Title: First review of Dracula’s America: Forbidden Power
Post by: Paboook on June 01, 2018, 09:45:41 PM: As H.P. Lovecraft fan I see the Church of Dagon as a must have. Although the Salem Sisterhood has pretty interesting background as well 👌 Madness rules look both funny and brutal.

Thanks to the guys from Wargames Illustrated!

Post by: nicknorthstar on June 09, 2018, 04:47:37 PM: We're going to run a Nickstarter pre-order program for Forbidden Power, beginning next week.

There will be two new posses for the game, the Salem Sisterhood and the Church of Dagon.

Keep an eye on the North Star website for details, and I'll post here as well.

Contrary to what I put in the last reply, there are no Deep Ones after all.

Post by: ink the troll on June 15, 2018, 03:52:05 PM: Will the Zombie Townsfolk and the demon that was part of the same range eventually get re-listed to the shop once all the pledges have been delivered? Would be a bit sad if they'd end up oop permanently.

Or CP models (they are like little fishes for the size):

Or the impressive (and I think they are OOP) Carnivale ones:

...and not forget Blind Beggar Miniatures, Black Cat bases, Reaper... I prefer North Star chums put their efforts in doing characters who are difficult to find, and options Lovecraftian creatures are (mostly) easy to find around different manufacturers.

Post by: Kommando_J on June 16, 2018, 01:05:13 AM: The zombie townsfolk can already be bought.
Title: Re: First review of Dracula’s America: Forbidden Power
Post by: ink the troll on June 16, 2018, 11:39:22 AM: Odd, they neither showed up in the DA beastiary nor in the search yesterday. But then the site was loading fairly slow and acted a bit odd- probably I just looked for them at the wrong time. Who would've thought Zombies are that shy?

Post by: fred on June 24, 2018, 08:42:46 AM: I’ve just gone in for the book and the salam sister hood. Went for the full pack as a few more cowboys will be useful.

Post by: nicknorthstar on June 28, 2018, 03:16:05 PM: We're nearly at the 2nd Spend Goal in the Nickstarter:
http://nstarmagazine.com/DRACULA_SHADOWS_OF_THE_WEST_FORBIDDEN_POWER.htm (http://nstarmagazine.com/DRACULA_SHADOWS_OF_THE_WEST_FORBIDDEN_POWER.htm)

We've also struck a deal with our chum Bob Murch to bring his Deep Ones into the UK. It's part of us taking the whole Crucible Crush range eventually, but he's rushing the Deep Ones over so they can go out with the Nickstarter. I've also worked out a 'post free' deal for people to add them to the Nickstarters already placed, the Nickstarter page has all the details.

Cheers
Nick

Post by: fred on June 29, 2018, 07:55:07 PM: Cool!

This is ramping up steadily. I really like the look of the Angry Spirit model, so lots more people need to join in!!

Title: Re: First review of Dracula’s America: Forbidden Power
Post by: dartfrog on July 14, 2018, 01:26:02 PM: Mine arrived today as well. Must say after a quick scan it's looking good.

Post by: Sir_Theo on July 14, 2018, 01:58:06 PM: Got mine on Thursday. Looks great. I haven't actually played Draculas America yet but I'm going to remedy that soon, and hopefully play through both expansions. Ive got a friend whos a fan of all thing Cthulhu so he's excited by forbidden powers
Title: Re: First review of Dracula’s America: Forbidden Power
Post by: Kommando_J on July 15, 2018, 06:07:33 AM: Stuff has arrived, so far looking good, have notivced tough that the new hired guns are bigger than the older DA minis, heroic to DA's ''normal'' 28mm.
Title: Re: First review of Dracula’s America: Forbidden Power
Post by: Paboook on July 24, 2018, 12:43:31 PM: My Nickstarter arrived few days ago.

♣ The tokens are great (although I wish the Spirit tokens were blue and Jam tokens red and not the other way around).
♦ Also received a cool zombie gentleman as a bonus. Will fit nicely to my converted zombie kid and zombie lady.
♠ The free Kin faction list seems to be fun.
♥ I am in the middle of the book already. Illustrations by RU-MOR are lovely as usually.

Really happy with the DA products :)
