OGRE Mk3 I think. SJGames has a kickstarter up right now that has a plastic version of that mini for use in the upcoming 6th edition of OGRE.

I don't know if it's worse that a probably terrible 1970s game with potato sculpts gets kickstarter funding or if those miniatures masquerading as board games but with decent sculpts get even more funding.

OGRE is only a 70's game in the sense that the first edition came out in the 70's. It's one of Steve Jackson's pet projects so the rules are actually fairly solid. Also, again, this is only a minis KS, the actual OGRE kickstarter made nearly a million dollars and financed the production of an enormous box of stuff for backers as well as convinced them to pull the trigger on production of 6th edition.

The tank silhouette on the box looks pretty cool actually. Like a battleship

So what you're telling me is that I got it backwards and OGRE may be a decent game with lovely minis vs. Dark Souls/Conan/etc. with amazing minis and a terrible game. Still wonder which one is worse...probably the minis, even though at KS prices they tend to be a steal.

I played the new version of OGRE but while it's a game I enjoy, I don't need a box that's like 4 feet wide full of poo poo to play. I think it really does work better as a magazine pack-in game or a one-off larger scale convention game than as a game you just come back to and invest a lot into.

Personally I think they went overboard on the Designer's Edition, but like most wargames you do need a good chunk of space to store and play it in, yeah.

I would compare dark souls to coop munchkin but with a board. It's pretty bad.

Yeah I wanted to get dark souls for the minis because the models look pretty great, but man the rules did not appeal to me at all. The combat sounds awfully tedious.

The shadows of brimstone Kickstarter has people talking about how kingdom death is going to probably syphon money from SoB and there's people actively defending the titty models. Edit: apparently anyone who has trouble getting over the models is a closed minded prude and the game is serious and dark like Game of Thrones and also full of great mechanics.

Are the games similar at all? One is a weird west thing as far as I understand (Flying Frog can't make a website worth a drat), and KD is gothic horror anime wankfest that's super expensive.

SoB is a more straight forward dungeon crawler. This Kickstarter is for a feudal Japan/lovecraftian horror. The comment section is just full of angry people preaching Doom. There were biotruths a few days ago about how the female alt models should have different stats

While would not agree that women are identical to men, that guy is still full of poo poo. I guess those are alternate sculps for classes instead of named characters, yeah?

Yeah in the original it was saloon girl/piano player, bandito/bandita, and then just male/female gunslinger/lawman. Not sure what the other core set had. They're neat little add ins but the dude was super grumpy about them being mechanically the same

Well, it's as logical as thinking that superexpensive butique fetish game will siphon weird west fans. Unless KD:M is some economy class release, that is.

But imagine boner popping... With other people. Multiple boners popping in unison.

From what I have seen and heard of KD there is a game with lots of interesting potential that has had tons of thought go into it along with a very well sculpted line of minis to build the world with. Then it was attached to a crap load of really pervy stuff and sold as a huge box with an eye-watering price tag. It's a real shame that loads of people will probably never find out if it is actually good because they aren't sure if the pervy crap can be avoided or justify paying that much for something that may just be too drat creepy.

The craziest part is it's supposed to be a campaign have have divided into discrete acts and they don't even bother with any kind of starter version where you can then buy your way through the game.
