At least it is a bit less than $110K to unlock them!

This looks absolutely amazing, but I have the resist the urge. Otherwise it will end up as another one of my giant billion part boardgames that no one in my group ever wants to play and I will be left with tons of (admittedly awesome) Batman minis with no purpose.

Anyone know if there will be late pleading via PayPal? I just got a $700 repair bill for a hit and run on my car...

Amusing auto-correct lol. Sorry about your car. I have seen it stated by other people in the comments section, but it isn't in the FAQ. For both Conan and Pantheon you could up your pledge level and add more items, so assume it would be the same here.

Given that this is never to be available via retail, I'd bet that there will be a 'late pledge' opportunity.

But best to ask directly, and see if you can get them to add it to the FAQ on the campaign page!

Lol. That was an amusing autocorrect.

I was hoping someone had already asked and I just missed it. I'll fire off the question myself when I can.

Is anyone else experiencing issues with the KS website? I'm not talking about the downtime from the 27th; last week for a day the site wouldn't allow me to log-on, search for projects (the options were just missing from the site) , and none of the links on the page worked. I emailed support and they seemed to know the problem was occurring, but it was soon fixed. Now yesterday it started again and still remains despite a couple of emails to support (they have not responded yet). It's all very weird. I've used the site for years without problem. I really want to back and follow this project, but I can't !!!

(and no, I don't have the KS app; don't use my phone for anything but calls and texts)

I've got the same problem at the moment on computer but only when using Internet explorer or Edge, if I use an alternative like Chrome it's fine

(it also happened briefly last week but fixed itself within 24 hours)

Edit : just tried firefox too and that works as well

Can't believe I didn't think to try Firefox, since I use both that and IE at home. Thanks so much for the suggestion!!! (and also glad to know it's not just me!)

Bombs away!



Next is Harvey Bullock:

Bullock is in. Next up in about $80k are some Arkham/Blackgate guards... also a hint at Deadshot after that.

The answer about late Pledges according to the FAQ:

Monolith FAQ wrote:
Can I just pledge a dollar now and increase my pledge during the pledge manager phase?

The Pledge Manager will be open to everybody. No need to pledge anything during the campaign. The offer will be the same. The only difference: your pledge will not help to unlock additional Stretch Goals.

Which is helpful to me. PayPal credit and 6 months to pay is the way I'm gonna go.

I wonder what they'll do to kick up the excitement when the middle doldrums start.

With all the expansions a known quantity already I feel like it steals a bit of thunder from the campaign.

But they may toss new ones in there, so who knows...

Dunno if more expansions when they already have an all in pledge

I think this is very much "done already", and they will just size the stretch goals to try to get them all in before the end.

They have made it very clear there will not be any more maps or scenarios :(

I had missed this has actually launched.

Luckily there wasn't any early birds for me.

On the other hand, it's on the pricey side. But it IS a lot of stuff, and I am loving my Batmanning...

I think I'll keep an eye out for the 48 hour reminder and try to follow along with the news here.

Arkham Guards in, Deadshot up next in around 90k.

Rules are released too now - someone dive in and then give us a review!

There are plenty of reviews and playthroughs. I myself have done several. But you don't need to take my word, just go to YouTube and search...

Monolith is running a simple and clean KS (learning from mistakes from the previous Conan and Mythic Battles).

If you have any questions about the pledge, they are answered in this FAQ:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/806316071/batmantm-gotham-city-chronicles/faqs

Yes, Monolith lost money when Asmodee took Conan to the stores. Therefore all of there projects will be KS exclusives. They are fans of role play, strategy and miniatures games and aim to produce BIG game that they themselfs love and you do too. And the only way to do that in a inexpensive way for us consumers is to go through KS.

Didn't that last update give us the most up to date rules?

And that is what has already spawned a host of YouTube reviews?

It did indeed. You can find the "Work In Progress" rule book here:

Monolith have been handing out prototypes to many reviewers so you will see many points of view of the same game. To help in you decision making

Is this game already done, or are they starting the project as per the boxed sets?

I was under the impression that this had been already done like 2 years ago or so, as per the conversation from the last year or so.

Firefly is unlocked (and looking good), up next is an additional scenario for one of the base game tiles and then Bloom, another villain I confess to never having heard of...

There was also a poll to decide on the pose of Ra's Al Ghul, so presumably he'll be along sooner rather than later.

Like most of the game's stuff, he's from the New 52. Bloom's actually one of the better things to have been in the New 52 Batman run, and a pretty cool villain in both concept and execution, though a lot of went on around it was somewhat controversial (Gordon becoming Batman in a mech suit, Bruce retiring 'almost permanently' after his death and resurrection)

The game has been in the works for two years.
If you had tried to buy the game last year, there were only 2 scenarios and lots of paper and sellotape.

Ooo... some viral zombies for All Things Zombie!

So far, Batman has miniatures for various ATZ factions:
* Civilians
* Thugs and gangs (and prisoners)
* Policemen (and guards)
* Military (or at least SWAT)



Plus waffle cones! Everyone loves waffle cones!

Some more 3d terrain is now in:

Mr Bloom's seedlings are in:



Next up, Batwoman!

Bloom 'zombies' in, up next is Batwoman. The stretch goals are coming about every 50k now, so hopefully we'll keep getting through them at a fair old rate now.

And in case anyone missed it, there was a 'secret' stretch passed for surpassing the total of their Mythic Battles KS, giving us a bonus alternate Riddler sculpt which is pretty neat.

Man, that Riddler is fantastic. Love the posing.
