Amazing. I SHALL GET ALL THE THINGS. Really sad I missed out on the original KS, just didn't have the cash at the time.

I'm anxious for new stuff and picking up the bits I didn't get before. I'm actually holding off on any Black Friday shopping or plans till I know how much of a hit to the budget KD:M KS2 will be for us.

Fortunately I've already got the Core and half the expansions so shouldn't sting too bad.

As much as I am hoping to pick up monster I also really hope they have an option for a box of all the pinups.

Went in for the Ancient Gold Lantern which is Core Game (1.5 version), new Gambler's Box (??), and all 12 existing expansions, for $750.

Then I just said fuck it, and changed it to the Satan's pack for literally ALL THE THINGS EVER. Might have a change of heart (Ancient Gold isn't quantity limited), I have 42 days to decide, but I dunno, given how the first one went, and the absurd value increase people saw, I'm having a hard time seeing how it wouldn't be a good investment, currently owning nothing. Even the $750 was worth it for what it gave, I think.

Welcome to the fold, brethren.

Silver Lantern for me it appears though. Alas - not a ton relevant to me being an existing owner.

And shame, missed Flower Knight, Tree, and Manhunter from finishing my set since they're sold out. Alas.

The Ancient Gold thinger for 750 seems to say it includes all 12 previous expansions, and specifically names Flower Knight.

It's a fun game but it's not 200 dollars fun.

That doesn't seem to be the majority opinion, luckily. And additionally, it seems to be the single best "board game" investment in history. Bonus!

Yea, but for existing owners (I don't need another Core) it's the 50% sale through the webstore only a la carte - and those three are sold out (possibly others as well, but I already have them)

Hopefully he'll allow us to add stuff like FK onto the pledge manager at the end though. I don't mind waiting for a reprint or whatever, but would like to complete mine.

And Fyff: I could see a solid debate at $400 or maybe $300 - but at $200 the value is extremely hard to question.

*shrug* I know very few people who own it and have completed the story. In fact, I know one person out of all of the people I know who own it who has completed it. He did it on TTS with people from around the world and his job is to play games.

Have you finished it Vaclav?

I've never finished a single Elder Scrolls game, but I've bought and played them all and have never regretted them. Shrug.

The thing is if you want a copy you have to get it now. It's been sold out for months and months and its not getting cheaper.

For those interested, Steam Forge did a play through of Dark Souls on their twitch channel.

I did support the Bard's Tale IV one awhile back. Only one I've ever done. Even it turns out to be shit, I don't really care, the first 3 were a big part of my early computer gaming experience as a younger person.

Core, yes, I've defeated The Watcher - alternate campaigns we've failed on thusfar however. (Sunstalker + Dragon King for the alt campaigns we own ATM)

And don't get me wrong, it's pricy there's no question about that, but it's also a magnum opus of the genre. I imagine some other creators will try to be as bold as Poots again in the future from time to time to create amazing products like KD:M in the future, but for now it's really a one of a kind thing.

Even in some weird stretch of the imagination that I stop playing it - it's still something I'd want to keep as an indicator of my board gaming passion anyhow. (Sorta like how Arkham Horror [original, not LCG] has become in my collection - I never play it after Eldritch Horror, but I won't sell it because it holds too many interesting memories/stories tied to this hobby)

I wonder how much KDM 1.5 would re-sell for on Ebay. That would be a lot of coin to drop for extra copies though.
