You always get the impression with Ronnie that anything is possible.
Sounds like we have some interesting stuff ahead.
Time to dust off all the dungeon crawling gear and get those snotling fondling buggers !
Hey Warren, I don’t have a Vanity URL for the Kickstarter site so I cannot complete the form like you asked. Any suggestions on changing the form? (and no I don’t want to create one as I don’t need to)
What you submitted should be fine mate (we’ll the winner if we have difficulties)
cool I don’t have to ask you the same question as mattgro as you’ve already answered.
Can’t wait for the Kings of War scenery, but glad it will be a while, have a goal to save for……
I may be being really dumb but I can’t find my Kickstarter ID (which is confusing because I managed to for the DUST form). Can anyone help me out?
Sorry, found it.
For those that struggled like me: go to the kickstarter page, open the drop-down in the top right-hand corner and go to ‘My Stuff’, ‘Profile’. The look at the URL (web-page address) and you should see a 9 digit number at the end of it. That is you ID number.
Can’t open the link, is it me?
I’ve already pledged, couldn’t resist!
Looks like I’ve gotten that wrong then. 🙂
Now if it’d said I.D. Number I’d probably have figured it out. More work (potentially) for poor Warren to sort out.
I’ve got a 10 digit id…
I’m really hoping that they include co-op rules as part of the advanced game. I know there were some faint rumblings that this might be the case early on, but they haven’t said much about it lately. I find often when playing dungeon crawl games that I get stick as the overlord character since I tend to know the rules better than the other players. It would be nice to have a game that frees me from that role so I can experience things from the other side of the table. Plus sometimes you just don’t want it to be… Read more »
It’s a good point. I (vaguely) remember back in the day that’s what used to happen to me with Heroquest; I always ended up running the thing. It’s fun for a while but you do end up feeling everyone else is having more fun (and gold!) than you are.
Oooo… Mordheim mantic style in the future!
Ronnie had my money before the kickstarter began on this one but a Mordheim type game too. SO IN.
If I recall correctly Ronnie was head of retail when I worked for GW, he is why it was great to work for them then. It what happens when you have a driving force that is all about the hobby and passion – with a shrewd business brain behind it. I was unsure on a few elements, going to wait a bit, but this is one where my money needs to be where my mouth is – backed. I also love the leaking info this is what we want to do and its so cool we have to share it,… Read more »
Love the expansion pack plan – can you imagine an Abyssal one where the adventurers have to go on an epic quest into the Abyss?!
Total Mount Doom adventure!
Added bonus: it becomes a starting point for the KoW Abyssal army miniatures.
Oh Ronnie, you had me at KoW Deadzone. You’ve given me DB to replace BB, you’ve given me DZ to complement Necromumda, now you’re giving me Saga for WQ with a Mordheim proxy down the road in the future. You’re a lovely, lovely man…!
Sexy too! 😉 Good hair! lol (Yup Drunk @warzan posting tonight)
He had me at ‘next expansion pack’… oh err.
Love Mantic kickstarters.
When’s the closing date for the form?
For pledge level do I include money pledged for add ons or just the initial level?
Thanks
Initial level is fine, its double checked when a winner is picked!
Thanks BoW and Mantic! Can’t wait for another fun Mantic KS! People worry about what they’re getting but its the journey thats the fun. Remember you can always back out at the end if it isn’t what you want but I doubt it will be short of amazing by the end.
The link to the form won’t open for me…
The salamander guy looks perfect! Happy to see Halflings and some other races being introduced into Kings of War.
kinda sad to see the chits go, I liked the unpredictability of it. I’m not sure if the necromancer’s cards are enough to recreate that.
Just imagine the gameplay vid where Warren and Loyd are trying to decide who does what with only a limited number of options rather than everyone gets to go for sure 🙂
so umm yea, ive backed this now
Looks like it’s going to be great value for your money!
