Fulfilling Greenbrier Games Folklore - the Affliction

[lexomatic]

That's a shame about prior history.

I love those minis. Especially the trees.

Greenbriar has shipped multiple projects, just for clarity....

 

There are just some still pending.

Not sure I can wiggle another $100 out of my wife for another game (after Dungeon Saga, Conan, Blood Rage, Zombicide and Gloomhaven ...) ... Did they say anything about a "miniatures only" pledge?

Would indeed very, very, very nice to have a $1 pledge that gives access to the Pledge Manager and add-ons.

 

I'd pick an "Alternate Color Kickstarter Exclusive Pack" for $40 .. without a shadow of a doubt ..

I've been hemming and hawing on this one since Greenbrier sent me an email about it (I backed Zpocalypse), it looks neat, and the game will probably be fun, but is it worth that much money?

[Lidless Eye]

This looks pretty cool, it gives off a classic Castlevania vibe.

I'm looking through their prior kickstarters and the comment sections have complaints about lack of communication. Their other projects are not delivered either. I'll keep a look out, but I'm not sure.

 

Out of the 8 successful Kickstarter projects, 4 are outstanding. (Noted Delivery dates of Jul 2015, Oct 2015, Nov 2015, Jun 2016) The Jul 2015 wave one items have been shipped and received, wave 2 slated for later this year. From the updates all other projects seem to be on track for noted delivery. The other 4 projects have all been shipped and received. Just want to clarify any misconceptions.

They have 8 projects? Their profile only shows 4.

They changed KS account; here's the old one:

Thanks!

Anyone who backed prior stuff by them (or just happens to own prior stuff by them) can comment on the material of the miniatures? I am a huge fan of reaper bones material. I pretty much can't stand the resin of warhammer stuff (chips/breaks WAY too easily). Trying to figure out how their stuff compares.

 

Agree with others $1 buy-in and $40 for miniatures might be more reasonable. I have a friend who's already backed, so could potentially get them to get me that add-on, but don't want a ton of miniatures in a really tough material.

[Talae]

Zpocalypse is not the same as Bones, but not fragile. Something between Bones and green Army Men. The scale is not quite right for 28-32mm either, but I enjoy the game.

 

As I understand it, their later games are a different material, though.

I've got the "sacred 40". I'm very happy with the details, but the miniatures are 33-35mm which is a noticable size difference if you want D&D miniatures.

 

I managed to smash my archer in a case that was too small. I simply bent his arrow straight again and haven't had any problems (or noticable stress lines). I've dropped them, but they haven't been stepped on yet.

[Findariel]

Hard to tell how much fun the game will be, even with a bunch of game reviews.

 

I won't mind investing a few 100 $ in a very much fun and pretty game .. but taking the risk that it turns out to be not that good is very tough ..

[Knight of the Dinner Table]

Watching and reading ... I'm almost convinced to get the game. If they put in a couple of more nice minis, will save will be very, very hard.
