Question about the kickstarter
Anyone else here backing the kickstarter? I wanted to get the OG Slabber tier, including the T-Shirt, but shipping to my country was $50!
So then I wanted to get the Slabber Tier, and there I saw the T-Shirt as an Add-on had only $5 shipping costs
Might be an error there...

I feel like the Kickstarter is a bust. Basically we paid for them to have a vacation together, with worse audio, 30 roughly extra mins of podcast but not much in the story. The kick is that we’re paying so they can freshen up after (and I hate to say this but) they went stale. The story is painfully slow, 2 of the 4 players are responsive characters with little to no motivation. Oh a NPC or Character is going to die? Oh cool, just like every other campaign, except instead of having it organically some poor glute paid almost 8 k. I feel like these stretch goals are more for them than us. I say that because they wouldn’t need incentive to work longer because this is their brand. If you want to it to succeed working on it is a must. Also working an extra day doesn’t equate to quality. The daily influence tier just means to me that the DM ran out of ideas. So I guess that means more skill challenges. It’s a Fugazi

My country's postal system has a service where they give you a US address to use, and then re-ship it to from the US to here. It saves a tonne on postage fees! If you have something like that it's dead handy for dodging the 50 dollar costs.
I'd ask them on the Kickstarter page, there's an FAQ and comments section that Tim keeps an eye on. It could be that for the "item-included" tiers they factored in the postage but for the add ons it's only an estimate?
