At the rate this is going, there will be no more stretch goals left to unlock by the end of the day. Only two goals remain.

@Marc Radle on twitch a clip of someone speaking Draconic was played. Is that clip available? I can’t seem to find it.

It was attached to second backer update email, if you got that. If not, PM me, and I can try sending it to you.

Almost at $600k now.

Anyone have an estimate of adoption based on 4700+ backers?

What are you looking for, an estimate for the final result? Usually around 2.5 - 3 times the first three days, so somewhere in the 1.7 to 2M range is likely

More like how many

More like if anyone can make an educated guess as to how many people will be playing it. I know it’s probably impossible, but it’s easy to get caught up in big dollar amounts and not pay attention to people (as with too many things, come to think of it).

Mind you, I am making this up as I go along, this is far from accurate. It’s reasonable to expect 15k backers by the time the KS is done. This tends to increase by the time the KS gets delivered. A rough estimate for that is that sales double, so we are in the 25-30k range.

Then you obviously still have sales after the release, don’t have any good predictions there, maybe double it again? Now we are at around 50k, give or take.

Not everyone buying will be playing. Not everyone playing will have bought a copy. Do we have some industry average for that? I don’t know of one.

Not bad for an indie, a drop in the bucket for WotC…
