I backed this with some friends at a strike zone.  Very glad I picked up Forgefathers (to supplement my Squats) and Rebs, who I think are one of the most interesting and diverse sci-fi factions to be released in quite a while.

None of us went for the big Faction boosters (the ones that double the number of figs) expansions or vehicles, but I think we're looking at this as a small skirmish game. If we wanted big units and vehicles, we've got plenty of other options.   I don't think anyone but me was even considering possible "Warpath" uses for these mins.  Of course I might pick up a Walker at some point for other games.

I guess I've got a reason now to build all that Necromunda'ish terrain I've been collecting parts for over the past decade.

I spent too much on Deadzone too, mainly because I wanted more terrain...although the game and figures look great too. :)

As for Sedition Wars, I think it served as an inspiration to Mantic for creating Deadzone... The problems with the SW campaign were many but I think it's better if we discuss them elsewhere. I don't want to take away from folks talking about Deadzone here.

Survey submitted, awaiting confirmation. Way too much cool stuff available on this one. My bank account is done w/ crowd funding for quite a while! Not to mention that there's a TON of stuff already here, or on its way for me to work on!

Just received an email by Mantic, saying that the rules in PDF are now available. Now I just need to wait for the game box in December, hehe

So... the PDF rules don't include the stat cards, battle cards or mission cards. I kinda thought I might be able to play the game. It seems not.

$10 isn't much but I've spent less than that on PDF rules before and actually been able to play the game.

There are some freebie get-you-by lists that prolly can be found through Mantic's site (at the very least they are on the KS site) but my understanding is that you would need buy some of the official miniature sets too to really get to play.

In the short run I believe the draft versions of the cards are still up on Quirkworthy's blog.  That could get you by until the official ones come out.

UPS tried to deliver my Deadzone Kickstarter package today, but I was out  :(

I'll pick it up tomorrow - not getting excited until it's in my hands!

Oh man and I'm traveling into next week.  For once I hope I'm not at the top of the list.  I don't need that package sitting on the porch for days.

UPS delivered mine today. Got what I expected.... except that Mantic delivered more and earlier than announced months/weeks ago.

In my book thats a good job.

The Nexus Psi 2-player campaign book was released today. I've only had a chance to skim through it, and aside from a few typos it looks very nice. There's lots of fluff and background info about the setting, why and how people are there AND why they're cut off from everything else. All in all I'm quite looking forward to giving the campaign a go!
