Ankh does have a $50 God expansion option and the models look way better than the base ones but after reading the last few pages I'll probably pass on that and Wolfenstein. I did end up investing a bit in Etherfields, please tell me that will be fine....

Vidmaster posted:Awaken Realms seems to have a pretty consistent track record. I think Nemesis is done with all their language editions fulfillment and Tainted Grail wave 2 is out soon-ish, plus the new Nemesis kickstarter is launching soon. I'm sure Etherfields will be somewhat delayed due to the pandemic, but from their latest KS updates it seems like production should be starting by the end of the month on a lot of the components. Phew, this is my first KS. Actually I'm pretty interested in Nemesis as well, i'll probably get that. Just don't wanna go too crazy with too many different games... malkav11 posted:Etherfields does feel like their riskiest project simply because there's so much mystery box to it, but I've been really impressed with everything they've done so far and the preview stuff for it has been cool so I'm not super worried. Honestly as long as I get the models I'll be happy because they look incredible so far. I got the creatures pack, thorn night and 5th player and am considering the alternate heroes pack as well. Did anyone else buy any addons? any others that I should really consider? The Moon Monster posted:Assuming that it actually hits retail and CMON doesn't implode I might pick that expansion up just for the god models. Yeah I'd probably do the same, that expansion is the one thing making me want to back. I mean I won't but it's tempting. It must be so easy to spend a lot of money of these projects.

Quixotic1 posted:So what's everyone's thoughts on Anhk? I think I might pass,as it's just seems to be complexity for its own sake as Lang's trilogy has gone on. I'll probably pass as well. It does look cool and some of the models are great but the price gets pretty steep if you get the expansions as well.

Anyone brought into this? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/fellowshipgames/vampires-egyptians-and-necromancers-for-fantasy-football/description It's on the last 24 hours and I can't decide. So many cool minis like the scarab coach assistant, in fact I mostly just want the add on models but then they won't ship until next year and who the gently caress knows if i'll want them then. e. also I got that fantasy series one because it seemed like an insanely good deal even if you don't want half the stuff

Whoever laughed at me when I said i'd only follow a couple of projects was completely right. At least I held out for a couple of weeks? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/detestablegames/dodos-riding-dinos/description This could be a good family/casual game. The models look really fun to paint as well

The Gate posted:Does anyone have any strong opinions about Mythic Games? They've got a Norse-themed survival horror kinda boardgame up on Kickstarter currently, and I'm tempted to get it for the minis alone. Seems like they've shipped other games, but a quick Google search isn't finding me anything that's standout for them one way or another. I've been following that fairly closely and there have been some concerns in the comments about rules and translation issues. Still, think I'll get it though. Has heaps of cool minis and worst case scenario I'll just read through the story stuff and paint the minis and get my money's worth from that alone.

IncredibleIgloo posted:I think maybe a lot of companies are using Kickstarter even though they don't need to is because KS seems (at least to me) to be a prime place for board game shopping now. Board games also seem to be one of the products with a proven track record, especially compared to video games or furniture or electronics. Even now, if I am board game shopping I will just hop onto KS to see what is coming up. So perhaps CMON doesn't need to use it, but there is a big market there, and I can't blame them for that, per say. Although I really dislike CMON and a lot of their practices. I'm newish to KS but I pretty much check it daily now, and i've already brought things I wouldn't have known about or seen without KS. Are there any big board game disaster campaigns? If anything happens to Awaken Realms I'll be out...a lot... but my attitude to KS is just that I might get some stuff at some point over the next few years

JazzFlight posted:Cool minis, barely-there gameplay? It looks so boring, a 4x4 grid where they're just standing there one per tile on a desert field. Also the best minis are the optional buys. Eh dunno, i'll follow it along but it does kind of feel like the bar for board games and minis is pretty high especially if you can't buy very many

Are those gaming tables really worth it? it feels like you if you're spending that much on a table then you probably have a gaming room for a dedicated table so you don't need to eat dinner on it? The magnet attachments would be useful though

The Nemesis Lockdown pledge manager is up and they have a bunch of new stuff but there's these box insert organizers that start at $60 and you need one for the stretch goals so for everything you'd need 4 which is like $275US Is that insane or am I missing something here?

This was awhile ago but thanks for the Planet Apocalypse info. In the end I ordered the base game off their site and will get one of the new expansions, mainly because of the free stuff. I think that was a good compromise from the hundreds you could spend. Anyone following awaken realms and game found? Their next game, ISS Vanguard, will be on there instead of kickstarter. Game found as a pledge manager is by far the best one I've used.

Also sucks that you can't just pledge $1 and wait to see how the shipping works out without missing out on stuff. I get why they do it but I've seen the shipping work out to be waaaaay more expensive than the estimates several times now

DLC Inc posted:man that Darkest Dungeon game made me hesitate but after 5 seconds of "should I do it?" I came to my senses. No amount of premium miniatures will make up for the fact that this seems like one of those cases where a tabletop version of a game is a really bad idea. I literally can't see any reason to turn what's a perfect system already into a slower one with more superfluous rules attached, and with less progression than the original game. I'm super undecided. I already backed HEL from these guys and at the very least i'm hoping it'll be an interesting story with some decent quality minis. But with Darkest Dungeon it looks like there's way too many triggers and upkeep stuff. And yeah the minis look good but the 3d renders always do, and if they end up sucking i could potentially be burned twice from one company. Oh and there's already another $50 expansion that has 2 of the heroes... Basically I just wish I could buy one of each mini

JazzFlight posted:Yeah, the Darkest Dungeon KS... it's starting to creep up to that "$250 if you want everything / prob at least $300 by the campaign's end" mark. I dropped it. It was giving me "Dark Souls: The Board Game" vibes where I love the miniatures and artwork, but the game is just a clunky, poorly-thought out mess. It looked like a major pain if you were trying to solo it, too, with 4 characters and their boards/cards/tokens to manage. I was reading the comments and supposedly people were pretty angry that heros were in the $50 expansions which I kinda understand. I'll wait and see what the final result is but I'm leaning towards dropping it. I still haven't finished the video game anyway

Tsilkani posted:The problem with Darkest Dungeon is that it's Kickstarter only. If you buy some and turn out to like it, you don't have an option to buy it later. You either go all in now, or you get yourself a big bag of FOMO. True, that is a good point My Etherfields arrived today, its honestly waaaaay better quality than I was expecting. It kinda feels like AR are just really good at this stuff? even their pledge manager is awesome. I don't have a ton of experience with this hobby though, i now own Etherfields & Planet Apocalypse, and i've only really played zombicide(lots of different versions), scythe and some other random games. I am starting to get a bit concerned with the amount of stuff to paint though

can we talk about ISS Vanguard here as well even though it's on GameFound? https://gamefound.com/projects/awaken-realms/iss-vanguard#/ looks good so far. it's quite a lot more for the miniatures pack and if you're not super into them then it might be a good idea to save some money and skip them as they probably won't have a ton of use

The Moon Monster posted:Yeah, I didn't get the Tainted Grail minis but they don't seem like they'd add much to the experience. Even as a fan of minis I would reconsider getting the AR mini addons. I was looking forward to painting the handful that come with the TG core game, but the quality of the casts totally put me off the idea. Of all the big mini KS companies I've seen the final product of I think they might be the worst in the "gorgeous renders do not represent the quality of the actual product" department. really? I don't know about the TG ones but the Etherfield ones are pretty good i'll probably get the ISS Vanguard ones but will see closer to the time. I loved the EF theme but I already have both Nemesis games on the way with a ton of space aliens
