Good to see a scenario with multiple relics. That should help out against mosh pits, I like that. And an awesome relic too!

Victory Condition: Destroy all the enemy warriors!

Personally, I'm not really a fan of those victory conditions. The relics become less important and the focus is on killing. I really prefer victory conditions where you have to accomplish something like getting a treasure off the board, doing X actions at a certain point (to light a big bonfire or something), etc. Basically a scenario which is not about killing. That makes the choices during the game more interesting IMO: you can kill stuff or spend actions to win the game. The first is always handy as you stop enemies from killing you and achieving missions. But in the end it won't win a game. So you need a good balance between killing and the mission.

I agree. I think he has plans to release some scenarios in the future. In the mean time I think the community can cook up some cool homebrew scenarios.

Shouldn't be a problem to change the victory-condition to suit your taste ;)
And have to agree, it's a powerfull relic.

As allready said, Sean plans to release more scenarios like that, and I'm sure with different victory conditions as well.
Personally, the games I played so far all had some special victory conditions  :D

Unfortunately real world commitments meant I had to drop out (I was only making a small pledge anyway, half of it would have been postage!) But I'm so pleased to see this funding well, I've got the pdfs already and it's a great game. 

Hopefully the wave 2 stuff will be available as a print and play option at some point.

Sorry to hear that, mate.
Real world sucks, from time to time  ;)

The wave 2 stuff will be available as print and play, as far as I know, hopefully soon  :)

7 hours right now, and just $900 to get the "Dark Wanderer" unlocked, that should be doable, right?!  :D

So when's that spiffy Thief mini going to be available for purchase?  Too dynamic to resist.

Pics when you do, please.  Curious to see more of this game after watching some youtube play sessions.
