It also seems like there is no final boss, but you keep grinding until you die? Maybe the quest rooms are really challenging, otherwise this could get repetetive fast.
BUT this seems like a very straigthforward ruleset and I imagine it would be very easy to write rules for additional monsters or quests.
Will we see the advanced ruleset before the final product? Maybe you have some nice twists hidden there
Having these doubts, I guess I have to back this regardless. Loved HeroQuest as a child and like I said before, no addons at a decent price.
Originally Monsters could Dodge and Tumble but it took ages to resolve a round and it added little to the fun. But there will be some unique monsters which can dodge, for instance the Shadow Lurker is a unique boss character small and fast.
Each Dungeon ends with a boss encounter which is usually composed by a unique Monster (like a champion).
There will be the Advanced ruleset with the base game, you will be able to travel to settlement (deal with the traveling Hazards) and the settlements where you can replenish your strength or find interesting locations like the Jousting Grounds (Black Knight only).

I keep on hearing this, but I have never once used a credit card for KS. I don't even have one tied to my KS profile, I just use my Debit card.
That Daughter of Libithia looks very creepy! I want a dozen!

[off topic] The protection level also depends on your bank. My account doesn't come with a credit card, but the bank offers brilliant protection for fraud and refunds on the debit card.
Back on topic, I love the concept of the environment deck
I just wish it were moving a bit faster as 140k seems such a long way away for this :(
Those daughter figures look like they'd be quite a popular item outside of the boardgame circles.
It's been a serious trudge to get to the next stretch. While there has been slow and steady chug forward, I can't help but wish it was bringing in CMON style numbers. I want more toys to play with this game!
I agree that the concept of the environment deck is pretty cool.
At least once the courtesan unlocks we'll see what the next boss add on figure is.
Since nobody else posted it, here's a sample of the injury chart from when you get KO'ed.
4 KOs equals permanent death too! Weeeee!
Poorly lit photos of my ever- growing collection of completely unrelated models!
Yeah.. I was reconsidering my original stance on this.. which got removed if that tells you anything..
The tooth crotch spider ladies however have pulled this clearly in a direction I'm not comfortable playing with my kids.. sooo.. pass. Hope it works out for everyone else.
Yeah that's a bit unfortunate... Dark Souls manages to stay classy while still having the best and most horrifying designs in the business. The lust demon trope wasn't needed IMO.

The pics are all prints/ resin casts I believe. Dark Ice could probably tell you better but I'm online and have time to waste at the moment, so...
The actual figures are going to be board game plastic.
Now if Dark Ice wanted to make a few specialty resin runs to cater to the war gaming crowd (hint hint) I'm sure a few of us wouldn't mind obliging them...

We are looking at some of the best boardgame plastics manufacturer.
Wrath of Demon for example was made by Ludo Games, and those are exceptionally well crafted miniatures.
