Kickstarter has been launched! Here is the campaign URL:

Bad Lands is a Co-Op Western Horror Survival Game where you play the roles of rival gang members turned town defenders, forced to put their differences aside to fight off a vicious onslaught of Skinwalkers (were-beasts) and many other folklore creatures.
Curse of the Skinwalker is the first game, focusing on werewolves and other were-things, along with other corrupted animals like Jackalopes or Chupacabras. We do have other separate-but-compatible games planned for other themes, this is just the first.
The game is fast and fun and easy to learn. It plays similar to other survival games like Zombicide, you can use the heroes right out of the box for a quick game, or build your own heroes, adventures and campaigns totally from scratch and earn fame and fortune RPG-style.

The game shares many similar rules with our skirmish game, Blackwater Gulch. You can use any BWG miniatures in your games if you wish, since we'll have downloadable Hero Cards for every BWG character, or you can use them for your own custom heroes. There are no miniatures in Bad Lands though, we will be using cardstock pawns similar to games like Pathfinder to keep the prices way down. We will do miniatures later on though, but first we need to get the core game funded. We're planning to launch the game on Kickstarter on February 1st if all goes well. We're working on the "how to play" video and hope to have that done in a few days to a week or so.
We've been working on this game for the last 2 years now and are really excited to see it all finally coming together! So, head on over to our website to check it out! You can see some more pictures and also download the preview rulebook. Or leave a reply or PM with any questions :)

Little update, we finished the preliminary loot cards now. The design my change slightly in the end, once we are finished drawing up all the stat icons. For now, I placed each of the core loot cards here in this PDF
http://www.gangfightgames.com/badlands/downloads/BadLandsSampleLootCards.pdf (http://www.gangfightgames.com/badlands/downloads/BadLandsSampleLootCards.pdf)
Gray cards are uncommon, there will be multiple copies of each making up almost half of the 64-card deck. Green cards are uncommon, blue are rare, purple are infamous and orange is legendary. You'll only be able to get Legendary cards in the core boxed game(s). Later on when we do all new stand-alone games, each one will have a different legendary item.
Beast Packs will have 10 extra loot cards too... 4 commons, 3 uncommon, 2 rare and 1 infamous. There will be some repeats for common items but each new beast pack will have a few new loot cards too that don't come in the core box.
The first beast pack we're planning is Werebulls, they'll have an Alpha Skinwalker Bison, 2 Skinwalker Bulls and 3 Hodag minions. That will be the first stretch goal and an add-on item, and each goal will also add a new bonus hero and/or monster to the core game too

Hey folks
Our Kickstarter preview page is up, we’re planning to hit the launch button on Feb 1st.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gangfightgames/1965724351?token=8a0cdb41 (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gangfightgames/1965724351?token=8a0cdb41)
We still have to add some more graphical menus, and finish the how to play video, and we’re still waiting for a few more art pieces to come in (I think the werebison is my favorite :) ). Also as soon as the campaign launches we’ll add update #1 to act as a menu listing all of the Blackwater Gulch gangs and solo minis with photos. Since there’s a lot we thought it would clutter up the main page too much. Throughout the campaign we’ll also be posting updates with hero & monster bios and fluff.
Stay tuned :)

Just got some new art to share. First, here's a standard werewolf. The one I've been showing is the Alpha version, this one will be a Fiend, which is what we call the the regular mid-level beasts.
(http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/27/682152_mb-Werewolf.jpg)
Next up, here's a standard Werecat.
(http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/27/682154_mb-Werecat.jpg)
And here's the standard wererat. At first I wanted them to be "wild west skaven" but after some thought I prefer this look, but the alpha version will be much meaner. The Wererat beast pack will be the 2nd stretch goal.
(http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/27/682153_mb-Wererat.jpg)
And last is the first demon in the game, the Jersey Devil. I think i'm going to name him the "Barrens Devil", since New Jersey is pretty far from "out west" .. but it's a local legend and I wanted to include it, since it's still a folklore creature. He will be the Bonus Beast that gets added to the core game if we hit the 2nd stretch goal, and he'll be a boss level monster.
(http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/27/682155_mb-Jersey%20Devil.jpg)
I should have some more to share in a couple days :)
-
Next batch of artwork is done!
First we have the colorized Alpha Werecat
(http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/29/682901_mb-Alpha%20Werecat.jpg)
Next here is the standard Werebat
(http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/29/682899_mb-Werebat.jpg)
And a standard Werebear
(http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/29/682900_mb-Werebear.jpg)
Next. here is the Alpha Werebison, who will be the boss in the Werebull beast pack that will be for the first stretch goal
(http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/29/682897_mb-Alpha%20Werebison.jpg)
And last, here is the Sasquatch, who will be a bonus fiend. We’ll add 2 of them into the core game if we make it to the Werebull stretch goal. I was going for an “evil chewbacca” kind of look with him :)
(http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/29/682898_mb-Sasquatch.jpg)
All of these will be getting colorized in a few weeks. Next on the list will be to get the video finished. I’ve been having trouble with my camera but I think I finally got it all captured onto my PC now, so it’s just a matter of editing 45 minutes of me droning on about different rules into a quick 5 minute video :)
-
The "how to play" video is finished. It came out to 12 minutes which is about twice as long as I was hoping, but considering it was about an hour to begin with I guess that's not too bad :) I just did the first few turns of the game then jumped to the end to show how to figure out who wins if it's a single game, or how much XP you'd earn if it was a campaign game.
This was just mean to show the basic mechanics so I just used 2 heroes to speed it up. Most games will use 4 heroes and have twice as many beasts spawning, so the fights will be a lot more challenging.

Ty to use bigger dice for the next video. Maybe lighter plastic stands, the dark ones make it difficult to see where the figures are on the boards at the angle of the video. (maybe just edge the stands in white for the heroes and another color for the monters?)
Looks good so far.
I know you'll eventually want to get figures for all the characters/monsters. Will you eventually release a 2nd Edition box with figures? And an 'upgrade
set for folks who get the 1st Edition?
-
Good ideas :) The final game will have larger plain white dice but I actually don't have any. I have dozens of different kinds of dice, none of them are plain :) When I get the final copy of the game I'll set up a day where I can film some friends playing it and get closeups and edit it properly. These are all print on demand components from The Game Crafter, the final version will be much higher quality.
If I ever did an all new version with minis it would be a mega 2nd edition that would happen many years from now. What I am hoping to do is get minis sculpted as a "beast faction" for Blackwater Gulch, and do a BWG 2.0 rulebook. So, both games would be compatible with each other, it's just Bad Lands will be an adventure board game and Blackwater Gulch will be a skirmish battle game, both with the same combat rules just different play styles. I also have plans for other full separate-but-compatible Bad Lands games, the next will have an undead theme with Wendigos and voodoo zombies, and the 3rd will be more like a dungeon (gold mine) crawler theme with Tommyknockers as the main enemy, they're basically like goblins or morlocks.
So I was planning to keep Bad Lands as a brand with the cardstock style pawns and tokens, and keep all the miniatures under the Blackwater Gulch brand, but both will be compatible. Kind of like Dust Tactics & Dust Warfare.
-
I would be super interested in miniatures of the weird creatures.
-
So would I :)
Like I said I'll definitely be doing miniatures for them at some point. The sculpting and mold prices are going to be pretty steep though with so many different beasts, I decided to start with the board game that would be a lower initial investment, and then I plan to use the profits from that to put toward the sculpts and future Bad Lands stuff too. Between getting a good sculptor, molds made, pro painting, etc, the costs come out to at least $1000 per mini.
I could have done a KS for the minis, but these days I don't think a campaign with just a couple greens like my first one for BWG will be successful, you really need to show all the sculpts ahead of time. So it's a big investment and I feel like if I'm doing all that I may as well skip KS and their fees and just go straight to retail with the minis. So if all goes well I hope to start getting some beast sculpts done this spring or summer :)
-
those miniatures would be cool, I'd buy some

Today's update:
Howdy pardners!
Wow, we’re off to a great start. Thank you all for your support so far! We need help spreading the word, there are so many gaming sites out there, I’ll never be able to find them all. Please share this project with all of your friends or post a link on your favorite forums or facebook or anywhere you can :)
Throughout the course of the campaign I’ll be posting updates with some of the game’s background, hero & villain bios and other aspects of the game. So let's start with the two different ways to play.
The “default” way to play is Survival Mode. This is the co-op rules that were shown in the How to Play video, where your Heroes are suddenly caught in the middle of a beast assault. All Heroes hail from rival gangs in the town of Blackwater Gulch, but they are forced to work together if they want to survive the night. Still, each Hero wants to come out on top, and the one who scores the most kills and scores the most loot will win. Combat is easier in Survival Mode, the beasts are easier to kill, but there are a whole lot of them and if you allow them to swarm around your Hero, they will rip you to shreds real quick. Also, since the enemies attack automatically, it's quite easy (and fun) to play solo games too.
The second way to play is Adventure Mode. In this mode, one player will become the Overlord or Game Master, we just call him the Villain Player. He will set up the board, place the objectives and control all of the beasts, while all other players will control the Heroes. The combat rules change slightly, unlike Survival Mode where Heroes can automatically wound their enemies, in Adventure Mode the Villain player will roll to hit and make saving throws the same way Heroes do. This makes the beasts much more powerful, so there won’t be as many. The Villain player builds his beast back based on the amount of Heroes in the game. First he chooses one Boss like an Alpha Skinwalker. Then he can select 2 fiends like normal Skinwalkers, or 3 Minions for each Hero in the adventure.
Both game modes can be played as a single game, or they can be linked together into ongoing campaigns. I'll go more into detail on the campaigns next time :)
Thanks again for your help!
More to come...
-
Last time, I said I would go more into detail on the campaign system, but I decided to change things up and do the first Hero preview instead. So, here are the first 4 Heroes, plus a bonus Hero courtesy of Bombshell Miniatures!

Azalea is a new recruit for the Widowmakers gang. Her pistol skills rival even the most infamous Gunslingers in town, and her short fuse has earned her quite a reputation in just the few weeks she's been around.

J. W. Clarkson is an infamous hunter of beasts, come to town at the request of the church to investigate the recent Skinwalker curse plaguing the land. He comes from a long line hunters, roaming the land protecting an unwitting populace from dark things that lurk behind the shadows.

We included Dusty Paige in our original skirmish game, Blackwater Gulch, as a bonus hired gun. Due to popular demand, we will be including her in Bad Lands as well! She will have a downloadable PDF hero card, along with all of the original Blackwater Gulch characters, and you can use her miniature instead of a pawn. You can buy her figure from the Bombshell Miniatures (http://bombshell-miniatures.highwire.com/product/dusty) online store.
That's all for today! Tomorrow we'll show off some of the Villains :)
-
What would a survival or adventure game be without lots bad guys to kill? In Curse of the Skinwalker, your primary villain is going to be a faction of sorts, simply called Beasts. In time, I hope to have several other boxed games based on other factions, with Undead things planned for the next one, and also mixing in lots of other folklore critters along the way too.
We call all bad guys "Villains", and there are 3 types. Minions, Fiends and Bosses.
(https://s3.amazonaws.com/ksr/assets/003/241/607/ec6b861c03da29f2461baf9fc09e8983_large.jpg)
Minions, like this Chupacabra, are like Villain foot soldiers, or cannon fodder. They are weak, but numerous. In a 1 on 1 fight with a hero, chances are they will be squished pretty easily, but if you aren't careful and allow them to group up around you, you'll be in for a world of hurt. Minion cards have a green border, and most of their stat lines are going to be pretty much the same as what's above. But, each one will have a special ability to set it apart from his minion cousins.
(https://s3.amazonaws.com/ksr/assets/003/241/622/86cfc18b6429ed267455e5c46a849350_large.jpg)
Fiends are a bit tougher than Minions, but still not too difficult 1 on 1. Again, they rely on outnumbering hapless Heroes, and some like this Werewolf with his Pack Hunter ability will be even more formidable in greater numbers. Fiend cards have a yellow border.
(You may notice he's not called a "Skinwalker Wolf" anymore. I decided to just stick to were-whatever for these beasts, just feels more natural that way.)
(https://s3.amazonaws.com/ksr/assets/003/241/643/8e4b15064d76d423c8987833aec4d1fe_large.jpg)
Lastly, we have the Bosses, denoted by the red border on their cards. Bosses are as tough as Heroes, and they all have two different abilities. For Skinwalkers, they will always have an animal aspect ability, in this case, all Werewolves have the Pack Hunter ability. His second ability, Throat Ripper, will make sure a fallen Hero stays down. Smellin' Salts won't work if your jugular is missing!
Perhaps you would like to know more about the Skinwalker Curse? Here is a page taken from the church's definitive guide on Lycanthropy, by Dr. Samuel D. Manchester III, Esq., Monster Hunter Extraordinaire.
(https://s3.amazonaws.com/ksr/assets/003/241/676/9a29ad89a74194c641fe86e2c902940e_large.jpg)
That's all for today! Next time I'll show off some loot, because what would a survival or adventure game be without lots of loot?

I'm happy to announce that this campaign is now EU-Friendly! Sorry we didn't start out that way, but there were some details that had to be worked out first. Good news is EU shipping will be a little cheaper than the rest of the world, pretty much the same as the Canadian price. I've created a new pledge level for EU shipping, even though it's the same price as Canada, just so it won't be confusing. If you're in a EU country, feel free to switch your pledge to the new one :) I've gotten more than numerous requests for a EU-Friendly option so I'm hoping this will bring in new blood! As usual, go tell your friends about Bad Lands :)
Next up, I've also gotten a lot of requests for info on more stretch goals. So, I added the goal for the Wererat beast pack, which will also include a bonus Epic Boss added to the core game, the Jersey Devil. Epic Bosses are even tougher than your average alpha skinwalker. The wererat pack will be a $41,000 goal. We basically need $8k for each new beast pack. I've also got plans for lizards (werecroc?) and insects (Mothman?), but I don't have any art for those yet.
Last but not least, I'm also going to start sculpting the Beast miniatures for the eventual Blackwater Gulch beast faction expansion. Just like the gang members, you can also use the beast minis in your Bad Lands games if you want. It will take quite a while to sculpt everything, I'll just be doing 1 or 2 new sculpts at a time and selling them on my site. The first sculpt I'll be doing is the Alpha Werewolf, he's being sculpted by Clint McLean, the fella that made the infamous Sharktipede! Best of all, I will include a free copy of the Alpha Werewolf miniature for all backers who are pledging to receive a copy of the game (basically $55 or more), and I'll also offer him separately too. I'll make a more official announcement about that around the web when I get some screenshots to show off, but I'm not sure when exactly.
-
Here is the first screenshot for the Alpha Werewolf miniature that will be free for all backers getting a copy of the game :)
So far he’s unposed, and lacking a lot of detail like hair and a tail and other things, but still a great start. I'll post new pics as I get them.
(http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/2/9/685596_sm-Alpha%20Werewolf%20Render%201.jpg) (http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/685596-Alpha%20Werewolf%20Render%201.html)
He’s going to be “a head or 2” taller than your average man, but I want to try and still keep him on a 30mm base. Most of the men we have are a bit small for our 30mm bases, so he should still fit good. Once he’s all done, we’ll be tweaking and reposing and shrinking him down to make 2 different normal werewolves too, those will be normal man sized. I love 3D sculpting :)
-
Hey folks
Got some more sculpt screenshots :) Now we have the Alpha Werewolf with the totem staff, and 2 regular werewolves without weapons. I just asked if we can add in the detail to the staff like we have it on the artwork, and to vary the ripped pants a little so they aren’t all the same. But we’re almost there :)
Wadaya think?

(http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/2/20/688703_sm-Werewolf%20Sculpt%202.jpg)
Also, here’s a wall of text about the new campaign, from my previous update:
I’m still waiting on the final prices from the printer and don’t expect to have them for a couple of weeks, but I do have some guesstimates I can use to prepare for the next campaign. I’m mostly just waiting on the costs for sending a shipment to the UK. What I’m planning on is a new funding goal of $30,000 for the next campaign, but the price of the game will be $45 USD ($60 CAN/EU & $65 ROW). And all pledges $45 or more will get the Alpha Werewolf miniature for free. We’re still looking at mid-march for the relaunch.
I have stretch goals planned that will all add in something new to the core game permanently. The first goal will be to add in an extra punchboard and more encounter cards for a wider variety of villains and will include things like zombies, ghouls, wendigos, witches and more (rather than doing them in a whole separate expansion later on). Then the next goal will be to add in 2 bonus board tiles and some new heroes & loot. The 3rd goal will include a printed “Adventurer’s Guide” book, that will have all of the rules for custom heroes, adventure mode (having a GM control the beasts) and a multi-part campaign. If we don’t hit that goal, the Adventurer’s Guide will still be done as a free PDF and print-on-demand book, the stretch goal is to be able to include the nice printed book in the game box.
For add-on items, we’ll have the Blackwater Gulch miniatures again, but Game Salute has just dropped the prices on them, so they will be much cheaper. Gang sets will be $15, solo hired guns will be $5, and the BWG rulebook $10. I’ll also have separate copies of the Alpha Werewolf plus 2 different standard werewolf minis, and I’ll see if I can get some more sculpts done too, but I’m not sure how much they will cost yet.
I’ll also have Hero Mats done for add-ons as well, they will be a 9.25” x 7.75” custom printed mouse mat for $10, or a pack of 4 for $35. They’re designed for you to lay out your Hero Card and loot and kills to keep things more organized. I wanted to stick to that smaller size so they can fit inside the 10x10” game box for easy storage without folding or rolling them up.
So that’s where I’m at now. I’m waiting on pics of the final werewolf sculpts, and new art for the Wendigo, Rake and Zombies so I’ll share that as soon as it comes in :)
-
I like the wolves, especially the last pose.
-
Today I got the concept sketches for the Rake creature and the Wendigo. Both of these will be undead, rather than Beasts.
The rake is a more modern myth (like the Montock also, which is based on the Montauk Monster), but I wanted to include it because it's so creepy. He'll be a mid-level Fiend. There will be lots of different Wendigos, this first one is more of a Native American, but there will be cowboy and girl wendigos too. In Bad Lands, they are basically vampires.. but much more savage and brutal than your usual vamps, and they definitely don't sparkle.
I'm also making progress updating all of the cards to the new look. I should have them done in the next few days, then I'll send them off to get printed so I can take some new photos. I might try and redo the how to play video too.
Lastly, it looks like there are a lot of big companies planning campaigns in March. I'm a little worried that they will draw a lot of attention and backer dollars, and it might make things harder for us. I haven't decided yet, but I may wait and reboot more around early April now. That will also give me more time to get more done so the game will look even better. But we'll see how it goes.
Here's the new art! First, the Rake:
(http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/2/27/690768_mb-Rake%20Concept%20Art.jpg)
And here's the Wendigo
(http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/2/27/690769_mb-Wendigo%20Concept%20Art.jpg)
Here's an update for the card pics, the cards I showed last time were just mockups, this is more of the final version. Also, for the Chupacabra encounter card, the little wolf icon at the top shows it's a Beast. Undead will have a little skull over there, demons will have a little devily head, etc. It's so you can tell which race they are, because some Heroes or special weapons give you bonuses against them.
(http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/2/27/690767_sm-New%20Card%20Sample.png)
That's all for now.. back to work!
-
Still waiting to get my new printed cards so I can make my new how to play videos. (I’m impatient)
Wanted to share this new Zombie pic. He’ll be combined with the Wendigo and Rake from before and I’ll use them to tease the Undead stretch goal in the next campaign.
(http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/3/13/694816_sm-Zombie%20Indian.jpg) (http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/694816-Zombie%20Indian.html)
I’m still putting together my thoughts on how the undead faction will be made up, for both Bad Lands and Blackwater Gulch. Humans are pretty diverse with all of the different professions, and Beasts are too with all of the different animal aspects that give different bonuses. For undead, I’m thinking of having 4 different types of villains making up the faction, each one with 3 unique levels of toughness, same as the beasts.
So we’ll have Zombies, Ghouls and Revenants. Then Cannibals, Wendigos and Ancient Wendigos. For witches we’ll have Cultists, Brujahs and Posessed. The 4th will be Creeps, and this is where all the creepy things will go. Rakes, Slenderman, Mothman, demons and other things like that. The highest level types will all be unique named characters.
I’m planning on having 2 different Encounter decks if we make it to that stretch goal, 1 for beasts and 1 for undead. Each pre-made scenario will say what villains you are fighting so you know what deck to use. If you make your own you can pick the deck you want, or mix them all together. You can also tailor your deck to a specific storyline too if you want, rather than making it completely random.
You’ll have to build your Encounter deck for each game. You pick a final boss monster for your story and set that aside, then you draw 5 cards for each Hero (usually a total of 20 cards with 4 heroes), shuffle em, and stick the final boss at the bottom. I’ve also decided to change the way they spawn, where you roll 1D6 to see how many cards you draw each turn to make the encounters a little more random, but instead of letting you choose where they spawn, they will always spawn at the objective closest to the Hero that won initiative.
So that’s where I’m at now. Hoping to get some final sculpt pics for the werewolves soon so I’ll share them when I get em :)
-
Howdy folks
I’m still waiting for the new printed cards to show up }:( hopefully they’ll show up this week. I want to get started on my new videos, but I need them first. I’m going to be making a bunch of shorter 2-3 minute videos showing each part of the game, rather than one big one that drags. I thought that first one came out kinda boring.
I have the 3D sculpts for the werewolves all finished now. Here they are.. lots of parts, but that’s the only way to get the poses to come out good. The pyramid style plugs on each joint will make the parts fit together easy, so you just need a little super glue and you’re all set. We also had to close the mouths on all of the heads for them to come out right, if not the jaw would have had to be a whole other separate piece, or would have had to have a lot less detail.

I’ve decided to hold off on getting the 3D prints done right now and go ahead and get the Chupacabra sculpted too. I was going to just release the werewolves first but they kind of need some minions to make a proper starter set. So he’ll have 3 different poses, but since he’s a minion he’ll be a little smaller. Then all of them together will make up the Werewolf Starter Set for Blackwater Gulch. 1 Alpha Werewolf, 2 Werewolves and 3 Chupacabras. They’ll also be sold separately in packs of 3 Chupacabras, a pair of werewolves or 1 alpha. Those are also the amounts that we will have in Bad Lands, so players that want minis can get those and not have to worry about not having enough or ending up with too many. So I will have them all featured as add-ons in the new campaign, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get other beasts sculpted before the new campaign ends. Guess we’ll see how it goes :)
Right now it’s looking like the new campaign will happen around the 2nd week of April or so :)

Look cool, the only thing I'd really alter is the waistband on the centre wolf, it's flush in line with the body. Once it's been printed and cast etc that'll mostly disappear. I'd thicken the cloth so the line is obvious, once printed at correct size etc it will look right and give the paintbrush a line to follow.

Good call, gonna fix that :)
Hoping we'll be able to get started on the Chupacabra in the next few days :)
