So rumour is now that Cursed City was a limited release and that they won't be printing a second wave, at least any time soon. Not sure how much stock to put into that, but certainly glad I snagged my copy when I did.

I kinda doubt that because it seems like they've spent a fair amount of time and money making and hyping sprues which (at least according to Goonhammer) seem to have fairly limited re-use value but then again: this is the SG thread? loving hell: why not just go for resin if they're going to be such a limited run?

Even if there's only one printing I wouldn't exactly call something that sent 8 copies to most FLGS plus webstore and gw store sales a particularly limited run.

As far as I understand, all the printing is done in China. They're probably still waiting for the next shipment of boxes and rulebooks to come in, rather than this being a limited print. It's idiots spreading nonsense.

It's probably nonsense but GW is not helping by not being clear about when new stock can be expected (if it can be expected) when it sold out in less than an hour as preorder in many regions. So GW is still handling this badly IMHO, they could just go out and say "don't worry guys, we'll print more, but it'll take a while, just chill". But they won't. And the ones gaining from all this are the scalpers.

Depends who you ask. Some GW reps are saying it was a limited release, but its also a game that is confirmed to have expansions. So I think there's a near 0% chance it won't get a reprint. From a Cursed City Group:

That's not a rep saying it's a limited release, it's a rep trying very hard not to accidentally "confirm" something that hasn't been confirmed and won't be confirmed until it happens.  She could be sharing a shipping container with the next printing and no good rep is ever going to say "yes, it will be printed again, please quote me on that".

Simply stating they intend to print more or not. If they don’t know yet they can explain the “challenging manufacturing” circumstances, and say they’ll update as they have more news. Radio silence is the worst thing you can do, and it leads to poo poo like the poor CS rep who was getting grilled by people.

Yeah when the same thing happened with the Indomitus box over the summer they announced same day they were doing a print to order run the following weekend. Where does the stuff about printing in China come from? Paper products are some of the most expensive things to outsource overseas so I can't imagine they'd start with this game.

I can imagine whatever the outsourcing cost it's still cheaper to get someone in Shenzhen rather Sheffield do it. Made in Britain is expensive and not necessarily better.

I think the way it's phrased is fairly unambiguous- the rulebook says, in the second sentence, 'This epic adventure is the Ulfenkarn in Peril quest- the first quest in the story of the Cursed City.' Obviously it's not a guarantee but it seems pretty clear they're talking about future paid content.

FWIW every 9th Ed 40k Codex I have here was printed in the UK not China. Whether using UK printers when they feel like it extends to board pieces, tokens, cards etc. I don't know; The last GW boxed game I bought was Dreadfleet so that's hardly relevant now (nor any fun.)

As someone who plays a lot of Fantasy Flight games, especially Arkham Horror, I'm used to this. TONS of expansion cycles and packs were simply out of stock for months and months, and only now just got randomly restocked for about 75% of it. There's no rhyme or reason to it but I do blame Covid for some of it due to many games companies not being able to do much at the height of pandemic last summer and only now just getting back to some normalcy. Quite frankly I'm surprised GW has done as much as they have though they suffered the same problems---much, if not all, of the Death Guard was completely unattainable until weeks before the new codex, wherein all of it went back in stock.

Out of curiosity I checked the GW rulebooks I've bought in the last few years. My 8E rulebook was printed in the UK, but my Indomitus book, all 8E/9E codexes and Titanicus books all say printed in China. There was also some speculation that Titanicus moved away from the heavy cardstock terminals to thin card ones because of supply issues. Apparently they can make the thin ones in-house.

Paper stock being the determinate factor could make up the cost benefit. Normally stowage and tariff fees make paper products an unattractive item to produce overseas, not to mention paper has a higher breakage factor when spending weeks at sea compared to most other products. If the stock you need is made in China anyway that's when it gets cheaper to printer there too since you'd still be paying the tariffs and stowage to get the stock to your domestic printer. On a Cursed City note, do you face stronger versions of the same enemies or do you just stop worrying about the bat swarms at a certain point? I was making some melusai the other day and started thinking of uses for the extra heads they give you.

As you level up, you tend to face larger packs of enemies. E.g. at rank 0, a adversary group might be 2 bat swarms. At rank 4, you might face 5 bat swarms. Stats for enemies don't level up from what I've seen. They do get tougher after nightfall though.

Also unless the sealed envelope in Cursed City that you are supposed to open after completing the last mission has a note that says "GET hosed", there will be expansions. I highly doubt that after Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress which was a huge success, they announce "The Next Warhammer Quest", make it a limited run that sells out in seconds, and discontinue BSF at the same time.

There's also the issue that the dwarf hero's building instructions were missing from the rest of the instructions, and featured on a little "errata" pamphlet. They may be redesigning the building instructions to include that character as to avoid having to continue to print that pamphlet. Redesigning, sending out for a confirmation print and then printing the new instructions may take a short while, and maybe they're not saying anything until the new instructions are approved.

When it sold out in seconds? Will they make like a non limited version with different art? The hell is going on. Even Indomitus got an MtO so...

"We are not expecting it to return online" means that it hasn't been announced and they aren't going to be the ones to announce it. Everyone seriously needs to chill the gently caress out about Cursed City, you'd think the world was ending because the community team hasn't stuck their necks out to promise a product that they don't know will be available any time soon.
