in terms of color

[ornate dock]

Thank you for all these advicies btw

[wooden widget]

i like to get dioxazine purple - lovely pigment

happy to help friend

[ornate dock]

It was really helpfull

[wooden widget]

if you gonna get comfortable with a good B&W underpainting add color theory to it. I've been experimenting with heavy environmental lighting that lets me do very strong saturated colors

[ornate dock]

Have you any pictures of the minis you painted Îm curious about your work

[wooden widget]

if you have instagram then check craftsworldstudio - he's a great inspiration for very color theory playful things

[ornate dock]

I will try

[ornate dock]

I think I know him

He paint minis like he is painting on a canvas

[wooden widget]

playing with eldfall chronicles and marvel crisis protocol lately, but got in love with DRG and cant wait for the newest KS to start.
Not sure what's the policy on non-drg stuff so gonna spoiler it

wanted to brush up my speed painting techniques, and a boardgame seems like a great way to do it.

[ornate dock]

Wow

They look so good

[wooden widget]

thank you ❤️

[ornate dock]

Did you use oil wash ?

[wooden widget]

nope, not here. These are painted using a weird underpainting

[ornate dock]

Your way to paint light is really intersting, I will totally try to paint that way

[royal nacelle]

If it's on topic when talking about painting / model making / board gaming it's usually okay in here, but won't fly for example in the fan-art channel.

As long as it follows other rules, like SFW etc

[ornate dock]

Did you use an airbrush ?

[wooden widget]

oh yeah, very fun way, highly recommend it. Just remember that shadows aren't black. They're the environment vibe. So that's why I'm using purplish/jadeish tones

[wooden widget]

yeah, all of it is zenithal, then one color from bottom and one from top to stimulate some environment lightning

[ornate dock]

I would pove to use one but it’s too expensive for me to

[ornate dock]

I try to do that with brush but it’s way much harder

[wooden widget]

yeah that's true, it takes a bit longer with brush. But honestly - at this stage transitions aren't that important. You could try flow improver or glaze medium to help make the paint workable longer

so you can make the transitions

in the end i always need to work with brush

airbrush ain't gonna cut it, but it's a helpful tool

and honestly for quick paint jobs id do a drybrush just to make the edges pop more, so it's another step that would hide airbrush vs brush for that base layer

but the key to more colorful paintings for me was just not using black and white altogheter and making more dramatic lighting choices. Very fun puzzle solving

[ornate dock]

Yes I try not using white at all and it lead to really intersting results

[wooden widget]

ye, white is bad, especially when you want to run yellow glazes on it - it makes it greenish. Try using pink instead of white for it 😄
my go to is just off white in yellowish direction. Once I understood that values are relative it just made it soo much easier to make it feel very bright by not going higher anywhere else.

can't wait to see your spitballer 😄

[ornate dock]

Thank you For all these advices and especially your exemples, it helped me a ton

[ornate dock]

I’l ping you when îll finish it

Thank you so much !

[hoary girder]

Guys we are fucked

Also gunner is alive, just knocked

[royal nacelle]

wee bit spread out perhaps.

[hoary girder]

There is a chance, yes

Also we had fast critters a minute ago

[royal nacelle]

Depends on the rest of the map, how many more Morkite other than those two do you have to get

[hoary girder]

Only one now

We are trying

[ornate dock]

3 web spitter is crazy

You are cooked

[hoary girder]

Yep, you get jt

[ornate dock]

Regroupe the webspitter on the bulk and kill him

Then revive gunner and use shield

[hoary girder]

Nah, we just rush the morkite

[royal nacelle]

Specifically mentioned that Gunner wasn't incapacitated

[hoary girder]

Cause we have almost only red dice

And bulk rejects those

[ornate dock]

I am blind asf my bad

[royal nacelle]

Driller is within R3 of two webspitters in that picture, when it's his turn he can take them out if he has any ammo, even use drills on the adjacent one.

So much depends on what ammo/throwables/R&S cards you have, who's turn it is, etc.

[hoary girder]

WE DID IT

ROCK AND STONE

[royal nacelle]

[wooden widget]

Are there any expectations around how long it could take from the start of the KS to delivery? How long did it take last time?

[hoary girder]

I think About a year, but don't quote me on this

[royal nacelle]

10 months or so last time.

[wooden widget]

Gotcha. And is there any known delivery time estimate around ordering from their site? Kinda bummed out I can't find copies locally

[royal nacelle]

well it's not next day delivery. They used to process orders once a week but now with more warehouses I'd suspect that they do it more often. Beyond that it's just handling & shipping, so two or three weeks depending on where you are.

[wooden widget]

Appreciate the in depth answer!

[kindred gale]

Are there even 3 roses in the game?

[royal nacelle]

According to the components list there are.

[ornate dock]

@wooden widget your advices helped me a lot thank you ! I know it’s bot perfect but I know What to improve for my next mini

Maybe I will smooth out some part so it look better and post it after, it’s just late and i cannot continue to work on it

[wooden widget]

Colorful! 😄 gj! If you want to further increase readability I like doing some black lining - this is the only moment I'm using black (i like ink and a long, thin brush) to make some occlusion shadows, which helps seperate objects and further increases contrast

[ornate dock]

I will try this as well as try ing to blond better because my model here is kinda messy

[wooden widget]

doesn't look too messy in my opinion! I would just push for more contrast on the form design to help readability of plane changes 😄 ie, stronger shadows (occlusion being a part of it, and just to highlight each form a bit stronger, especially when you have a strong light source). But I do enjoy the color palette and think that it's gonna look already good on board 🙂

Cuz blending looks nice, but in the end it's only working on edges element of the foundations - helping describe the form change relative to light (ie no harsh cuts or changes in direction, but a smooth round transition). Won't be that visible until you actually push to values of planes a bit stronger 😄

[midnight maple]

Working on custom upgrade tokens to incorporate homebrew stuff (ignore the horrid topology, this is my first model ever and I improved after that)

[wooden widget]

That's cool! Can I ask why blender? I've done similar custom stuff in CAD tools, like onshape 😄 found it a bit easier on myself, but curious about other approaches

[midnight maple]

I had a friend teach me 3d modeling and he's used to blender, so I just did the same so it'll be easier for the both of us

[ornate dock]

Thank you !

[ornate dock]

What will be the homebrew rule btw ?

[midnight maple]

Custom upgrades. So far I've made 6 upgrades so there would be a total of 16, and in a really lucky deep dive a full team can have full upgrades.

I might work on more in the future, to give a little bit of variety to games where even if you manage to save every weapon upgrade you find, there would still be more variety than different players holding different upgrades (but coming up with upgrade ideas that aren't overtuned/overpowered is hard)

[kindred gale]

When do you think we will get expansions in tabletop simulator

[royal nacelle]

There's no information whatsoever to go on, it's just guesswork. Could be on thursday, could be a month from now, could be in two months.

Earlier 'releases' aren't anything to go by since it's one individual making it, there's no telling at what point the assets were all completed from MOOD's side, or how much time they (mod creator) has to put into it currently.

So, it'll be on TTS when it's on TTS, any guessing, hoping, or thinking, is likely to just lead you to disappointing yourself.

[plucky furnace]

Fellow Dwarves! Is there a community who is making their own maps and sharing them online? I finally have all the DLC except for "Goo from Above" but would like some combination missions using all DLC features. Anyone know of a community who is making, sharing and playing their own maps?

[royal nacelle]

There's an app you can download, made by Jake P (SirSamson). Beyond that there's a handful on Board Game Geek as well, made both with the app and a few others have shared. Haven't seen that many shared tho. Best off with the app I reckon

https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/3512461/mission-generator-app-were-back-online

[plucky furnace]

Amazing, thank you!

[inner sable]

Is it Thursday yet? 😁

I cannot wait to see the new content that is planned!

[royal nacelle]

Soon™ few more days... (repeat as necessary)

[urban iron]

Me neither! Incredibly excited

[still pasture]

Just received my copy of both the biome expansion and goo from above. I was wondering if someone has some painting tips for specific models and recommend paints?

[kindred gale]

My general tip is that you can look thru this channel's media tab, you can find some inspiration there

[wooden widget]

yeah, for quick results I recommend checking out the "slapchop" technique (on youtube there's tons of guides).
This will get your minis quickly up to tabletop standard via the contrast/speedpaint line of paints 🙂

Btw out of curiosity, did you order from mood publishing site? How long did it take from order to delivery? 😄

[still pasture]

Ty for the suggestion. I have found some i really like the look of.

[still pasture]

I think i will have to use that technique, good idea. I ordered from mood publishing last week saturday and arrived today in the afternoon. For context, i bought it in europe.

[kindred gale]

The board game tommorow

[ashen oar]

np

[ornate dock]

deltarune board game extension tommorow

[warm thunder]

Looking forward to support the expansion kickstarter tomorrow. Rock and stone!

[kindred gale]

Anybody knows what time will expansions launch?

[royal nacelle]

July 3 at 3 PM CEST

[kindred gale]

Huh, I thought it was 2nd July

[royal nacelle]

You thought wrong then

[kindred gale]

Well then

...............

The expansions tommorow!

[hasty flicker]

Any idea what that eel is?!?

[royal nacelle]

Yup

[tardy merlin]

It might shock you...

[sweet jewel]

Has there been any talk of a possible all-in-one collection/box set? I don't want to buy them all and then have a complete set come out and buy again, but I would love that option to have all-in-one

[hasty flicker]

Are you talking about a box that contains everything from all the expansions and base game or an all in pledge that will have everything old and new?

[sweet jewel]

a box that would hold all of the base + expansions

[hasty flicker]

I don’t know if they would have a box like that due to how big the game is but they will definitely have a all in for everything old and new so you won’t be missing out on anything

[sweet jewel]

they "will?". Do they have a new kickstarter in the works?

[hasty flicker]

Tomorrow they come out with another expansion

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/moodpublishing/deep-rock-galactic-rivals-and-horrors-of-hoxxes

[sweet jewel]

Wow, good timing

[hasty flicker]

It will come out 3pm cest

It has been awhile since they came out with anything new so don’t worry about missing out on one huge set this would probably be your best chance at that

But I would warn you if you plan on getting it you will have to wait the “kickstarter” delay so it could take over a year to show up so if you don’t want to wait that you can always get the base game to hold you over on their website

[tough ridge]

weird. I can't access the STL files? Need to replace the turret

[sweet jewel]

I have the base, thanks, I was just hesitating buying more because I've been burned before where I get all of a game and expansions and then they have a Complete Edition

[sweet jewel]

I might have em if you need

[sweet jewel]

supported or unsupported?

[tough ridge]

I supported them- Oh, you mean- okay, is the support setup for Resin or FDM

[sweet jewel]

I have ones with or without supports

I can just give both if you want? You just need turret?

[tough ridge]

Just the turret.

[sweet jewel]

What's appropriate on here? Post right here or DM?

[tough ridge]

DM I guess.

[sweet jewel]

sent

[tough ridge]

I do wish I could get the ones I paid for but oh well

[midnight maple]

Same but it's a shame that it's an "all or nothing" bundle and I'm too broke to buy another deluxe edition

[upbeat oasis]

Do we now what time and time zone the kickstarter launches?

[midnight maple]

^

[upbeat oasis]

Thank you :)

[midnight maple]

Np

[royal nacelle]

Not appropriate to share a paid for product.

[royal nacelle]

Any uploads they've done would have expired by now. You'd have to contact MOOD to get a new link.

[midnight maple]

Where can you buy the files?

[royal nacelle]

from MOOD

Don't think it's on their webstore, but you can email [e-mail]

Backerkit in theory still has them so can probably get them through there: https://drg-expansions.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders

[urban iron]

Data cell mini?

[idle finch]

Finally, I can eat the heart of the caretaker and see if I get any freaky powers

[royal nacelle]

Think those might be the batteries? Since there's two

[midnight maple]

Will the rival expansion only have rival tech enemies and industrial sabotage or will there be more to it?

[tardy merlin]

We will know more at around 3pm CEST

[midnight maple]

2.5 more hours ig

[plush surge]

is it too much hoping that you'll be able to pick up the caretaker energy field's batteries and use them as bombs; like you can do in the videogame? It's a massive stretch, i know

[plush surge]

those are data racks

batteries are small, brown with reddish energy colour

[ancient prawn]

you can get them directly from MOOD publishing, by contacting their support. they send you a individual link.

[royal nacelle]

Everything isn't going to be 100% similar though, and there isn't two data racks normally is there?

Actually, they could be the zapper things that rise out of the ground when you get too close to the caretaker?

[plush surge]

Possible but I doubt important pieces like data racks will be used as replacement models for batteries or the Tesla coils

It wouldn’t make sense. Also I doubt dwarves will be able to step on the caretaker’s platform in the board game, which makes Tesla coils redundant as they’re used to deter them to camp under the boss in the video game

By the common thought that small details like those are overall just flavour mechanics , the board game should have neither batteries nor Tesla coils

[royal nacelle]

Nor two data cell miniatures on the board during the caretaker fight...

[plush surge]

What if they’re used as tokens for which power station is still active and which one is already dead

Another stretch, I know

Ah well, 2 more hours and we’ll know

[royal nacelle]

My guess is it's just box art.

By logic if it's the data cell there wouldn't be two, nor would they be present during the fight, so it'd just be box art flavour.

[obtuse flare]

Well done miners

[rain escarp]

Yeah it got funded while I was looking at the stuff crazy work

[obtuse flare]

Same

[inner sable]

Easy back

I'm so happy to see BET-C!

[plush surge]

@royal nacelle would you know where i can buy some round googly (but not flat) eyes for the barrage infector?

lol

[hushed marsh]

Backed the collectors edition, my duty is done

[royal nacelle]

Not off the top of my head, I'd have to look around (pun intended)

[plush surge]

Great, thanks!

[spiral belfry]

I was there before it was funded, lol. Talk about an early bird

[obtuse flare]

I did my part

[frigid shoal]

Excited! Got the full game so far, so definitely considering this. I'm bummed that the acryllic tokens got put as an addon instead of a stretch goal though..

[obtuse flare]

Guess we go back to work now miners

[spiral belfry]

No stretch goals seems like a good idea, given the result

I'm excited to see how the dice, new mat, and barrel game end up

Wonder if there'll be any new grenades or secondaries

[fast beacon]

185 euro for collectors is pretty good, 235 from last was abysmal

[spiral belfry]

I take it you didn't get the collector's then?

[warm thunder]

I am very pleased to see all the new additions. More than they were letting on!
Metal dice is cool, too. Pretty pumped.

[warm thunder]

They are included in the collector's edition.

[spiral belfry]

Acrylics have always been collector's or add-on if I'm not mistaken

[frigid shoal]

Oh whoops! Egg on my face. Didn't see that, and misremembered from the last campaigns. Thanks for the correction.

I haven't pledged yet, but still might :)

[spiral belfry]

I look forward to the inevitable surprise(s) but I am more than happy with the current selection

[frigid shoal]

I typically split the pledges with my dad, who paints the minis, let's see if he can be swayed !

[violet musk]

seems to be a bit of an error, in the collector's bundle image the new art prints are included even though they shouldn't be

[warm thunder]

They were quite thorough with adding in the remaining critters into the game. Not entirely sold on a smokescreen glyphid but I respect Mood for their creativity bringing unique board-game-only creatures into the mix. And shoot maybe Ghostship will feel inspired and bring a surprise into the video game for us. How crazy would it be to see a shockwyrm in Season 6?

[violet musk]

a giant worm that digs though terrain would be dope, true

[median ice]

I'm glad there's a new neoprene mat included in the collector's edition. I've given up hope of storing this game compactly.

[warm thunder]

Seriously, SAME.

[violet musk]

and how do we know it wont just be separate like the old one?

also, quick info about this thing

[slender swallow]

Anyone know what the mission cards do?

[violet musk]

you can back the pledge without reward and later change to another tier and still get the coin

[slender swallow]

Im thinking of getting the collectors edition of this, but I only have the base game collectors editiong and not the mixed missions rule book.

Like, how do these additional biomes and missions tie into the base game?

[median ice]

The add-ons are all included in the Collector's edition. Also showed a break down during check-out.

[violet musk]

i think i just misunderstood what you said lol, thought you meant the new mat was gonna store more easily somehow

[median ice]

Oh gotcha. Yeah no. I've managed to have all the game's current content in the original box + the Biomes expansion box. This will no longer be possible.

[violet musk]

no idea how you fit the mat into that

[median ice]

*should clarify don't currently own a mat

[royal nacelle]

They're for the spacerig expansion, to draw a random mission.

[frigid shoal]

Shai hulud!

[violet musk]

for the base game, you just pick a starting layout and go with it

[slender swallow]

If I dont have that, then how do I play this new content? We are currently halfway into the standard game campaign.

[violet musk]

as long as you have the base game, you can add expansion stuff however you please

[midnight maple]

What does it mean by unsupported?

[slender swallow]

Maybe I should get the mixed missions book, so I have another campaign that we can adapt the new pieces to.

[slender swallow]

The models come as they look in the picture. They have no supports added for 3D/resin printing, you have to add those manually.

[violet musk]

yea exactly that

[midnight maple]

I see

[slender swallow]

Kind of a tedious process, resin models should always come pre-supported imo.

[violet musk]

3d printing programs have ways to automatically add supports, and honestly i wont be surprised if some expert in here adds said supports

[slender swallow]

Lets say I get the collectors bundle now. Should I then get the Mixed missions book so we have another campaing to draw from, then mix in the new pieces wherever it makes sense?

[violet musk]

i think the wind knocked a plate into the floor one moment

[midnight maple]

But sometimes supports hurt the detailing on the final print, no?

[slender swallow]

Automatic supports rarely work well, sadly. Resin printing is espcially sensitive to poorly placed supports, with models failing completely if they arent done right.

[violet musk]

the mixed missions book is a thing for if you own the space rig and and biome expansions

[slender swallow]

Yes, but you should always place them in such a way to minimize damage. And expect some amount of sanding afterwards to clean the mup. Supports are required, the models fail completely to print without them.

[slender swallow]

Right. So these expansions are only for random missions then?

Its always more fun to play with friends when you have a clear way forward, a structured campaign to work through.

Really wish they would offer the previous expansions on this page, instead of in that 600 Euro bundle, thats too much.

[royal nacelle]

Each expansion comes with its own missions, the mixed missions combines missions from spacerig with biomes. Personally I find it easy enough to pick a biome, and then pick a mission.

[violet musk]

without the space rig expansion it'll be like you currently play, you pick a mission and place starting stuff like you'd expect

some things like creatures get mixed into the existing cards too for more new stuff

[royal nacelle]

Bottom of the page, they're addons. You can add them as you like in the pledge manager later.

[slender swallow]

Ohhhh, I must have missed that!

[paper wedge]

does the collectors editions for the new expansions come with the acrylic tokens or do I have to add them manually?

[violet musk]

acrylic tokens are included

[royal nacelle]

Those are included in the collector's pledge.

[paper wedge]

ok thanks

[violet musk]

everything new is included

[violet musk]

plus the previous mini expansions

[slender swallow]

Do I have to do the base game upgrade to 2nd edition as well?

Also, why isnt the mixed missions book anywhere to be found? Kind of a requirement isnt it?

[violet musk]

the mixed missions book is more of an extra thing, but if you want to i could get you a scan of it

since you're already buying a lot

[royal nacelle]

It's a paid for product that MOOD have chosen not to upload online. Please don't share stuff like that here.

[slender swallow]

Ill get it some other way if I need to. But it really should be included with the expansions, crazy that it isnt.

[violet musk]

yeah fair enough actually

[royal nacelle]

You don't have to, it mainly gives you individual creature data cards instead of the large sheet, and larger rulebooks.

[violet musk]

honestly you could probably ask mood about the mixed missions, they might even add it as an addon

[royal nacelle]

Not a requirement at all, and I'm not surprised due to all the negative comments there were regarding it during the last campaign.

[slender swallow]

About the previous biome expansion, is it just two large two-sided cave segments per biome like this one? Or is it more? Im tryhing to decide between space rig or the previous expansion.

[hollow socket]

I appreciate the 2nd edition upgrade pack for the 1st edition game. ❤️

[royal nacelle]

I'd have to check but it had 3 tiles for some biomes.

[royal nacelle]

4 tiles each for fungus bogs and azure weald, 3 tiles each for glacial strata and magma core.

[slender swallow]

Ah good, because the picture above shows... One, for glacial strata. Like, there would be next to no mission variety with just that.

[obtuse flare]

All biome tiles are double sided

[royal nacelle]

6 double sided for this new one likely means 3 per biome.

[slender swallow]

And then you add the smaller, random off-shoot caves on top of that, with their usual random elements inside.

May be a bit much to go for 4 new biomes, then 4 of the previous biomes on top of that. Maybe Ill go for the space rig expansion that, altho I ahve no idea how that even works or how it ties into missions. Im gonna have to read up on it.

[royal nacelle]

It's more that you get the creatures, I'd say.

But yeah if you're getting Biomes 2, then perhaps Spacerig instead of Biomes 1, so you can get Escort and on-site refining

altho Biomes 1 does have some of my favourite creatures

[violet musk]

the biome expansion is definitely for the creatures, i mean theres a dreadnought

[urban iron]

Ooooh boy these expansions look good

[inner sable]

So I'm a bit mixed. On one hand, yay new creatures!

On the other hand, I feel like it's getting a bit overwhelming to have ALL the creature minis available and ready to spawn

[violet musk]

basically, cross missions upgrades and modifiers

[urban iron]

I meant you dont have to play with every expansion at the same time. I quite like mixing stuff up to really see some unique enemies shine often

[royal nacelle]

Could always take out the cards from the swarm/event deck, depending on what you want to play with. Personally I also only grab one of everything really (other than grunts), and then fetch extras as necessary rather than pile up everything on the table.

That, or a side table with the boxes

[slender swallow]

Guh, this is tough. Not sure at all anymore! Ha.

[royal nacelle]

Yup. I can barely imagine the indecisiveness of having to pick what to buy, as I've gotten everything. Having to choose would be immensely tough.

[violet musk]

do you have "just" the base game or the goo bombers too?

[royal nacelle]

I have double up of miniatures from Biomes and Spacerig too, since I made my own while waiting for the games to arrive xD

[slender swallow]

I have the collectors edition with Goo Bombers mini expansion.

[inner sable]

That's not a bad idea

[violet musk]

it might because i think shiny new thing looks cool but I'd go with horrors of hoxxes over the biomes expansion

theres a good amount of creatures and the biome specific hazards do look cool

[slender swallow]

Yeah I was thinking of doing that because it adds 4 new expansions. Getting 8 new expansions would be a bit overwhelming. So maybe Ill do the collectors edition of this and then the space rig expansion and call it a day.

[arctic cave]

nice to see new enemy variety

[slender swallow]

Is the Tyrant Weed, Bulk etc worth it?

[violet musk]

i think the tyrant is better than the bulk

it has one of those random tiles you flip, and suddenly getting a tyrant fight is quite the experience

[royal nacelle]

I've enjoyed both

[violet musk]

the bulk is really cool too but it's one large mini and a few cards

[royal nacelle]

I've had more memorable experiences with the bulk, only one time have I run into proper trouble with the Korlok, and my team was already in trouble really so didn't feel as it was the Korlok on its own that did it.

[plush surge]

Theyre really fun, both of them. Korlok expecially makes boring missions very interesting, expecially if your friends are new to the board game/video game

[royal nacelle]

the bulk detonator evens out the creature roster I feel, especially once you add the biome creatures. Else you'll rarely meet high health creatures.

[violet musk]

its a lot more possible to 3d print a bulk mini and get a few cards for him than to make your own korlok

[royal nacelle]

Not really. Same same, if you're 3d printing. And you can designate one of the 8 hidden tiles to be the Korlok, as I do now due to the colour difference on the back of the tile.

[violet musk]

but yeah me and johnno having wildly different opinions should tell you that they're both good

[royal nacelle]

With the bulk det I designated one of the exploder spawn cards, and removed the other, prior to getting the real deal.

[slender swallow]

I think I would prefer the Korlok to be honest. Now I just need to look at a video of the space rig expansion to understand what Im getting.

[royal nacelle]

You could download the rulebook for it from board game geek, and look through the components list and rules..

[violet musk]

shockwyrm my beloved

[inner sable]

Really curious what that will do

I assume it's going to be a swarm spawn

[violet musk]

seems to be like the bulk but with dreadnought like abilities

[inner sable]

Any guesses what collecting Jade might do?

[violet musk]

tasty mid game snack

[lime jungle]

I'm kinda glad they didn't re-release everything as 3rd gen. I don't have to experience FOMO over things I already have!

[autumn mural]

I'm hoping they add a separate add-on for just half sleeves. I have so many extra standard sleeves from last time, and would happily double up on half sleeves.

[violet musk]

Wanna know a horrible thing you can do? The caretaker piece uses the hidden cave segment shape. You can easily mix it into your stack of hidden pieces

[plush surge]

surprise caretaker fight during your chill escort duty mission

i see nothing wrong with that

[violet musk]

No problems at all

[slender swallow]

Gosh, I didnt realize the previous expansions all came with their own unique missions that showcase the new stuff. Now I really dont know. I quite like the new creatures introduced with the new biomes, but with the 4 new biomes I assume itll be the same. It would be quite interesting to mix in the new creatures and event cards with the new biome. in that regard, the previous biome expansion wins easily.

So the new expansios + biome 1 might actualyl be the best combo, plus korlok. This will spice up events a fair bit across all missions in all biomes.

[inner sable]

Challenge accepted 😆

[neat mirage]

honestly, it's starting to be a whole too many boxes and things in general for me

it's already taking so much space 😵‍💫

[violet musk]

At this rate I'll be able to enjoy the rogue core 1.0 release on a board game box throne

[royal nacelle]

Mission 3 just became more interesting.. pickaxe the wall, get Caretaker, Korlok Weed, and BET-C, all at once.

[neat mirage]

[plush surge]

extra points if you manage to kill at least 2 of those with a bulk

[violet musk]

Is there a dreadnought mission with 3 hidden segments?

Cause I have an idea

[royal nacelle]

You can always make one.

[violet musk]

I shall call it Mission X: Insurance Fraud

Oh right with horrors of hoxxes both the twins and the regular dreadnought can be added

[royal nacelle]

Saw mention of it in the comments, they're fixing stuff as errors are found. Think it's fixed now.

[violet musk]

Mood's keyboard gnomes are quite good at their jobs

[royal nacelle]

yeah several things have been fixed, saw some mention of what STL packs go where etc.

[violet musk]

Actually now that I think about it you could pretty easily balance this, give it only one appendage and much less starting health and you got a pretty easy diy mini expansion for any non rival missions

[frigid shoal]

...Is that not the point? It's what I did with the Korlok (which for some reason happens to show up every other mission)

[violet musk]

That's the point of the korlok and the newly revealed bet-c, but the caretaker is supposed to be mission specific

[frigid shoal]

Fair point

[royal nacelle]

The power stations are shown as being on their own hidden cave tiles, so if you mix in just the caretaker you'd be removing those, so it's no longer a industrial sabotage mission but only the caretaker. Would be like adding the dreadnought to a hidden cave tile, or swarm card, I suppose.

[plucky furnace]

Imagine a mission where you spawn in a closed off droppod location. Mine 2 blocks to reveal only hidden segments with a full caretaker, betC, Korlok and all other hellish things one can think of

[royal nacelle]

Yup, Mission#3 as I mentioned earlier 😛

[plucky furnace]

No no no, skip the revealed segments and make a custom mission with ONLY hidden segments.

Calling it Bravo 6

[plush surge]

i was kinda expecting them to make a rival presence mission modifier

or as theyre called: "warnings"

rival missions dont seem to have any special event/swarm cards tied to them except for the mission specific ones

[royal nacelle]

Neither did Spacerig

[dusk edge]

Apparently Rival Incursion is no longer available on kickstarter. I wanted to get the bundle, but it’s only letting me get Horrors of Hoxxes

[plush surge]

but rival enemies can appear in other missions through warning, escort duty mission doesnt add anything optional to the other missions

[frigid shoal]

Check again, I just checked and I could select all possible rewards. Must be something wrong in your browser

[royal nacelle]

Stuff can happen in the video game that doesn't happen in the board game, and other way around. Better to not expect a 1:1 adaptation.

[kindred gale]

Why cant I add upgrade kit to my pledge?

[dusk edge]

It worked this time

[slender swallow]

Think I might just get the collectors edition of this new release + korlok. Too much money to get the previous expansion. I think gameplay wise this will be plenty for now.

We still have the original missions to get through and I dont get many opportunities to play with friends, so its slow going.

[royal nacelle]

squints at text... CSI enhance!

[tardy merlin]

New update.

[plucky furnace]

Love it already

[urban iron]

I can barely beat hazard 2

[dawn ibex]

I think I officially subjectively have enough stuff with the first two expansions

looks great though

good to see that there is still a lot of interest though

[obtuse flare]

Haz 6 is finally real

[dawn ibex]

wish I could get the haz 6 cards on their own

the septic spreader mini almost makes me want to back

almost

I love killing that dude in game

[tacit yew]

oh wow

ive got a LOT of reading to do

[tacit yew]

this is awesome

[inner sable]

It sounds to me that this enemy will damage other enemies too?

[royal nacelle]

"targets" is usually only hostile ones.

Since it can't on its own target creatures.

[ember ledge]

don't forget the option to try out the game via steam's Table Top Simulator if you own it (with all pre this campaing released expansions)

[warm thunder]

Late to the chat but wanted to toss this in there as a HIGHLY EFFECTIVE homebrew rule to mix things up, though it does add a few minutes to setup. I have my swarm deck cards separated out into multiple piles, based on the creature itself. The base deck includes grunts/slashers/praetorians and the many random basic combos, then I have piles for each specific creature.

I roll the three green dice for each pile. 2 or more hits tells me to include the pile, and I prepare the mini for the possibility. 1 or less? Sorry creature, you won't show up this time!

I do this for high profile targets too like the Oppressor and Bulk Detonator.

It feels good knowing the enemy variety before the mission, helps prepare more uniquely in a way for greater gameplay variety. "Less is more" functionality.

Just thought I'd share.

With even more creatures coming, I think this will prove even more effective.

[royal nacelle]

Could do the same but draw a card from each separate pile, so only some of each are included. That way you won't know exactly what shows up, but it'll be less heavy/special creatures.

Kinda like how version 0 of DRG had you select number of 'positive' cards to set the hazard level.

[warm thunder]

Yeah that could work too. I just liked organizing it like this for easy mini prep.

Not sure if relevant but I also play a homerule where the mission continues if the swarm track is maxed. Any card that says to increase the track by any amount instantly triggers a swarm instead. It's a lot of fun to try and power through instead of instantly losing!

[tacit yew]

holy crap thats amazing

having an enemy that destroys your minerals is going to be so fun

[royal nacelle]

That's I think exactly the rule that's in the 2nd ed rulebook as an optional 'end of game' rule.

[tacit yew]

i might skip horrors of hoxxes just because i dont want to deal with hollow bough.

[warm thunder]

I guess MOOD saw what I was doing and incorporated it. You're welcome everyone lol

[tacit yew]

lol

[hollow crow]

Horrors of Hoxxes seems to have a lot more stuff than the rival incursion? Or am I missing something

Really nice to have so many more biomes

[warm thunder]

Horrors provides biomes and creatures, whereas Rival provides mission variety. This is not dissimilar to Biome and Spacerig, respectively. Both are good options for different reasons.

[tacit yew]

cant believe we are finally getting new event cards

[royal nacelle]

doubt it, was ages ago 😛

[tacit yew]

thats interesting. we can hack turrets bot not patrol bots?

[hollow crow]

Aren’t those just missions for the robot side? Though that said, does make me wonder how the new biomes will get incorporated into the old missions

[hushed lodge]

I think most people played by that homebrew rule ever since the game came out because the whole "you lose if you run out of time" just felt bleh.

[tacit yew]

i guess it makes a lot more sense because we already have friendly turrets

[warm thunder]

Makes more sense for the board game. Hacking immovable turret means it just triggers at a certain point for you automatically, whereas hacking/controlling a bot also needs movement control, a more complicated step added to the mix in a board game.

[halcyon silo]

Quick question, the deluxe upgrade kit was already included in the biome expansion, wasn't it?

[royal nacelle]

It was included in the previous Kickstarter campaign.

[halcyon silo]

Aight then I don't need to get that

[royal nacelle]

Game is entirely playable without it too, even if you don't have it.

[tacit yew]

whats the difference between cardboard, plastic, and acrylic tokens?

[royal nacelle]

Acrylic is plastic.

Cardboard is what comes with the game, acrylic is the fancy plastic ones.

[bright summit]

How accurate were the "Estimated timelines" on the past Kickstarters from MOOD (for the fulfilment to be exact)?

[warm thunder]

The US timelines were pretty spot-on.

The initial one was a little behind, but they seemed to recalculate for the first expansions.

[royal nacelle]

First campaign was a few months off for some people, fulfilment started "on time" but took longer than expected. Second campaign I think was quite spot on.

[tacit yew]

so since the new expansions have acrylic tokens and the base game has cardboard wont they feel really different?

[royal nacelle]

All the boxes come with cardboard tokens. The plastic tokens are extra.

[tacit yew]

oh ok

[royal nacelle]

If you didn't buy plastic tokens for the base game but do for the expansions then that's kinda on you. You can still buy the plastic ones for the base game now.

[warm thunder]

I love my plastic tokens, they feel great! As a little bonus, it's possible to double-up on secrets in random sessions, since you can mix them with the cardboard ones for the drawing pool.

[tacit yew]

im considering getting plastic tokens for everything

but i also feel like they arent very necessary

[warm thunder]

I mean no, they aren't necessary. They are an addition.

[hollow crow]

I like having both for the redundancy, but honestly the cardboard ones look and feel better. Truer colours

[warm thunder]

The cardboard is just fine.

I feel the plastic look better? Maybe it's the lighting at my table though. Regardless, I've already scuffed a couple cardboard tokens, but my plastic ones will likely outlive me lol

[hollow crow]

Plastic is definitely more durable

[warm thunder]

I also like the way they feel. Tactile stuffs is important to me in my board games and cardboard is a tad bland. But we're seriously splitting hairs here, both work great. Plastic is separate because it's an extra, not a necessity.

[ember ledge]

do we know if the small card sleeves included in the card sleeve addon still have them fit in the box slot? I feel like i remember the mini cards had a problem when sleeved with becoming too big

[warm thunder]

Not sure. In general, card steeves sleeves always increase thickness and width. I have all mine sleeved but everything fits in the original boxes, albiet a bit tight.

[lyric sapphire]

Guys I'm sorry this feels like a dumb question but what does "Color injected" mean 😭

[frigid shoal]

That the plastic will be in a different colour than 'base plastic', so gold, in this case

[lyric sapphire]

So if I buy a bundle that comes with this statue it will be gold not grey?

[royal nacelle]

yes

[lyric sapphire]

Alright thats I wanted to know thank you!

[tacit yew]

i cant wait to make my steeve and memorial hall dwarf statues fight

[lyric sapphire]

I wish I had the memorial hall dwarf but hey at least I can get the steeve one now!

[warm zealot]

WOW its raised so much! hell yea

[sleek spear]

Someone can tell me where the shockwyrm appear? I had near 400hr in the videogame, is from the last season or something?

[royal nacelle]

It's a board game exclusive.

[sleek spear]

Nice, thanks u, it was killing me hahaha

I love it

[dawn ibex]

I am so freaking stoked for this campaign! ROCK AND STONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also MOOD has been amazing at their timelines so its very exciting to see that I will get to play this likely by the beginning of next year, thats so fast!

[spiral belfry]

I consider it a must-have, as every game with cardboard tokens eventually has the pieces break down

[spiral belfry]

Then don't shuffle on all the creature swarm/wave cards

[ember ledge]

the big question is how many premium dice do i want to get? :/

i have 4 sets of dice 😄

[royal nacelle]

don't you start as well. I've already gone through the turmoil of pondering that. *glares @tardy merlin *

[ember ledge]

but i don't see me getting 4 premium dice sets 😄

[ember ledge]

i bet. i was checking if i care about money per plastic but i didn'T care enough to complete my table 😄

[royal nacelle]

You're going to be rude to any visitors and force them to play with regular dice, while you have premium dice?

And once extra set won't be enough, we both know that.

[ember ledge]

was thinking of you, johnno, when pondering that

[ember ledge]

and if i am polite, then i end up giving them to others and not using them myself

also not a solution

[royal nacelle]

Yeah, I think we need 4 sets.

[ember ledge]

but but but 👉 👈

💸

[warm thunder]

Trying to figure out how to explain to my wife that I just bought four sets of the same metal dice, hmmm

[royal nacelle]

think the dice might still be plastic, just in a metal tin. What you have to explain is that these look slightly nicer.

[neat mirage]

metal die are usually a terrible idea

tends to be too heavy and can damage furnitures

[royal nacelle]

I think they're a great idea! Coincidentally, want to buy my custom dice tray?

[neat mirage]

lmao

[royal nacelle]

Extra reinforcement, the one sold by MOOD won't be enough.

[neat mirage]

speaking of, I need a dice tray so I might get it this time around

I can't keep using the 421 dice tray forever

it's not very practical

[royal nacelle]

I got the DRG one but have been using my own custom one

[midnight maple]

I was really torn on which expansion to get because I only have enough budget for 1
Ended up going with horrors of hoxxes

The rivals are cool, but with normal caves, I think industrial sabotage would get old rather fast and extra biomes and enemy variety is more exciting for a standalone expansion

[warm thunder]

I mean I don't have a budget for any of this but my greedy dwarven tendancies need it so Rock and Stone YEEEAAAH

[midnight maple]

The responsibilities of being a functional human being are in the way of my reckless joys

[warm thunder]

Sincerely though, one thing I've learned is that we ought to live our lives with happiness. Sometimes that means spending $200 on a board game every year. I don't splurge much but I will happily put in some extra work or liquidate some of my assets for this joy.

If you aren't living your life, then what are you doing anyway? Eh?

[midnight maple]

I want to agree, but my fridge becoming empty for the rest of the month would say otherwise

Oh well, I'll just have to settle for torturing indulging my friends with a double elimination mission with both the old dreadnought and the new twins at the end of deep dives :)

By the way, is there any explanation as to what the jadiz will do?

[ember ledge]

it will make you happy

[warm thunder]

I don't think it has been explained yet. Maybe some kind of bragging rights point system?

[royal nacelle]

There's always 3d printing down the road.

[midnight maple]

True, true

[midnight maple]

A friend suggested to turn it into a race where the first person to mine it gets to make a deez nuts joke

I can already feel the silence and suspense of when a jadiz spot shows up

[keen hamlet]

How much did I miss?
What the heck does (Fixed) mean!?!

[midnight maple]

At least one person will die because of it

[midnight maple]

Where?

[keen hamlet]

For the Add-ons

[midnight maple]

Updated prices in think?

I don't think the rivals tokens were 3 euros before

[royal nacelle]

I've seen so many comments about it, I think it's like McGuffin says and stuff that's been changed. Tokens having wildly inaccurate prices, etc. Not sure if the upgrade packs didn't properly remove the earlier ones when something was tweaked, and now there's a duplicate.

[keen hamlet]

The tokens one seems right, as the $dollar difference for...7 rival tokens going from 24$ to 4$ is silly
No clue on the Upgrade Kit tho

[royal nacelle]

Either way, bit of patience, MOOD have been fixing errors, and I'm sure they'll sort stuff out. As long as you've pledged something you're fine for the coin, anything with your pledge can be changed later. MOOD are very helpful to fix things if need be over email as well.

[warm thunder]

MOOD has been great and very responsive, even if shipping takes a while.

[royal nacelle]

Shipping is shipping, but I've seen them fix countless issues with people's pledges or orders. Or sending out replacements for broken/missing parts and whatnot.

I myself .. cough... had some extra dice sets added long after the campaign had closed.

[midnight maple]

How payments work on kickstarter? If you can change the pledge after you've made it, when does it charge you?

[royal nacelle]

There's a bit about it in the FAQ. I think you're charged after the campaign closes

[midnight maple]

I see!

[royal nacelle]

Altho, don't quote me on that. You can change (and cancel/refund) your pledge up until the campaign closes, and normally they collect funds right after that

And beyond that, last campaign there was some trouble with certain banks, so they collected payment multiple times, giving people time to talk to their banks and fix stuff.

[keen hamlet]

Wasn't it a UK thing and them double charging tarifs?

[royal nacelle]

So if you run into trouble you can contact them and they'll sort things out, so don't worry about missing out if you're low on funds and the money is supposed to be taken when you don't have enough or something. Happened to buncha people

[royal nacelle]

well that too and Norway, but a lot of banks have checks in place that disallow payments to certain countries if you hven't done business with them before and such.

A lot of cards said "nuh uh" when a random payment to Denmark appeared.

Could be an issue if it's your first Kickstarter too, the bank can view it as an unexpected payment

[midnight maple]

You've opened up the horrifying possibility for me to be irresponsible with my money

[royal nacelle]

what're they gonna do if you can't pay, send you to Hoxxes IV?

[midnight maple]

There's a built-in way to do it in discord where you type '-#' before your text, but it doesn't look good on mobile (just looks like faded text) so I went to an external site with a tiny font that's compatible with discord

[bright tartan]

ohh coool

-# blblblblbl

:)

[midnight maple]

I wonder how the caretaker's stl will work considering the whole "two separate parts" thing

[royal nacelle]

You contact MOOD when you print one, and they will sell you a €50 clear plastic tube to connect the two parts. Or you can hire me to model a cylinder.. I'll only charge €35

[midnight maple]

Time to sharpen my plastic straw-cutting skills

[ancient prawn]

I'm coming at this a bit late, but have MOOD stated that they would do the same as during the 2nd campaign where you could pledge 1$ and then upgrade your pledge afterwards in the pledge manager, and it would still count towards the 24hr coin?

[royal nacelle]

Last time around people were being sent the coin even when they only pledged $1, and were charged $35 for shipping or whatever it was.

But I haven't seen it mentioned, specifically no. As far as I'm aware your pledge number doesn't change, so if you pledge now and change your pledge later it should still count for the coin.

[ancient prawn]

Right, I fully intend on going full deluxe again... i just need to buy myself some time to pay down the credit card/appease the better half.

hrm.

[royal nacelle]

Someone just asked for advice regarding their pledge, and kept it at €768.. because their partner plays. I think you need to get your better half into boardgaming.

Then it's no longer "I spent this money"... it's "hey honey we got new gamez!"

[ancient prawn]

yeah

that works great for some people

I -do- see that KS has a "pledge over time" feature, which is actually pretty decent

This is mad confusing though, when you go to the page for confirmation:

Like, I'm pledging for the collectors and now i'm presented with this "fixed" tokens?

[royal nacelle]

Isn't it just the first thing in the list of addons tho?

You can add multiples of a heap of stuff, even if it comes in the bundle

[midnight maple]

New weapon upgrades...?

[royal nacelle]

I'm really starting to lean toward (Fixed) just being a new Kickstarter thing about something that's been changed.

[royal nacelle]

Those were mentioned as tools, in the Rivals expansion.

[midnight maple]

Huh

[plucky furnace]

Is there any way of getting only the STL for the bulk detonator? I really dont want to spend 30 bucks on a duplicate, but painting a crassus version of the detonator and having the reward be "all blown up surfaces ar now minable gold" instead of the normal reward for killing the dude seems like a blast

[midnight maple]

Ooh

[royal nacelle]

You can buy the STLs for $20 I think... or extract from game files for free..

I made my own bulk detonator, before it was released

[plucky furnace]

But I just want only the bulk, not all the other stls as well (also I am smallbrain and have no Idea how to extract files from games)

BY THE WAY! The BET-C is repairable!

[royal nacelle]

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4366139/files Bulk_detonator.obj if you want a quick one.

I made my own but yeah takes some effort

[ancient prawn]

Also, it's not lost on me that it's listed as "Pledge A/B/C/D/E" on the campaign, but 1/2/3/4/5 in the pledge list.

[royal nacelle]

I still haven't painted up the proper one

hype?

[plucky furnace]

Hype indeed

[ancient prawn]

Now i'm just on an internal debate about the card sleeves

I have the sleeves from the previous campaigns

I'm wondering if i should hit the big pile of them again... i'll end up with an overabundance of them though, which is kinda wasteful

[plucky furnace]

12 mission cards, so that means we will be getting another 12 missions per expansion right? Do we think we will be getting an updates combined mission book? incorporating all the mission types and biomes and mixing them?

[urban iron]

They look cool so im getting them

[plucky furnace]

The tin is metal, the dice themselves probably are just custom dice that are plastic

[dawn ibex]

damn half a million already

[ancient prawn]

I did my part

[dawn ibex]

I don't have the space in my board game closet for more

wish the worm expansion was sold seperately

[royal nacelle]

It likely will be. You can pledge €1 and add it in the pledge manager.

Or wait for 'release' in the mood webstore.

[dawn ibex]

Hmm I see, guess thats an option

[plucky furnace]

its an addon, cant you pledge like a dollar and just take worm by itsself

[dawn ibex]

If space wasn't a concern I'd love to get more, but I also have to paint everything and I have like 100+ unpainted minis

[plucky furnace]

by the way, anyone have a picture of the memorial dwarf statue, I want to know how golden my Steeve is going to be

[dawn ibex]

200 when Nemesis: Retaliation gets here

there are only so many aliens I can paint

[plucky furnace]

it is very unhealthy for me that I am also into Warhammer. So my boxes of DRG are currently staying unpainted until I get the balls to start on them

[dawn ibex]

Yea same here

I got a necron combat patrol and cities of sigmar spearhead sitting around

[royal nacelle]

I call it. The Pod Spawner has hereby been renamed the Mover Nexus. (partial credit to @lime jungle )

[royal nacelle]

yellow plastic with a hint of sparkle. You know the LEGO gold?

[plucky furnace]

I got a Necron 2k point army, spacewolves 1k points, and several Kill teams (I have a problem, none of them are fully painted)

[dawn ibex]

Also the Nemesis Retaliation crowdfunding has like 55 minis

and the stretch goals add another equally large number of machine demon things

just too much plastic

[plucky furnace]

Amazing, lego gold is peak gold. Though I might repaint him into a oxidised copper if I feel like it one day

[dawn ibex]

for what its worth, DRG is easy to paint. Simple creature designs, large plastic sculpts

[plucky furnace]

yeyeye, and a very defined artstyle

[royal nacelle]

Tint might be off so don't come after me, but it's what my mind goes to when I think of it. Bit more yellow than that gold I reckon but still, you get the idea.

[plucky furnace]

so flat colours and a generous bath of nuln oil or equivalent and I am set

[dawn ibex]

zenithal + speedpaints if you are really lazy like me

sometimes another wash and a drybrush

[plucky furnace]

Yeyeye, all is fine I wont send management after you

[plucky furnace]

yeyeye, might go black primer, heavy drybrush of white and contrast bath for every surface to get the effect

or maybe a kind of borderlands-esque paint style with deep dark highlights

[dawn ibex]

painted the full Blood Rage boardgame for a friend in just 9 weeks

still mentally recovering from that

[plucky furnace]

holy hell, you are already LEAGUES above what I can get on a mini

[dawn ibex]

some extra saturation in Photoshop to be fair, this is the raw image

but yeah, really proud of the result

shame I couldn't keep them lmao

[dawn ibex]

thats good!!!

[plucky furnace]

Me and my space wolf just chilling here while you are going hard

[dawn ibex]

space wolves are hard cuz grey

but good detail

[plucky furnace]

Though, these are very dark for SW

(Sorry for the non Drg board game talk people, I get hyped talking about my hobbies)

[dawn ibex]

I think the blood rage minis ended up really nice because I could just go wild with the color choices

wasn't using anything in particular for reference

[plucky furnace]

Man I love that big chimp with the fire sword, the OSL came out amazing!

[dawn ibex]

so a lot of contrast just from picking the right colors, without much effort in edge highlighting

Yeah he is everyones favorite I talked to

did try some OSL on the DRG ones too

though the chimp-thing having black skin made it very easy

[plucky furnace]

He takes the number one spot for me as well, close second would be the mountain troll

[plucky furnace]

Looks amazing, what paints do you use? citadel, army painter?

[dawn ibex]

army painter

basically went for both the speed paint and warpaints fanatic 2.0 sets

and some extra individual ones

very liberating to just be able to experiment with a large number of colors

[plucky furnace]

great setup dude, Might look into this when the bank isnt as damaged as it is right now due to, you know, deluxe kickstarter plus goo from above

If you ever feel like sharing the other cool stuff you have hit me up! love seeing the projects others are active with

[dawn ibex]

honestly I think the Blood Rage one was the largest thing I ever painted

I got into the hobby like 10 years ago but I am a very irregular painter

speedpaints are magic and make it so much more rewarding, being able to actually finish a decently large number of minis

having normal acryllic is important for touching up tho

once I finished the essay I need to write I will try to speedrun the DRG main box

[plucky furnace]

yeyeye Speed paints are amazing

If work stops being a pain in the ass I might stop being tired when I come home and actually feel like painting

and i have a deadline for my plague marines kill team so I actually have to start those

[dawn ibex]

understandable

I do have some nurgle boys too

these were done with normal acryllic

I think your detail work on the SM is very compareable to mine

maybe a bit cleaner

[royal nacelle]

with all these miniature pics I feel left out. I think I forgot to show my driller when I posted him on Reddit..

if I may

[dawn ibex]

always

[dawn ibex]

painting is such an important part of the boardgaming hobby honestly

[plucky furnace]

These look so amazing dude! Wait, lemme show my work from a couple nights ago on a nurgling, I was trying out some stuff

[royal nacelle]

I only realised as I posted him on Reddit that he looks like the "shoot him again" cartoon meme

totally unintended

[plucky furnace]

send the meme, I dont think I know this one

also, I absolutely LOVE this custome dude

[dawn ibex]

3d printing looks so fun

[dawn ibex]

another expensive hobby to get into

[royal nacelle]

eh google it xD

[dawn ibex]

the small nurglings always look so silly

that they are cannon is just wild to be

warhammer is so silly

I like the oxidation effect on the armor

[plucky furnace]

I need a nurgling and squigg only killl team

that would be the ultimate goof off fight

[plucky furnace]

THanks! armor is far from done, and actually want him to be darker bronze, but I dont want to strip him of this as I might look back on him all nostalgic and happy

[dawn ibex]

yeah don‘t paint over finished minis

[cloud aurora]

Hurray for the new expansions! Finally

Not sure if I'll pledge now or go for the 1$ for now, is there any price difference? I don't think so with the previous campaigns, but have seen some other kickstarters charge more after the campaign

[royal nacelle]

I don't personally recall.

[cloud aurora]

Also yey for Bet-C, really happy to see

[royal nacelle]

Exclusive though, so be careful

[ornate dock]

I am getting started on my brood nexus, does the osl look good ?

[cloud aurora]

Oh you mean if I pledge later on the pledge manager I won't get it? Damn

[royal nacelle]

you will I think just don't miss pleding 😄

[royal nacelle]

Better than anything I've ever done (cause I've never done OSL). But yes, I think it looks good.

[cloud aurora]

Ah there is no way I won't back the campaign, have done so with the others and I always want the new stuff

[royal nacelle]

since money isn't taken from your account until later I think it's safe to pledge now. There's even a new "pay over time" function I think?

[cloud aurora]

Ah thanks Johnno, it seems I missed that, a lot of new kickstarters have that, nice. Maybe I'll just do that so I don't have to pay everything in pledge manager

And I see that now they offer sleeves for mission cards as well, that's nice

[royal nacelle]

You do you, I can't for 100% say how exactly everything works, I do my best and as best I can tell money isn't taken until campaign closes. I could be wrong tho, so you do you and take responsibility of your own actions please xD

[ornate dock]

you should try it with some scrap minis to really test it, because it is not as hard as it looks

[ornate dock]

also your cryo driller looks really good

i love the highlights on the beard

[royal nacelle]

Thank you!

[royal nacelle]

Nah it's just I've been painting for ages before OSL really became mainstream. I'm used to a specific style. But I really should try it, yes.

[ornate dock]

i think some light osl could fit your style very well, it could make the detail pop even more

[dawn ibex]

I like it!

[cloud aurora]

It's ok, I'm paid more on my newish job so I can manage better

[mint badge]

Yo the new models look awesome

[fiery panther]

what does the "fixed" part mean? they are not even out yet so how can you fix it already? I am so confused

[ornate dock]

thank you !

I really love the new expansions, I've already backed them already, the only thing that I think is a missed occasion would be a robot swarm card, so you get to see them outside industrial sabotage, but other than that I am baffled by the amount of content we got

[tardy merlin]

I think I saw sometime earlier say that the tokens were priced at €20 when instead they should be €3. Jeanne from MOOD replied to one of the comments on KS to say so.

[royal nacelle]

we think it might be about errors they had to fix.

Also I saw someone comment that for them only the (fixed) upgrade packs show up in addons, not the others, so same thing there just that the previous ones haven't been removed

[tacit yew]

im kinda confused by this

why did they add another upgrade system

[royal nacelle]

About what?

[tacit yew]

i think they should have just added those abilities as pickaxe/helmet/armor upgrades instead of making a whole new thing for them

[royal nacelle]

And how would someone who doesn't have spacerig expansion use those?

As explained the point is specifically to make it unique. And not part of a different expansion.

[tacit yew]

where are they going to fit on the player boards though?

they look to be the same size as a weapon upgrade

[royal nacelle]

Where do they need to fit in? Where do throwables fit into your player board?

Wait and see. I don't understand this negativity or thinking they should do something different, before we even know how stuff works.

[fiery panther]

alright, so if I go for the collectors bundle, should I interact with that yes or no?

[royal nacelle]

If you get collector's bundle nearly everything is included.

The plastic tokens show up as an add-on if you want extras, beyond the ones you're getting. You can get multiple of everything you get.

but the tokens are included in the collector's pledge

Depends if you want double up on tokens.

The reward page lists what you get for each different pledge, and what the add-ons are.

[fiery panther]

aight, thank you!

kinda debating if I want more rn ngl

[royal nacelle]

I'm still debating just getting an extra standard edition, for more event cards xD

[fiery panther]

pffff-

[tacit yew]

if i have to pick between one of the two main expansions im definitely getting horrors of hoxxes

i feel like its just better

[royal nacelle]

Do you have to pick though?

[tacit yew]

not sure yet

ill probably do what i did last time and pledge $1 now and then buy my full pledge on the final day

(i think ill be able to get both though)

i think its great that they made a new neoprene mat, i was going to buy one anyways and now i get a better one

[royal nacelle]

It's not likely "better".

From what I saw from MOODs response it's just different graphics, for variety, and not "different".

[tacit yew]

well thats still great

it means i can pick between two designs

does the neoprene mat fit in the box though?

[royal nacelle]

No, not at all whatsoever.

Rolled up it's twice as long as the box is wide.

Unless you fold it in half and .. no. No it doesn't fit.

[ancient prawn]

what's the 2024 "promo card" that people keep referencing in the comments?

[tacit yew]

its a beer card for the space rig called Glyphid Brew

its on BGG

[royal nacelle]

Was handed out at some Con in 2024.

[tacit yew]

i really want it too

[ancient prawn]

I see

I was wondering, since I went back to the other campaign and didn't see anything about it.

[ember cobalt]

I have a question about the newest board game expansions on Kickstarter, if I buy the expansions, will they come with cardboard standees or will all the new enemies like the caretaker be plastic minis?

Because I want to know if I'll need to buy the expansion with the stls if I want the minis on Kickstarter

[royal nacelle]

Everything is minis.

[royal nacelle]

No, the STLs are extra if you want to print additional minis.

[ember cobalt]

Ok, great, so I can just buy the bundles if I want all the new expansion minis? Great

[royal nacelle]

There are no standee expansions.

[royal nacelle]

There are no standee expansions, everything is minis. The only standees that exist are the base standard game.

Hope that helps!

[ember cobalt]

Well, that's good news, thank you @royal nacelle, I was afraid I'd have to pay almost 200 more dollars Just to get proper minis

[royal nacelle]

Nope everything that's shown as minis comes as minis, and disclaimer it's still an ongoing Kickstarter campaign so things may change but yeah should be minis for the 3d models you see.

And if something you see isn't a miniature, I'm available for commission work to turn your dreams into lovely miniatures for 3d printing.

[ember cobalt]

Thanks mate, I appreciate it

[upbeat oasis]

What is the turret controller token for?

[royal nacelle]

The turret controller.

[upbeat oasis]

My head just exploded

[royal nacelle]

there was a preview of it in one of the trailers

I think a lot of people mightve missed the new trailer

[upbeat oasis]

There's a new one?

[royal nacelle]

49 seconds vs 16 seconds from earlier, or somesuch

yeah a long one

nearly minute

I blasting Pika Girl, else I'd look it up for you

[upbeat oasis]

Oh yeah I assumed it was the same one on the kickstarter page

It's a lot longer

Thanks for letting me know

[royal nacelle]

has some cool stuff in it

[lyric sapphire]

Anyone have any theories on what the new mat could add?

[spiral belfry]

A spot for the grenade cards maybe

[tacit yew]

i always just put the grenades under molly

and i dont think there would be room for any additions

[spiral belfry]

I put it on the logo, personally

[tacit yew]

if i pay $1 for the coin with one payment method can i change payment methods to buy the full game

[north tusk]

I have a question, how long will I have to back the campaign before it closes? I see that you get the metal coin of you pledge in the first 24 hours, so does that mean it will close after that or you just won't get the coin?

[fierce totem]

Usually about a month

[urban iron]

I put the grenades back into the tray (which you get with the deluxe main game) and i put open resupply cards on the logo

Well i did the full pledge

[plucky furnace]

It is shown quite visible on the top of the project page. The 24 hours is just for the coin, if you dont want it you still have 28 days to go!

[outer totem]

is the Drg broad game ever going to go into retail stores?

[plucky furnace]

Retail stores I wouldnt know, but the board game is purchaseable from the MOODpublishing store front online!

https://moodpublishing.com/collections/deep-rock-galactic

Some should still be available, as well as some expansions I think depending on where you are located

[scarlet sierra]

Why did i see the overloading magma worm in one of the new expansions?

[fiery panther]

I was like "HOLY SHIT THIS ONE IS POPPING OFF DAMN!" but then realised that one is 200K, the other 20K

[lime jungle]

I've seen the Standard Edition in a store a handful of times. It's a treat finding it in the wild

Never seen the Deluxe, nor any of the expansions however

[lime jungle]

I slip them under my sleeve so I get a sneaky advantage for later

This fun trick also works great for casino games

[waxen mauve]

hello, im owner of the 1. deluxe edtion + all the add ons. so far ive sadly only played the base game. I want now to to purchase the Pledge 4: Collector's Bundle. Ive read some comments bout wrong cardbacks in the past edition(second one)? I kinda lost the overview. what would you suggest me to order beside the pledge 4? do i need additional card sleeves for example? Do i need the upgrade Kit: deluxe(fixed)? would be glad if someone could help me out 😄

[violet musk]

just found out there was an Essen Spiel exclusive card, my collection wont be complete...

[plucky furnace]

Bruh

[ornate dock]

Godamn

[ornate dock]

I managed to finish my brood nexus, thought’ill share

[kindred gale]

Will I still get a coin if a edit my pledge after 24h?

[ember ledge]

edit -> yes
cancel -> no

Also:

Can I change my pledge?
Yes, you can change your pledge here on KS before the campaign ends or you can change it in the pledge manager after the campaign. In the pledge manager you can only upgrade your pledge. You can also add extra add ons over there.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/moodpublishing/deep-rock-galactic-rivals-and-horrors-of-hoxxes/faqs

[thin vigil]

between that and the KS exclusive stuff this time around, i'm left a bit cranky about this one; variants and non-gameplay stuff is great for exclusivity, actual gameplay being exclusive is terrible practice

[ember ledge]

i do see the point of that. But in the end: Most people, who care, will be getting it through kickstarter

i do agree on something requested in the comments: make it available for all in the long run, as there is no exklusivity needed for that

[thin vigil]

the incorrect card backs were on some of the RnS cards from the expansions, they were missing little bolts in the corners, they sent out a survey if you wanted replacements ages ago, so you've missed out on that, but it doesn't really make that big a difference; if you have everything from the first two kickstarters, you only need pledge 4, and sleeves, the small size sleeves are new so you'll need those anyway, and maybe some for the new cards depending on how many sleeves you had left over last time; if you got the second kickstarter, you already have the upgrade kit

[wooden widget]

Love the color scheme

[thin vigil]

(they really need to add information about just what you need and what you don't depending on what you backed before, it's pretty confusing at the moment)

[ember ledge]

if you didn't back the last campaign (Space Rig & Biome Exp), then you wouldn't have the upgrade kits and would need to consider one of those (depending on the edition of your base game)

but they are not mandatory. It is just nice to have updated manuals and the creature cards (The base game had them as a big overview sheet instead of individual cards / creature iirc)

the rest is just options to buy stuff you might have missed or not bought the last campaign(s) (acrylic tokens, [...])

[thin vigil]

no, i know that, i was just clarifying for someone 🙂

[lime jungle]

I know the feeling 😔

[thin vigil]

and, yeah, i don't mind paying money for previously free gifts, or there being inconcequential stuff like the coins or gold minis that are forever exclusive, it's just gameplay stuff

[violet musk]

huh, i didnt know that happened

[thin vigil]

and this isn't thatbad compared to some i've seen, where i've come late to something only to discover that half of it was KS exclusive and no longer available

[violet musk]

well damn, turns out project update 24 went to my trash mail folder automatically

the update about the mismatched cards form

[thin vigil]

i think i filled that in, but honestly can't remember

[violet musk]

I guess ill send an email, but i dont think ill be getting those fixed cards

[thin vigil]

can't hurt, worst they can do is say no

[median ice]

I LOVE that color palette

[ornate dock]

thank you ! I know that my minis painting skills still are not the best but the advices you told be helped me so much

[ornate dock]

thnak you very much !

[ornate dock]

i still remember that stingtail you painted, it looked so cool !

[midnight maple]

Cool idea for the rivals' stls: make the connecting piece of the caretaker pyramid to its base the data rack that you can remove and take after you beat the caretaker

[dawn ibex]

seconding what he said, super aesthetic

I saw you were going for a similair look with your other minis, should be really great when finished

[ornate dock]

appreciate it ! I am hard at work since I have a lot of free time currently. You're mini painting skill are awesome too

[gleaming dune]

Dang, never heard anything about this. 😭

On a more positive note... Dang, that Shockwyrm looks cool! That's a boardgame enemy I'd love to see ingame

[urban iron]

Same

[gleaming dune]

OH, the cardback change was between 1st and second editions. Guess it doesn't matter for me anyway

[pulsar flower]

Hey yall - I'm not seeing any stls on the Mood site or in the pins; any idea whether it's possible to buy them anywhere other than during a kickstarter?

[royal nacelle]

You can contact MOOD directly at [e-mail]

I think the STLs are still up on Backerkit but I'm not sure how fast you'd get them from there since they're busy with the new Kickstarter

[pulsar flower]

Thanks! Took me a minute - didn't find them in the base game Backerkit page, looks like they're all in the BKit pages for the expansions. Good to know I'm not shooting myself in the foot if I don't snag them all now 👌

[cloud aurora]

Hey guys, someone in the kickstarter comments reminded me of the cards mismatch from 2nd edition and mood providing us with a solution through a survey about sending replacements

Has anyone received them? I recall they were going to do it eventually

[keen hamlet]

I missed the updates 2-3 months ago and missed my chance to get added into that list, and they didn't respond to my question on this KS about possibly adding it.

[royal nacelle]

They're said before that you can email them, that they have spares they can send out.

[keen hamlet]

Oh sweet!,
Just ask support about the corrected card backs?

[royal nacelle]

yup

[midnight maple]

The bug cooker is going to be so fun

[midnight maple]

What weapon upgrades would be good on it?

Stun is a must I think

[royal nacelle]

AP die and explosive die.

[midnight maple]

Those are good on every weapon

I meant especially effective on this gun

I guess the one that lets you use ammo of any type would also be nice

To conserve primary ammo

[royal nacelle]

I suppose, you'd have a very limited number of shots though. I'd rather add upgrades that make each ammo spent count more, as per usual.

[spiral belfry]

The stun upgrade seems useful with 4 dice

[upbeat terrace]

I promised myself that I wouldn’t dump any more money into this game…but man…that Horrors of Hoxxes expansion is looking mighty tasty.

[midnight maple]

I guess. I just prefer to give those upgrades to low damage weapons since they tend to have some up side stapled to then (subata, zhukovs, lok-1, ect.)

[royal nacelle]

Sure but that depends entirely on what weapons are being used, who's where, what upgrades have already been found, etc etc etc.

[midnight maple]

Of course, but I think that it gets more value from more niche upgrades like interchangeable ammo and extra range, that (at least in my play group) are considered less strong and ofter get taken just to get exchanged in deep dives

[royal nacelle]

There are several weapons I'd put either of those on rather than the Bugcooker.

[keen hamlet]

6 dice monster, for 2 different ammo hehehe

The grenade seems neat, more so with the new dig sites or whatever they are called.
Kinda like a different kind of flare, imagining a driller just doing 8 pickaxe damage in two actions, ignoring resist, just cus.

[midnight maple]

I think the grenade opens up the possibility for a melee only dreadnought kill

Just requires a lot of luck, and a lot of guts

[vale spindle]

Just seen the FAQ on the upgrade kits, so does this mean if I backed the initial campaign & have the first ed, and the last campaign, I dont need to pick up the upgrade kit as I remember the edited cards & rule book being provided in the second campaign or is this a totally new upgraded set do we know?

[royal nacelle]

It's the same upgrade kit. If you got it from the previous campaign you won't need it.

Unless you want double up

[vale spindle]

Ah cool thanks Johnno, I thought that was the case, just found the email wording a little confusing. - also long time no see, I have been quite quiet. Finally gotten around to beginning to paint the last expansions 🤣

Starting with the meatball I mean Ommeran

[smoky scaffold]

What is green sphere, couldn't find anything in the small cave segment part of the manual?

[royal nacelle]

Tunnel exit

Spawns creatures whenever a card says "all exits" or "nearest exit" etc

[midnight maple]

Nasty

[royal nacelle]

I spotted one on the glittery cave wall tiles too

[midnight maple]

Yeah. I really like how it spices up one of the most basic things in the game

[midnight maple]

I suppose you just shuffle them in with the normal wall tiles

Also we forgot about the ignore resistances weapon upgrade

The bug cooker might be one of the best guns for it honestly

[royal nacelle]

Nah. Minigun.

[midnight maple]

Mark the words 'one of'

Minigun is the best, no questions asked

[royal nacelle]

It's still just range 3/5 with a green and yellow die per ammo. Plenty of weapons out there that could put it to just as good use. Anything with green/yellow dice, the Breach Cutter, etc.

You're affecting a lot of dice in one shot sure, but once you break it down to dice per ammo it's not necessarily groundbreaking. And once you consider AoE or piercing weapons.. eh.

All in all it seems fairly balanced to me.

[midnight maple]

Considering bullet and fire damage are the two most common damage resistance types, I still think it would be far better on it

[royal nacelle]

Not necessarily when you consider the ammo cost, you're less likely to end up using it that often. Plus you're less likely to hit with them as well. Flame dice are the bane of my existence.

I'd likely stick it on the DRAK25, or GK2, if I was playing Scout.

[midnight maple]

Why? almost no enemy is resistant to pierce

[royal nacelle]

The enemies that are are more often a higher priority to kill, and the enemies that're resistance to bullet/flame I'd take out with the AP anyway.

[midnight maple]

Also on the topic of scout primaries, is the m1000 ever useful?

[royal nacelle]

Sure, just requires a different playstyle than the others.

And Drak25 requires more planning

[midnight maple]

I'll try it some time then

The drak feels more powerful than the other primaries because it deals the most damage per ammo per action and the reduced range is less of an issue with the scout's lightfooted passive

I only ever jam it as a hail merry when fighting stuff like an oppressor/praetorian that's already close to dead

[midnight maple]

By that logic just stick it on something like the flamethrower to delete the big problems

[royal nacelle]

And by that logic I consistently have to play the Driller?

[midnight maple]

Fair point

[royal nacelle]

As I said earlier, always depends on what classes are playing, where the Dwarves are, who finds the upgrade, which weapons everyone is using.. more often than not from my experience the Dwarf that finds the upgrade usually uses it, unless they already have multiple.

[midnight maple]

You play with a "finders keepers" rule?

[royal nacelle]

No, but I'm not going to hold off on adding an upgrade I can put to use just because some other dwarf halfway across the map might be able to put it to 5% better use. I'd rather be fair so that if I've already gotten an upgrade I might give one to someone else, but just the same Scout often ends up with multiple because he's moving about.

[midnight maple]

That's lame

One of my fondest memories from the game is opening a cave with an upgrade I didn't need, so the gunner and driller raced across the map to get it

The driller used the flamethrower to block the entrance to the cave segment after him and the gunner used ziplines to bypass the fire and take the upgrade

[opal gust]

I haven't gotten the drg board game yet (I really want it tho lol)... but the idea of kickstarter exclusive gameplay (specifically the bet-c and glittery cave walls) are really making me less interested 😭 (sorry, I'm a huge board game fan but this is one very specific pet peeve of mine)

[ancient prawn]

totally agree with you, but so many other BG companies do the same, that they can't not do it.

FOMO rules the gamespace right now

it sucks, but it's the truth.

[opal gust]

yeahhhh, like.... I don't mind the idea of kickstarter exclusive

• fancier pieces
• alternate art
• bonus merch
• literally anything that doesn't lock off gameplay mechanics

or even selling the extra content at a higher "you missed the kickstarter" price

I don't get why companies never do that last one tbh, like I'd totally buy an expansion at a higher price just because I didn't back the kickstarter tbh

[royal nacelle]

They already do, the prices have gone up a lot since the first campaign. And the Kickstarter prices are always discounted.

[opal gust]

it says bet-c will never be available for sale tho

and the glittering walls

[royal nacelle]

Yep they're going to be exclusive.

[opal gust]

that sort of thing just makes me not want the game in the first place, since my brain won't like that I can't "get all of it"

[royal nacelle]

It's seemingly impossible for them to please everyone, the whole reason they removed stretch goals was due to all complaints during the last campaign. Now we're getting free stuff (consider that BET-C would've cost another additional €25 or 30) and people still complain.

[royal nacelle]

But.. you quite literally can get everything right now. You're arguing over an idealistic point that doesn't affect you. Go grab the all in €600 pledge.

[opal gust]

I am not in a situation where I can do that at the moment

[royal nacelle]

MOOD are not likely to change anything in the campaign, or add anything extra like people keep asking. There's been wishes and wants during each campaign and they haven't budged.

Beyond which they're trying to cut down on the time to delivery, anything new would take time to design, prototype, etc etc.

[opal gust]

yeah I know, just sad about it

[royal nacelle]

And you can proxy the gameplay elements you might miss, if anything is exclusive. I'm really the wrong person to complain to, considering just how much extra stuff I've done for the board game.

[opal gust]

I wasn't complaining to you specfically lol

[kindred gale]

Did previous campains had any kickstarter exclusives exept for tge coins?

[tardy merlin]

Beer mug event marker for the first and memorial hall mini for the second afaik

[midnight maple]

I agree that making them KS exclusive is a little annoying, but it's not the end of the world. I don't think the glittering walls for random rewards/dangers and bet c for a chance to get a walking turret add all that much to the game

It is fomo, but it's not like the game is unplayable without them. Not even close to that

[formal pier]

It is still quite anti-consumer to create a timed exclusivity for gameplay mechanics within a game.

[royal nacelle]

Think it's a moot point, currently the campaign only has 3% new 'customers', and exceedingly few will buy everything if they haven't followed the game for the past 3 years.

Matters little if you can or can't get one specific card or enemy, there's so much in the game that 75% of people who pledged for the first campaign haven't returned.

Each new campaign effectively halves the number of customers, due to the game's size. The more that's added the more people feel that they have enough.

[midnight maple]

I can agree with that. Pretty much the exact reason I won't bother with any mini expansion ever

[formal pier]

Well people might buy these products in many years time -- they may not be able to purchase now, and some people might discover these games after the fact.

I wouldn't agree that it's moot as it sets a precedent for companies creating their own curated supply and demand. Following the logic of "the more added the more people feel there is enough" you could apply the same to video games. Gaming studios get enough flak when they create timed cosmetic exclusives; the only reason they don't do the same for gameplay changes is that the video-gaming audience would kick up too much of a fuss -- so for that reason alone I think it's worth discussion and definitely not moot.

[royal nacelle]

I think you're exaggerating the amount of gameplay there is from a single brew card, and BET-C. Especially so when we can create said things after the fact as we please. We can comparatively easily make new things if we wish, far easier than in video games, and even there people do all sorts of mods and whatnot.

[gentle pine]

Y'all. I really want to back the Kickstarter and go all in. I don't want any of the extra art or toys though.

Is the All-In Collector's Pledge still the best deal?

I just want all the gameplay with the most premium components. Miniatures, acrylics, etc.

[ancient prawn]

It is, even if you don't want the art or coasters or toys

[gentle pine]

Dang

[ancient prawn]

it just is what it is... the bigger the bundle, the better the discount, you know?

[ornate dock]

Does anyone has any homebrew rules to make the game a big harder ? I want to add more tension to it

[crisp echo]

Draw two event cards per turn? 🤷‍♂️

[gentle pine]

Makes sense, it's a bigger drop of cash too

[ancient prawn]

Yeah, though, I was particularly happy to see kickstarter putting a feature where you can pay over the course of installments

my 300$ CAD purchase, instead of being in 1 hit, will be over the span of 3 months, so i'm not going to feel it as much, at 100$ per month.

[gentle pine]

I didn't about that. That's a cool feature

[dark roost]

Rock and stone!!!

[gentle pine]

It's purely co-op, just like the videogame?

[ember ledge]

yes. up to 4 characters that fight together against the board and time (rounds)

[spiral belfry]

My favorite part of the game is the solo mode. Just like the video game I get my money's worth by playing in my free time

[ember ledge]

yeah, you can play solo as one character or solo as 2-4 characters

[spiral belfry]

The game has been very well reviewed by more casual gamers, which is great because I like the complex action economy of the game, and other people like rolling dice and killing bugs, lol

[empty spindle]

does anybody know if you can just get the miniatures cause i just wanna paint them i think there so cute

lil sad theres no golden loot bug in the packs

[scarlet narwhal]

outside of just buying the deluxe version of the game, you could buy the STL files and 3d print them yourself or maybe commission someone to print them for you. The base game STL files include a lootbug mini btw!

[empty spindle]

ooooo ok thank you

[warm thunder]

Been a minute, finally got some time to continue painting. Oppressor was trickier than I thought he'd be but I am happy with the end result.

[gleaming dune]

Crud. I forgot Kickstarter won't allow me to use Discover for overseas campaigns 😭

[royal nacelle]

Assuming you can add everything individually in the pledge manager you'd end up paying nearly the same as the ALL IN bundle. You'd miss out on two neoprene mats, set of premium dice, acrylic tokens for all expansions, for €40 or something. Even just the extra dice are really handy, and a neoprene mat as backup..

Actually, two sets of extra dice, since the classic addon bundle comes with the regular dice.

[tacit yew]

in the ommoran heartstone card "surrounded" it says "advance the swarm threat marker 1 space. trigger a swarm event if it lands on a blank space." that means if you land on a swarm space a swarm is not triggered right?

sorry if this has been asked before

[royal nacelle]

Swarm spaces trigger swarms.

[tacit yew]

okay

[royal nacelle]

Card says "even if". Not "only if".

[tacit yew]

it should have just said "trigger a swarm no matter what it lands on"

[royal nacelle]

Even if means previous rules apply and it's additional.

[royal nacelle]

That's what it says with the "even if" wording.

[tacit yew]

the card doesnt say even if

unless you mean this is an unwritten rule for all cards

[royal nacelle]

In TTS it does, but yea on the physical card it says event. Either way, it doesn't change the rules.

[midnight maple]

I just noticed something. The bug cooker doesn't have the "extra ammo slots" on its overclocked form

This one

I wonder if that's intentional

[royal nacelle]

Intentional in a graphics design choice of way likely, since it doesn't have space. That or it's still WIP.

[midnight maple]

Question on aoe attacks and big enemies: if I use an aoe attack like the epc on an enemy that takes up multiple tiles, does it take the damage only once or once for every effected tile it's standing on?

[royal nacelle]

Only once, written on the oppressor's rules.

[stiff rivet]

talking about that what's the ressource needed for the new weapon ?

[urban iron]

I think it shows primary and secondary ammo

not sure though

[midnight maple]

Yeah one of each

[stiff rivet]

noice idea

[wise flint]

So ignoring the fact I’m running out of space here

Glittery cave walls. When it says these are backer exclusive, is this like an entire ass mechanic that’s only for backers

Still getting it, but not really cool :/

I do appreciate they’re selling first edition upgrade kits tho, that’s enough that I’ll look past it this time

hope they don’t mess up the hidden cave segment back this time

Result of there being so much whinging about the stretch goals. Now we get backer exclusive stuff instead since stretch goals weren't enough.

[royal nacelle]

There's a blurb about it in the Risks and challenges section on the main campaign page

[wise flint]

eh, I didn’t really mind that the stretch goals weren’t much of a stretch personally, but that’s life

[wise flint]

Oh good to know, thanks

[urban iron]

I love it, little reward for backing

[wise flint]

Yeah there was definitely a bit of quality mismatch in the last set, honestly would get a replacement for it if I could

the korlok tile specifically anyway. The rest is fine

[royal nacelle]

I've spotted a mention of a fix but I'd have to go dig it out

[formal pier]

Pointing out anti-consumer business practices ≠ "whinging"

[royal nacelle]

Calling it "anti-consumer" is indeed whinging.

[formal pier]

You're such a brown-nose, man.

[royal nacelle]

Feel free to take it up with MOOD on the Kickstarter comments, and keep this place friendly and light. I'm fed up with the bitching and moaning spilling over here.

None of us here can do anything about it. We all have our own opinions. Things are not going to change no matter what we say here. Take it up with MOOD in the appropriate place.

[wise flint]

Even if there is a fix, it’s the kind of fix that’s likely to cost 35$ plus shipping unless they’re offering trade-ins

[royal nacelle]

Likely they'll send it with pledges, and separately at some point to those that didn't pledge this campaign. Figure they'll be producing them at the same time.

[wise flint]

Oh, that’s perfect if that’s what happens

[royal nacelle]

They've already mentioned sending out packs of cards free of charge to those that wanted them. Not sure if that's underwy or if that too will be produced with this next run

[formal pier]

I have brought it up on Mood's Kickstarer, as have many others. This is an official Discord, and it's clearly a contentious enough issue for multiple people to bring it up. It's in topic and isn't in invalid topic just because you dislike it.

[wise flint]

Yeah, i would appreciate not having to actively ignore the card backs

Glad they’re fixing the quality issues

[royal nacelle]

This is not MOOD's Discord. This is the DRG video game discord, and the devs here kindly made a channel for the board game fans to use. There's no direct contact to MOOD here.

[wise flint]

and if we’re talking about the backer exclusive parts, I think “replacements” is also a pretty major concern there

either way, back to work for me so I can afford board games

[urban iron]

I love it, little reward for backi

[formal pier]

Yes, I understand that but it's still a DRG property. I would not be surprised if MOOD's team are in this server and even if they're not it is still a channel for said product. Here is absolutely a valid place to discuss this as anywhere.

[neat mirage]

as long as you keep it friendly

[wise flint]

Are the rulebooks out yet?

[royal nacelle]

Not on BGG and haven't seen mention of them yet

[wise flint]

Shame, would like to look over them before putting my money down

[royal nacelle]

You didn't do a €1 pledge for the 24h coin?

[wise flint]

I learned about it today

[royal nacelle]

ah shame

well worst case could throw in €1 and then add stuff in the pledge manager, or even late pledge, but I think late pledge prices go up a bit. The campaign is discounted quite heavily.

[wise flint]

Which could also lead into the whole “timed exclusive” discussion but I don’t want to cause it’s early. I don’t have any of the other kickstarter exclusives anyway due to money/time/simply didn’t care for em

Yeah, probably will anyway, just not as ideal for me

I trust em enough

[royal nacelle]

Could pledge for the bare minimum that allows you to get the exclusives.

And get the rest later.

[wise flint]

I mean, I guess I could have but again I just didn’t really want any of those

The timed exclusive sale is something I’m more interested in on this one :p

[royal nacelle]

I meant this one 🙂

Then again, did help chase down a coin recently

[midnight maple]

Tbh I'm more interested in the error cube than the bet c on the rivals' pledge

[midnight maple]

Yeah. It's cool

[upbeat oasis]

Does it have a function outside of tracking swarms?
It's completely cool if it doesn't I just couldn't tell
