Looks quite intriguing. I really like a lot of the models and the setting sounds pretty cool.

Did he sculpt it out of curiosity?

I see a lot of reptiles. Frustrating that they're spread across all the factions.

Will get a crew. Not sure which. Certainly will grab the reptiles later though!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/723572/9309322.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/723572/9309322.page GMT The Drowned Earth - Kickstarter up http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/723572/9309343.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/723572/9309343.page GMT Re:The Drowned Earth - Kickstarter up

We are currently over 600% funded and have a heap of unlocks, including a bunch of cool dinosaur minis and a girl riding a raptor, because why not!

Just also announced a fifth "merc" faction who can be used together, or as part of another faction.















I need to process the images, but we had a fantastic day at Salute last weekend, demoed the game for a good 100 people and got amazing feedback and response all round. Plus we got to feed a T-Rex 47 innocent wargamers!

I've gone to considerable lengths to avoid the usual kick-starter issues by going through several production cycles ahead of time and ensuring that things are close to ready to roll as soon as the campaign ends. I've had two years to prepare after all. What's the point in rushing, and getting it wrong?

Anyway, thought I'd post up a link to the Youtube channel where i've thrown together some basic tutorials to teach the basics. There will be more of these, but with just over a week to go on the Kickstarter I'm putting them on the back burner and concentrating on ending with a bang.

I'd love it if a few of you fine people joined us!

How many crews do you plan to have?
How large do you plan to make the model pool for each crew? Is there going to be a point where we can say a crew is done and do you have any concerns of model bloat if there isn't?
Have you plans to scale up the game much further than what you have shown with 5 small'ish models a side? I can see 50mm bases fitting in well, but are we going to get giant or gargantuan sized models? Are we going to get 30+ models a side, taking it above a skirmish game?
The character cards suggest that they are straight forward picks with limited customisation. Is there much customisation possible and is there a points system for selecting your team?

Thanks.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/723572/9347970.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/723572/9347970.page GMT The Drowned Earth - Kickstarter - Funded http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/723572/9348968.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/723572/9348968.page GMT The Drowned Earth - Kickstarter up

It isn't clear. They're described as "feat, attribute and armour dice". If they're just D10s with a logo on it's weird to call them that.

They are just D10 with a fancy name. And only the feat dice has a logo on the 1. The reason for the naming seems to be for the roles you make]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/723572/9349024.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/723572/9349024.page GMT The Drowned Earth - Kickstarter - Funded
The special dice - the symbol on the Feat die denotes a special result. They aren't neccessary, but it is necessary to use two dice of different colours (and remember which one should have the special symbol on the 1).

Henry- Shortly there will be 5 crews- a fifth mercenary crew is possible now we have a number of mercenary models coming, which can be used with any faction.

I can certainly forsee that increasing to seven or eight in the future, but probably no more than that. I don't want to go in to detail about future plans because they're still very much in the air, but I certainly hope to expand the crew number to more than five.

Because pirates .

I don't plan on "finishing" factions, so to speak. I don't really imagine model bloat is going to be a problem, as the game is not a synergistic combo game akin to a CCG, where unexpected interactions will cause imbalance.

I think if you look at a game like Malifaux or Batman, that's the sort of scale TDE is designed to operate in. Going over about 12 or 15 models will make the game ungainly, and take away the character based flavour, which is important in the narrative feel. 5-10 will be normal.

However, I do plan on making sure it's just as viable to take a 5 man crew as a 15 man crew at the same points value, provided you build your list intelligently.

Yes there is a points system, and each crew will have multiple options in the future. The dinosaur models are faction neutral so that right off the bat you can get a bit of list building going. This also applies to the mercenary models who are not available at the moment, but will be incorporated in to the range to work together as a fifth faction, or individually with any other crew.

In the future though, we'll probably limit how much you can mix and match outside your own crew, but of course that's only possible when the range has grown a bit.

Hope that helps!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/723572/9349783.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/723572/9349783.page GMT The Drowned Earth - Kickstarter - Funded

if only I could paint like this, still its great to see Sage in the flesh (so to speak) and that the model is exactly like the render - makes me quite positive the others will be the same quality so upped my pledge a bit to get all 4 factions! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/723572/9359568.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/723572/9359568.page GMT Re:The Drowned Earth - Kickstarter - Funded
