SotF Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I'd love to see something similar to the Dreadmere Fishing Boat, but without the worn planks patching it, and the netting not on it. A slightly more generic small boat that can work for a lot of things and in multiples. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One, I don't know... roughly the size of the pirate ship cannons from Bone V perhaps? Perhaps even able to fit into the same location? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Jack Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I'd like to see a pack of dead adventurers and townsfolk, preferably with modular heads, limbs and weapons. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smaller I think, something you could mount on the prow of a boat or the side wall of a wagon or boat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broonkah Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Watched the Clever Crow with Ron today. And thought, if an inn would be to big for Bones VI, what about sections of logs or planks, sort of like the raft. They could be of different lengths and serve as walls, walkways, gangplanks, western sidewalks or fences. also on my wish list: Ed Sculpts - more arachnids An Ed sculpt of “the Ronning man” Thuggees like from chronoscope 30s style gangsters Insectmen (and women) Halfling outriders on armored Bassett hound Elvis-es (the King in many facets… orc, elf, dwarf, ogre, undead….) Battle of the bands (fantasy music bands) Henchmen (and women) in coveralls (like minions for an evil super-genius) Food Golems (pizza golems, meat golems, veggie golems and yummy dessert golems) bones versions of the girl and boy campers (like from chronoscope) B 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YronimosW Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 I've suggested this before, but figured I'd mention again because I don't remember if I forgot anything: Townsfolk: Spooky Edward Gorey-style servants for a Gothic Mansion: Butler, Maid, Cook, Groundskeeper, Chauffeur.... An entire crew of shifty, upper-class, not-Clue characters to go with the servants - Mr. Green, Colonel Mustard, Miss Scarlet.... Shopkeepers and merchants.... "Dungeon Dwellers" - what sorts of weird, twisted, creepy, and dangerous townsfolk live in and work in dungeons? I'd like to see them! These are surely the rejects and misfits who would never fit into ordinary fantasy towns, but who are quite at home in the dark, among the monsters... the repulsive and the strange, the unloved and unlovable, the eccentric and evil, the twisted and the insane.... people who feed the monsters, sweep out their cages, train the owlbears and gelatinous cubes for guard duty, run errands for the Dungeon master to deliver messages and treasures to orcs and goblins and ghouls and drows, and who dig the tunnels, design the traps, repair the temples, keep the crypts, serve drinks to the hobgoblins, cook nameless exotic feasts for the cultists on their holidays, provide room service for outre monsters from other planes on their sinister visits to the material plane.... 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyzolla Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 One more addition to this before the kick off tomorrow - I'd like to see a monster contract group. Sort of like in the Witcher 3 - Wild Hunt, I like to sometimes allow my party to discover tracks or signs/ contracts to hunt and investigate strange creatures and event. A collection of weird one off, not overly powerful (and only vulnerable to certain attacks) but unlikely to be seen beasts would be awesome - and same me having to proxie everything. Ideas like a Wendigo (I know they have one, but i'm not a fan of the mini), drowners, chorts, cockatrices, ect, plus contract notes on posts, and signs to investigate like dung piles and mutilated bodies. It breaks up longer campaigns nicely, allows for roleplaying and exploring, and encourages players to hit up libraries for rare bestiaries that may help them defeat the foes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would REALLY love to see a whole set of Mansion/Manor house servants, especially the butler and maids. Would go really well with all the other Cthulhu beasties you already have. Also, some Deep Ones hybrids that are in transition between human and Deep One, please? On 3/27/2022 at 2:05 AM, YronimosW said: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YronimosW Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Deep One hybrids in transition, and "hybrids" and grotesques of all sorts. As cursed townsfolk, weird monsters, bizarre npcs, and anything else we can imagine. See Francisco de Goya's paintings on one of his really bad, dark days, like his "black paintings" for example - nobody can say for sure quite what went wrong for poor Goya, but there seems to have been a point in his life where, They Live style, he stopped seeing the beauty and grace in the human form, and instead began to see the crowds around him as teeming swarms of gaunt scarecrow figures with vague, leering, rubbery gargoyle faces. Lovecraft directly referenced Goya a few times for example in "Pickman's Model", as one of the few painters who could truly conjure up the very faces of hell itself.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyzolla Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 (edited) I'm really happy about everything in the KS so far! Asked for more sailors with harpoons - got one (though annoyingly I own the metal version, still it's nice to have a plastic for gaming and metal for gaming) Asked for more flail/morningstar weapons - got a giant skelly wielding one Asked for Witcher creatures - got the Will O'wisps With a little flexible thinking a fair bit of what I wanted could be considered covered in this. One more thing I'd like to see - more positivity on the KS6 thread! I go through it quite a lot to see the sneak peaks and twitch reveal pics, but I may have to stop. I'm really surprised by how negative some people are about the reveals. Maybe it's just because I'm in Australia so I have to buy in 100 USD boxes, but to me all the expansions and the core set look like awesome value, with more than enough models to justify them. I've been a bit surprised by the sheer volume of complaints so far. It makes it much harder to enjoy the process and get excited about the new reveals. I'm really looking forward to the Dungeon set - all I'm hoping for here are new sculpts, as I think I've probably got most of the interesting metal minis already. It would be cool for a few dungeon markers for players to investigate - leavers, floor signs, traps ect.

YronimosW Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 +1 to what @tommyzolla said! I think some of us that have seen multiple Kickstarters and/or have been collecting Reaper metal figures for a long time may be feeling a little jaded, as they've either seen some of the sculpts before in the case of some of the classic metal figures getting a Bones makeover, or have otherwise "seen it all before" in the case of things like adventurers, skeletons, orcs, zombies, goblins, ghosts, and other common monsters. It's a bit easy to forget that for new gamers, painters, and collectors, these Kickstarters are a huge value, loaded with fantastic surprises that a lot of backers don't already have. I've backed all the regular Bones Kickstarters since the first on, and probably have more adventurers than I can ever use, but I, for one, am still having fun seeing what gets revealed in this Kickstarter, even when it isn't my own cup of tea. It does get a little difficult sometimes to keep up the good mood with some of the more negative comments. it gets a little infectious, I guess, but I can understand that some of the backers have some fair enough gripes they need to get off their chests. And I know I've made a few people mad in past Kickstarters by trying to keep things positive - they felt like nobody takes their complaints seriously or validates their opinions. Maybe there should be a Kickstarter anti-enthusiasm thread somewhere to help exorcise a little of the dooming? I guess I needed to doom and rant a little too, so sorry to hit the soapbox - I'm off it again. I am glad to see so many fan requests getting covered in this Kickstarter - the fae expansion, stirges, and so many others. The artists and sculptors are doing absolutely beautiful work. The fae expansion in particular has some gorgeous content! One of the comments on the Kickstarter page by "Kelly" sounded like a fantastic idea to me, and I expanded on the idea a bit: "Would luv to see a mushroom sprue. A mushroom grove would be awesome." I think this sort of thing would be bought in multiples by people who do scenic bases, create 3D dungeon tiles and terrain, dioramas, and so on: Mushrooms sprue Crystals sprue (translucent) Loose Skulls and Bones sprue Dungeon Vermin sprue ("small" snails, slugs, grubs, spiders on and off webs, crickets, and cockroaches, intended for decorative purposes - doesn't matter if they're freakishly big, as long as they're a good size to decorate a mini base with....) Litter Sprue (translucent - empty(?) bottles, jars, torn books, broken weapons, creepy dolls, and other debris that might be found littering the town sewers, dungeons, haunted ruins, and whatever....) 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YronimosW Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 (edited) That sounds like an absolute blast of a set! A gnome Professor Plum, A dwarf Ms. White, A halfling cleric or druid Mr. Green... an undead Mr. Boddy to haunt the lot of them for their treachery.... You'll have to supply your own Old Dark House for a dungeon-crawl night of murder, mystery, and gothic horror, unless Reaper is more inclined to make large terrain set-pieces than they seem, but some small gothic mansion terrain bits could be a lot of fun: billiards table, haunted clock, overstuffed chairs, bookcase-secret-door, grand piano, gramophone record player, suspicious wardrobe....
