happy sunday!
Happy Dungeoneering!
Happy Sunday!!!
Happy Sunday, Hope all is well . Taking a break to see you all this late or early on your point of view . Happy Dungeon Crawling Folks. 🙂
Please don’t be diverting Mantis focus from Warpath 2.0!
The Dungeon Saga does look fun, though it does seem that the whole weekend has been focused on just one game, which sometimes seems not so fun.
Need to add a smiley or two ☺ that reads as more grumpy than I intended.
Lucky you added the smilies!
I nearly whipped off my loin cloth again 😉
when i was 12 i was always a werebear in D&D so i best leave my cloth on :P.
but now dungeon saga has come out i want to relive those werebear days !!!!
Especially now im fat and hairy lol!
any conversion idea’s?
i want my mini to be half human half bear so i was thinking rat ogre GW body, give it giant feet for the human look, thats as far have i got so far.
It’s ” Dungeon Saga Weekend”, not Mantic Weekend. It is surely meant to be focused on just one game isn’t it? 😛
I would like to see more from Warpath too but dungeon crawling is far more exciting.
I like everything in the game with one exception. I am not sold on the dice matching mechanic. Perhaps it is decades of playing D&D, but the matching mechanic is a bit odd to me.
Sometimes simple mechanics are the best for a game trying to keep things at a certain level!
As coxjul says, simple combat resolution mechanics helps the game flow, especially when it is clearly a narrative orientated game! The dice matching mechanism works perfectly for Spartacus the boardgame and stops the game becoming bogged down around just the combat!
Happy Sunday!
I was thinking, maybe Dungeon Saga needs an event deck to get more story in into it.
Might already be in the Adventurer’s Companion. We have seen that yet.

*haven’t
In fact,we have seen that already:
the event deck is used to place monsters in your “random” dungeon:

Surely for child models you can just use some kind of half Ling figure?
Happy Sunday!!
lloyd “first monster that comes to mind”
Jason “Mammoth”
almost spat my coffee over my monitor! hahaha
Hasslefree Miniatures have loads of femail miniatures. I remember them doing a few kid adventurers too but i’m not sure if they still have them.
Also…
Gargoyles are water spouts.
Grotesques are decorations.
I have never been a dungeon crawler fan but this does look good.
I love the packaging, scenery looks good too.
Recently played Arcadia quest and enjoyed it, so might be worth trying dungeon saga.
Good job mantic and nice content bow
Just like @warzan I still love all my toys and I am in my forties! Of course it helps when you have friends that also like playing.
Had to pause the video during the part about a game’s lore…
The development level of lore in WHFB is part of what drove me away after 3rd edition. It started to become so stifling and overblown, just to sell specific mini’s, that the there was little room to use your own imagination. And I wasn’t smitten with the content of that lore either, which made it worse for me.
I like a game to have no more than a basic structure of lore, so that I can fill the rest in myself.
Hasslefree Miniatures:

Warren, getting hold of the templates for the cards would be fantastic. It’d really open the scope of Dungeon Saga, limiting it only to your imagination.
+1
Happy Dungeon Delving Weekend!
Doesn’t Myth count as an expandable, flexible Dungeon Crawler?
Yes, but I see it in a classification of its own as a coop hack and slash, I think dungeon crawler is too much of an oversimplification for myth 🙂
Having seen a few game play videos on Myth it’s not something I’d class as a dungeon crawler, and the learning curve is steeper than the dungeon crawlers I’ve played.
North Star Miniatures does a Lord of the Jungle blister that has a young boy in Loincloth holding a knife. With a simple weapon swap he might make a good child barbarian.

Happy Sunday dungeon crawling everyone 😀 .
Happy Sunday …… Loving the Dungeon Saga Weekend (especially Warren regressing to his youth)
@warren Maybe the charachter of mice and mistics little mice adventurers? Mantic has more heroes comming up including alot more female.
A dungeon crawler series? YES!
Happy Sunday
No Barney’s were harmed in the making of this XLBS ??
Release the Were-mammoth.
Some eye candy for you. My friends run a Dungeon crawl at our local Convention.

dungeon is all dwarven forge. rules were DnD light simplified for convention play.
At what age is it ok to go all out to win against your own daughter? I think 4 is a good age to learn how to deal with crushing defeat!
