2025... I am forgotten

it's a good game too

too bad

>>95906435
Good art too.
Boy I wish it didn't cost an entire mortgage.

Perhaps it shouldn't have cost a fortune and more people would have bought and played it.

>>95906407 (OP)
Every month I receive news about. There seem to be enough people interested for them to launch new things.

If you think Warhammer is expensive, you have not see Kingdom Death.

Had a lot of fun playing it on a virtual tabletop but no way am I paying for it.

>>95907588
More like the kickstarter still has a mountain of plastic and cardboard goodies to deliver on yet, almost ten years later. There's so much content for this game the original backer value is high tier lunacy (on the creator's part) and makes for an unforgettable painting and playing experience even to this day. I think it's a shame it has gone underground in relevancy, but the studio is making good on all of their promises, no matter the time or cost to do so.

>>95906407 (OP)
Turns out that making a board game is the style of a miniatures wargame with the prices of a miniatures wargame leaves you with only a small dedicated fanbase that will keep you game alive but will not be something people talk about.
And honestly despite that its probably better off for that.

>>95907588
Context? Power of T&A?

>>95909124
Their designs are so fucking good bro
Shame I couldn't care less about miniatures. I just want the designs. And the game, the game looks fun. Maybe I'll get tabletop simulator

>>95909140

is there a collection/torrent with all the art?

>>95907588
Me on the left

was this that line of minis that had a board game attached?

why didn't they just sell the STL files?

What is this even, like, about?? Does it have a plot/lore? All I know is that of porn model-tier tulpas wake up in the Plain of Faces from Eclipse/Berserk and proceed to have R-rated, Dark Souls-esque adventure fighting horrible (but well designed) hentai monsters until they inevitably die horribly.

>>95909531
They print stuff in-house to help keep the lights on while they dig themselves in deep with scope creep on the greatest TG kickstarter project ever undertaken.

>>95909546
>What is this even, like, about??
It's one part Monster Hunter-esque boss fighting with 4 survivors, one part civilisation management where you'll make new gear/settlement buildings with the monster's remains and do research/events/etc., and one part tracking your next quarry down. That's the three stage loop to each "year" and it's all wrapped up in a campaign format where things will happen as you progress. You'll fight new monsters, harder versions of prior monsters with new tricks, get new buildings, level up your survivors, have your survivors die, level up new ones, etc. It's a good loop with some very solid monster mechanics where their turns are driven by some basic AI and then a deck of cards that tell you how they'll act, but the deck of cards also functions their wounds. As you deal damage you'll remove cards from their pool slowly whittling down their options. Lots of different campaigns with their own premises and different monsters, plus some standalone stuff you can slot into any campaign for more variety.

>Does it have a plot/lore?
It does. It's a lot of vibes at first though and the lore that is there is generally spoilers because of how the game is formatted. It's not super story heavy but the campaigns do reveal things. You can watch the prologue for all the set up you need.
https://youtu.be/FNLc8dHv0Ac

>All I know is that of porn model-tier tulpas wake up...
That's largely all you need to know, and is all that's explained by the prologue (which you should watch). You've woken up in a horrific land populated by horrific monsters and now you've gotta make the best of it with the other people that are unlucky enough to be there with you. The majority of the monsters are more horror than sexual horror though. None of the core monsters lean into that stuff though, the only sexy bits there are the survivors.


>>95909531
Because it's a game first and foremost.

>>95909670
Is it supposed to take placei in Hell or Purgatory or something of the sort?

>>95906407 (OP)
I wish they did a condensed version of it like jaws of the lion or something like that. A complete, compact game with no extras. As it is, the game is just too big, too expensive and impracticable. Just play with TTS instead.

>>95909546
>>95909670
>it's like berserk soulsborne monhun bro!
How come zoomers have no point of reference except for japanese media?

>>95910052
Something of the sort, yeah.

>>95910228
>how come the things it's like are the things you're saying it's like

>>95910228
All the fantasy media made being made while we (2000 zommer) were growing up with either Urban Fantasy, Urban Fantasy Romance targeted towards girls, or Harry Potter-likes. Basiclly if it wasn't like harry Potter then it was the end culmination of Anne Rice's work affecting the industry.
The Lord of the Rings Movies existed and were liked but didn't kick off a wave in the youth book market, mainly staying self contained in pop-culture.
If my 7th grade English teacher didn't fill his shelf with old pulp novels I would of had no exposure to anything besides anime, video games, and Game of Thrones for anything close to classical fantasy.

And nowadays its all Fae Court Romance Novels for women, because the publishing industry figured out years ago that women do the most shopping and so are the most likely to purchase books while out, so in turn the industry has become woman dominated with little interest in male oriented literature outside of the old well regarded holdout and Sanderson

So where else is a zoomer guy meant to find easily accessible classic fantasy but in "berserk soulsborne monhun"?

>>95907618
nah warhammer is still more expensive which is insane considering you're comparing a literal mom and pop boutique store to a international conglomerate

>>95910228
>what is a thing?
>well if you're familiar with this media thing is very similar
>HOW COME NO POINT OF REFERENCE EXCEPT JAPAN
>because if people talking about layers of hell ala dante's inferno and shit you wouldn't know what they're talking about because you're a fucktarded zoomer
>REEEE
yeah

>>95910503
You running 20 million guardsmen or real scale titans or something?

I'll wait for the Netflix adaptation.

>>95910513
Or the overt reference to a piece of media is just an overt reference to a piece of media.

>>95910518
KDM is "only" $400, anon.

>>95910538
You can get some very deep discounts for black friday too.

Whatever happened with their "digital edition" or whatever? Anyone remember that?

They announced it and instead of it being an accessible and affordable translation of the game (like Gloomhaven virtual) it was even more cockamamie boutique faggotry at a painful pricepoint. I think they said they envisioned it as like an FPS where you played normal boardgame KDM in a nice mansion or a spooky castle? Something retarded like that...

Anyway, did they can that? Is it still in endless dev?

>>95910620
Still being worked on, has had updates though. They give semi regular updates on it too.

>>95910620
It's 20 bucks anon

>>95910518
you're a retarded gw drone

>>95910527
sure and sometimes those things are references in themselves
or do you think anime is toats original?

>>95910527
the plain of stone faces is also from dante's inferno btw berserk didn't invent that

>>95911094
Yet it would be silly to deny KDM monster designs were inspired by Berserk among other things

>>95909670
>Because it's a game first and foremost.
i see. so a bit like the 7TV skirmish system by Crooked Dice miniatures? with its Temporal Travellers, Paranormal Exterminators, and Crime-Fighting Adolescent Turtles?

>>95910228
Give one example of a semi popular dark fantasy media of western origin from the last 20 years.

>>95911359
Mortal Engines? Steampunk is fantasy.

>>95911071
NTA but he's right. Warhammer is insanely more expensive than everything else, except KDM

>>95911623
>Warhammer is insanely more expensive than everything else
Not really. Warmachine still exist.
So does that one Fallout skirmish game by Modiphius.

>>95911359
True Blood

>>95906654
it really is expensive as fuck. the minis look look. if there was a 3d print edition where you'd get the minis on mmf for example and the other stuff in physical form, I'd buy that

>>95906407 (OP)
>forgotten
You were never known.

>>95911602
>steampunk is fantasy
Get out of my fucking house right now, anon

>>95909546
Bog standard muh indie made surrealism grimderp bodyhorror with toddler tier symbolism setting for depressed pseud nerd midwits. Save yourself cash and go consoom any of the other shit like it like Fear and Hunger, its all the same thing.

>>95911848
why are you having such a melty lol

>>95910228
Because american media hasn't been relevant for a long time.
If you don't want zoomers to look to other countries for good slop, make better slop.

>>95911288
It's just a board game with some nice models for its pieces.
>Captcha: kdm ks

>>95906407 (OP)
maybe if it didn't cost an arm and a leg and wasn't a GOONER GAME it would've lasted

even if one could afford it it's sold out right now

>>95906407 (OP)
I love the way everything in this game looks but I simply can't afford to even get the starter kit ATM

>>95909546
Would be pretty insane if there was some type of technology that allowed people to look up information, like some type of inspection motor

>>95910228
Name me one American video game that is like Monster Hunter

>>95911150
Just as it would be silly to say that berserk was not inspired by earlier sources. It's okay to like more than one thing at once :-)

>>95912964
It comes back into stock relatively frequently. Poots has said he's not worried about it regarding tariffs either so it probably won't be too too long

>>95911848
U good bro

>>95906407 (OP)
I bought KD Monster v2 back when they reran it as a Christmas present to myself. Glued the starter guys and the lion. Never played. Ended up selling it to a guy in Facebook.

>>95910228
Because the game is pretty clearly inspired by directly those things. Not an exaggeration.

>>95911848
>Trial & Error 2: Trannima

>>95906407 (OP)
I thought this was an amogus for a moment there

>>95911094
I'm somewhat certain there isn't and you're going off an AI hallucination. It's been a while since I've read much of the Divine Comedy but I couldn't recall a location much like it. The only thing consistently telling me there is such a place is Google's AI overview and that told me varying places in Violence, Malebolge, and Cocytus had places you could refer to as such. But the closest Hell gets there would be something like Antenore or Ptolomaea, but KDM doesn't take place on a giant frozen lake with some bodies trapped in it. It's a plain of tightly packed stone faces. So of the three attached images, which two are the most similar? A plain of tightly packed stone faces, a plain of tightly packed faces, or a frozen lack with some heads sticking out?

It's not the Divine Comedy that is being referenced here. It's Berserk. Even if I'm wrong and there is something closer to it that I've forgotten it's still a direct reference to Berserk. Even if Berserk is referencing Inferno, KDM is still directly referring to Berserk. It's not the only place this happens either. Honourable Berserker is pretty clearly Guts. Dragon Slayer is, well, Dragon Slayer. The Lucky Charm is based on Behelit. It's not a game that's shy about its sources of inspiration. There are more classical sources of inspiration in KDM, this is just not one of those. It's a very overt reference to a piece of media. As such that piece of media will get brought up because it's a touchstone for the creator.

>>95913607
KDM would never reference Berserk

>>95913093
>Glued the starter guys and the lion. Never played.
You fucking fool. The starting mission is the best on-boarding tutorial I've ever seen in the industry. Imagine missing out on this incredible experience because you couldn't read for fifteen minutes straight.

>>95906407 (OP)
>Oh that model is super cool, maybe I'll look into getting it
>That will be TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS please
>Oh and invent a time machine, because either you needed to have bought it last year or it won't be delivered for another 3 years
Thats why its forgotten.
The only reason it was popular on this board was a bunch of people who backed it very early and buyfags with more money than sense.

>>95914129
It's popular because the game's fucking good and the creator has an uncompromising stance on how the game and its models should look. I'm sorry you didn't believe in it for a decade of proving their excellence, but that isn't my problem.

>>95914159
And I'm sorry your sunk cost is so high its hollowed out your skull.

>>95914337
NTA but the game is actually really good, and I've only played with a copy I didn't buy or on TTS.

>>95914337
Game isn't meant for everyone, but the people that have played it know the precise amount of fucks that were given every step of the way in its creation. Poots is a hero, no one in the industry stays truer to his vision for Kingdom Death.

The awg boys talk about it now and then and they seem to like it, it also seems to sit nicely at the crossover between gooner and weeb for those into that, I think OP is exaggerating its demise.

The gooner aspect comes out heavy handed in the merchandise but the gameplay itself and overall story is a much more serious and touching adventure than the bodacious models. I know when someone hasn't played the game when they focus on the T&A as being the only point to KDM at all. The mechanics, how you build a civilization, the personal journeys that these survivors share together are truly magical and make for compelling gameplay.

The best way to frame it is that the big sexy models are there to help fund the development of this truly fascinating world, one that has a secret underlying story to it that is unparalleled in boardgames that are made today. The mystery begs to be solved, and the only way to do that is to take your own journey through the kingdom of death.

>>95916192
>gooner aspect
I think the original idea was conan style sword&sorcery, but the only artist they could get were the anime-esc kind.

>>95906407 (OP)
Kingdom Death was animeslop. One of the shittiest "games" I've ever been hassled into playing. May as well just read a Goosebumps CYOA book.

>>95916192
>the gameplay itself and overall story is a much more serious and touching adventure
>"Ok so for THIS boss, I attack the weakpoint!"

>>95906407 (OP)
I remember watching a long ass solo play of this by some dude called paperbag and it was so fucking entertaining.
I love the aesthetics and the ideas behind it, but I don't know if it's something I'd actually enjoy playing.
Maybe I should try one of these days.

Every time I remember this exists it’s in stock but I don’t have the funds at the moment or it’s out of stock when I can afford it.

So then I forget about it, repeat ad nauseam

>>95917750
Just sign up to the news letter and get it on black friday

>>95909670
> The plot video
That shit was gay as fuck and told me nothing

>>95917836
And it's all you need.

>>95917874
Please forgive anon, if there isn't a readable world guidebook with deeplore or series of novels that flesh out a setting then he isn't interested.

>>95913607
the point was berserk took that from dante's inferno
you're retarded
next you'll be talking about how original evangelion is

>>95914337
poots deserves a lot of credit for not only staying true to his vision but also not allowing faggots like you to influence his design decisions despite living in the liberal anus of jew york
body horror, big ass and titties, ultra violence, I respect poots a lot for what he brings to the table unlike faggots like tuomas with his trench faggotry whining about "le chuds" being into his shitty setting

>>95918582
I agree with this on many levels. But to the brainlets ITT, it has an actual setting, mainly fleshed out by gameplay as it should be.
TC is megafaggotry and has no setting to speak of, if you look at it for more than a minute. Also the safe edgy "muh caths bad" while the enemy is literal satan is extremely offputting.

>>95910503
>which is insane considering you're comparing a literal mom and pop boutique store to a international conglomerate
Why the fuck would you think that a mom and pop boutique store would be more expensive than a company with hundreds of people employed exclusively to figure out ways to fleece you?

>>95906407 (OP)
Game good but it's only wroth buying during black friday (and even then, the deals have become worse and worse each year).
It was probably the best game of that style when it got out, but it's been 10+ years and so more games with better refiened design has come out since and for less. Still got great art direction

>>95918582
>>95918936
Holy fucking chud out. Are you feeling alright there, lil bud?

>>95918579
Did it though? Unless you've got a quote from Miura saying that then there isn't a lot of reason to believe it. As explained the only things that seem to think a plain of stone faces exists in Inferno are (you) and Google's hallucinating AI that can't even nail down the location (because there isn't one). Go and find the bit in Inferno that talks about it.

>>95919908
>Go and find the bit in Inferno that talks about it.
NTA but I bet they are misremembering the plain of ice with the sinners being immersed in ice with only their heads sticking out

>>95919943
>>95919908
Aaaand now I saw that you already addressed that in one of your posts. Sorry about that

>>95919943
That's the closest thing I could think of too, but Google's stupid AI bullshit will tell you it exists.

>>95919943
>>95919951
Don't worry about it. The image I just posted was for the search term "Dante's Inferno plain of stone faces" but if you do "plain of stone faces Dante's Inferno" you get a whole different place. And I saw a few different ones too. Don't trust Google's shitty AI anons. It's basically just a yes man.

>>95906407 (OP)
I just started playing this using table top sim, its actually a lot of fun. No fucking idea why its not a video game though, and it calls it self 4 player co op despite obviously just being a 1 player solo game.

>>95920119
Name one pure coop (meaning no hidden information, traitor mechanics etc) that isn't obviously a 1 player solo game using that logic.

>>95919226
>but it's been 10+ years and so more games with better refiened design has come out since and for less.
I don't really see it, but there's tiny factions of games that might have pushed the envelope here or there, however none of them run as satisfactory as KD:M.

>>95919226
What are the hot new games in this style?

>>95920624
He means direct carbon copies like Tainted Gail. They wouldn't exist without KD:M and yet this fool thinks they surpassed it.

>>95920703
I wasn't asking you. Stop being cringe over the horror titty game.

>>95921012
You got your answer, twat. The hot new games are kingdom death lites with the genitals beltsanded down

>>95921134
I do not care about your opinion. Stop being a little bitch over plastic toys.

>>95921153
>>95921153
>Stop being a little bitch
The moment you stop being a pussy because people are talking to you on a tabletop image board

>>95906407 (OP)
i thought it was an amogus before enlarging the pic

>>95906435
I disagree pretty strongly about being a good game. It isn't a dog shit game, mind you, but for the investment, time, and complexity? It's pretty fucking mid.

>>95920172
using what logic? Why do I have to name a pure co op game? fuck off nerd

>>95919527
>no argument
>projection
Concession accepted ;)

tiddies

>>95910228
It literally is exactly that though.

>>95918980
because that's how things generally work
small runs of designer shit is expensive and mass produced slop is cheap

>>95911359
Diablo

It always amazed me no matter what poots did to reprint the game there was always a portion of vocal people saying how he still had demand left over so please make more. Time and again, and so he adopted a belief that all main game releases should always be made available, which is expensive and challenging to do so. And he still sells out, and there's still more yet folks screaming at him. Dude's doing his best, his team is dedicated and the fans are ravenous. These things haven't changed in all these years.

>>95909496
WHY THE FUCK ISN'T YOUR CROSSBOW LOADED YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE?!

>>95926291
>;)
Yep. Full-on mindbreak mode.

>>95927375
that's almost 30 years ago, but still a good point

Im willing to bite the bullet on this but I have to ask, how complicated is it? My player group are normies and actual retards. One of them can barely spell.

>>95936028
The game flow isn't terribly complicated but the experience is very customizable. Through customizing out your settlement you can add very intricate interactions between features of the game and your success at hunting. What do I mean by this? Well you can have fully set up wombo combos baked into your society that when X happens you can turn it into an opportunity for Y outcomes. You can also make playing incredibly straight forward by building up each hunting party to only use 4 gear setups between members, and when one specialist dies then you roll up a new survivor to take their place.

Like imagine you have a ranged specialist, they use bows or thrown weapons, then a spear user that can attack from mixed ranges and has trinkets to help with critical strikes. Next you pad the rest out with a highly beefy tank rocking a shield and a healer/support unit that brings the items needed to overcome the targeted boss encounter and you're done. Your bow user can target upgrades for themselves that makes them good at their task. Now when the bow lady dies, she gets replaced by a bow man that starts fresh in raw stats but uses the same gear setup as the woman before him.

So in short you can streamline the game but sticking to a set playbook or customize every single person in your encampment to be utterly unique, including their name and their relationships with the others. The game has emergent narratives that bring these characters to life and make unforgettable stories that will be passed on to the next of kin like a real tribal rite of passage. I love how the game continues to surprise me even when simple decisions are being made that can color the rest of the campaign.

In short complexity can be managed but lean the fuck into it and it's a tabletop experience like no other. If you think it's hard to teach your game group complexity remember that I taught my own mother to play this game, and she has a cast of characters that she plays with just fine.

>>95936028
some guys made workshop add-ons for TTS. so if you happen to have the tabletop sim, you could try it for free and get a feel if your group would be too retarded for it.
cheaper than buying the real game and finding out that nobody will play with you

>>95911359
Dragon Age: Origins.

Been playing this for a decade on and off and the only bad thing about it is its community, so quite happy it hasn't been "in the spotlight" for a long time, because it wasn't gatekept enough as is.

>>95942999
Whats wrong with the community? It has to be pretty small with how expensive this shit is. Are they all coomers?

>>95943071
Most of the community are KS-fags that got in cheap and consider it their "lifestyle", yet a big part of those people do not even play the game, they just use the pseudo-official discord to talk shit unrelated to the game.
The rest are mostly painters, who also don't play the game. The few who do play the game are obsessed about it to an autistic level, but the worst part is that the mods are power-tripping idiots who police around people away from even talking about the game outside miniatures, as they consider sharing pictures of rules/cards/etc as "pirating" or "spoiling" (as most don't play the game much).
It's just a big drama club of U.S. based liberals who can't agree do they love or hate the creator each time a monthly-update drops.
It's sad. The actual gameplay loop is quite fun and has plenty of depth with build-a-bear campaign model to have real discussion about strategy, optimization or fun/interesting builds for your survivors.

I'm lowkey glad that between international trade breakdown, inflation, recession and% rate hikes businesses that basically revolved around hyping up kickstarter campaigns for boardgames but filled with 5 kilos of overpriced chinesium plastic are finally starting to die. KDM has some really nice models, and I have no beef against them, but it's crazy the likes of CMON have lasted as long as they have.

>>95945536
>but it's crazy the likes of CMON have lasted as long as they have.
what does the cmon acronym mean in this context? I haven’t lurked in a month.

So they are currently sold out for the physical game, what I gather from this thread is that it will take a while to reprint everything?

>>95946076
Nevermind. I just realized that their selection if you live in the EU and you're not in the UK is pretty limited. A pity. I've heard a lot of good stuff about the game, and their sculpts are great.

>>95946586
Looks like most if not all of the expansions are on the EU store?

>>95946586
There was quite a long period of time when EU didn't even had a warehouse at all and you were forced to buy from U.S. (or UK because lol brexit) and pay a shit ton of taxes.

>>95945746
Cool Mini Or Not. Known for Blood Rage, Zombicide, Rising Sun, Others, Cthulhu (not Cthulhu wars, the other one) and the like.

>>95948348
>>95946631
There's some stuff, I just noticed stuff like the Pinups of Death are missing. Overall the sizes of the stores seem highly different. Not to mention, 8 of the 35 products available are just... Card sleeves. Sadge. Wish I were a burger. I'll wait for the 1.6 to be available again and see if I can snatch one. Hopefully I'll find someone selling the stuff the EU store doesn't have and ship it.

>>95948696
They're just straight up thieves.

>>95948928
Pinups are basically promo models, they're not really part of the core experience. I wouldn't worry about stuff like that being missing. Stock runs low often no matter where you're looking though you've just got to wait for a restock.

>>95945536
I hate how games I enjoy keep coming out of the CMON label so I know they're going to be mismanaged to death. I hope some day someone rescues the engine behind the ASOIAF game from them.

>>95910228
Berserk left quite the impression back in the day (and also had a sense of humor woven in with the outtakes). Stop bitching and put your grasses on already.

>>95906407 (OP)
sooo... how expensive is it anyway? I've never heard of this but that seems to be the general consensus. what do you have to pay to buy the base game?

>>95951787
The core game is like $400 if you want it physically. Cheaper on black friday.

>>95951821
OOh holy fuck, but if it comes with ALL those minis I can kinda understand it. Looks like it'd be fun if you can fork up the dough and then you'd have a bunch of extra minis for your other games assuming they follow the 1-inch base

>>95951891
Yeah, it's advertised as being 20lb of game and they aren't kidding. It's a heavy-ass box. Still, unless you're dying to build the minis right now I agree with waiting til Black Friday since at minimum they usually chop a $100 off of the price.

>>95951891
It's not cheap, but it's also not a cheaply made product. You can try it out on TTS if you know where to look for a save

>>95926282
The logic that since one player can control 4 characters it should call itself a solo game and not a 4 player coop. Sorry for not realizing you were a drooling retard incapable of making conversation or coherent thoughts for that matter.

>>95906407 (OP)
Nah dawg, i came to tg today just to see if a kdm thread was going just to pat my back on beating/surviving the butcher. Gotta use those head bands! I like the game but holy fuck its easy to make mistakes solo. I forgot scream and lunacy on a few rounds so i tried to adjust accordingly. Never really made it this far before especially trying to learn as i go so in the past id just box it up and play every few months. But since im playing as fairly as i can i really want to finish a full campaign. Regardless im still hoping to finally grab a gambler chest as i could not afford one during the kickstarter.
Thats if they go on sale again and ive got the spare money.

>>95951909
>20 lb of game
Mine came with 20 lb of ass and pussy

Poots should licence his ip out to a game company to make a vidya like DarkSouls/Eldenring

No he shouldn't and yes he's already working on a video game project in-house. There's a separate division for the video game as well.

The real con of Core box is that the minis that came with it kinda "aged bad" compared to the newest minis they release. Biggest problem being the difference in scale.
Even some of the monster/nemesis minis look too small compared to new survivor minis they're releasing.
Interestingly, in GCE you kinda have some minis from old scale and a lot from new.
While I'm glad the creator made up an in-lore reason for it through Giant Blood, it's still jarring when you play with them on the table.
Same goes for all the "old" expansions.

>>95962736
I kinda like having a few different sizes of survivor but the lion in particular is PUNY

also black knight is taller than gold smoke etc.

>>95962736
>>95963618
Yikes. Do you guys have any pictures that show the difference?

>>95964188
There's definitely some scale creep (left side minis are newer) but not enough to notice on the gaming table. Unless you plan to put them together in a diorama it shouldn't be a problem.

The armor sets that come in the core box and 1st wave expacs have ball joints for better posing, but require more gap filling because of that, so its a bit of a tradeoff.

If they ever release a 2.0 box (estimated arrival 2047) they'll probably include upscaled armor sets.

Contrary to popular belief not everything needs a general that quickly runs out of things to say and becomes a useless thread of people just necrobumping it forever with zero actual discussion.

>>95971183
You're right, there are too many warhammer threads.

>>95906407 (OP)
I love it, I just which I had people to play it with, playing solo gets old after a while.
my only real gripe with the game is that every time something new is release they add more and more rules so the game ends of being messy, now I just play with my own homebrew version of the game.

>>95971187
I know exactly what to do, we shall create a new thread for ALL the warhammer discussion

>>95906407 (OP)
Grimdark fatigue is a real thing, adding a high price tag onto that will immediately make people shy away from your product.
>b-but WH40K is exploding with the normies!
40k was always the lightest among the genre, and it's not really grimdark anymore. That, and most people just buy the video games, rather than the actual models or books.
>But [x] KDM community is still around!
Part of the reason it's still niche. They don't generally talk about it anywhere else, in part because of the reaction it gets elsewhere and the lack of derails in said community.

>>95973298
niche is good
no one wants the warhammer retards and spergs in their hobby space

>>95974390
True, but you shouldn't say "my game is le forgotten" and also expect people to flood to your hobby space because something is "just that good" when it's basically hardwired to be extremely niche and alienating from the base concept alone.

>>95909546
it's about a nightmare world inhabited by a myriad of powerful god-like entities, the reason why they look like "porn model-tier tulpas" is because they are not human, they were made by one of the entities in his own perfect image, a lot of the monster you fight were made by other entities and some times you fight the entities themselves.
the main "plot" is about a freshly made batch of this pale humanoid creatures trying to survive in this world, they have no memory or knowledge, they don't even know how to talk, write, or even make fire, and as you progress through the game they start to learn and developed culture.

takes place in another dimension connected through dreams of Lovecraftian nature.

liked it. any thought on aeon trespass odyssey?

>>95906407 (OP)
I really want it, but I can't justify £500 plus shipping from America plus the state mandated theft that is import tax. I really wish i could though as I have a couple of the models and they are sweet, and I buy some stuff from Chinese recasters. The minis are beautiful, the campaign looks amazing, but I cannae afford it.

>>95925014
>He pays money for games
>Especially the ones that explicitly try to run a racket
Lmao on you
>inb4 piracy kills the hobby

Where do you even start with this game?
Which model has the most ass n titties?

>>95976709
I'm pretty sure there is one monster that is 80% titties, the Wet Nurse personally I prefer the mother/grandmother because the preggo cheesecake nun look is sexy
Starting? You sell several organs and uour firstborn to raise the funds, then buy the starter box when it's available. Don't forget a mortgage to afford the expansions.

>>95976709
>Where do you even start with this game?
TTS or their official digital version unless you have spare 400 real american dollars just lying around (in which case you still wouldnt be able to buy the game rn cause it's sold out)

>>95976545
isnt there a bong warehouse specifically for this

>>95953557
not Dark Souls / Elden Ring.

A Survival Horror Monster Hunter Clone.

The mechanics write themselves, If I was part of a gamedev company I would be pitching this idea to everyone that had ears. It's a gold vein waiting to be mined.

>>95914159
>the creator has an uncompromising stance on how the game and its models should look
Why are there so many coomer-bait models? I don't want my edgy dark fantasy to be full of chronic gooners.

>>95977169
>isnt there a bong warehouse specifically for this
Last time I checked, no

>>95978452
Body horror is a core part of the KD's aesthetic and isn't really used in a sexual manner in the core game/expacs.

The pinup models are for painters and aren't required to play the game. They are a lot of fun to paint though.

>>95978471
There is one, but looks like you m8s are out of core game stock, same as the rest of us. TTS has a lot of scripted mods that are better than a physical set if you want to play solo.

>>95978452
some miniatures are call "pinups" and those are the coomer bait, they have nothing to do with the game and are sold separately, they are sexualize versions of existing minis.
this doesn't meant that there isn't any sexualization in the base game, because there's quite a few, but they are more tame compare to the absolute coom that are pinups.
they need to make money somehow.

this might be my new favorite mini. I'm going to try recasting the water with transparent resin

>>95987959
great taste anon

>>95987959
Every female cast having a Pam Grier tier coke bottle figure makes my blood run quick, it's almost offensive.

>>95987959
Sounds pretty good. I have a Beyond the Wall diorama in my pile of shame where I recast the lantern in clear resin and redid some other things. I hope you post to WIP even if I don't hang out on 4chan much these days.

>>95943130
Close. You definitely spend more time painting than playing it seems. I'm somewhat of a hermit and haven't cared for GW since they released super spess mahreens back in 2014 and pulled the buy new models for new edition they always do

>ivory dragon scans are Fucked
>instead of just sending it poots finds some asshole who will do it properly, at his own expense
>scans are spot on
bless him, even jew workshop is sending out dogshit CAD these days

>>95906407 (OP)
overprices hentai coomer game

>>95977780
nah it should be quite literally Eldenring, btw that game and many like it have blatantly ripped off Poots.
Licensing their ip to make the mother of all edgy souls games is only right.

>>95990165
just the way I like my games

>>95990165
>overprice
yeah kinda
>hentai coomer game
not really, you make it as coom as you want to.

>>95976709
I think the best way to start would be a Vignette of Death. They are self contain stories that are way cheaper than the core game and its like a mini, more simplistic version of the actual game, they also come with exclusive minis that you can use with the core game if you end up buying it.
>spoiler
probably pic related

>>95976568
Given the physical component reliance for board games in general, piracy is pretty fucking small in the hobby.

By all means, if you got the ability to pirate all the shit for a proper KDM game, do it. I actually applaud the effort at that point.

>>95910228
Japan won. You can clutch the five hairs remaining on your head about it and scold people, or you can make better and more interesting art, and point out good examples of western media. They exist but no one on four chan talks about them, so people here who are otherwise spoiled for choice are mostly going to know higher quality stuff.

anyone knows which TTS workshop addon is the most complete or best?

>>96008830
>Japan won.

>>95906407 (OP)
does this imply an actual TTRPG of it eventually?

>>96008025
You could just print all the cards and play with standee instead of minis.
But yeah while I think the game is good, I don't think it's worth putting this much effort into it

>>96018684
KDM is one of those games where the spectecal is part of the game. You take that away and a game that is already kinda mid for the time investment required just becomes outright bad.

I got plenty of games that don't really do the whole table presence with minis and artwork out the ass and are good games. HexPlore It: Valley of the Undead King is a hex crawling adventure game with basically no artwork for 90% of the encounters and the character tracking stuff is done on dry erase boards with spreadsheet tier combat and it's still one of my favorite games. KDM just doesn't accomplish being an entertaining experience for most of its playtime.

>>96020002
I do agree that one of the main selling point of KDM is the spectacle however I do really like the gameplay loop, its so good that 3 other board game, that I know of, copy it but yeah it's also a big time investment.

Thanks for reminding me about this game. I've wanted to buy it for a long time, it's always out of stock, then I forget about it. Rinse and repeat. Let's hope I forget about it again before black Friday...

>>96017410
Ive never heard of any suggestion to that, but there are phases where you could role play, story events, settlement phases, hunts.

You guys forget the part where this game is an absolute pain in the ass to play even in Virtual Tabletops, and any combination of bad RNG can make a run unsalvageable and make you lose hours, even days of progress and make you start all over again?

>>96024775
Sounds like a (you) problem

>>96024775
The perfect engine for Darkest Dungeon, then.

>>95906407 (OP)
you didn't forget

Has anyone done a Dream Keeper campaign?
I wish they weren't so secretive about the lore.

>>96026891
it's pretty funky
also introduces non-linear time in the KD universe

>>95916668
Actually they specifically wanted anime-style artists.
Adam Poots is an absolute weeb. Early 2000's super-weeb at that.
>>95917291
Oh yeah, the paperbag dude is barely known and does other grimderp stuff, but his KD:M playthrough was one of very very few that I enjoyed watching. KD:M doesn't translate well to being streamed/recorded.

The Black Knight demo is another entertaining one to show someone or watch if you haven't done so.
>>96024775
Skill issue

>>96024775
if you are having such a hard time with the game just make a couple of house rules, poots isn't going to break into your house and kill you if you homebrew the game.

>>96026891
It's fun the first time. Afterwards you know more or less most of the things you need to in order to assure that you'll at least get to God Hand.
Personally, over time philosophies have became too annoying to deal with, because of book keeping required and the power level of them being all over the place, from some being insanely over powered to some being plain useless.
GCE is still great overall, just that the honey moon period is over.
As far as lore goes, I think the campaign raises more questions than answers.

>>96026891
Haven't done it yet because I need to find some motivation to build/paint the monsters.
But I just did a Core+EoD people of the skull campaign which was pretty fun.
Not as easy as I thought, but that might be because I was hunting for strains and got horrendous luck, but it forces you to play differently than a normal campaign and uses some weird gear (hollow blade my love)

Anyone got any pdfs to post? Did anything come out after gamblers chest? I have a mighty need to read these gamebooks.

>>96029879
>over time philosophies have became too annoying to deal with
the feature creep is getting worse every year, I hope poots stops adding mechanics.

>>96037158
Yeah but you can just not use them

>>96038326
I guess, I just wish that not every expansion came with some BS mechanic that I would use once and then never again.
