I'd be down for a game like Kingdom Death without all the skeezy poo poo and better rules, I don't know if Descent scratches that itch but a multiplayer board game dungeon crawler where the monsters use cards sounds like a lot of fun.

Feudum looks really awesome. The art alone is incredibly cool and stand out, has good looking components, and the gameplay sounds solid too.

It's relatively easy to not have most of the dumb titty stuff anyways since it's all based on minis that are expansion content iirc. There's a definite theme of body horror with all of the enemies, so all the talk of titty miniatures is closer to the miniatures that just happen to have titties rather than miniatures whose purpose is titties. There's some other stuff in the rules that's definitely weird and messed up for other reasons, but it's not generally T&A/fetish stuff unless the fetish is body horror.

There's no reason to think that it is good, but I recall the Dark Souls board game uses a monster deck for its bosses.

Rad Valtar posted:So if I back the Mega Man Pixel Tactics with the tier that just has 2 copies of the same cards are the two teams going to be too similar every time I play? I'm willing to bump up to get both the Red and blue packs but I'm wondering if it's needed right away? There's plenty of play in one box, but two boxes are better. Plus you don't get stretch goal cards with only one box.

I think just the tail is a dong? I'll leave confirmation as an exercise for the reader. We tried out the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game last night and it seems really solid. My group really enjoyed the way the action economy works and the variety of abilities. The first encounter's not great, but it's quick and a good intro to the mechanics. We had a group of 5 and we're all excited to try the next encounter.

That's how my coworker sold it when I was surprised she was a big Kingdom Death fan. She acknowledge its balance flaws, but continuously talks highly enough about it that I'm interested in looking at the reprint KS coming up. If the weirder poo poo is relegated to optional packs, then I might jump in for the base game. Then again, I backed Middara, so I'm already a titty-figure enabling monster.

In general Pixel Tactics is most balanced when both players are playing the exact same decks, but having more than one type of deck would help provide a lot more options. I have no idea how well the two decks will measure up against one another but it's likely not a big deal.

Nuns with Guns posted:Isn't there a random event that results in all of the characters eating poo? Yeah, I seem to recall this when my buddy was talking about it. I think they have a lot of cool/horrifying sculpts and some of the sexuality-mixed-with-horror bodyhorror is using the sex to make it more unsettling, but that mixes weirdly with the cheesecake pinup poo poo, and some of the over-sexed violence just feels like juvenile shock value. It kind of feels like a cargo cult built around the someone saying that Alien is a great horror film and also the alien reproduces via throat-raping egg laying.

I guess I kind of feel like "it's not meant to be skeezy, it's ~body horror~" is reaching a bit when a lot of the body horror just somehow happens to involve tits for purely coincidental reasons.

Or giant slugs made entirely out of tentacle dicks and surrounded pregnant naked women. But the game play itself is pretty bad, 90% of the random events are "roll a d10, on a 1-3 you die horribly, on a 8-10 you get a bonus". The game ends if your settlement survives 40 years and then your lanterns all go out and you die. Macdeo Lurjtux fucked around with this message at 22:25 on Nov 11, 2016 |

The game ends if your settlement survives 40 years and then your lanterns all go out and you die. This is one of the major problems; there is no real way to push the odds in your favour on most rolls and most rolls are set up so only getting 8-10 on a d10 does anything good for you. As a consequence, you are actively incentivised to not roll for random events if the game gives you a choice. This means you spend time rolling on charts to get an interesting sounding event and then choose not to engage with it because there's a higher chance you'll just get hosed over. There's also a bunch of stupidly, and unenjoyably, 'gently caress you' cards in the monster decks. Trap cards trigger at certain points when you damage a monster, essentially at random. I've played in battles where we were definitely about to defeat the boss but hit a trap card and got outright tpk'd. The trap cards don't add challenge, just the chance to get screwed by bad luck (spoiler: we took the trap cards out from then on). The game is not good, but my brother spent a lot of money on the Kickstarter (the only thing I can say in his defence is that didn't get any optional titty minis and has actively converted the minis he did get to reduce the more gratuitous stuff) so I have felt obliged to play it with him. We ultimately added a ton of house rules that made the game much more enjoyable, if not good. I will say this, the settlement building and crafting stuff is a cool idea, and the main thing that makes any of us interested in coming back for more - I wish a better designed game had those elements to it.

Pretty much. If it was straight-up body horror then I'd be much more okay with it. As it is, it's really sleazy body horror.

Nuns with Guns posted:Isn't there a random event that results in all of the characters eating poo? Yes, and you have to give your character the title of poop eater (though that might be a different card). Also you can hit the Lion in the dingdong. I complained about the tonal shift before where the general environment is grim-dark but then you have spouts of juvenile humor. The boss fights are actually kind of interesting in a way... though the trap cards mean there is no reason to use weaker multihitting weapons over stronger single hit weapons. You can mitigate this a bit; by hunting an enemy over-and-over you get enemy specific resources that you can use to build items that let you see that specific enemies hit locations, or lets you control them in a certain way which is a cool idea! It still doesn't mean you want multihit weapons. The hunting phase is horrible and has ton of "roll or die" situations. It just exists to drain your... survival points? I can't remember exactly what they are called, but they are points you gain that let you do some helpful actions. Too bad if you enter a fight without survival you basically will die, especially against monsters you haven't fought before. The civilization phase is... okay. The building aspects are kind of neat, and the way you discover new monsters to fight has some cool events. Except certain events happen to just kill off your population and are frustrating because they keep coming back. Exile a witch? Well, they will keep coming back every 3 years to get revenge unless you roll a 10! Twilight knight gives you a lovely sword? He will come back every 2 years, kill the person with the lovely sword unless they level it up, and give to the sword to another person. Thanks rear end in a top hat! Man the creep factor... Roll a die! Your baby dies... Roll a die! You die while farming (and the picture for this is half naked women getting fondled)... Man, if you are a designer I would say get the game (cheap if you can) because there is a lot of potential. Like, a loving Bloodborne edition of it where you build up the Hunter's Dream with random Hunters would be great if you get rid of some of the random rolls and redesign the trap hit locations to be less punishing.

I think a lot of the people who ape Alien and Geiger forget that a lot of what's unsettling about the body horror themes in the works are often more focused on the birth of something, with the reproductive act being a secondary element. Stuff like Kingdom Death seems to reverse that, or throw out the whole "birth as disturbing" thing altogether.

The game is fun only when you mock how player-unfriendly it is, all in the name of being "dark." It isn't that fun to play, because, as others have said, there is an awful lot of "roll a d10 and roll high to not die." It isn't grueling so much as it is over the top.

To be fair it's not like the Kingdom Death guys were the first people to look at Dark Souls and then come to the completely incorrect understanding about what makes it good. They might be the first to add gratuitous tits and dicks to it though.

ANIME TITS. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO LOVE THEM SINCE I BEGAN TO PLAY KINGDOM DEATH. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF POO THAT FILL MY COLON. IF ANIME TITS WAS DRAWN ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE LOVE I FEEL FOR ANIME TITS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT. TITS. SCAT MAN.

Richard Breese is kickstarting a special edition of Keyper, the next game in the Key boardgame series. Shipping is very high, £19 to ship from Germany to Denmark which is right next door. It almost makes sense considering that the game appearantly will weigh an estimated 20kg. The contents are: 48 country tiles (plus a minimum additional six tiles in the Character Edition), 48 village tiles, 26 fair tiles, 6 boat tiles. 4 ‘flexible’ country boards, 4 village boards, 4 mini keyp boards. 4 waving wooden keypers (all character keypers in the Character Edition), 32 wooden keyples (all character keyples in the Character Edition), 48 wooden raw material resource cubes, 48 wooden eight sided finished goods counters, 8 wooden score marker cylinders. 96 wooden animeeples: chickens, cows, goats, horses, pigs, red deer, sheep and wild boar. 20 wooden wheat counters. 64 gems. A black cloth bag for the country tiles. A rule booklet Am I crazy for not understanding how that can weigh 20kg?

Welp, I guess that saves me dropping a chunk of cash on the terrain and resin boss minis add-ons but I'm hoping the base game pledge ends up being okay. For £85 you get a 2-faction box set, a third faction of your choice and whatever the stretch goals are and the game itself looks like an interesting bridge between board games and mini skirmish games.
