We have also prepared the Dreadworm!

Looks very good, great work!

And a new Boss miniature add-on, the sort-of-a-Lictor Shadow Lurker:



Someone should tell him that he already has two gigantic knives strapped to his back, he doesn't need to carry more of them.

The boss miniatures are really starting to add up, if you're a completionist. All but the berserker seem like they could be (much less impressively) represented with a lesser version of the same enemy if required, though.

It's finally picking up some steam, next stretchgoal with an additional hero unlocked!

New and final boss available as well as a discounted pack to buy all five add on bosses:

Is going in at the lowest pledge enough to access the pledge-manager and raise said level later?

In a twist of terrible timing, I had a credit card stolen, and had to cancel my pledges as I switch over to a different card... one which I am far less inclined to throw my hobby purchases at. :-p

You mean "a card the wife also has access to" don't you

How'd you guess? :-p

The wife actually loves mini-wargaming too, so it actually isn't a matter of hiding it. We've just got her credit-card which is a tiny limit one, as a backup in just this situation. Mine is our proper one, but it'll end up being a week or two before I am issued a new one. Just gakky timing. It messed up a bunch of my pre-orders too.

I'd ask the creators directly in the comments to be 100% sure, but it sounds like you can upgrade your pledge (so needs to be at least the £5 one) to any 'available' pledge, presumably meaning the non-limited ones. From the FAQ:

There will be a pledge manager starting shortly after the end of the campaign.

This means that you will be able to:

• Select what add-ons you want with the money you have added on top of your base pledge.

• Purchase more add-ons

• Upgrade your pledge (for available base pledges)

YES 3 early birds just freed up, got one! Now let's get this to £140000...

Edit: aaaand gone

Next Stretchgoal is unlocked and only 21 hours to go! Pledge now!

So, this puts the £80 pledge up to a count of 87 miniatures, including 3 large ones and 2 huge ones!

Too bad you have to put up another £40 to get all five bosses..:

For those asking, the creators stated that yes you can increase your pledge level in the manager except to one of the limited quantity levels like BUILDING INTERMUNDIS.

Also a note to those interested in multiple copies that the Dark Ally level is only 140 not 150 as listed, due to typo that they were unable to change once the KS started.

Only if you want the boss miniatures. Bosses are still included as tokens in the core game. And even at 110/120 GBP, I think there is more value in this than in a lot of other similiar kickstarters.

Plus, its as close to modernized Warhammer Quest as we seem like we're going to get for a bit. I'm happy to be proven wrong by CMoN's upcoming dungeon-crawl... but I don't know what I expect out of that one yet.

Almost forgot about that one... Hmmmmmm do I really want both? On one hand I love Dark Souls, on the other CMON have a track record of great games and I also have Black Plague so I could combine the minis...

I'm still holding out hope to be able to purchase extra's of the core game miniatures as add-ons

I think there's room for both this and whatever CMON has cooking. CMON gonna CMON, no matter what, and you can always pledge a buck or catch the late pledges when the PM opens. That campaign isn't starting for a while anyways- we've got Rum & Bones in April, and I'm guessing the dungeon crawler in July (assuming stuff like Bloodborne and Godfather are straight to retail).

This game is a labor of love- I know I've been following it for a few years now, when I first heard it discussed in the comments of another campaign. With all the current stretches, and more than likely the necromancer and whatever else may show up in these last few hours has really made the dark ally worth it.

Besides more heroes, I'm sure that entire extra deck of loot will be fun to pull from.

Also worth mentioning is that the Necromancer has different types of undead to play with. That makes me happy. I loved playing a Necro with an army of various dead things.

Diablo 2 Necro here for... God... twelve years. Trust me... that was one of the things which tipped me firmly into backing this one. :-p

RPG elements, loads of loot, random dungeon layouts have me thrilled... but man I wish there had been one more $50 add-on for all the gameplay bits beyond minis that would've added meat to the game. Stuff like the environment deck sounds amazing, and a book of event monster stats and events for stuff not in the game itself would've given this game insane legs.

You'll get the environment deck, don' worry.

As I type this, there's still 7 hours to go and less than 700 pounds to get there. It will happen.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Daughters get tossed in before things end either.

You already have 10 basic monster types included- not counting all the Skorn variations, Lurker variations, or bosses. Or the daughters for that matter.

Who knows, maybe we'll see another monster type before this finishes. I certainly wouldn't mind!

Only 3 more hours and Environment cards unlocked, Daughters very likely!



Next stretchgoal revealed:

Darn. I was hoping we'd sneak in those Gobblers. Maybe with PM add-ons. :-)

Nice ending.

Good amount of swag there in the end. I certainly wouldn't mind seeing those Gobblers end up getting unlocked.

Who knows, maybe they have more stuff tucked away as it is...

Would be great, Highlord. You sound like you have some possible info? I know I have been in touch with Paulo and co. about helping out in my own way, as well.

I know one thing I would be a huge fan of would be a book with even options for archetypal enemy types, tables for additional encounters, etc. God knows I love my D100 tables for infinite variety, plus it would be an outside way of introducing races which don't exist in their lore, like Elves, Dwarves, etc...

All that said though, I am thrilled as is.

I had dinner with Miyazaki-san of Dark-Souls fame, and the irony is he is a HUGE DnD, Warhammer Quest, and board/mini/etc... game fan. So seeing this be Dark-Souls meets Warhammer Quest brings a lot of things full circle.

That is awesome... would love to see an actual board game designed by Miyazaki, talk about a wet gaming dream!

But now begins the long wait for this game...

FYI, the Pledge Manager just opened for this and is accepting late pledges.

I'm in the US and it looks like shipping will be about 22.5 pounds ($32) for the game + stretch goals.

Any other backers here? What are your thoughts on the boss pack?

I backed.

Shipping was about what I figured it would be.

I went for the boss pack. I liked the overall design for the majority of them.

Should be some nice sized figures for what you get, and they've got a good manufacturer behind them, so I'm feeling good about the quality we'll get.

Plus I'd rather get actual sculpts instead of tokens.

I went for the boss pack too, although I accept that it is definitely diminishing returns compared to the base pledge! And frankly £8 per model is still not cheap, even at that size. I'd only pledge for it if you like the aesthetics and trust the sculpt quality of all 5 bosses, since the value proposition is borderline. Could get a whole different premium boardgame for £40!

how long is the PM open for? I'm still on the fence on this one with them being new and the risk in my opinion is high.
