Despite my relative silence on the topic, things have been moving along nicely on this front over the last month. It very definitely hasn’t been forgotten. Unfortunately, I can’t tell you any details just yet. “Moving along” doesn’t mean we’ve quite got where we need to be in terms of nailing down all the major variables, and we wanted to be sure of them before we went live. Close though.
All I can say is that it’s looking pretty exciting and is not all that far off now 😉
I have 2 questions. If your able to answer.
1. Is this going to be tile bases, like previous box sets, or is it going to be different?
2. Will it have any type of scenery?
Thanks. Eagerly waiting for the Kickstarter Announcement.
Currently it’s tiles, as before.
There will probably be some scenery like chests, doors and such, but whether this is card, plastic, resin or what is undecided. That might well depend on how well the KS does.
That’s very good news.
Looking forward to the new DKH very much! Could work well with the new board game plastic and a big swarm of minis.
Would love to see some hard plastic dungeon builder sprues too, there would be no upper limit to the amount of those people would buy, even if the standard box just has card tiles to keep the price low and the mini count high.
Not sure about plastic walls. It’s quite an expensive option, and may be better suited for another secret project…
We’ll have to see.
😉
Take your time. I’m all tapped out with the other Kickstarters Mantic had.(IMHO)
Awesome! Can’t wait! Personally I think high quality card tiles as default with the option to upgrade to hard plastic would suit the most people.
I’m really looking forward to this, but hopefully it doesn’t start till after the due dates for payment on dead zone and mars attacks otherwise I won’t have enough money.
Can’t help you on the dates. I don’t know when the due dates are, nor do I think a final decision has yet been made on a start date. Mind you, the due date for any new KS wouldn’t be till the end anyway.
Fantastic news. I also echo the above sentiments of having the boxed game come with good quality cardboard/chipboard tiles, with the option to upgrade. I went overboard on the Dwarven Forge tiles, and don’t need any more dungeon dressing!!
Can’t wait to hear more
CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cool! I look forward to badgering you about it at the open day Jake 🙂
We should know more by then.
When (and what…?) is open day?
May the 17th, I believe. At Mantic’s new HQ in Nottingham. Have a look at their site. I think it’s a ticketed event.
It is indeed a ticketed event at £6 a ticket (of which you will get a £5 voucher on entry, loads going on through the day , check out the website as there are different tickets
somebody that interrogates jake at the open day needs to post it here for the rest of us…..
Looking forward to this very much!
Would love an update, Jake, when you get a chance. I’m hoping to add this to boardgamegeek.com, to help drum up interest. There are a few pieces of info that would help me to put in an entry: Is there an official title yet? Who’s the artist? All of those details can be edited or corrected once the game entry is posted, but it’s good to get ’em straight the first time!
Thanks.
