its so early in dev that the line isn't even on the soda pop site. The guy at the booth told me beta rules would be up in about 4 - 6 weeks. They started a mailing list to inform us when the new stuff will be back, they are completely out, not just at the show.

I was told in addition to the 5 minis you see, the bad guys would include
Kobolds
Skeletons
A Vampire (evil) hero

The dwarf is crazy funny
Nice pics.

Those are Awesome!! I got to have them!!

Facebook is blocked at work, so I can't see Navarro's pics! Can someone post them here?

Also, do the 3 pics that MadNes posted contain all of the miniatures? What about the lizard-type ones that someone alluded to?

So Very Cool!!!!

The Kobolds are the baddies. looked nice but not as interesting to me.

The kobold wizard was mis-cast, so none were available :(

I love this stuff. I should have played the demo to get
the treasure chests.

Maple story? Srsly though, looks awesome!

The game is kind of spacehulkish? The terrain seems like it.

There's the art from the package, if anyone's interested. I'd have taken more of the thief, but the painted ones posted earlier are really better for showing off the model than anything I'd take now.
Definitely looking forward to the email telling me they've got more,

I can see this turning into a huge success.

Very smart sodapop!

Wow this is like Space Marines with polo-shirts and sunglases.

A+ those are friggin awesome!

So what is the betting luna will have all the figs on release I want to see luna paint them all.
And I need the dwarf thinking about the others.

I am actually really interested in these, too, even though it's not usually my style! Maybe I could get my wife to like these!?

(On second thought, they will probably remind her of "toys" even more than my manly-tough-guy models currently do...)

I bet you could. We had quite a few wives and girlfriends excited about the range being something they could enjoy too.

We're just getting back into place after Gencon and then we'll give all of you some pics and more info soon.

Thanks so much to everyone who stopped by the booth. It was a great first Gen-Con!


Edit: ScrapYard Armory has a great little review of the demo we were giving as well as a few more pictures.

Ooooh, that sounds really fun. I wish I could have actually gotten a demo in, sadly there was way too much to do at Gen Con. Definitely looking forward to rules and info and whatnot though.

Just stumbled on more SD miniatures but this time from warhead miniatures...

http://www.warheadsthegame.com/warheads-medieval-miniatures

Still interesting twist yet I think I will just watch how all this SD stuff unfolds before jumping in.

Is there any possibility of them selling the board? It's genius and makes a change from the hirst arts and warhammer quest stuff.

Whilst we shouldn't encourage the further infestation of Otakus on our great human race, I suppose someone had to cash in on it. Looks like a fantasy Space Hulk on acid + Chibis.

Not that interested in the minis (they look pretty nasty sans the Dwarf), but the gaming system looks like it might be pretty alright if it is corridor fighting. If I ever get into Mordheim, I'd use it as a second ruleset for the warbands.

I probably won't play the game, but I'll probably be collecting a couple of the miniatures.

Awesome! I'm going to copy and paste the text and pics here for those too lazy to click the link

Super Dungeon from Soda Pop Miniatures

The crew from Soda Pop Miniatures was in a booth with Cool Mini Or Not with their lineup of products and a curiously delicious looking 3D game board (I swear it looks like cotton candy from a distance). This game had the best pitch of any game I demo’d while at the con. That’s pretty good considering this was the last day when most vendors have lost their voice and perhaps some of their motivation.

So I approach the booth interested in the colorful table and the miniatures. The vendor asks me if I have time for a demonstration and I say yes. Last day of the convention, why not?

“You’ve already played this game.”, he says to me.

I pause long enough to give him a funny look. He senses my confusion and goes in for the kill. This game is the physical embodiment of the 8-bit/16-bit classic dungeon crawls we all grew up playing on our Nintendo and Sega machines. From the heroic party to the Kobold hordes, every miniature and gameplay mechanic has a nostalgic purpose.

In the quick demo, I chose two heros (the dwarf fighter and the mage) and my mission was to knock out the two monster generators on the board. Each generator spawns up to four Kobolds each turn. Hilarious combat and gratuitous loot gathering ensues.

For every three monsters you kill on your turn you get to pick out of the loot deck. Each card has it’s stats in a particular orientation to denote its slot. A fully loaded hero can use four items, one on each of its sides.

About half way through the dungeon my Dwarf was taking heavy damage and was having a difficult time dealing with the Kobold Shaman and Knights. I needed potions in a bad way. And now for a hook. Each attack has a particular color describing a custom die to be thrown. All die have stars that indicate how much power an attack does but there are also hearts on red dice and potions on blue dice. If you manage to do damage to a monster with hearts or potions showing on other dice, you get healed or receive potions!

My choice was clear, equip a staff of thwacking (+3 blue dice) and bop all of the weakest Kobolds on the head until they spit out enough potions. My newly healed Dwarf cleaved his way into the pack giving the Mage enough time to sneak into range of the last generator and blast it for the win.

All together this was a super super cute game. I think even my wife would love to play it just for the aesthetics. The combat system is unique and has a fresh nostalgic feel that you will instantly understand and make good use of. The standard game will have one player play the Heros while the other takes the role of the Dungeon Keeper.

I had lots of fun in the brief demonstration and a refreshing break from the QuickStrike beatdown I received late last night.

Mmmm, custom dice! Tasty . And I hope they do a tutorial on how they made that incredible board!!! I would definitely make one if I got into this game... and it does seem that it might appeal to the wife, after all (as long as she gets to play the "good" guys)

If they do a tutorial on the board and the characters, I will love them forever. Probably to an unhealthy degree. I've said it before, but the studio paint jobs from Soda Pop make me sick with envy.

My wife loves these characters, especially the rogue, and said she'd love to play whatever involved that mini.

I wonder how a larger game with more than one person as the 'good guys' would work out...

Edit: And I can't wait to see the other monsters!

Agreed! It looks like they read this thread, at least once... maybe popular opinion will win out and they'll write something about how they did it

We ran several demos with 2-3 players, each player controlling a single hero. It works out quite well. Game play is fast enough that there is not a lot of down time. The ability to interrupt the action to use a potion or for any character to pick up a heart or potion when it is "dropped" keeps you paying attention even when it is not your turn.

One demo I ran using the dwarf and mage really performed marvelously as the dwarf player was very mindful to use his potions to take any hit that was too powerful for the mage's armor while the mage would use her white mage potion to heal any damage that snuck through his formidable defenses.


As for a tutorial on how to make the dungeon, I've been positively barraged with requests. Seems I'd be foolish not to! I took a few pictures of the creation process as Chris and I were making it but not really enough to constitute a tutorial. I will look to making a new board complete with a comprehensive tutorial sometime after we return from PAX. I'll make sure to let everyone know when we start posting it.

Also for those of you who missed our official announcement -

Thank you one and all for making our first Gencon a smashing success. For those of you not able to attend, Soda Pop Miniatures had a great weekend showing off our new toys, giving sample games of a project in progress, and sharing the good news. Since we do a lot of teasing on our page... we can at least let you in on what we were sharing on the show.

Soda Pop miniatures has not one, but TWO games in production. For all of you patiently collecting and painting our miniatures, 2011 will bring you, Relic Knights - Darkspace Calamity, our skirmish game system for anime themed mayhem on your tabletop. The rest... well, we surprised our fans on the show with a new line of fantasy miniatures, Super Dungeon Explore, and completely SOLD OUT, much to our surprise.

Keep your eyes here for updates and news about all the exciting releases planned for the coming months and 2011.

And last but certainly not least I leave you with a delightfully blurry picture of some upcoming Relic Knights models that were in our Gen Con display case.


Thanks,
Deke

Okay, I'm very much interested in SUPER DUNGEON EXPLORE ^_^ right now.

I tried to buy the board off him, you think the pics look nice...

Cant wait for the tutorial, although now I have to get an airbrush. He mentioned the osl was done with an airbrush, and it looked phenomenal
