The painful $:€ rate and high buy in has stopped me from doing stupid crap and pledging. I have the money, but comparing it to the exchange rate of the OG KS I hesitated on, no, thinking about it stings. I won't ever get to play, anyway. Just a few more hours if temptation resist.

Good thing that half the stuff is pin-up related which doesn't excite me at all, if there were more monster updates I'd cave.

How many more monster expansions you need?

Yeah I have to admit that the exchange rate from last years, we will go with interesting events has stung compared to the glory days of sterling being king but its still Kingdom Death and you will never get a deal like this on these products again...is the reasoning I'm using to justify it.

Yep, I figure I'll end up buying all the expansions anyway.so I might as well pay a large wad of cash now to get them cheap, rather than a huge pile of cash in three years. After buying the first set of expansions at close to full price I don't want to do that again.

The whole reason I even went in on this one is I missed out the Dragon King, since then hes literally hooked me for another 500 dollars on top of that.

Thanks to my PC needing replacement, I've had to drop my plans to go 750. I'll be keeping the 300 for this KS, and depending on how things go... well we'll see in the future if there are addons at pledge manager.

wow.. about to hit $10mil. I wonder if the server will die in the last 15 minutes.. I remember that happening to Zombicide I think...

Hmm. I'm on the fence about dropping down to just the Silver Lantern. Spent more on my Horus Heresy stuff than I'd intended. The last couple of expansions have been pretty neat though. I'll see what's what tomorrow I guess.

I'm still on the fence about the Gambler's Chest. There is more game content now, with a whole new tree of innovations, and quite a bit of gear and armor sets, on top of the new concepts like philosophies of death and scouts. But it's hard to tell if the new stuff will make the game any better or not.

On top of that, I won't really use most of the miniatures. And even though they aren't calling them pinups, a lot of the figures in the gambler's chest are just pinups. That new gatherer miniature is clearly a pinup, and isn't going to fit in with the style of the other figures, even if I wanted a narrative sculpt of someone with a bone sickle.

Ideally at least the king and the scribe...

What is a Kingdom without a King, after all? You could argue Satan fills that role, but...I ain't paying $100 for that.

Anyone feel like the game will be a nightmare to organize in two years?

When setting up a "new" campaign, will I need to source every freaking card, and build elaborate custom decks of only the relevant settlement events, hunt cards, gear, etc...? It feels almost comically unwieldy with how every damn monster now, no longer plugs in, but is their own custom campaign, adds 5 more, more, years, etc... etc... etc....

Not really, monsters plug in and the end monsters do something extra, either add years or modify the campaign.

I think that's where the node system is meant to come in

Plus he'd already designed the minis, took our money, produced at least some of them, then decided to cancel it when he realized he wouldnt make enough because he has no restraint when it comes to adding stuff. He should finish the expansion he started and promised from the last kickstarter.

Got an early bird! Pledging for Wehrkind

Lots of folks seem to be moving towards the end when the money will really be coming out here, so if you refresh the page enough you should be able to snag one!

I hope so, as quite a few now come with tweaks to the campaign, and settlement events. All I wanted settlement events-wise was a big deck of new general-purpose ones as the base game, and current expansions repeat far too often in any given campaign.

I am not sold on that story, I doubt any models reached injection molding, given it is Poots we talk about, I do believe he simply could not make it work and decided to scrap it, maybe it was not fun, maybe it gave too much of the story away.

Yes, but I'm just going to stick with a few expansions. I'm also not confident that the changes being made in the 1.5 version, or the advanced rules, are actually going to make the game better.

Didnt people post sprues labeled "Lantern Festival"? I thought we saw proof some stuff got to production.

It's a good thing we can count on finding a straightforward guide to the game on Vibrant Lanter--


Oh, right.

I've been doing exactly that, waiting for a $777 opening but no joy yet!

Is there any solid information on VL been shut down? last I visited the site on the front page I could not see anything.

The kickstarter page also has this:

"Vibrant Lantern (prob the best KD fan site there is! includes build guides and a campaign manager!)"

What's going on with VL?

It's driving me nuts that there's a pinup of the deserter. Why? Why would we suddenly have that?

And then show off the old deserter art, talking about how he hasn't been seen in a while.

I feel like we're getting set up for something.

Plus with the storm knight pinup getting shown off.

Plus PLUS the fact that plastic storm knight sprues have surfaced in the wild.

Dunno. There's something coming I feel...

Edit- Also incoming Death Chicken.

I am not sure if it something is going on or its yet another rumour spawned from nowhere and propagates.

I posted about the comments from the backer who runs the site (apparently, but I believe it is indeed them) a day or two ago in this thread,

I've not seen anything further from them but I;ve only been dipping in and out so don't know if ruffled feathers were soothed and all will carry on as normal or if they are indeed planning to close the site

I really want to have as soon as possible to hold these miniatures in my hands.

I think you'll be waiting a while + (X) months before that will happen!

Games like Kingdom Death take patience and i hope that my patience will be rewarded
