Speaking of shipping charges, I have a new mystery. I ordered some challenge coins because I had an educator discount and some money to burn and they shipped in six...separate...bubble mailers. Which all arrived on the same day. I feel like someone should have seen the obvious cost saving option here.

You're assuming there are sentient beings at work there.

The puzzle involved within the Kickstarter campaign page was fun: the #s within the video, what they correspond to & the message reveal. Solving that with 25 days remaining has me hoping another round of clue/cipher puzzling will be released before the end of the campaign. I haven't done Carcosa yet, so can't be sure of its relationship to KiY, but this definitely is that story world: being in the theater for THAT performance which 'resurrects' the Yellow King. Color me an optimist (shudder the thought) but I'm looking forward to it.

I just left a comment in response to a statement/comment about the end of Filigree in Shadow. We'll see how long it stays up.

SheikYoboudi, I'm a boob at solving puzzles and would appreciate some hints (or even answers) regarding the puzzles in the Kickstarter campaign. You can PM me here (if you sign up). Thanks.

thegenii Well, at the least they didn't delete my original post and got some interaction on it... Glad to see that

Surprisingly, my post on Kickstarter was not deleted, and it received this reply. (They are trying ... have to give them that.)
Mysterious Package CompanyCreator about 5 hours ago Greetings, Richard. Fortunately for us, and our customers, we have learned a lot since then. We know, and do promise, that HASTUR will be one of the most immersive, interactive, inventive experiences we’ve ever created, particularly with the wonderful team we have on-board. We believe whole-heartedly that it will exceed expectation but not our capacity to pull it off. We are thrilled that you have pledged for HASTUR and look forward to your feedback once it is at your door.

Nicely done! Yeah kickstarter comments cannot easily be removed. They can only be removed by request to kickstarter by the project creator and only if it is vulgar, or slanderous with proof. Thanks for saying what I wanted to. They gave us the most minimal information for filigree and still failed to meet their limited promises. No way I will trust them this time with even less information.

How many experiences HAVE they created with the team they have on board? Crate of Cthulhu and this? And we know that they out-sourced the artifact for Crate of Cthulhu thanks to a podcast that Jason Kapalka participated in.

I believe they did Taako's as well, but that that may have already partially been in the works.

Outsourced or not, the artifact for Crate of Cthulu was a quality artifact along the lines of other items they've produced.

Hard to know for sure, but it's possible that they also did the second Post Mortem, which I think was notably better than the first and seemed to take a lot of feedback into account (at least, it certainly improved on everything I noted needed improving in my feedback survey). Crate of Cthulhu was seriously impressive; even if they did outsource the main artifact, it was done very well and it's good that they knew their limitations. The response to genii's comment is also notably different than their previous attitude. All pretty good signs...

At this rate they aren’t even going to reach the second stretch goal.
