Subject: The World of SMOG: Rise of Moloch Kickstarter by CMON (Live)
All week we’ve been talking about the World of SMOG, and in today's final installment we take a look at The World of SMOG: Rise of Moloch. The second game set in the alternate history of London will pit the Gentlemen of the Unicorn Club against The Cult, a sinister group led by the mysterious Nemesis.
but that was was more a traditional boardgame than a minis boardgame, with all the excellent sculpts they've got from the SMOG range I hope this one is more minis focused, but not long to wait and see
and from what's been show minis are going to play a bigger part in this one
EDIT: Well the start on this one was delayed (presumably too many other projects still ongoing) but the uptick in facebook postings suggests it will be coming soon
The Cult
The Gentlemen of the Unicorn Club.
The Grotesque Company Circus
We’ve introduced many of the different characters from Rise of Moloch. Here are the different main factions from the game: The Cult and its members, The Gentlemen of the Unicorn Club, and the twisted family from the Grotesque Company Circus. The Nemesis will have a lot of help to complete their evil plans, but the Gentlemen are a force to be reckoned with. Only time will tell how this story unfolds.

Ah, good new then. Re-releases of some of the sculpts would be ideal, their Holmes was a stunning miniature. If they can use some of the same sculptors and move to plastic, that would be excellent.
I have the original Smog 1888 game, the one with the fold open "poster" style play mat.
Was it called The Thirteenth Hour? I don't remember anymore! It was just an excuse to play games with the delightful figures.
The miniatures were amazing (maybe one day I will get around to painting mine), they were nearer to 54mm so presumably they will be smaller this time round, so obviously not as good
Cautiously optimistic about Rise Of Moloch, but it has such big boots to fill, at least in terms of miniature quality.
Really hoping that they don't mess with the aesthetic and go all comic book style like Massive Darkness. That would be perverse.

I backed World of Smog: On Her Majesty's Service on kickstarter and I have to say I love the game. It's pretty unique from the board setup (using actual rotating dials), to the figures to the world itself. Very pulp victorian steam punk with a fantasy twist.
I look forward to seeing where this kickstarter goes.

The SMOG range had some amazing sculpts in it... but I'm not quite sure about some of these. Hopefully they'll have some of the other awesome old ones waiting in the wings (the "Canopic Beast" is one of my all time favorite minis!).

It seems like they've moved to shorter campaigns on their B titles. Given the funding curve that these game projects follow I think it makes sense, cut out some of the lull in the middle and keep people more involved.

Reminder set . Not usually into steampunk, but cmon making it means it gets a glance. I wonder if Rising Sun will be soon and that's why they are doing a 16 day goal.

Somebody in the KS comments pointed out their was an existing line of 54mm Smart Max miniatures if anyone wants possible stretch goal or expansion spoilers. http://miniset.net/sets/smart-max/show-30

Wait is this in 54mm? Or are you saying they are remaking that line in 28mm for this game? I couldn't see a size on the KS page.

I assume the minis are the same size as all the other CMON boxed games and they're scanning or resculpting the 54mm figures. Most of the stretch goals do seem to be drawn from those existing designs so far.
EDIT: I asked and they're in standard CMON 32mm scale. They said lots of the existing 54mm ones had been digitally sculpted originally so scaling those is easy.

That makes it a bit more tempting, as the TWISTED Pledge Manager is about to close, and the rest of my hobby budget for Q1 is going into that.
Might have to see if I can squeeze this one in too...
