english so poor i could miss some grammar error, but i usually catch the typos and i could be your best "dumb customer simulator": if i can understand the rules, everyone will do

I'm not expert on rules etc - play few games these days and those I do are "very" rules light.... But I am a pernickity bugger when it comes to spelling, grammar and ease of reading. So if I can be of any help with that David please do give me a shout. Maybe after Parduz has 'crash-tested' the rules?

PS - congratulations on the success of the KS. My financial situation at the moment restricted me to just the basic game but this is the firt ever KS I have ever pledgedto - I was not goign to mis out on this one!! Plus I will be picking up whatever add-ons are not KS only later as they become available to the general public.
Well done David.

Watch the $1 pledges turn to "all stretch goals included" pledges in the last 2 days. There's a little star-shape you can click on, just to the bottom left of the Kickstarter video. That's so you can be reminded 48 hours before the end of the campaign, and lets those that were curious to come back and support it if they find the project is still or more compelling than before. That's why there is almost always a big burst of support at the end, and it can get really crazy. Some campaigns might even double their numbers in the last 48 hours! I was very happy to see David's get so far, so fast! I knew his stuff was great, knew he had lots of fans, and lots of ideas, but I never guessed it would do so well. Maybe Kickstarter is helping papercraft finally come into its own? With @fat Dragon Tom's 5 successful campaigns (the last outdoing the first four combined!), BSGTony (lordzsezse)'s, and now okumarts', and print-and-play demos and add-ons featured in other campaigns, it really looks like it.

Congratulations, this was a great crowdfunding campaign!! And from the times of the updates (like "paypal update as of 3:30 A.M." and things like that) I guess you will need some sleep

okumarts - According to Kickstarter, I think you've already got 207 potential guinea pigs for the game...

Maybe it's because I never read beta copies... Still, that is a good point mrproteau. I just want what the backers get to be the best version the first time.
