Hello everyone,
We are very happy to announce that BackerKit is now live! You can go in and choose your options for your pledge, and make any adjustments you need to.
We have also opened a section for late pledges, so if you missed out on the Kickstarter you still have a chance to pick up some of the items!
The pledge manager link and information should be sent to your e-mail, so please take a look.
The late pledges section can be found here.
Please note that customer support will be unavailable for the weekend, so any questions you may have can be addressed early next week.
Thank you everyone, and we look forward to continuing to update you on the progress of The Other Side!

Hello everyone,

We can announce that late pledges will be available:
- Retailer - Will remain the same
- Champion - Now $100
- Commander - Now $175
- Dual Commander - Now $315

We also got a few new Infiltrators in! These are some rough shots, we'll do a better look at them soon, but I wanted you to see.
We'll see you in the pledge manager next week!

Hey everyone,
We've gone through and updated all the cards on The Other Side's website, giving you a chance to look at the rules for unit for the Kickstarter as up to date as they can be! Head on over and check out how everything is looking. (As a note, generic Assets and Stratagems can be found under the Syndicate sections.)
I also wanted to take a moment to share a few TOS model reviews in case you missed them:

We hope everyone has a great weekend!

Hello backers! The weekend is getting started, and we wanted to take some time to thank all of the backers and community that have helped us make The Other Side a reality.
With your support, we have grown The Other Side up, helping us pay for the production costs necessary to bring the game to you at the highest quality. We couldn't have launched this game the way it deserves to be launched without you. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!
$325,000 Reached! Stretch Goal Unlocked!
We hit another Stretch Goal right down in the last little bit! This unlock gives all Commander level and above an Adjunct for their chosen Allegiance. You can check out the sculpts in update #30.
This is another Adjunct model, filling out your forces even more. Dual Commanders will get 2 (one for each Allegiance) and Tyrants will get 4 (one for each Allegiance).
Another $15 value for your pledge, and another Scrip for your games!

Let's talk about the end of the campaign:
Pledge Manager
Within the next few weeks, all of our backers will receive information on how to access their pledge manager, making their selections for Allegiances and add ons.
We'll leave the pledge manager open for some time, giving individuals a chance to change their pledge information or add new units to their order. Backers will be able to increase their pledge, add new pledge levels, and choose new add ons, should they desire to do so.
More information on the pledge manager will be available soon.
Shipping
We know that shipping costs are important to all of our backers. We will provide shipping estimates later in the pledge manager.
The reason for the delay is simple: we want to get you the most accurate costs that we can, which requires us to have a better idea of the size and weight of our models (particularly the Titans). We do not want to charge you more than it costs.
We will be using the shipping hubs identified on the campaign page. When we ship to one of the hubs, we will pay all the costs associated with it (no amount of the cost will be passed on to backers).
Late Pledges
We are going to allow late pledges for The Other Side. If you didn't hear about the campaign until it was too late or you didn't have the funds at the time, there's still a chance to get involved!
Late pledges will be handled through our pledge manager, and will be made available after the pledge manager itself becomes available. More details on late pledges will be forthcoming, so stay tuned!
Pledge Manager Stretch Goals
We are really happy to announce that we will allow the additional funding added in the pledge manager to contribute to our Stretch Goals!
As late pledges comes in and smaller pledges are increased to bigger ones, we will continue to see the total rise. The final funding total across Kickstarter and the pledge manager will be used to determine which Stretch Goals are unlocked.
So make sure to get the word out to your friends that there's still time to join in the campaign and contribute to the Stretch Goals. You can even get them involved in the playtest to show them how great the game is.
Playtesting
Next week, we will be reaching out to backers at the Champion level and above and inviting them to join playtest. We will do this via a Kickstarter update, so keep an eye on this Kickstarter and your e-mail.
You will be required to provide us with your Wyrd forum name to participate in the playtesting. If you do not have a forum name, you can create one here (I believe the answer to the question, if you need one, is Ramos).
Once we have it, we can start adding you to the forum and provide you with the files you need to playtest. This should get everyone started within the next couple of weeks!
Wrap Up
Again, we wanted to thank everyone who has joined us in this amazing process. We will continue to make updates to the campaign until the project is shipped (albeit less often), so stick around for more information on what's happening with The Other SIde.
Thank you, and have a great weekend!

Limited Edition Add Ons
over 7 years ago
– Fri, Jan 20, 2017 at 09:07:48 PM
Hello backers!
We have only a few hours left in the Kickstarter, but we wanted to make a special announcement before it wraps up.
We are going to make the Limited Edition Thrace and Limited Edition Binh Nguyen available to backers as add ons only available at the Dual Commander or Tyrant Level for $25 each. You will be limited to a maximum of 2 per sculpt.
If you are a Dual Commander or Tyrant level backer, you will have access to these models! This includes anyone who adds one of these pledge levels in the pledge manager after the campaign ends.
So hey, let's look at some rules! And an updated card template...
Samantha Thrace is a powerful Guild operative. She is a Champion, so she is able to pass off damage to nearby Squads. She also has a Tactics value, giving that extra bit of resource oomph to your forces.
Her powerful Modified Axe can do some damage, and the card discard is a nice bonus effect to maintain a solid advantage of your enemy. She also has a nice ability to make another Fireteam attack, and, if they are Guild, they gain a bonus.
Flipping to Glory, you can see what an amazing fighter Thrace is. The ability to draw cards, make the opponent discard, and get an autohit with her sidearm are powerful. Coupled with Defense 7 and Armor 8, Thrace is a force on the battlefield.
So what about for the Court of Two?
Binh Nguyen is a Champion like Thrace, but also has the Ghost rule to help mitigate incoming damage. His powerful Shred Soul attack also targets Willpower, which in some cases makes it even more devastating.
Sometimes, it might make sense to let out a Deafening Shriek, potentially damaging all non-Court of Two Fireteams near Binh.
When Gloried, Binh Nguyen is even more powerful, his Shred Soul gaining more Triggers (including making his card draw automatic). An increase in his defenses and Tactics also makes him a nice addition to any force.
---
Both of these units are available for 3 Scrip to your forces and utilize the Allies special rule (much like Squads hired by Dual Allegiance Commanders). Syndicate models can only be hired into forces whose Allegiance match their Syndicates. In other words, Samantha Thrace can go with Abyssinia or King's Empire. Binh Nguyen can go with the Cult of the Burning Man or the Gibbering Hordes.
These are Limited Edition sculpts. Regular versions of the sculpts will be available some time after The Other Side is available in retail.
Remember, these are only available for purchase if you're at the Dual Commander or Tyrant pledge levels!
Thank you everyone for your support!
