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

[Quirkworthy]

IIRC the rules list the tokens in each set.

I just dug out the rulebook for Green Menace (first one that came to hand) and yes they do. On the back it shows how many of each "terrain" & "status" type and in the book it gives the breakdown of the (in this case Orc & Elf) specific Action token set.

Providing the d/l is the full book looks like you are good to go.

Thanks for looking into that for me. Definitely going to get the first pdf and give it a try

[Brummie Thug]

It sounds good looking forward to it.

Woo hoo. Love mantic stuff. Got in on the KOW kickstarter so will defo do this. Nice sculpts make it that much easier to give them my money

That dwarf adventurer with the hammer and the lantern--wow!!!!!  I need to see him from the front, but he looks amazing!

Any new information about this one? Seems to have gone very quiet considering a July/August KS launch was mentioned.

Just raising this thread from near death to say the Kickstarter date has finally been announced for August 4th.
More details being added to a blog site:

http://dwarfkingsquest.com

Currently including a brief video interview about how the game is structured and plays (with some pictures of the new character minis).
Interestingly all the models are new sculpts/castings, new undead including ghosts, armoured zombies, undead trolls and troll shamans and an undead dwarf faction.

Aye here's what we know off the top of my head.

Undead vs heroes. (barbarian,dwarf fighter,elf ranger,mage)

"2 tier" game box.on the top basic campaign and beginner game, with a removable panel to reveal a boox full of advanced rules to make it more of an rpg.

card tiles thicker and higher quality than old dkh.

material will be loka/mars attacks style pvc.that is to say very hard board game style plastic.(i have a loka piece from the open day and really, it feels just like polystyrene plastic to me)

 several new races (Shapeshifters, lizard/fishmen, monsters , banshees.)

several other mini's spotted such as halflings and other dwarfs suggest some stretch goals , but this looks to be a small (by mantic standard) kickstarter with the game hitting somewhere around the £70 spot according to online speculation.

from what i can tell, it will be similar to heroquest in terms of co-op, in that you don't have to play nice.



Also, you need the password , Hjalgeir , to get on the spoiler site. (i asked, and yes, it is meant to mean password in dwarven.(dwarvish?dwarfish?dwarve?)

The discussions about co-op make it clear that (thankfully) it is not a Boardgame "all one one side vs random enemy AI" type co-op. Someone plays the Monsters/Enemies and can win the game by stopping the heroes who may work together or for individual goals.

It looks pretty cool. Not sure I like what they are saying about the character development but looks fun enough to back so far in any case. I'll see how the kickstarter goes.

this sounds and look good, don't think ill bother hunting a heroquest game now

That's a bold statement, mantic really need to make this one a solid hit to be not only a relative to heroquest, but a true successor.

I'm holding out and hoping this will be good. Fingers crossed they'll make beta versions of the rules available or give out more details before the Kickstarter

I'm looking forward to seeing better pics of the undead troll and things like that. My first GW army was undead and they've always been a favourite of mine since so this should tick all the boxes minimise for me... Hopefully.
