Anthelion: Conclave of Power is live on Kickstarter! Here are your discount details.

Hello everyone! We have lots to talk about (package status - including Liberation and Banned Books Bernard, new stock on the site, and some new games for the PNP folder), but this update is strictly about today's Kickstarter launch of Anthelion: Conclave of Power.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/239309591/anthelion-conclave-of-power 

The sun is setting on one of the most devastating battles the  Pocket Universe has ever seen. After years of fighting, it is becoming  clear that this war will not be won on the strength of military  victories alone. The leaders of the Dynasty and the Liberation turn  their attention to some of the most influential figures in the galaxy to  strengthen their cause. 

Who will be able to consolidate their power, gain new allies, and  turn old foes to their side? Who can form a Conclave powerful enough to  gain control of the Universe?

Anthelion: Conclave of Power builds on the foundation  one of our most successful wallet games, the two-player influence  manipulation game Avignon: A Clash of Popes. Players will use the  special abilities of the locations and characters in play to pull  characters to their side of the table (their Conclave), or push unwanted  characters to their opponent. The player that can amass 10 points of  infuence—regardless of the factions the characters once served—will be declared the winner.


If you've played Avignon: A Clash of Popes, this is like Avignon 2.5. The complexity ramps up quite a bit. 

And we mentioned this before, but Anthelion is a big release for us in 2019. There will be a total of 5 expansions. 1 with the Kickstarter and 4 will come in the $10+ packages here. So this won't be the last you see of it. 

As a patron, you receive a discount. It's real simple but when we throw in the discount differences and the three shipping regions, everything goes wonky. I made the spreadsheet below and HOPE that it's clear. Every month we try a new way to get this information out and I feel like we get closer each month. 

Here's how to pledge at Kickstarter

Choose the $1 reward level and adjust your pledge accordingly. The prices below are for the game, game plus expansions (which, remember, are coming in the $10+ BGOTMC packages, so no need to pledge on those if you are at the $10+ levels) and game and playmat levels. Sorry about the international shipping costs on that playmat. This is a real big one. 

Here are the costs of each reward and the price based on your Patreon level:

I think that's everything. Hope to see some familiar names at the Kickstarter and stay tuned for the next update. So many goodies have come in within the last few weeks and they are ready to go out.

Thanks everyone. Sorry for the raced update but it's launch day and I'm trying to get the word out. Talk to you soon!

Hi. If I've only just joined the Patreon. am I able to get access to PnP versions of games that are not in the drop box such as Anthelion? Should have become a patron couple days ago before I bought the Liberation PnP direct from your site, seeing it in your drop box so could have saved a couple £. Never mind, but if you could clarify how the pledge and PnP game downloads work that would be great. Eg is it all games and final versions of them? Thank you!

Brendan Stephens

Has there been an update to this yet?

Dr. Kat Crispin

Thanks!

Hal Abbe

Hey Hal, your card gets charged at the first of the month. You're paying for the month that the charge occurs. So if you join sometime in January, your card is charged at the beginning of February and the February rewards will be your first.

Matthew Mitchell

Quick question, do we get benefits the month we join?

Hal Abbe

It's all manual. Often, we can figure it out by Name, Email, and/or Address. But it doesn't hurt to put your KS backer number in the website order or your website order number in your KS survey. That makes it easier to match it up on our end.

Matthew Mitchell

The full names and mailing addresses match up. It doesn't happen often, but when someone uses that pledge level that shouldn't we explain what that level is for and adjust.

Matthew Mitchell

How do you confirm that we are a member when we use the KS $1 pledge for our discount?

Tom Shepherd

Thanks! I have already. It was very helpful! Ordered Liberation using information from that update. Just wondering... how You will par/connect my KS account and my order on buttonshy.com (and patreon account)??

Piotr P

Hey Piotr! Just saw this. Check the first Anthelion update if you haven't already. It has the promo code to order more games there.

Matthew Mitchell

The Spreadsheet is very nice indeed! But I have still few questions: 1. At earlier campigns one could order more ButtonShy games from the site and save on shipping is it a case with this one too? How can I do that?

Piotr P

I suspect the text in the bottom half of the rightmost column is erroneous.

Christopher Wood

Hey Katherine, thanks for pointing that out. I made sure Jason was aware of your comment. He's working on it!

Matthew Mitchell

A little confused. I am $10 backer and want the game and playmat. Is it true that all we save is the $5 shipping? The $20 patrons pay $18 (w/shipping) for the playmat. Using that as a guide, wouldn't the $10 level be $25 ($18+$7)?

Dr. Kat Crispin

Thanks and happy to hear it! We may be reaching the final form of this constant struggle to relay information. :)

Button Shy

Congratulations on another successful Kickstarter! The spreadsheet is super-duper helpful.

Robert Edwards

Whoops! Added it now. Thanks for the heads up. This launch day juggle is always tough.

Button Shy

Thanks for the info! You didn't include a link to the Kickstarter, though (or else Patreon isn't showing it).
