Chronoscope is going to be the first thing I grab when the PM goes live. I wailed and moaned that Reaper needed to put some focus into Chronoscope and dwarfed if they didn't give it the old college try. It's far from perfect (Looking at you, Santa. All I want for Christmas is for you to be an old car.), but they put forth the effort this time an I find that encouraging. I will express that by giving them my money for it first.

 

Santa, the Chronscope equivlant of the dino men in Damiyo expansion. :lol:

 

@OddMoominOut Giants in the latest edition of D&D (5e) are Huge size. I'm not sure on Path2e.

Oh, there we go! Pulp Santa in an old car filled with presents!

The Zombies and trailer from the Chronoscope set.

They are going to be releasing some rules for a zombie-cide type game.

 

They are doing a "power up" for Chronoscope in the pledge manager, with some scatter terrain (largely targeted at the zombie trailer park portion).  No details on if these are added to the Chronoscope $50 expansion, or if this will be a separate add-on (like the Brinewind extras?)

I missed the first half of the show, so they showed stuff I didn't see.  They apparently showed many of the Sophie mini's of ReaperCons past, which will go for sale on Black Friday.

 

They showed off 3d-prints of the Goblin Adventuring Party (one had it's shield arm break off... oops)

Oookeiii.... That's a big guy....

Sigh... Ok, I think im digging me'own grave here but... Will not(if we keep a consistent scale) that guy being just about right to be a Titan? I admit that im hazzy on the details (size, new editions, all that jazz) but the giants IIRC were roughly the height of 3 tall guys stacked and that guy is More or less four guys so....

 

Edit: just checked, nope, im dead wrong a Titan will be at least 10 guys stacked.... Or the somesuch.... Daaaamnnnn...

 

This new bones storm giant is about an inch or so shorter than the official D&D storm giants so not too bad. Titans are meant to be larger though.  Of course, use whatever you want as it.  Its only a bit strange looking if you have situations with multiple storm giants and titans, etc all on the field at once, but you can always use larger counters for the titan if needed.

 

i was really hoping for a proper titan in the kickstarter :( especially considering the greek set, and the ocean stuff, a titan, maybe with a trident so it can sub as Poseidon, would have fit in perfectly.  I was thinking in the size range of mossbeard the treeman from bones 4 :(

Just want to clarify/correct a couple things.

Ron and Ed mentioned that the zombie trailer park would be PDF rules only and meant as a beer and pretzels, ie very simpler rules, type game.

Ron specifically mentioned they were NOT trying to be Zombicide.

They did mention the scatter terrain would be a separate add on set in the pledge manager and not in any of the expansions.

Thanks, between trying to listen, take screen shots (I even missed some items, it turns out), and wrangling my toddler, I was trying to summarize as concisely as I could, but yeah, I was imperfect in relaying the info.  Yes, the zombie combat rules are meant to be lighthearted fun, not copying any rules-heavy game.  I completely missed the second bit when it was live, but it's definitely there on a rewatch (I went back on youtube to see what I'd missed from the start, and to see if there were any things I missed on the trailer park scatter terrain) that it will be a separate add-on (the sense I get is that it will be much like the Brinewind Extras, but that's just my interpretation of the scant info they stated). 

 

Speaking of which:

The previously-shown logs are meant to go with the camp fire, FYI.

 

It's all obviously shooting for an earlier era (what with the pay phone and tube television,) but I really like the aesthetic.  Again, it's going to be a back-burner sort of thing for me, since there's so much that I'm wanting in the fantasy realms of this Kickstarter, but I could see picking this pack up in case I were to ever run another d20 Modern game (Ron or Ed mentioned the 1980's, and how you could run a Stranger Things type game, which would be fun, IMO).  Things like the camp fire, logs, and tent would be useful for D&D, too.  Heck, the picnic table would be useful in a pinch.

If that scatter terrain is separate, I will certainly get that.

I'm always looking for stuff to enhance bases and scenery.
