Title: Vor 2.0 Kickstart
Post by: manic _miner on 16 November 2010, 04:32:53 PM
 Mike Neilsen aka Skuzzy has started a Kickstart thing to raise funds to get Vor 2.0 into production.Info can be found on the link below.

 Vor is one of my favorite game universes with some very good races.The Growlers and Pharon being some of my favorites.

Kind of a different way to get money....

I've got a bunch of Growlers and such at home, I should consider helping out.

 It will be cool to see the game back on the shelves.A whole new lot of art work will be done for it too.

Also liked the game very much.

Especially the fact that you can build your own army just like you want.
Would be good to get a new Edition of it.

I loved VOR, nice background and rules but unfortunately some strange minis. Some were really good (Pharon), while others (Zykhee) were just too strange for my liking.
see some of my minis...

Anyway I am very curious how this endeavor to raise money will end.

 Agis just pop all the Vor minis in a box and send them over to me  :D.

 Hope to see more Pharon get done.

Nice try!  8) 8)

I second the Pharon! Best minis and background in the game IMO!

This is like the 3rd or 4th time trying to get the game going again?

Cursed, destined to fail. Overwhelming indifference in the tiny ambivalent wargaming community will be the doom of VOR. And China Town. And 1999...

I never got into VOR 1 as I was too busy playing VOID at the time. I also didn't really like a lot of the models. I wish him the best of luck but frankly the donation rewards don't persuade me to pledge a donation.

Overwhelming indifference in the tiny ambivalent wargaming community will be the doom of VOR.

I hate to admit it but that is how I feel about Vor, and Warzone, and VOID.

Ok, maybe I could get into VOID again 8)

*Sigh* Warzone...why did you have to mention that one...it's like your first love...you never really get over it ;)

 I agree with lots of you about other miniatures games that have came and gone.Warzone,Void,Chronopia,Celtos,Leviathan,1999,Kryomek and others too still have a fan base.Now if you had the chance to help bring them back would you do it?

 The miniatures might not have been upto everyone's taste but I still think that the majority were and still are good sculpts.More variety would have been nice.This is something which I hope will be done with the new range.

 I wish Mike all the best with this and hope to helpout.The kickstart idea is very good.If the target is not reached by the date the money is not taken from your account either.A very good way of pre-ordering the book.

I think I would have supported it if I had played it before, so I totally agree and may still get into VOR 2.0 when it sees the light of day 8)

Malebolgia> well, it is your first love isn't it? We might get back into it after all, you never know what the future holds 8)

 The Warzone forums are still pretty busy.I have boxes of the miniatures hid away.Even got one of the HUrricane walkers still in its box.

Personally I'm getting ready to give VOID another go. Been musing on this for some time and figured that since there's nothing official going on with VOID 1.1 I've begun to fix it up myself. But I won't need 25.000$ to complete that part of it ;)

Sigh, all these great games!

I think Warzone and Chronopia are great. I loved the games, and the backgrounds, and the miniatures. Chronopia was by far my favorite fantasy setting, it was very dark and I liked the spin on dwarves and elves.

 Totally agree with you bc99.Chronopia was a great setting and the different take on the races was great.It was a shame that the miniatures line was not complete.The Wolf Clan Dwarves were missing loads of models.I am trying to sort that out myself  ;).

I've noticed, I've got your website bookmarked. I have many of the dwarves, and am continuing to watch what you develop. I wish I had a way to get some of the old swamp goblin rare-releases, such as the Sentinel. I believe they released that.

Anyway, I miss playing Chronopia with the friends. Everybody who plays it has moved away long ago.

 Keep watching as I have more Dwarves due soon.

 Ask for some of the stuff on the Chronopia forums.They are very helpfull.I made my own Swamp Fiend.
