(KICKSTARTER -- February 27, 2018) Monolith: Batman - Gotham City Chronicles

Thanks zeebeast, toggled the sidebar off, so Victor's gun shows on the post. Still have to scroll to see the rest of the figure. At least I now know there is something there. ^__^.

Viewing pics with a bigger width as 1024 is IMO a real pain. 
But I have a feeling that many really do not know how to rescale a picture, or are unable to do so because of (C) issues...

It's live! Assuming you can get it to click through.

I am in.
Almost at one and a half million,
in less than a day.

[tnjrp]

All in

Still ways to go until the assumed Real Super Secret Funding Goal tho, was it like 3 million or something like that?

[beefcake]

Want to go in on this but sadly won't. I know it would just languish in a cupboard somewhere.

[Munindk]

I'm in for the base game. Most of the sculpts I dont like, turned out to be in the expansions or stretch goals, so I'm happy

I wont be playing the boardgame. I'll definitely use some for SMF, but I might give Knight Models Batman game a try or a mix?

As a bonus the Knight Models game uses the same scale (35 or 32mm, I can never remember which) as Monoliths game, so there's a good source of extra figures and replacements. Harley and possibly Ivy will need replacing.

[tnjrp]

I'm most disappointed with the Harley version they have myself. More so because the models tend to match the box cover art fairly well apart from her. Hopefully the project soars to such height that they need to come up with a "Suicide Squad Harley" to fill up stretch goal niches

[Marine0846]

Over all I am very happy with what I see.
Hard to wait till 2019 for the game to come out.
But that's life.

If anyone wants to check out the rules (WIP), there is a PDF on line:
https://the-overlord.net/index.php?/topic/437-batman-gotham-city-chronicles-rulebook-draft-version-101/

And there are a handful of reviews and playthroughs to watch on YouTube, from The Dice Tower, Beasts Of War and myself 

[tnjrp]

I'm a little surprised with the slow growth of the last week or so with this. It's very likely to go over the (semi)Secret Magical Real Funding Goal of 3 mil eventually but still. Maybe Monolith kind of painted themselves into a corner when they promised all stretch goals to every backer so there is less incentive to go All In instead of hanging on to the base game pledge at less than half the price. AI pledges might have more pull if extension stretch goals were exclusive to that.

[Munindk]

I dont think anyone would go for the base game, if it didnt include all the stretch goals.

I do think its a mistake not to reveal more than one or two stretch goals at a time. Some potential backers might be waiting for specific models and right now, they dont know if they'll even show up as a goal.

I’m genuinely relieved that I don’t really like the style of the minis in this one... otherwise I’d be spending money I can’t afford

I'm a little surprised with the slow growth of the last week or so with this.

Typically, to continue funding during the mid-campaign, creators will add the add-ons. Monolith, however, put them up front, so all this money was added at the beginning of the campaign, rather than the middle.

KS reveal only the current and next SG to keep interest, and because it lets them adjust the SG goal posts. This lets them have some control over the rate of funding. Also, many backers think the SG's are fixed, anyway, so they're just going to set the goals suchthat one SG is hit per day.

[BadgerTheBrave]

Sometimes, they have been placing two stretch goals at the same time.
But don't get to comfortable, Monolith are going to shake things up on their next project.
They hate this "stretch goal" thing. They feel it is too superficial.

But whats not to like...
