Panda Cult Games just launched the Kickstarter for their new dungeon crawler, Wander: The Cult of Barnacle Bay.

Kickstarter Link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1996974421/wander-the-cult-of-barnacle-bay

$90 pledge gets you this:

Man. a day without a new kickstarter is like a day without sunshine!

I don't know what this is but I want that shark bear.

I took part in the first KS (the metal minis from that are being offered as an add on) and the sculpts were excellent,

and the fulfilment was nice and smooth too with good communication all the way

This feels like Zombicide mixed with Arcadia Quest (or I am thinking Super Dungeon Explorer, I get them mixed up)... not that is necessarily a bad thing though.

The sculpts look good and are interesting, even if I don't have something to use them for. I could see picking up a couple of the heroes if they were sold individually though. I would like to see more information, probably a rules preview or at least more gameplay videos to show more examples.

Yeah their last KS went smoothly, and I've worked with Heath before and know him to be good people. I like where they're going with this, looks go be a good family friendly adventure game

I played the demo at GenCon.

Game mechanics seemed mostly like a mix of Zombicide and Mice and Mystics. The narrative feel, the board-flipping (e.g. the reverse side of a tile is the below-ground level of the same area), and the dice pool mechanic were like M&M. Enemy/monster spawning, AI, and the XP track were like Zombicide. There were some other bits like determining LOS, and the "darkness" squares, but overall I felt like there was nothing particularly innovative about the rules and mechanics. That's not inherently a good or bad thing, just an observation.
