Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.

It's funny. They go off to these conventions with the campaigns and goals still running and ticking up up up up... and guess what? We hit them as they go out the door. HAHA!
Should have another convention scheduled next weekend so we can hit the goal for them as they head out the door.
Now to play the waiting game. Scratch that, I'm going to play SotM. ;)
Shouldn't you be conventioning? How do you have time to post here?
Also, how's it going? What kind of reception is the video game getting?

Seriously, I ask the same question. I'm not sure how he does it...

Honestly, you would not believe how awesome that costume was. He really looked the part. Even went so far as to get a contact to make his eye look blind. The lights glowing from the goggles up into his face gave him a great, ominously-evil look, too. It was awesome!

There are 5 milliseconds in between when I get to my hotel room and when I fall asleep. In those 5 milliseconds, I can post to the forum, fix some bugs, and check the weather for tomorrow.
It's going really well! Over a thousand people have tried the game and there's still a day to go. The response is overwhelmingly positive, which gives me all the feels. We're getting lots of useful feedback and suggestions. The main constructive criticism is that players familiar with Sentinels want it to go faster - skipping dialogs, faster animations, etc. And we're totally gonna let you do that =). The demo is slowed down a bit because at PAX we also have a lot of people brand new to Sentinels, and we have to try to teach them a little bit about the game in a very short amount of time.
So, it's over 3,500 now. A new stretch goal for reaching 500 more, right?! Obviously, it should be that the game is now boxed with Mr. Chomps-shaped packing peanuts. You're welcome, >G, for this apparent choice.
I hope to see an update today but I expect today/tomorrow will be traveling and recovery time from PAX. I think they need to reveal the last promo before their preorder ends as that could see an increase in orders before it ends.

Also, the tall gentleman running the demo at the first table (facing left, arms crossed) is Donner. (Also, the gentleman playing the demo with the goatee and glasses is his twin brother, Jim.)
We really did have a great time and things went wonderfully.

I imagine they're working on it. I can't speak for the GTG folks, but I know I didn't recover from PAX until today (and it's still a little questionable). It was a great time, but really exhausting. I'd be willing to bet we'll see something by end of day today.
And keep in mind they actually have to create the new promo - they didn't have it in their queue, waiting, so they had to create art, a power, etc. (At least that's the impression I have from their previous post; I could be wrong. )
If we're lucky, they even had time to test out the new power...

Had I been into SotM at the time, I would have done the Sentinel Tactics Kickstarter. Sadly, I am 4 months late to that party... :( But not to the current, ending party! :)

That's 28 more than 3000! That means 28 people wont be getting promos, if you get one it's because >G secretly think you're awesome.

I'll just be sitting here hiting refresh until it does.

It sure beats Hungry Hungry Hippos. ;-)
If you preorder at all, you get all the stretch bonuses listed, right? Just want to be clear.
Yes.
minus 84 copies of Wrath to be sold, minus 84 copies of Wraaaaaaaath

That headline is a lie.
They are just setting up the new Promo:

Well, we haven't had any zombie heroes yet so...
Go forth noble heroes!
Kilts all round!
Just assume I'm always doing that.
Damn it, Ronway!
I think the only way you could negotiate that is by putting on a hat.

LAST DAY OF THE PREORDER!
Some reveals would be nice.
We are knocking on the door of 4k preorders!
And we havn't even seen the 3k promo yet!
Almost 4000!!!
I imagine they're working on it. I can't speak for the GTG folks, but I know I didn't recover from PAX until today (and it's still a little questionable). It was a great time, but really exhausting. I'd be willing to bet we'll see something by end of day today.

)
If we're lucky, they even had time to test out the new power...

Yeah I'd like to see some reveal before the preorder ends. Hopefully with the cons over for a while we will get some daily posts.

This was my impression as well Rabit.
I'm still amazed it has almost reached 4000 and will likely go beyond that before the preorder ends.

For those keeping score at home:
We are at 3990!
Agreed - especially given that the previous SotM Kickstarter had 2,147 backers and the Sentinel Tactics Kickstarter had 2,175.

Good work team! Start cracking that whip Paul, your printer has a lot of work ahead of them
Hey, I just pre-ordered, do I qualify for all the goodies too?
Yes you do.
