What’s that matter really? I mean you see comments about BOLS here and BGG as well, we are all different folks with different tastes. I use Board game geeks only to try and see its of what comes in the box when manufacturers don’t bother with decent pics or descriptions, I rarely read anything they write.

As for my Graphic Comment, yes I meant graphically VIOLENT.

Curiosity.

Binabik seems to be making a big deal about it, so I'm curious. I don't actually care what (a few users of one) web forum (that I occasionally lurk on) say about (a generalised amalgam of users on) another forum that I happen to participate in. Most times when I venture into N&R or DD I end up putting a new person or two onto ignore, so I'm not exactly going to go to war with BGG to "defend Dakka's honour."

I think that is normal. Even Games Workshop does it. A lot of "Eavy Metal miniatures on the box art is resin, painted by the "Eavy Metal team before the actual plastics in the box go into production. I'd assume it'd be similar for other companies as well.

GW's pre production prints are essentially identical to what you take off the finished sprue.

CMoN's are not.

The only comment I can see about Dakka in the BGG Hate forum is actually positive (people are complaining about being moderated by the BGG moderators when discussing the game and it’s suggested they post here instead as it skilled for discussion of more mature subjects.

We're talking about the same comments, but we obviously interpret them differently.

Dakka was referred to someone wishing for:

"Mr Skeletor wrote:
I wish we'd get a "men and gaming forum" where we could hang out and not have to worry about people coming in being outraged about miniatures or if we are man-children going to hell or whatever.
It's seriously becoming draining"

I guess it can be taken as a positive "that place is mature" or as " it's the right place to circle the waggons and keep those 'others' out, amIrite boys" and I read it as a later going by the context of that thread. And the generally often shocking closemindedness of people doing miniature wargaming. It just stood out to me. Maybe it's KS and several miniature forums juxtaposed to my other main forum which is actually heavily moderated both against hateful posts as well as attacking the responsible posters instead of their arguments. I've read stuff on here dropped in passing, phew.

Sorry for the tangent. My intention is not discussing dakkas honour, I'm just here for sweet news

Aww, a poor oppressed man baby wants a literal safe place!

I only did a search so just saw the one post rating go to Dakka rather than all the posts leading up to it for context, sorry!

another stretch slotted in between previous o0nes

When they're getting only $5-6k, they kinda need to find ways to get momentum going again.

They might not be able to - if they planned this to be a strict "here is a game" KS once all the stretches were unlocked, they may not have all that many models left to reveal.

Well it seems to have stabilized, much like Ice and Fire did. If it makes an average of 8,000 bucks a day until the end and then finishes like Rise of Moloch that'll be about 1.1 to 1.2 million dollars. Which seems like what you would have expected before the campaign started. Except CMON with their huge stretch goals that make it obvious they thought it would make more, just like with Ice and Fire.

Fungus tribe add on is available now.



At least we've got a visually distinct tribe finally.

Things seemed to have actually dipped overnight, but these guys look like they'll take us over the extra board hump and hopefully unlock that remaining prince soon enough.

Maybe CMON will even put the stretch goals at a more attainable level?

Already people talking about dumping pledges since there’s $75 in add ons on top of the $120 pledge.

HATErs gonna HATE?

I never understand why bother pulling pledges so early in a campaign. Why not let it sit and see what happens? It's not like you lose anything in the process.

At least as long as it keeps ticking upward they'll get that prince unlocked and then it's on to newer things.

It's the immediacy of emotion. "I'm paying $120 for fewer miniatures than I expected at this price, and now you want me to pay you even more!?!?! I won't stand for it!"

Though when they're getting charged 2 bucks a pop for board game minis, I can't blame them.

It is the essence of voting with your wallet. Doesn’t make sense, but when it’s looking like an overpriced game and now they have added a third $25 stretch goal which makes an all in at $195 and the gameplay doesn’t look great, it’s really a good way of saying “show me more so I don’t feel like I’m just paying for a name”. I haven’t put my $1 pledge in and if the deal doesn’t get sweeter (more miniatures for a chaos army and less 3D tokens) then I won’t and I’ll just miss out on a couple really cool figures.

This should help pad things out a bit for those wanting more players involved.



At least it's all lumped together. At the very least extra dice are always nice to have around.

Then we get this...





...and the pretty painted version

and the clearly feel the speed is good enough again hence the uninspiring

Could I find $120 US to get a bunch of badass barbarians, sure. Am I willing to admit I'd be buying it just for the minis, yup. Am I gaining to, probably not.

And for the record I think $120 US for the minis alone is a good deal. Just not addicted to KS anymore.

After Sedition Wars, I stopped buying miniatures sandboxes. Otherwise, I'd have kept Blood Rage and Conan, while backing Rising Sun.

LOL, you really know CMON KS is going not as they planed when they start adding SG every 10k,ahahah

Apparently best strategy with CMON is not to support it

My theory (which is mine (: is that CMON plans out their SG's, then "moves around the goal posts" so that backers have *something* to keep them interested every few days. We've seen them stretch the goals further apart, so now it's time to shrink 'em a bit. The reality is that CMON has enough revenue that it doesn't really matter how far apart the SG's are. Mebbe all they're doing is retrieving sunken costs...

CMON might have enough of revenue, but they want profit. It's not that it doesn't matter to them. If campaign was going very good, they would not give you SG every 10k because they have no interest to give you 'free' stuff, they are not charity.

I don't get why the put another random, same-looking clan as the new series of SGs when the campaign is not overly successful anyway. I'd rather see some excotiv monsters/mercenaries added than to have 5 clans that you can barely tell apart. I don't think much more will be happening. I also found it hilarious that they came up with multiplayer rules in a matter of days. Instinctively I'd say that the gameplay will be very mediocre. The only reason for me to back this would be cool minis which they are not handing out yet.

They may be at $10k stretch goal, but when they are breaking the stretch goals up into nibble sized pieces (2-3 different token upgrades) and the tribes being multiple goals as well.

Well, since this is (allegedly) a "Kickstarter Only" game, anything that they had planned to sell *needs* to sell now (and in the PM).

Indeed. I expect the PM will conveniently gather enough funding to unlock more stuff...

Plastic huts to add some pizzazz and cover up the tokens. Huts are 85mm wide and 50mm tall if you're in need of cheap barbarian- type terrain.



Which unlocked a pile of tokens and Youngbloods for another spiky tribe.






And is pushing towards the next goal, the guy who isn't sharing skulls with the rest of the tribe-



...and the master sculpt.



New Necromancer for Zombicide anyone?

Have the PVC minis gone up in quality since Blood Rage? Got that recently and while the sculpts itself are awesome the PVC minis suck a bit. Especially for the smaller ones like the clans and small monsters. The detail is so "washed out" it's not that much fun to paint.

I'm interested in the plant zombies and those huts. Anyone want to let me add on to their pledge? Not sure how we would work shipping though... And if it would be worth it....

No, for CMON KS you have to buy the game before you can get the add ons even in the PM

(although if you know somebody who's backing they can add as many as they like)
