Quite, it is a very nice £30 RPG/artbook included in your £250 game!

Oh, this is all so strange. These things are going to be like Unicorns, occasionally glimpsed but mostly spoken of in legend. Perhaps a Unicorn bred with a Carthorse, anyway!

I would be genuinely fascinated by how this sells at "retail" - his resin humans are lapped up at $25 a pop, and this contains much more value than 11 or less of them. It contains more value than the $100 pinups set, or even the pinups set at 50% off!

Is there a sufficient market of comfortably well-off hobbyist-boardgamers that is not currently being fully catered to?

Bioptic - I would be interested in this as well.

I've bought a few of the kits that were sold through the website on the strength of the models alone. I am pretty tempted by the game itself but
~£180 isn't cheap, although the fact it is on offer is a plus.

Does anyone know if the game works as a single player experience? I'm guessing finding other players might be a little tricky and the better half is not the type to get excited by tiny monsters, even if they are as wonderfully deranged as these. It would be good to know that I could get something out of the box besides the modelling side.

Also, does anyone know whether we'll be able to get extra survivor models? Seems a shame to get so much gear and have to try and fit it all on the four in the box. I sense over-encumbrance would become an issue fairly quickly...

Cheers,

Ant

The monsters are AI-based through their monster deck normally anyway as I understand it, so a single player experience is just the normal game with you controlling all the survivors.

The 'single player experience' (stop laughing!) is the only thing that might make me keep the game rather than sell it all off.

Maybe.

Swanpanasia do 2"x2" card sleeves I have a pack to try out but with 1000 odd cards to sleeve I might not bother

Thanks Piperi, guess thats what I get for ignoring all text and scrolling straight to the pictures. Seeing as you do get so many models, it is looking like better value, at least compared to the other kits on the webstore.

Baragash, Alph - thanks for confirming the single player aspect, it is looking very tempting now... just got to call in some favours or find an organ one can do without and we're good to go.

I think I'm going to cave and get it now, despite having missed all the good value deals, it's only going to get worse?

Quick question though, do the rules for the extra/limited models on the Kingdom Death store come with the models, or does the box game include a bestiary/the cards for them?

Models in the store are not part of KD: Monster- they may eventually become a part of the project after Monster where heroic characters play a role.

Copying over a couple quotes from the N&R thread-
 Sinful Hero wrote:
" Dice, Promos, Armor Kits, Pinups and your T-Shirts, are all being shipped from our office in NY. It was the only way to make these complicated pick & pack orders fit into our budget. Warehouses charge per pick, usually around 0.50 - 2.00 depending on the place and your deal with them. I also trust us internally to get this right much more so then I do with an external company."


Automatically Appended Next Post:
" All of the expansions were designed to be very modular. The Gorm expansion, for example, has rules for you to incorporate it into a campaign two different ways. 1, by simply adding its intro story event to your next year on the timeline. 2. Starting a brand new campaign with the Gorm intro at the very start of your campaign. It has a pretty nasty re-occuring climate story event, that can really change how a new campaign feels. It does not replace anything, its merely added. Your settlement may hunt it, or anything else that is available to them."


Automatically Appended Next Post:
"Sorry. My lips are sealed on shipments until I make my big fulfillment update. All I can say is that, internally we are packing small reward boxes like crazy and that the core game + survivor level rewards are still in transit to their respective global warehouses. My favorite part of the project? Playing with friends and fans during gencon was an absolute blast. In recent memory, the experience I had at Gallery 42 was a tremendous high point. Otherwise I would say, anytime I get to clear other work away and get back to creating. I still just love that part!"

I just received shipping notice for a couple pinups, so stuff is happening. Smartpost Tracking number isn't yet live, but should be in a week, so there are good odds I receive my first KD : M models by end of month.

Huzzah!

Same here - I actually ordered quite a few of the "small rewards" so I think my package will be going on later, but at least it will have more stuff in it!

Dunno.

FedEx tracking shows mine to be out for delivery this morning (originally picked up in NY on 8/20, notice created 8/18), so I should have mine when I get back from work!

I am positively giddy at the prospect of finally receiving the first increment of what will be a small avalanche.

My life is a blur, how long did I wait for this delivery?
