KD:M 1.5 - Kickstarter Guide

How to Pledge for the Kingdom Death : Monster 1.5 Kickstarter

For those new to Kickstarter, it's easy: Select the available Pledge Level that has the stuff you want, then add funds for the Add-Ons you want.
Dont worry about shipping right now. Shipping is additional and is not included when you pledge.

Things to know:

  • Telling the team what you want from the funds you added above the Pledge amount will be handled in the pledge manager (a separate website from Kickstarter) that the Kingdom Death team will tell backers about sometime after the Kickstarter ends
  • Shipping charges will be calculated and paid for in the pledge manager after the Kickstarter ends as well
  • It's a better idea to add funds during the Kickstarter for the things you know you want - no guarantees that you'll be able to add items later, and based on the 1.0 KD:M Kickstarter, the window to update will be very small
  • Pledge Responsibly!

Getting Started

For example, say you want the game with the Dragon King expansion and Satan exclusive. You would pick the “Lantern” pledge which rewards the Core 1.5 Game for $250, then add $75 for the Dragon King Expansion and another $25 for the Satan exclusive for a total of $350:

$250 for the Lantern Pledge to get the 1.5 Core Game
+$75 for the Dragon King expansion
+$25 for the Satan exclusive
= $350 total funds at the Lantern Pledge level

  1. Sign up for an account with Kickstarter
