Completed Arcadia Quest by CMON

[ced1106]

Hmm. At 300K:

* 90 tokens

* 49 mini's

 

Is that right? Anyway, the bits and mini's look like they can be used in other games. Super Dungeon Explore will have a KS soon for its standalone / reboot, so mebbe you'll have better luck there.

 

I know Eric Lang is an established games designer, although I haven't played his Ameritrash games. The other designers haven't made games previously before.

 

See what you can find on BGG:

I backed this early but am having a hard time keeping excited by it.  The game play video reminded me why there are several games in the closet that will not get played again.  I'm not a fan of lots of bookkeepping or lots of pieces and cards that can get knocked around. 

 

Hello all BTW, it has been a long time since I've been well enough to participate. Who knew tha lungs could be so important?

Glad to have you (and your lungs) back!

 

Took the $$$ I was *going* to put into this and went to Demigods Rising instead.  Love the Arcadia minis but not buying the whole game (which looks incredibly lackluster imho).

Good to have you back and posting Niranth!

Man. I would love to just have some of those minis.

I think one of the commenters made a very good point on BGG; the base pledge is the best deal, so get that and ignore the add-ons, which you can pick up at retail later.

 

I decided to back at the Guildmaster level just for the minis.  They look like a fun challenge to paint, and they have a Nicol Williamson-style Merlin!

Project Update #52: A note on Paypal/late backing - how to do it and availability
Posted by CoolMiniOrNot ♥ Like 
A lot of you have written in to ask whether we'll allow backing via Paypal.

The answer is yes - there's no need to pledge $1 to the Kickstarter campaign, although we recommend you do so in order to receive updates on Arcadia Quest through Kickstarter.

We'll have a link after the campaign is over to allow you to secure a Guildmaster pledge via Paypal without optional items, which you will be able to add via the pledge manager as normal when the pledge manager is released.

HOWEVER, availability of Paypal pledges will be limited to ensure we don't over extend the number of promos we need to make as this will affect the delivery schedule. We will announce the Paypal pledge link shortly before the campaign ends.

interesting titbit in the comments from CMON

The will probably only be 200 or so slots to jump into post campaign for those backing late (not sure it this includes $1 backers from the campaign)

so if  this is you  make sure you do the paypal thing as soon CMON release the details as it make be a case of you snooze, you loose

As mentioned before, we read all comments, and some ideas we'll be incorporating in the product line down the road. However, 2 months is not a lot of time to get a physical product designed (production MUST begin by 1st June at the very latest), and we are already pushing the red line with Beyond the Grave coming forward (new tiles, new cards, new figures are all there). We appreciate your support, and would prefer to repay that support by delivering on schedule. Suggestions at this point are divided into two general camps: 1. Interesting ideas that we'll study more - e.g. 5-6 player campaigns, variously themed expansions, Hero packs etc. 2. Ideas that don't work in the context of this game (i.e. changing the game to something it's not) - "official" solo rules for example. Stuff in category 1 are things we'll be looking hard at, but can't possibly turn around by June, which is when everything must enter production to reach us in time for a September shipment. This includes things like new tiles (what's the point of a cosmetic reskin without playtested rules?). For those of you asking for more stuff, unfortunately we'll have to disappoint - this is as far as we can go for a $100 campaign which has a ton of components and exclusive heroes (which = molds we are never using again). If any backer feels this is "lame" and they deserve more stuff, now is their chance to back out with no hard feelings. To everyone left, thank you for your support and we look forward to bringing great things to the world of Arcadia Quest in future!

so they're clearly tightening up their campaigns (possibly even more so than with Wrath of Kings) to try and hit their ship dates

this is the final graphic of what you get (64 minis if I count right)

and possible add ons

only 4 hours to go so if you want to KS get pledging

26 Kickstarter exclusives? Seriously?

 

Couldn't afford to back this in the end, and now they've killed any possibility of me picking it up at retail.

[TSgt Keats]

I dropped my pledge because I feel they kill the future of their own games with all these exclusives. I liked a lot of the minis but in the end I left it for the completionists and scalpers. Shouldn't have more exclusives than base game content in my opinion.

[Doramos]

I can see doing exclusive poses but if it's a part of a game they shouldn't do exclusive mini's. That killed me with zombicide.

All the Zombicide exclusives are free downloads.

[Doramos]

yeah, the rules for them are online, but they don't offer a mini for them. At least, they didn't the last time I checked. I've been looking for some mini's to proxie most of them.

[brushforhire]

I am a sucker and got in because I wanted some of the exclusives. I could care less about the game.

[brushforhire]

Sorry double post.

Debated getting it until the end- didn't bite. I think I'll just get the base game for cheap later on.
