Another Kickstarter project that I am supporting is D-Day Dice. And it's another incredible KS deal. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1325766284/d-day-dice-board-game

A pledge for the game at the $35 level includes the following:

1 copy of D-Day Dice
1 set of D-Day Dice Pouches
1 Distinguished Service Pack
Your name will be listed in the rulebook as an 'ENLISTED' donator
1 copy of D-Day Dice: Badges expansion ($40K)*
2 bonus Kickstarter cards (K-Gun item; Pledge Ribbon award) ($45K)*
4 MGF dice ($50K)*
2 extra Battle Maps ($60K)*
2 bonus Kickstarter cards (The Supporter specialist; The Victory Ribbon award) ($70K)*
1 D-Day Dice carry bag ($76,079)*
1 base game Tin Box (you also receive the base game cardboard box) ($85K)*
6 special 'speckled' RWB dice (2 red, 2 white, 2 blue) ($100K)*
2 bonus Kickstarter cards (The Campaign Ribbon award; The K-Rations item) ($105,399)*
18 special 'speckled' RWB dice (6 red, 6 white, 6 blue) (completing a full set along with the $100K reward) ($115K)*
1 Legendary Supporter resource card ($140K and Final)*

At the next level of support ($50) the package includes the Atlantikwall expansion, which allows another player to play the Germans. But the interesting thing with the game is with the 'Line for Life' pledges. These have proved to be really popular. The 'Line for Life' pledges are like subscriptions, where you pledge once and receive everything that will ever be released for the game. Currently 'Line for Life' pledges are available for $140 (1x) and a group 'Line for Life' for $450 (4x). Included in a 'Line for Life' pledge is:

1 copy of D-Day Dice
1 set of D-Day Dice Pouches
1 Distinguished Service Pack
1 copy of the Atlantikwall expansion
1 copy of the Gott Mit Uns expansion
1 copy of the Normandy expansion
1 copy of the Operation Neptune expansion
An exclusive card SIGNED by the designer
Your name will be listed in the rulebook as a 'FIELD MARSHAL' donator
1 copy of D-Day Dice: Badges expansion ($40K)*
2 bonus Kickstarter cards (K-Gun item; Pledge Ribbon award) ($45K)*
4 MGF dice ($50K)*
2 extra Battle Maps ($60K)*
2 bonus Kickstarter cards (The Supporter specialist; The Victory Ribbon award) ($70K)*
1 D-Day Dice carry bag ($76,079)*
1 base game Tin Box (you also receive the base game cardboard box) ($85K)*
6 special 'speckled' RWB dice (2 red, 2 white, 2 blue) ($100K)*
2 bonus Kickstarter cards (The Campaign Ribbon award; The K-Rations item) ($105,399)*
18 special 'speckled' RWB dice (6 red, 6 white, 6 blue) (completing a full set along with the $100K reward) ($115K)*
1 Legendary Supporter resource card ($140K and Final)*
Plus EVERYTHING that will ever be released in future for the game (and there are quite a few expansions planned already).

A pledge for the 4x 'Line for Life' gives you four times the amount of the above. This is a great way to get in with a group and obtain the best possible price. I have purchased a 'Line for Life' in a group of 4.

There is also a 'very special' stretch reward if the project becomes the highest funded KS game project to date - this is looking very possible. As of today, D-Day Dice became the highest ever funded boardgame project on Kickstarter. As a reward every person who Kickstarts the game receives a D-Day Dice carry bag. The next Stretch reward will be announced when and if the funding reaches $85K.

Also, there is a free PnP version (and a VASSAL version) if you want to try before you buy. See the BGG page: http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/101785/d-day-dice

*These are the 'Stretch' rewards included in all levels of support ($ figures in brackets denote the funding level that the reward was offered at).

I managed to get in the first "Line for Life" group for $100. I think this is a great Kickstarter project. It certainly has exceeded funding targets.

I read this thread a few minutes ago, looked all the samples, and decided that I didn't care about this game. I finished eating my lunch, went back to work, and started thinking about the game again. The words "Line for Life" were haunting me. Then I broke down and pledged $140. Cry I like the co-op aspect of the game.

Joff, I'm holding you personally responsible. Grin

I am really dying to support this game too. The deals, the extra components. Everything sounds so awesome. Plus I've always wanted to join a kickstarter program. Too bad I don't have any money right now and my wife doesn't really like World War II stuff. Still, this game is driving me mad!

If I can, I'm going to pledge at least the minimum amount by December 9th. It may be tough, but I'll try.

When I saw this in my e-mail this morning, I forgave Joff for getting me into this:



The amount of extras for this game is ridiculously awesome. This game is already past $80k and the next reward is coming at $85k. Apparently the record for most funding is $106k.

The $85k milestone has been reached and the reward is... a tin storage box. I think the bag from the last reward made me expect the rewards would get progressively more awesome, but deep down I know that isn't realistic. We'll see what happens at $100k.

It is an absolutely amazing KS offer!

Even if you don't plan on getting any expansions, pledging just $35 gets you a ton of cool stuff!

Whaley, as you are an M44 fan, you don't want to miss out on this!

Even if they never make another expansion after the ones already announced, my 'Line for Life' has already paid for itself with the extras I am getting. Really pleased to be a supporter.

Free tin and bag? Ugh. Pledging $35. I can't afford more. But I also can't afford not to pledge at least the minimum. I want dem promo items!!!

Update: Double UGH! I just upped my pledge to $50 so I could get the Atlantic Wall campaign set. Why do I continue to do this?! I justified it as my personal gain from a work bonus, but I couldn't afford the $35 to begin with and now here I am upping the pledge. I wish I could afford the $75 for the triple expansion set but I'll have to wait to get those.

The $100k reward is a new set of dice with a speckled background. I thought they already had a speckled background to begin with...

The next reward should be announced today or tomorrow because D-Day Dice has broken the record for most funding in the Games category.

Some of the dice did, but not the Red, White and Blue main gameplay dice. Now you will have a matching set.

It's (ATM) over $111,000.  Of $13,000 pledged.

Completely killed the last stretch of $105,398 and coming up on making the Games Category #5 overall ($116,272).

Totally worth it; and I am anxiously awaiting it!!  Few months to wait....

Apparently the $105,398 reward is two bonus cards, but there hasn't been any detail about that yet. There is another reward at $115k which is yet to be announced. It's now over $119k and the final reward will be at $130k. There's 3 days left, which just might be doable.
