Well Thiago has ruled out a large expansion add on for Massive Darkness so that leaves Enemy box or Hero & Monster box we have 3 Enemy boxes and 3 Hero boxes to date although only 2 Enemy boxes are mob type and there are 3 non KS exclusive heroes not assigned to a set yet.

I will probably get the base game and the Black Plague crossover cards.

If figure that I will wind up getting Zombicide Black Plague before Massive Darkness comes out. Seems like a fun game that my son might enjoy.

That Priest in the add-on the only priest we are getting?

This is what I'm doing, for this reason. I've had my eye on Black Plague for a while and I'll probably get it before this ships. Also they're exclusive so there's no chance of getting them later other than at ebay scalper prices.

I really like the Hellephant. They've been knocking these large monsters out of the park. They're just great. Though again I'll wait for retail for these. The only add on I'm considering is the Ratling box for more mobs, and that I might do after the campaign is finished.

I really do want to see just one more box of mobs. We've got bad humans, bad dwarves, ratmen, goblins and orcs. Plus zombies if you get the crossover cards. One more fantasy archetype would be nice to round it out. Maybe, as said, demons to go with the roamer in the set. Or maybe the other way with generic animal trash mobs.

I like the idea of generic animal trash mobs.

Could go well with our new stretch.



CMON mentioned possibly printing lava on the backs of these, as well as crystal tiles on the back of the lava ones, giving us 6 tiles of new artwork.

Seriously more tiles? Near the end of the campaign too, lame.

Also didnt they say they didnt even know what to put on the back of the molten ones and wed just get reprints from the base game?

Makes these even worse imo

Oohh, more tiles.

They could be padding it out a bit with some stuff they didn't plan. Remember, the last 48 hours of a campaign are usually as crazy as the first 48 hours. We'll hit 3 million easily, so they might have decided to throw in an unplanned padding stretch goal.

That'll be an unpopular opinion here. Who doesn't love more tiles?

Different tiles are good in a dungeon crawl. The layout might be rehashing old tiles but the light and shadow mechanics make them unique in how you use shadow mode in them.

I wasnt aware only popular opinions were allowed. My mistake.

Ended up dropping out. Got plenty of dungeon crawlers already. I'll be back for BP2 for sure though!

Never said it wasn't allowed. Just that it'd be unpopular (and in the minority).

Lame, right?

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?

More big critter things toward the end. The Hellephant and such.

The Elephant is paid, not a SG.

True.

I'm saying that there are bigger monsters/crazier sculpts to look forward to at the end of a KS to help push the last minute sales frenzy. They could be SG or add ons.

The Crystal map tiles are interesting becuase they are the inverse of the regular tiles, and free. I don't know if I would have cared enough to pay for a tile pack, but 6 additional tiles Lava/Crystal are enough to create all new maps

...or both!

They'll be both...

Anyway, I'm OK with more tiles - more variety is a good thing there.

I still hold out hope for one more Mob though!

Still hoping they talk a bit more about "Story" mode before the end.

I still feel like an "easy" stretch goal, is just promising to expand Story Mode beyond whatever initial plans they have. Tell me you'll add a dungeon randomizer, promise to greatly expand your between session town/travel phase... whatever.

And of course... more loot cards, considering they double as diversifiers of the enemies, should've been a goal by now. I'm shocked they skipped that one.

Either way, i'm still in for about $300 right now. :-p

I'm honestly on the edge. I kinda want it but I'm pretty sure I'll almost never play it. So it's a bit of a question mark for me. And it doesn't have the residual value that seems to come with zombicide so resale is less likely.

This one will see heavy use on our game table - I'm in for good!

That all sounds good to me, but this:

sounds like a REALLY good idea too!

I'm going to go post that in the KS comments section and then...watch as it gets drowned out and go unanswered!

Listen, from a logistics POV some items just make sense. The way they've structured loot, each handful of interesting loot cards adds disproportionate gameplay value, as they change up your rewards, and potentially the threat variety of enemies.

If a pile of new minions is financially not viable, you can add just as much diversity with 25 new loot cards, etc... From a business perspective its an easier sell, and for those who can see beyond raw plastic addiction (which I don't begrudge obviously), it adds just as much meaningful play value.

Yeah, I'd love to see an advanced equipment pack that had a bunch more cards and a couple dice that went with them. I think even if there was only one copy of each a third die color for offense and defense would significantly improve the strategy of equipment mixing. They could be less powerful but have extra bams and diamonds or something.

I wish there was an option to buy more of the large roaming monsters we got for free. I would love 2 Nightmare Things, maybe another Ogre Rockbreaker, cockatrix, wearbear, and Fomorian

Well there sort of is... you just buy another pledge, and then sell everything you dont want on ebay. Its just not a very good option.

Looking at some other kickstarter packages that have made their way to ebay, Id say youll break even, even pulling a few models out. Just be bit till you get your money back.

Was the Priest ever addressed? IS the only priest option a add-on Purchase?

As far as I know, CMON have never added extra equipment/ loot cards in to a game, have they?

Maybe they did with Black Plague and the vault weapons, now that I think of it.

I know Arcadia Quest never got any.

I too would love an expanded Story Mode stretch. Just make it work better than Dungeon Saga's, and we're good!

There were also a few specialty weapons added to the original Zombicide KS weren't there? Some pimped-out shotgun, and some other novelty weapon variation?

Its been a while, but I vaguely recall something like that.

Either way, a Story-Mode stretch would really seal the deal for me, much more so than a few more one-off wandering monsters. Miniatures of random-ass creatures I have for days, thanks to Bones, etc... but a meaningful, co-op RPG dungeon-crawl I do not have. :-p

I'm hovering back to cancelling my pledge. for the same reasons. It'll never see the table. I'm getting tired of trying to get my group to try new stuff and it's just wasted money sitting in the cupboard.

You should stay in.

You like it, its a good deal, it looks to be a lot of fun, and I have faith in your ability to charm your friends into playing!

There's also Operation Red Veil that I'd rather spend my hobby money on. Which actually will see use.
