Why are there no original Romero protagonists yet presented? No Ben, Peter, Roger...

I'm shocked that you would suggest that GG would just go and blatantly copy characters from films. Shocked I tell you!

Stupid question perhaps, but for someone who hasn't played Season 1, I was wondering what you can use those extra spawn cards for?

A the moment I'm only pledged to 100$ + for all the extra survivors - But is there an idea in pledging extra to get a set of tiles from Season 1?
Could I then play the Season 1 missions with the survivors from Season 2?

The extra spawn cards change the way the game plays, the Walk of the Dead cards for example only spawn walkers if you want that Dawn of the Dead type game.

The "Walk Of The Dead 2" contains 6 additional extra activation and sewer spawn cards, the other 6 get a little worse than usual from the Yellow to the Red level. Fatties and Runners come in greater numbers as well. This makes the game harder.

In the "Toxic Crowd set" and "Angry Zombies set" the Toxic and Beserker Zombies come in greater numbers, in order for you to use your extra zombie supplies as you see fit.

You can mix the extra cards into the regular spawn deck or if your really hardcore just use the extra cards on their own.

I guess you could just get the Season 1 tile set and use it with season 2 and the Season 1 pdf rules only problem I can see is if the equipment cards are significantly different - they haven't revealed them yet and Season 2 is more melee orientated of course you could just download the app and get around that problem as it has all the equipment cards as well. The zombie spawn deck will also be different and won't be balanced for the first games scenarios. So yeah that would work if you need to watch the budget but it may not be properly balanced.

Next set of Stretches

Ross (Walter) .... $10






Gary (The Dude) .... free


hmmm auto append has joined my posts

I feel like the survivors are really going to tie the game together.

Is that Kurt Cobain with the shotgun? *smirks*

If so that's in exceptionally bad taste. (awesome).

I keep looking forward to the optional figures but after waiting a few days I end up not upping my pledge. The only one that I'm even considering is Fred.

It's nice to have the options but I'm underwhelmed as far as the optional survivors go, but some of the free ones are quite nice. Still can't wait for this over all!

It's The Dude from the Big Lebowski. The John Goodman knockoff is from that movie too.

Were the Walk of the Dead card different? Hmm. I just shuffled them into my regular season 1 deck...

Maybe thats why seven zombies spawned right by the exit last scenario...

Ahh yeah I see it now. Though now I think of it, I think I like the Cobain idea much better.

Those new survivors

Nah if it were Cobain he'd have the barrels in his mouth.


The appearance of the Dude however is total awesomesauce.

Takes 'Zombivor' to a new level.

MOAR !!! Survivors !!

Survivors are my favorite stretch goals. They change the way the game is experienced. Having 30+ Survivors now completely expands the replay possibiliites of any given scenario. Then you can always make new scenarios...

I'd rather see a cartoon Dave Grohl. Not to mention Jack Black and KG.

We still haven't got "Wilcox".

OVER THE LINE!

Say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least they weren't trying to eat your brain.

I am the Walrus.

Ok... might sound like a dumb question but I've never been involved in a kickstarter, however, I have to have those Ross and Gary minis for when I do finally play the game... how do kickstarters work and how do I get those minis?

Cool, $160 will get me what Im looking for and more

I guess the other question to ask is once the kickstarter is over, you cant get those characters anymore?

Supposedly no, though time will tell. They have so far stuck to their guns on not releasing the first set, though we will see this convention season, how much they give away.

The KS exclusive characters won't show up at retail

(they may show up at conventions, or as competition prizes)

otherwise you'd have to hunt them down on Ebay

And allot of times convention exclusives aren't that uncommon or valuable in the end.

$1,240,000 done

Man 3 extra aboms! While it obviously is because of the huge amount they have gotten compared to the first round, I must say they sure seem quite generous compared to yesteryear!

Nick, Dave, and El Cholo are fetching $75 to $90 each on Ebay.

If the Season 2 ones sell for $20 they would still be worth the investment

Yeah double your money is still a good return. I think for season 2 the best way of making money if that's what you want to do will be to get the matching sets so Lea and Ralph, Ross and Gary and sell them as a set later. Fred should be popular as well I think the interesting survivors are only getting added now and later, I'm kind of indifferent about them adding more with 39 survivors the novelty has worn off - won't stop me getting them but I'd like to see something new or more unique now.

Season 3 is going to be Survivorcide where you play a zombie trying to escape a horde of survivors the way things are going !

Dog Companions were "new".
ULTRA RED is New
Zombivores are New
Watch Towers New
Barricades New
Zombie Hounds New
Toxic Zombies New
Beserker Zombies New
Barb Wire New
New Skills
New Survivors
New tiles
New Weapons

I think we may have tapped out their creative juices.

I'm happy with Exclusive. It drives up bids, meets more stretch goals, gets us more stuff.

Now Exclusive Tiles, Exclusive Weapon Cards, an exclusive dog !!! that would be cool
