They kept that quiet. You'd think that announcing something like that to the community would be a good idea, especially as it's only an 8 day campaign, and people may have problems organising their finances with no notice at all.

It was forecasted to backers of the prior campaign by Foam Brain Games but not really highlighted by GtG.

Hot! That NightMist shirt, in particular.

Man, I would totally get that Prime Warden's shirt if it was just the image of the characters.

It would have only taken a quick post here by FBG. I didn't back the last one because there wasn't anything I wanted enough to warrant the expense of international shipping, and I imagine there are a lot of people on here who might want something this time round but didn't get in on the last one.

Poor marketing choice.

I like the tshirts but with literally no income it's very difficult for me to buy anything with no time to budget for it. Looks like I'll have to pass.

Well by forecasting they stated they would do another one but no given date.  The launch date was announced in an update last night and I didn't have a chance to post it until after it had gone live.

Not blaming you Powerhound, just in case I came across that way. Unless it's actually your job to announce their kickstarters - in which case you should be ashamed of yourself. :P

Really hoping the shirts come in other colors. I'm tired of black shirts, but I love that Mr. Fixer minimalist shirt...

I'm a huge fan of minimalist artwork, so I'm digging the shirts. I just wish they had more characters as they didn't include many of my favorites (though Argent Adept looks sweet). Anyone know if there are plans to do more minimalist things in the future?

A Unity shirt would be all of the awesome too.

The last campaign this added some more options once they passed the initial goal so it's entirely possible.    I know I would like to see what other minimalist tshirt designs they might have.

I really like the minimal artwork shirts, both Expatriette and Nightmist look particularly awesome.

Nice to see that wonderful Dark Watch artwork on something I might consider too, although I would love it as just a poster.
Actually, all the comic covers are great but not the sort of thing I’d go for on items much, but they would make an awesome poster set.

Agree with this.  So much agreement.  An 8x10 or 11x14 set would be awesome.

I might consider them on coffee mugs rather than pint glasses.

Well, they announced the stretch goals the other day, but at this point I doubt we'll even get the Guise pins. :confused: Doesn't seem to be doing really well. Hopefully the last day or so will pick up…

I think it would've helped to give backers of the prior KS more notice and posting here a week or more before starting would've helped.  The timing of going on during PAX Prime  is bad too since GtG couldn't promote it more.

Last time someone posted something on BGG (possible in the news section too?), that probably helped a bit too.

You can't expect a Kickstarter to do well if you don't advertise it to your potential customers.

It's funded. No matter what level of "do well" you place on the kickstarter, Foam Brain Games valued it at $1,500 and they made it. By their values they succeed in their goal.

Sure, it's funded. Great. But I believe it would have done much better with a little bit of marketing.
