But Gorm is one of the classic Kingdom Death miniatures.

Personally, I don't want to see Gorm (because it is the only miniature I do not own personally and I'd much rather actually have my holy quest for a bit longer :p), but I think it would be a waste not to use all of the current miniatures (non pin-ups) for the game. Yes, this also includes the Wet Nurse and the Forge God!

Well, I was on the fence, despite being on a board game kick as of late. The game play video sold me. I'm in for survivor level with the dragon and flower knight expansions. I'm not a fan of the pinups, but I love the survivor and monster design.

Hmmm, I looked up Gorm to see what all the hubbub was about... I'll pass on that one.

@Grot 6,

Do you mean the 4 starting survivors?

There might be weapons sprues in the future, its too early to tell and depends how the molds are setup during production.

The survivors won't be available until backers have their rewards shipped to them. It would be sorta unfair for me to release them in advanced. I might make an exception for a con ( most likely not ), but only if backers could "pick up" parts of their rewards. Otherwise I take being respectful to backers very seriously!

Man, I don't see an easy way to see a list of all the options, etc. Trying to see how much I'd spend on this is a PITA. Am I missing something?

Nah, Adam / Kingdom Death either needs to use Greg's graphic (put link on main page), make his own graphic, or just update the text on the main page! Right now the only way to know what is included in Survivor is to:

1. Go through every update

Or

2. Stumble on Greg's image in the comments section

Ugh... it's been this way at least a week, too. Updating the text listing what is in Survivor on the main page should be so easy... it's just text!

I may type up a sample updated Survivor contents list when home- then you could just copy/paste...

Oh, and 500K reached, so you can include that when you do it... in one fell swoop

Doesn't include quite everything, but it's most of it thus far. The antelope is in the late stages of development, so give it a bit more time to come together.

Gorm is an expansion I will also pass.

To be fair, coming from someoe who is not a huge fan of mister Gorm, we should wait and see what all is in the expansion before passing judgment. He did say it was going to be huge.

Seems the kickstart has picked up quite some speed after hitting 450.
Will be interesting to see how it goes after this and which stretch goals are up next

I agree an image update/front page update is in order.

I'll admit I didn't quite get that the Manhunter would be 'free' if your pledge equaled $300 or higher.

I went online looking for the Herald of Death pledge level to see what was in it... and was puzzled for a minute or two!

I was almost at $300 anyway, and I can certainly see going that high by the end as it is so... good times!

Adam is slowly making $300 to be the sweet-spot for this KS. :p

As someone with experience in this sort of thing.. No, is not easy. Kickstarter's backend is AWFUL. You can't copy/paste without it going wonky, its incredibly slow, and pron to 'forgetting' about images when you goto change anything.

Seriously, among the worst website backends I've dealt with.

Even just from trying to relay information on the forums I have noticed this: it seems to reassign image links every time that there is a change on a page. Which means any image links break every-time the front page is updated... ugh.

I dunno, maybe I was just spoiled by the Reaper kickstarter. They seemed to have everything all lined up and easy to understand.

@ KingdomDeath
Is there a plan to make Village Kits eventually? I can see this potential in this game and it is very exciting!

Reaper has Kit, who is their dedicated 'web monkey' (not in a nasty way)

so they had somebody who could 'negociate' the KS interphase (or fix things when they went wrong)....

Like when they found there were character limits and image number limits on the homepage (one of the reasons end up having to delete usefull info, as they can't fit new stuff on unless they do)

As Adam is a one man band he'll have to do it all himself (and I'm guessing he's a computer user, but not nessesarily a programer)

Well, here's some text, courtesy of Manuel in the Kickstarter comments. It seems to have everything. So... copy/paste away

I only added the rawhide armor sets in the optional add-ons section, as someone pointed out in the comments that it wasn't included, and made the section titles easier to see (since the Kickstarter comments don't allow formatting).

Let me know if you want anything ordered differently or separated out... I am glad to help!

GORM!

And so on this day... the impossible has been reached and we are stepping into the lands beyond rational possibility! Half a Million Dollars have been pledged to this kickstarter and I my pants will never be the same again.

There is just so much to say, so much to share, feelings, game insight, miniatures and special rules that I can't even begin to find the words at the moment.

So please, instead of me babbling on, just look at the pretty pictures. It is much more coherent then I am at the moment. I am so excited I don't even know how I am typing this up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With no offense meant, I really hope KD runs a grammar check on things. Typos on that Gormite card.

I rush to update this but I was Ninja'ed

I really like the look of those survivors (and the Gorm, but then I've bought the Sunstalker Infant)

and are those Gormfoot Slippers I see as a resource, LOL

The silhouette of that regen suit looks intriguing. But then I'm still waiting to see the artwork for the lioness.

Here it is

Jesus! That thing is horrifying!

So is the Gorm Armor. Both would look better on hooves, I think.

I'm at $320 now, though I'm not sure I'll keep the 'Beyond the Wall' miniature as it has limited in-game use.

This KS keeps getting better and better.

And more expensive!

But worth it!

I'm rather on the fence about this expansion, everything it comes with is pretty cool, I just don't like the Gorm model itself. Yet, it is another monster to fight. The armor is pretty sweet and the black sword looks awesome, if the rest of the weapons from this expansion look that good, I might end up getting it. I suppose I can wait until the end of the kickstarter and see what other expansions pop up. There will be more, I'm sure of it. I do really like there being small expansions and large ones, like how you can get one that's just a new monster to fight or one that's got new armor and other things as well, it's a nice touch.

At first I was kind of against the Gorm expansion but I have come to realize I am going to purchase every expansion for this game as the more content the better! I would really really love to see a battleboard created for this game.

@KingdomDeath

Have you thought about a possible partnership for a limited run with Games & Gears to produce an actual gaming board for KD:M?

I apologize if I am putting you on the spot but I would be more than happy to add some more money to purchase an official gaming board for KD.

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/490052.page

G&G looks to be tooled for a 2' x 2' board, and I think KD is a bit bigger than that, and least in one dimension?

EDIT

Yup, 2' x 3'!

Any idea what the board will look like? It can't all be carved stone faces?

Will it be a board... a paper sheet? Vynal?

I took a snip of the prototype board from the video. My group and I are now talking about building a custom 3d board so we can have our "settlement" built on it and keep a weekly "campaign". I will take down the image and delete it off my machine if it is not allowed to be here. From my understanding the board will be made of your typical board material like monopoly or risk but I could me mistaken.
