Title: Dark Souls! Now a board game!!!
Post by: ImperialMagnus on 19 April 2016, 09:24:19 PM

Anyone seen or looked much into the new Dark Souls tabletop game thats just gone live on kickstarter?

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/steamforged/dark-soulstm-the-board-game

I've never backed anything on kickstarter before, kinda tempted, could use the minis for other games aswell like frostgrave.
Few people griping in the comments section, that normal on most kickstarters?

Thoughts/opinions on the game?

A bit pricey but the renders of those minis look stunning.

I have a lot of friends who are fanatical.about the copter games and are definitely backing this.

They have nearly raised 1 million already, the list of extras/stretch goals is quite big!

I backed it XD

Over 2.5 million pounds so far, and still 4 days to go. This looks to be a smashing success, with over 22k backers. 4 expansions are unlocked so far, each one adding multiple miniatures and other bits. It might be worth backing it just for the miniatures alone, as you get a lot of them.

I like the concept of the minis. Very dark. I haven't played the games, but I'd be tempted to off the back of their look. It's interesting to see a kickstarter that doesn't have exclusive add ons, so I'm certainly tempted to drop a base pledge down.

Some of the best computer games I've played (well playing DS3 right now) so I backed this immediately.  I'm not only looking forward to playing the game itself but also using the miniatures in Dragon Rampant.

So I backed it today (late backer option) good news for us they unlocked all the stretch goals for free, so I believe we got all the white summon sign minis. So excited for Siegward of catarina and lucatile of mirrah. Been looking for proper minis to represent them as well as a half way decent pyromancer for once.
The actual game I'm not too eager for lol. Just the minis on this end.
Edit: Scratch that, did someone say solo play! How did I miss that (1-4 players)..
