Kickstarter Launched!!

Now go back it, Sentinerds!!

Here's a link: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gtgames/galactic-strike-force-the-cooperative-deck-buildin

Ha... yeah. That would have helped... :)

Backed! Not increasing my pledge to include minis until I see them (and maybe not even then).

Forget the minis, will there be a pledge level for playtesting? (I say selfishly having missed out on all of the SotM kickstarters)

Oh, international shipping, thou art the bane of my life... Hmm. This requires some thinking time.

Doesn't look like there's a mention of a playtest support level at the moment.

I have been waiting for the GSF kickstarter solely to pledge enough to become a playtester. Are there plans to include such an option in the future?

We will likely offer ways to buy-in to the Playtester section of the forum, but we have decided to separate that from Kickstarter going forward in order to make things as uncomplicated as possible.

Agreed. So… you remember that nice idea about coming to London in October… <_<

Just saying.

Someone mentioned in the Kickstarter comments that it's probably a good idea to make a mention of the GSF Kickstarter in the Shattered Timelines Kickstarter so that all of those people know that the new one is happening.  Looks like people are having to stumble across the news in random ways at the moment.

For ST they sent an email to all IR backers. Figured that since there were no time sensitive tiers they didn’t need to do it right away.

We will DEFINITELY be sending this update soon :)

Paul, in the words of the great Phillip J. Fry, 

Email was just sent.

I'm super excited!

Being old and jaded (and, okay, just a bit crotchety), my policy is normally to play a game before I buy it. But you guys have me so hooked with Sentinels that I rubber-stamped GSF "Auto-Buy" the moment I heard about it. Clicked and pledged!

I was wondering whether a Kickstarter for this would be coming up soon...and now it is, I've read the whole page and gone "Oh arse...shipping costs...". So yeah, like Joe-Lewis says...you know about how you might be planning on coming to London later this year...? ;)

+1.  I'd buy into playtesting like yesterday

Gotta say, I'm Gamblin' on this one! I would normally want to be a playtester, but I do not have a printer, so that would hurt my ability to playtest. I'm guessing >Games is not like Plaid Hat Games, and has a vassal program. But I'm okay with that. 

I know it's been said here on the forums but I think it would be really good for GtG to good a good demo video up ASAP along with the rules.  Obviously, many of us here are pledging because we know how awesome GtG has been, but people who are on BGG for example are already expressing scepticism on the lack of info.

Also, there's no mention of the Kickstarter on the GSF website.  Seems like a good place to mention it. :)

Wait, really? Have you tried refreshing your cache? Am I the only one seeing it?

I still see the old/original page on multiple browsers. And I have refreshed my cache. 

Butts! Working on it.

Just a suggestion: but you might want to consider more cross promotion for your rewards. As a guy who came to the SotM dance after all the kick starters, if there was a reward level that included all the promo heroes from previous kickstarters I would be all over it…bonus points if you had an Alt warlord Voss for thematic reasons.

As of right now, I am able to see the KS link on the GSF page.

Me too, whereas I couldn't see it a few minutes ago.

Would an extra set on minis cost $40?

EDIT: I can see the KS link onthe GSF website.

Playtester definitely sounds good. 

Is there any steps to combine the shipping already paid for with Vengeance??

They put an FAQ about it on the main KS page.

Does this mean people would be able to join playtesting and help flesh out GSF or would that be too late? I mean checking out Vengeance would still definitely be nice.

Side note: I am guessing this means Playtester contirbuitions wont be included towards stretch goals. 

Was just wondering whether we contact them now or after the KS campaign regarding combining the pledges.  As currently thats the part

@Pydro

You can add extra copies of the miniatures pack a la carte for $30, and extra copies of the main game a la carte for $40. However, we are not publishing this on the main Kickstarter page because we have discovered in the past that complications like this generate more confusion and hassle than revenue :) However! If you'd like to do it, you may by all means! Just remind me with a note in the comments section of your Backer survey :)

@Koey

Just let me know after the campaign ends in your Backer survey.

Would it be feasible at all to add some previous promo SoTM cards / decks as add-ons to GSF's campaign? I know I would definitely pitch some extra in for them, I only got into Sentinels recently and am suffering from some serious Kickstarter regret.

Just a thought.

Thanks for the reply. Would you mind clarifying what do you mean by the one time surcharge fee? Is it just having paid shipping once or is this something else I am misreading from the FAQ.

I mean that if you paid the extra $40 (or $15) for international shipping once, you don't have to pay it again if you opt to combine your Vengeance and GSF shipments.

Wait, we can pledge for GSF and have it combined with Vengeance to avoid a second shipping cost? Ooh! Yay! :D

Okay sweet. It's just the answer was phrased made it seem like there was some processing fee betwee the 2 games.

Also Paul is there any schedule change in the printing of Vengeance? I am assuming GSF early October, Vengeance Late October??

@Koey

All we're saying right now is that we are confident we can have both games some time before the end of October.

Hi Paul, if I order an extra copy of GSF for 40 bucks do I get an extra set of the promo goodies with it?

@Jools

Hmm. Send me a PM via Kickstarter and let me know what you want to do and why, and I'll see what we can work out :)
