    In a perfect world, we’d hit a nice round page count here at the same time as we hit 20k. Sadly, I do t think we can keep up this pace. ;)

    for this to be truly limited time collectable I'm gonna need a numbered and signed certificate of authenticity with each unit. preferably #1 of 25,000

    At this rate it I don't need to count anymore the number of backers are increasing at a faster rate. We will hit 20,000 in no time.

    There's some incorrect information here. HeroQuest had 16 stretch goals - one every $200k from $1.2M up through $4.0M, with a second bonus at $3.0M. The final total at the end of the campaign (6 Nov. 2020) was a bit over $3.7M, so it fell short of the two final goals - an extra gargoyle at $3.8M, and an extra expansion designed by Joe Manganiello, complete with a quest book, a unique dragon miniature, and additional tiles for the board.

    As far as we knew, that was the end of the story, until this tweet by Manganiello a month ago:

    https://twitter.com/JoeManganiello/status/1435998575268282375

    What he reveals is that the entire expansion is being included when the sets ship. The quest book, the dragon, the tiles, everything. It's a full inclusion of the final tier, even though it wasn't achieved in the campaign. Keep in mind that this was also right around the same time (might have even been the same day) that they announced the project would begin shipping later this month, so it truly was an out-of-the-blue announcement at the 11th hour that no one was expecting.

    As for the other tier that was missed, someone asked about that on Twitter. That tweet has since been deleted, but you can see the official response here:

    https://twitter.com/heroquest/status/1436066237658828803

    So we don't know for sure yet, but they seem to be hinting that the extra gargoyle might end up being included as well.

    I should be asleep getting ready for work not burning through the last 25% of my phone data plan, but this is a unique moment.
