Tiles are in.

Next goal.

As someone new to CMON KS, can I ask, do we expect to see any KS exclusive minis outside the main pledge? I'm not too bothered on missing out on KS exclusive dice and as such, but would like to get all the minis that wont be available later.

Though if the £ tanks any further might have to got off this entirely. At least the fact that it turns out there is no plan whatsoever for what we just voted for means we should still be in the EU when this delivers. Even if it's 2018 or something.

Kinda getting cold feet on this. I have about 10 dungeon crawl games already and am wondering if I really need another...

That's... odd looking. Dropped from 100k to 90k for this stretch?

edit - ah, not, 100k. I thought the tiles were 2040k.

If there is a full-sized add-on it would probably come with a KickStarter exclusive figure but there's no sign of one of those so far, and I can't think of a time they've introduced one this late in the campaign.

Well, the first Zombicide campaign didn't have an expansion. Toxic City Mall was an expansion in the season 2 campaign. That's the kickstarter to compare to, IMO. CMON and GG are more known, but they're testing the waters with a new property.

The Fomorian is very nice, although I'm not quite sure what distinguishes it from an Ogre, aside from name. Visually, though, I always think Formorians from Bisley's Slaine:

I think of either the actual myths they're based on (they're in Mierce Daklands stuff, rather prominently! ) or this guy:


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fomorian_(Dungeons_%26_Dragons)

Anyway, I rather like the look of this one - and appreciate that he's 'free' too!

The background for that monster is... geez.

Uh, yeah. I hope it doesn't make print.

Thanks very much

Random bits to tide us over on this slow Mid-Campaign Monday:

@Paul I.: Well, we're heading towards the final run, so everything is kinda running out. SG look like they will hold, but there are not many add-ons left.

Well, we'd have to hit the mid-campaign slump eventually, and looks like this is it. No reason to panic, we're still chugging along at a very nice pace. I still have a couple of cool optional buys in my pocket, and several stretch goals still to reveal in the 10 days that remain.

Jun 27 2016 on Massive Darkness

@Paul "Honk" Sousa: Not quite. How well Blood Rage did was a bigger surprise, and we had to scramble a lot to keep the campaign going. With MD we knew it could be around the size of a Zombicide campaign, so we are little better prepared for how it's going.

@Christopher Nutt - Incandescent: Yep, I won't forget to put out an add-on soon enough, but we I need to spread them out a little bit now.

While there's been a lot of griping, it's fairly obvious CMON have done a lot of analysis of their previous campaigns and know where this one was likely headed.

In the last few KS that CMON have done there's been a big bad ass or box of bad asses that come out at that the end.

4 Horsemen for The Others
Winter Wolf for Blood Rage
Abominarat (or whatever) for BP

There's some big punches left.

At this point I'll likely only go for an add on with a Kickstarter exclusive. But I'm keen to see what's coming in the final stretch.

The long, slow slog toward the Fomorian continues!

Meanwhile...

Guys, I'm sorry but, as I said from the beginning, there are no dragons lurking in the darkness.

Jun 27 2016 on Massive Darkness

@Pressureman: There might be no dragon, but the shadows still hide some pretty awesome things.

Jun 27 2016 on Massive Darkness

I knew it!

Whether they're unlocks or get repackaged as add ons to generate cash, we'll get to see them.

I don't know what I'd like to see, but generally the last stuff out is super cool (and big!)

Er, we'll get to see what?

Or are you just saying that we'll get some more big stretch goals towards the end?

Same here, Miniature Market/amazon/etc have them the same price as during the campaign, so no real reason to buy 6+ months in advance for no savings. I actually do appreciate the lack of KS exclusives on this. Rum and Bones was a nightmare, with every other add on being exclusive.

Locked down the base pledge + ZBP cards + Doors.

I may double down on the base pledge for the extra figures.

Well, there 'reason' to do so here is to drive up the pledge level, unlock more things, increase the 'value' of the base pledge, etc.

But, I do take your point.

However, if everyone followed that path, far fewer things would get unlocked!

True true. But I got like 20 darklands hosts to buy now lol. Only so much money to throw around right now.

Its not like they won't release it retail later if not unlocked here. Even if it's a little later or they save it to the next kickstarter. Some big bills just hit, so I might have to back out of this one. Only thing I REALLY want out of it is the ZBP crossover cards, so I might have to hit someone up to add those onto their pledge. I'll hang on as long as I can, there might be another way......

New add on - nice Heroes the Hellephant is a bit of a miss for me though, I think it's the arms.

I like the first hero shown, the sword woman or whatever she is, the hellephant is okay, but I can see what they were going for and missed. The others are eh.

I actually really like the Hellephant relative to a bunch of the roamers. It's in my top third anyway. Heroes are more of the same, although the warrior priestess is a pretty nice sculpt.

These Heroes are also nice, too bad they're not going to be in the base package. I wonder that CMoN is done adding things to the $120 pledge?

The current SG is for adding to the base pledge...

Yeah I don't see anything big being added....well no expansion boxes, but maybe we will see something large.

Jun 27 2016 on Massive Darkness

CMON said the above after the Fomorian was revealed, but before the Hellephant box

so that suggests there's one more optional buy (another box? please let it be another mob set!) to come

and several stretch goals if the money come in (who knows I wouldn't be surprised if the darkness gets personified in some way)
