Yes, I've only ever played it by myself upto now as it's a game that requires a lot of time to play and if you want to run a campaign with people a regular set of people who will keep coming.
It's pretty simple to play solo, you just control all four surivivors during a showdown rather than one, and the settlement phase is a bit less interactive as you make all the choices.

From a strategic point of view it might be best played solo, you loose the social interaction and the arguments over the tough choices witch is a core experience of the game, but play more optimally.

I look at my gambler's lantern as ten less start collecting boxes, or however my impulsive GW spending might end up getting used.
We won't count how many start collecting boxes I've purchased in 2016 that are currently unopened, unbuilt and brand new still in my garage.
It can probably be counted on at least two hands too.

Oh, I know. I've been sitting on three Start Collecting: Flesh Eater Courts, and one of their big collection box, for a year. We're all guilty of that sin, but seeing it in one shot, and one time is still jarring.

Lets just say I have about 4x the value of my Gamblers Lantern pledge worth of Space Marines in piled up sprues and boxes and I haven't even started assembling anything yet.
On a similar note apart from the starting Surivivors, White Lion, Screaming Antelope, Butcher, Spidicules and Gorm all my 1st release Kingdom Death stuff is also sat in boxes untouched.

Really heartening to see the crossover material. Project is amazing, that's for sure!
He keeps going it could go over 11 or 12 before you know it. Don't dare tell your Pathfinder players about the update...

So I want to make sure i'm not confused, but despite being silly ( I LOATHE Dragon Ball Z), the Super Sayjin expansion DOES have significant gameplay value right? It seems to, but that and the Pathfinder bundles seem to inhabit this weird space of having a lot of gameplay content, but also barely fitting thematically.
Does the Pathfinder item come with a God Frogdog pledge? Or not because its a cross-over?

No, because it is a cross over, the super sayan is included in the god frogdog though.
The front page has been updated and yes, the Abyssal Woods expansion is included on 777+ tier pledges as expected for a new expansion.

It's going to be an exciting finish. Who knows how much stuff is still lurking in the shadows.
As this thing reaches a fever pitch and we see another expansion add to how a previous one is used (Spicules + Abyssal Woods, Lion God + Silver City), I wonder if we'll see something that will bolster the use of the Lonely Tree.
At this point that's probably the least used expansion. Will we see something expand upon it?
Abyssal Woods seemed like a great spot to do it, but Poots said the tree is very far removed from the Woods themselves, so that's a bust.

No offense to those of you who are all-in but I hope that's it for expansions, I'm already having epic delay flashbacks.
I do expect to see something nice for the double lantern on the Gambler's Chest, possibly the King or Storm Knight as a nemesis monster, although there are very valid arguments against either of those.

Welp, there go all my plans. The Abyssal Woods expansion is just too good to pass up. That much content would be a good deal at $200; at $150 it's a steal. Plus, I already have the flower knight and spidicules to complete the campaign.

I had an opposite reaction; I'd rather spend $200 in 2-3 years after it's been fully developed than $150 now. Having really looked through the expansions over the last day and thinking about adding 1 or 2 in, I think Silver City is most compelling at this point. As a solo-only player, I find the mid game to be the hardest part to stay mentally engaged, so if there's something that completely flips that part of the game on its head, I'm in.

Quick question for KD vets. How bad, and/or game effecting are the expansion's typos? Boardgamegeek says that the cards in existing expansions frequently feature typos, some of which effect the game.
With Poots confirming that expansions reprints won't see any fixes, I am just wondering if this ranges from "normal folks won't even notice", to "actually compromises playability"?

Assuming it will remain a 200$ cost with the stuff included I am not sure 2 years down the line it will cost only 200$.

Oh man, just realized this is the 4th most funded Kickstarter of any kind ever! Unfortunately the top 3 all had trouble delivering, but Exploding Kittens wasn't far behind and delivered fantastically (the limited scope helped, of course). I think Poots has really learned but I'd be focusing on the earlier deliverables and not the ones years out if you have to choose what to pledge for! Those of you pledging for everything, it should certainly be a fun journey though  especially getting multiple shipments as you go.

Man... it is probably good my wife has such a tight clutch on the purse strings, because the 2000$ ALL THE THINGS pledge is looking really tempting lately. I think I can keep myself to only 450$, but the Butcher pinup basically demanded 15 more $. That's the first pinup I have really dug in a while!

It won't be a problem soon. With the Death Chicken update, they shifted more than 120 God Frog-Dog Pledges in an hour. There's only a handful left now.

The Abyssal Woods...so much awesome in that one expansion.
I really do hope he lets us up our pledges in the PM...

I grabbed one of them just in case. The goblin dragon thing pushed me over the edge. I don't want all the new expansions but I figure I'll just sell off the ones I'm not interested in once they arrive.
Anyone know what is going on with the Lantern Festival? Should we be expecting it to show up tomorrow?

With the amount of all in pledges, it makes me wonder if it would be easier/ financially more viable to bundle some of this stuff up as new core games.
The Abyssal Woods seems like almost an entire core game in an expansion as it is.

That's a good point Highlord. Really with all these alternate campaigns and almost total conversion expansions, it is basically 2 or 3 games all told. You even need Spiducules and Flower night for Abyssal Woods anyway, so one could probably do well just putting those all together as an entire other game that can stand on its own or merge with KD 1.5. I wonder why the didn't go that way. Come to think of it, I suppose not many games go that way anymore?

Yahoo news has an article. Ignore the embedded video, it has nothing to do with the article. It's Yahoo, what do you expect?
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/board-game-raises-over-10-154818639.html
Board game raises over $10 million, becomes one of the most successful Kickstarter campaigns ever
A board game has raised $10 million on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter.
It's a cooperative, immersive, tabletop board game in which players struggle to survive in a post-apocalyptic world peopled with sexy pin-up characters. But still, it's a board game.
The crowdfunding campaign for Kingdom Death: Monster 1.5 launched strong on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. It set Kickstarter records by raising its first million in only 19 minutes , faster than any project ever before on the popular crowdfunding platform.
Currently, with more than $10 million raised and a bit over a day left in the campaign, the game is thefifth most funded project ever to run on Kickstarter. The other top ten highest earning products include Pebble smartwatches, the "coolest cooler," a deluxe travel jacket and a tiny desk toy called a Fidget Cube.
New York City-based game designer and founder of Kingdom Death Adam Poots is, unsurprisingly, excited. Earlier today, he announced to his campaign backers, "I am f---ing pumped!"
Poots says he has raised double-digit millions because he works hard and follows his passion. Also, he is motivated by the support he feels from his fans.
He tells CNBC, "I attribute my success to all the amazing/terrible Japanese cartoons I've watched that have taught me to never give up, do what's in my my heart and leave the rest to God or fate or whatever, be a genius of hard work and not to believe in myself ... but to believe in the people that believe in me."
Poots expects to be able to deliver all elements of the game by December 2020.

Yeah, that occurred to me as well. When the update first dropped, I skimmed over the price and went straight to the contents. When I scrolled back up to check the price, I was shocked that it wasn't at least $200. I'd imagine an expansion of that size, with so many monsters, including a Dragon King-sized one, to be at least $300 at retail. Poots' estimate seems a little optimistic to me.

On the bright side, he's got enough money to cover it. : P
