What's the significance of releasing an expansion on November 1st?

Arcadia Quest: Inferno start date...

Given the physical scale of SDE, I agree that King Starfire should not be +$50 / $80 MSRP. I assume it will include other stuff, but I'm not entirely sure what.

Is Inferno actually starting then? Was that confirmed somewhere?

Don't you dare get my hopes up!

That video with Rodney from Watch it Played with Spencer possibly?


At the very least, with the introduction of Legends for Super Dungeon Explore, we'll hopefully have all the built in tools to pull stuff from Arcadia Quest into SDE.

If Soda Pop doesn't get around to making S-Class figures, worst case is I could always pop a few AQ figures on the board instead.

I was a bit bummed that Sodapop aren't really giving much thought to putting together some sort of random dungeon builder a la Warhammer Quest. It was something they would think about in the future.

Ugh. We're already going to have a full blown rpg-lite board game here, why not go all the way? All I can hope is that they'll change their minds.

Releasing the add-ons November 1st makes sense. It competes with Arcadia Quest and is about half-way through the campaign so would help keep excitement up and somewhat curb the lull.

I used Miniature Market points and got Beatrix and Jack for $3

They came today, nice stuff!

In light of your testimony and the Kingdom Death witches, I went ahead and ordered Beatrix and Jack from MM. Though my points only netted me $0.50 this time.

Ah well.

New Update, looks like we're getting a Frost Dwarf / Giant / Ogre of some sort:



The other shapes look like a dragon & knight.

The two Bones Dragons Reaper currently sells are $75 (although significantly cheaper during the KS), but those are huge! And assembly isn't 20,000 parts like GW.

I have no problem forking over $50 for a dragon, I've paid more for them, but it better be freaking huge and cool looking!

From what I could gather on their FB page.

Obviously you would know better than me though...

I think a lot of that is coming from excited fans.

I'm not sure id put money on a Nov 1 launch.

I must say in a huge fan of the Pets offered here so far. The pet sculpts are some of my favorite.

Just had a Halloween-themed 3 Hero game!

Took over 4 hours to play.

Very fun, but that game length, Jesus...

Gotta find a way to speed things up. Maybe when rolling damage, do the difference in scores instead of just 1? I dunno, gotta do something though.

This alone is probably why I haven't gotten this game on the table yet.

Part of me just wants to unload all my SDE stuff, but the figures are just too damn good to pass up on...

~iPaint

Female Deeproot Druid doesn't turn into a bear?! Madness! But adorable.

And the second model is a Zombie Dragon with some Zombie Rats!

@Alex - 4 hours is grossly excessive for 3 Heroes. Heck, anything over 2 hours would be too much.

Consider playing more like Original, removing the Explore stuff and using the old Loot meter board? Or use the Retro variant instead?

They're Zombie Kobolds, aren't they?

Zombie Kobolds, yes. That makes more sense.

Does this mean that there is no King Starfire coming out then? Or is this still part of the first add-on?

SPM said there would be 2 addons, and the first does not appear to include King Starfire.

SPM has been silent about King Starfire, despite questions coming up and speculation.

SPM did, however, say that Caverns of Roxor 2.0 was not part of this KS.

Reading between the lines, one reasonably concludes that King Starfire is part of the second $50 add on.

I just had the email about the boss addon - it looks great, but when they say "To receive the add-on, increase your pledge by $50. After the campaign, you may specify the Bosses of Legend add-on in the pledge manager.", does that mean I can leave my current pledge as is and just buy later in the PM, or do I need to go up now?

You can increase in the PM.

Not followed any of SPM KS's before, but are they likely to actually show any more sculpts, renders or even concept designs of the minis, or will it all just be cartoon sketches? I was at the very least expecting to see the models in the Midnight Tower level box at some point.

The boss box sounds great in theory, but again it's pretty hard to tell with so little information and artwork. They seem to have released very little information throughout the whole KS, other than the stuff that they put up to start with, the updates have pretty much just been pictures of the SG's that have been broken. Presumably they've given out more info in the comments, but who has the time to search through thousands of comments?

And the Bosses of Legend add-on is fully revealed:



3 Bosses & 18 Creeps, with Explore & Treasure card sets for +$50.

If you like any 2 of the 3 sculpts, then grab the deal as the 3rd is "free" (compared to $25 MSRP).

@Oscar - there should be some more renders, but this is a KS, so they show what they have ready, and you have to accept that production may vary somewhat from concept or render.

The stone and skull creeps don't seem as good as (undead) kobolds. Makes the add-on feel less valuable.

I really like the bosses, though. I imagine Wintersson in particular should be an impressive model.

Creeps are "Insignificant", so they aren't supposed to be impressive at all. I agree the Frost Giant is the best of the bunch.

Think I'll pass on that one, got plenty of Bosses already.

Hopefully the other add-on has content along the lines of new tiles and/or Warbands, that's more my thang.

Disappointing that the creeps for the Frost Giant aren't little ice elementals, evil snow-men, or something similar.

I can see ice crystals trying to be like him just being near causes temperatures to plummet but not sure that translates out to the creeps he has.

He looks like he has potential though.

Mordred could be nice, and his creeps are fine, if only he had a non Destiny helmet (maybe its because Destiny just had their Halloween mask bit, but I swear I see the Oryx mask or Kell mask looking at him).

I'm thinking of using the Frostbyte Ravagers in conjuction with the Frost Giant. The stones might look good once all is said and done, but the frost orcs are a good backup, too.

So I'm probably going to up my pledge for this.

Geesh - and another 15 + stretch goals to go. They have really upped the freebies in comparison to TFK and NAS it feels like. Even if a lot of them are small pet models - pets are awesome! I had great fun painting the ones from TFK.

I think they have managed this campaign well, No Fake stretches, good value from day one, simplified fullfillment model...

But I wonder where the missing 2500 people from TFK are.

I know the end of TFK had like 2000 people on the last 3 days so if they end up with more backers than TFK, then I think that is a show of success for the 'big box' pledge model.

If they shed backers from TFK to SDE 2.0, I think that might be something for companies to think about. It might be hard to tell if it is people who had problems with TFK, didn't want a 150$ pledge point or people who simply don't want a second core box.

Honestly - I'd guess a good chunk of them (like me) simply are currently overflowing with SDE minis already and not keen on the idea of getting what is likely to be 150+ more by campaign's end.

They're simply going too fast - faster than even the most hardcore fans can begin to exhaust the content.

I will likely end up pledging, just because the deal is too good to pass on. But I don't have near the excitement level I did for TFK.

Plus I don't think TFK was such a short campaign either? That will likely knock the subscriber numbers down too. I have to say though, whether it leads to extra freebies or not. I am a big fan of the "simplified" campaigns.

The core FK offer amounted to 100 models for $100, with the ability to add up to $200, $300 worth of stuff via a couple dozen a la carte options. Also, FK got a huge number of backers on the last couple days.

The current Legends offer is ~100 models for $150 with 3 softback books and a mandatory $50 (SDE 2.0 -or- paired Crown + Frosbyte warbands ) option tacked on. Instead of the vast menu of a la carte choices in FK, you can pay another $50 to add the other core option, 3 Bosses, and/or another add to be named later (assumed King Starfire).

The Legends offer basically asks the backer to pay an extra $50 up front for new rules and printed materials that may or may not have value to how they play, and/or to accept a fixed set of models that may or may not be things they are specifically interested in.

Compared to FK, Legends is less flexible and less tailored to each backer, and it may have a somewhat lower model per dollar value.

I believe that Legends is basically tracking FK, and will see a similar large bump at the end. I think Legends will easily break $800k, and finish around $1M. I don't think Legends will surpass FK, but I could be wrong.
