[Kickstarter] Mantic Dwarf Kings Quest. ALL DONE.$1.05 million final.

Jake said in one of the articles listed earlier in the thread that it was a new set of rules, but l would not expect the basic game to be much more complex than DKH if at all  What complexity ther is will come with the second  part of the game box and the advanced build your own options

[beefcake]

Yes. In the interview with beasts of aware he likened it to heroquest. Mainly in the way that it will be an intro to this sort of game. I hope it is more complex though than heroquest as those rules were very basic. Still love playing it with my son though.

I'd bet money it'll be "simple" but with a load of optional rules (which I'm guessing will be included in the second-tier book he hinted at).  I'll get in on this if one of two things occur:

1) It goes ballistic and becomes a good value for money.

2) It has great minis.  I'm normally quite soured by Mantic stuff, but the ones shown in the video are quite nice.

As with the 25th-Ed. Hero Quest, I won't likely be buying it to play the game itself but rather to get a big box of minis.  I'm not overly excited about the idea of the PVC style material - but if it's a good kickstarter I'll throw in on it.  I'd also imagine the basic Kickstarter should be what $65-80?  A starter box shouldn't be much more than that.  Nice to see the aim at dungeon crawling though.  Colour me intrigued.

I do like the skeleton archers - been looking for some nice ones for a while.

Wonder if any add-on / options will be to get the old games?

[marcusluis]

The minis on that look amazing!!!

I'm a little "meh" about the PVC material.  How are their dread ball miniatures?  How is the material?

It's a different material, the one they used with loka. honestly, it feels alot like hard plastic and behaves similarly, but you have to use superglue.

That's good news.  Thanks guys.

There is some discussion that the KS "early bird" pledges for this campaign will be limited by time not by number, don't know how long but (given how Mantic KS projects tend to go) probably worth pledging early then working it out later on.

[Elbows]

Yep, particularly when you can always drop your pledge later (or sell it on to someone here).  If it's sub $100 I'll definitely get in on this one.

[beefcake]

Sounds like a great way to do an early bird. For those of us on the other side of the planet early birds always seem to be in the dead of night and I inevitably miss out on them.

at Beefcake, tell me about it, I stayed up untill 3am to get the early bird Mars attack stuff.....only for there site to not work 

[beefcake]

Lol, yep sucks to be a kiwi when it comes to kickstarter earlybirds.

[beefcake]

Some new pics. That one with the scythe is really heroquest isn't it.

Why don't we pick a thread and stick with it - looks like we have two running now.
