Omg kickstarter stream was awesome

That's a good question. The plan was to have our survey form ask for the license key. I suppose we could add a free-form area to provide multiple license keys and then you would just back at a single level and then increase your backer level to cover the extras.

Another way could be to add additional licenses as an add-on item? Increase pledge accordingly though to cover the additional license(s). Thanks.

The main reason why I want to do a FGC Standard > FGU Ultimate upgrade would be not to 'force' my players to pay money so we can make use of FGU's features. We all have FGC Standard right now, so if we want to upgrade to FGU everyone would have to pay money for the upgrade. For some members of my group this upgrade price is still quite a bit of money while I'm in a better financial position. I just want to gift my players a better RP experience for free and lower the barrier to join a game I run.

I just thought the difference in amounts between upgrade and newcomer prices was a small oversight. I was hoping for a minor discount to upgrade to FGU and pick up an Ultimate license at the same time. I'm dutch, we just can't help it to save some cents. No hard feelings though, I still love FG.

And most likely I will pay the extra $5 anyway now I think about it more and more. Because one, I want to support the KS and Smiteworks. Two, there is really nothing to complain about FGU's backwards compatibility and the awesome new map features. And three, the thought and care the community receives from Smiteworks is just plain awesome.

I'm really looking forward to FGU and all the new features that it will bring to us eventually (built-in music support please!). ;-)

Wow my little thread really took off. I cant help but feel a little like a proud papa. I just wanted to exclaim my excitement and vent that hype I felt during a stream. I am absolutely day 1 going to go whole hog on this kickstarter and I am salivating at what the stretch goals might be

I know it's probably a given, but just to make sure - Ultimate upgrades already purchased through Steam are eligible for the Kickstarter pricing, right?

For Kickstarter only at this time. As we get closer to an official launch in December (non-Beta) then we will evaluate whether or not discounts will continue to be offered.

It's awesome ddavison is answering lots of questions!

Not trying to be cheap, but i'm trying to get as many friends in the bandwagon ready for FGU kickstarter: Is there any chance we se FGC at a discounted price this month? During FG-Con maybe?

[Nylanfs]

Sales are always mirrored on Steam, so add the items you want to your Wishlist there, then buy here when you get an email about a sale.

Doug mentioned an Orlando kickoff party. Is that open to anyone?

I can't imagine its going to be a "cheap" backer level, I'd be shocked if its under $500 level if not a grand....but hey more power to anyone that even dropping a four figure amount is "pocket change" -- I envy your situation if that's the case as that is certainly not mine! LOL.
