I'm kind of tempted, does it function well as a filler game ? ie a game to roll out at the club every so often ?

I would say no, the demands it places on your headspace put it deep into main game territory.

I'm pretty happy with the campaign so far. If I had to wishlist anything the only thing I want would be more apex monsters. That's about it. Don't mind if they're stretch goals or add ons. The overwhelming bulk of the current line is accounted for, and I even got my boy Tyrranix making a return in plastic.

Plus maybe an option for more non- unique buildings as an add on. Those are always nice to have.

Well, given the options from previous Mythic KS projects, I could see that actually being a thing. Actually, offering Faction Unit Boosters in the pledge manager would probably see a TON of extra $$$...

Im feeling the weight of the cost, but i am still all in. If this was a game that was still being developed or some other unknown quantity, i would laugh at them loudly and publicly about their hubris.

But, monpoc is a good game, and im glad i can finally get my own stuff to play with now instead of borrowing friends toys to play with.

I really want two of every building though. The prospect of buying two all in pledges is not something i would like to admit to any sane person that i am contemplating such as a valid purchasing option.

I hope they offer a way to get duplicate buildings without forced to get duplicate monsters added.

It may not be as easy as many beleive to sell duplicate monsters when the market will be so saturated. I think id be lucky to give them away. So that means being stuck with duplicate monsters.

Using them as hyper forms isnt an option, since ill be quite done wanting to paint them by the time monster #57 crosses my painting desk. I guess they could make cool dooorstops.

I don't think the bases are so important that you NEED 2 of them. Just order a pair of the building add on if you want some duplicates and you'll have far more than you need anyway.

Nah, of course there is no need.
But its also fair to say that the bases arent just bases either. They add to the gameplay regardless of who takes them. Not all bases are equal *glares at jungle fortress* but theres an argument to be made that two of each building is a decent place to be without wishing more were on hand.

I'll proxy if it comes to that. Or fiddle with a building draft / first turn house rule.

Also, compared to V1, the V2 stats are on cards, separate from the minis. Assets won't be in the ks (or so someone said Mythic said!) so we're going to either buy the PP set or proxy.

Fwiw, I already use Toob World Landmark s and Around the world for Eldritch Horr or.

Hmm good point. These prices on the ks are a good deal, but 3d printing does offer more flexibility, visual variety without the hassle of being stuck with duplicate monsters.

Also, just generally speaking, most of the building bonuses in 2.0 are spread in such a way that a variety of buildings is better than redundancy. The 4x limit was one of the big turn offs for me initially until I saw that competitively, it was pretty rare to even see 2 of something in lists.

... except for Media Buildings... lol.

But hopefully that'll be long dead by the time this KS delivers.

I actually like the media building rules. If they made it a unique status, a rule which now only exists in v1, it would be much less of a stupid problem.

Of course, uci can copy it, and such, but thats part of the joy on monpoc is creative synergies.

The action isn't what breaks the Media Company; its the passive that doesn't even require capturing the building that makes it completely abusable to drop all over the opponent's half of the table.

Thats what i mean. If it was a unique, like monuments were, then that would curtail its abuse. Even just one is still nasty disruption, but manageable.

Right, but UCI can only copy the action, so it can't copy the problem part.

Ahh right. Yep. I understand now. Totally my mistake. Thanks for the correction. Helps me save face during actual games.

All-In Pledge is up for $449, and includes three new add-ons which seem to have all of the remaining units.

MSRP of essentially the entire line is about $4100, so yeah... Its a top tier, excellent tabletop game for about 87% off.

Oh wow. Smashville is in there. I have always been curious about that campaign stuff.

Anyone have experience with it yet?

Media building rl. Just add logo. V1 monpoc publishing house is the same sculpt as apartments. For a skyscraper, add an antenna?

Well there are the rest of my Martian Units!

I'm tempted to go All-In but i really don't need EVERYTHING, even tho I'm only 150 short of actually going all in.

I definitely think I will use the 3d printer to get leftovers for this one. There are really good Media Building proxies already available, I might even sculpt my own Skyscraper (then sell it for cash! heeheehee...)

I'd have preferred if I got the Martian units by buying the Martian expansion, I might also use the 3d printer and Necron ship files for that. I'm excited about this game, but not $500 excited.

> I'm tempted to go All-In but i really don't need EVERYTHING, even tho I'm only 150 short of actually going all in.

Yep. Compared to the core, the add-ons don't seem to be overpriced, a rarity among KS.

I pledged about $150 for the core and buildings. May wait for the PM for stat cards and second map. I doubt I'll play this game more than twice. not that that's stopped me before.

The core has 18 monsters, 79 units, 14 apartments, and 4 buildings. Each faction add-on has 5 monsters, 15 units, and 2 buildings.

Core: $120. Roughly same price as 4 add-ons.
BR: $40. Price from Crusher pledge.
Factions: $35 x6 = $210
Buildings and Units: $30 x3 = $90
Maps: $15 x2 = $30
Total: $490 with Crusher discount of $10.
All-in: $450.

The PM will be open for awhile, so I guess it depends on how the holidays go and what other KS I'll be backing...

Saw someone paint the 8th dimension figures in iridescent paints. Not bad...!

I picked up the Veteran Pledge, Map Packs, a couple of the add ons that I didn't have much of and the monster mash. Still tempted to go all in simply because there's often one model or something I kind of want and its cheaper here than retail currently.

That's about where I am. Considering an add on is almost the cost of a single resin monster, it's hard not to resist the temptation of just grabbing a bunch of them.

Maybe I'll just switch to an all- in pledge by the time the PM hits. Something to think about I guess.

I still hope for some big fancy million dollar stretch goal. It feels weird having a Mythic campaign that doesn't have gigantic playing pieces showing up in the campaign. Yes, I know it's not exactly their IP, but I've been spoiled on some of the monsters from Joan of Arc and Mythic Battles!

The Monsterpocalypse models are pretty big, and the Apex figures are almost 150mm tall.

I went all in.

My only regret is that a couple factions i like more than others are underrepresented. But thats pps fault and not mythic. Otherwise, im not to bothered by how some units are a bit scattered around different boxes.
I still dont know wether i should get a second set of buildings or not though.
Regardless, thete will be plenty of time to add to more than that during the pledge manager in january.

This has been the weirdest KS that I've ever followed, I think!

I guess it doesn't help that we have an idea of what they could be releasing.

I started off thinking that the Martians looked great... cool, we get one in the Core Box. You've piqued my interest, I'll wait to see what the addon box looks like. Hmm... It's packed with the Mutates, I have no interest in them. Hey ho, fine...

But I really, really love the '60s War of the Worlds flyers! What about them? Another addon box? Ah well, cheaper than getting them from PP. But look at all the stuff I get in that box as well - I could get the add-ons to go with them, too!

I don't think that I've ever felt so manipulated into getting all of the stuff, it's ok, my will is strong...

Mind you, those 8th Dimension guys are like the Quintessons from Transformers Cyberverse... Dammit!

Are these slated for retail at all?

Keep in mind, the game has kind of a tag team thing going on where you don't really play a faction as much as a blend of factions. 8th and Martians are a pretty great looking combo though.
