+1. I'd been on the fence, but with that 100mm clearly some sort of boss, some baby monsters, and a nice variety of more interesting ones in between, yeah, I'm super happy about that set (though still a distant second to the woods expansion). The only thing I don't really like is Atnas, which sounds like Green Knight Armor levels of needing to work to an insane degree on getting to it, except then it'll be an obnoxious boss. IDK, I think the concept sounds flat, short of excellent execution.
Completely agree about Abyssal Woods, the concept Dragon Goblin blew me away and I had to get it and every expansion connected to it... I even skipped Gorm so I could get all the Woods stuff. And WOW did he look even better than I expected. It's honestly one of the best, if not the best, models I've ever seen. Jesus it's so amazing.

Also, anyone there or tapped in, is there any info on what they're selling other than presumably old stuff and the detective promo?
the only other new stuff on sale seems to be summer dice, KD card sleaves and the oblivion mosquito t-shirt,
with the forge god being the star of the hard to get existing stock (some are suggesting they're old stock, but I've seen a lot posting they've bought the limit of 2 so I wonder if it's an encore, or if perhaps he never actually had the full amount cast and now has)
After seeing that Oblivion Mosquito, it looks so much cooler and less disgusting than the concept art showed. Here's hoping the pledge manager will reopen for a quick time.

Still looks like a lady with a giant sleeping bag/phallus with a cartoon frowny face on the tip plus obligatory KD extra hands... I just find it about as silly a hyperbole of KD as there is.
So, double-checking, those busts are just for display, not actual things you can buy, yes?

Her wings are missing in the earlier pictures here's a more recent one and below apparently these are parts of the plastic board (still WIP) no other news on its final design
I really, really need the Oblivion Mosquito. I didn't buy any Mountain expansions because I thought I would need all of them to get the "complete" experience and I couldn't afford that since I went all in on Abyssal Forest, but I think I'll have to make an exception.
Im torn on that obliv mosquito scuplt - there is lot of great stuff going on with the back of it but "the big sack" thing with the odd face on the front is just not working for the mini imho....
That's actually pretty cool. I think the nipples are rather silly, but I like that. Hmm, will probably wait for plastic just 'cause it'll probably be a little cheaper and still pretty good quality, plus cards.
After bailing on the first Kickstarter due to the pvc (that obviously then became styrene) and then being between jobs for the second, looks like I will be surviving come the end of the year.
The booth is pretty impressive this year, great to see the growth of the game and the company.
...and you will know me by the trail of my lead...

To be honest, when I asked it was not entirely clear when/if that would happen.
I think the game will never be readily available. Only as part of a pre-order each time they move to print a run. The guys said that they will try to offer it, but each time they sell out a run, so it's very much first come first served and unlikely to be around for long. They can't print a load and have them sitting in a warehouse, which is fair enough as this is such an unusual beast of a game, in theme and scale.
Hence why I decided to bite the bullet and abuse the credit card... plus it's 25% off if you preorder at the show.

A few months work was done on KD Labyrinth but it's been sidelined for the moment
The plan for a cheaper more retail focused version of the game KD Quest has been shelved.
The sprites are for a PC game in the vain of old school Prince of Persia
At 24 (or maybe one or two more) expansions KDM is pretty much done and future focus will be on other things.
2 containers of 1.5 games have already shipped but this isn't nearly enough to even get started shipping to backers.

So what is he doing with all his 'free time' if he isn't working on KDM anymore? ;J
