Not Quite Dead

You can as well give some clue for your previous movies, if no one was able to guess.

Anyway, as the second one isn't so hard for someone who watch French movies, I'll try to fetch some points:

The easy one (not so sure, but I'll try), may be One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975), by Milos Forman.

The hard one, easier for me, is The Professional or Léon: the professional (1994), directed by Luc Besson.

Just curious: what were the movies you showed us in your previous post? It didn't ring a bell for me.

You're right, @Bawon Samdi!

The hard one was The Virgin Spring (1960), by Ingmar Bergman.

Your turn!

Here are the pics of two movies I really enjoyed:

The easy movie:

The hard one:

Well, I've read the first two books of the Bragelonne edition. I'll borrow the third one as soon as I can, so I'm looking forward to read that story.

Huh. First idea occuring to me: is by any chance, the easy movie: Harold and Maude (1971).

Well, one point is still one point.

Well, the fact that the spell casters can cast only one spell of each kind during the mission makes the Enchanter pretty weak, in my mind too. A shame to have this complete set of Heroquest sleeping in the basement, though. But maybe it's in a display case, where the best parts of our childhoods should be.

I haven't painted much Heroquest these recent days, but during the end of the summer, my wife managed to finish the fimirs miniatures.

Here they are, fighting the first painted hero:

You've got something here, if you want to update them via the Gimp (by @JabbaTheHatt):

I didn't follow the color pattern of the artwork on the Earth Demon, but I got my inspiration from one of @Budala miniatures of Dark Demon that you may see here:

Instead of a dirt/earth/rock effect, I wished to get make it looks like as if it was made of obsidian with lava underneath. I'm quite happy with the result.

I must confess I haven't read the Red Nails yet.

@Arthadan, I think that the Blacktooth Terror looks a bit too much like a T. Rex for me.

But like @narayannis2, I don't really like the Dragon by Monolith. I will look for a proxy, too... The Behemoth as a nice look.

I love Švankmajer shorts. Among them, Dimensions of Dialogue (Možnosti dialogu) may be my favorite. Your turn, @Footballzs!

Hi there. I'm not from Monolith, but from what I've read on the French-speaking forum, I may give some answers to these questions.

@Fred Henry told us that the Book of Set was a test to see if there was still some interest from the public for Conan or if most of the players have moved on other games. What happened yesterday evening seems to prove that a real KS for Conan around 2019 is viable. Which is good for the game and for us.

There may be a way to get the Book of Set whose scenarii will be available on Monolith's website on pdf during that 2019 Conan KS. 

That mini-KS was also a test to deliver a product as quickly as possible using the Kickstarter platform, which means that the final product is printed in advance, thus that there is a limited number of Books of Set. The number of books was chosen from the number of Campaign books sold during the first KS and from the number of free community-made compendium made at the Overlord forum during springtime 2017. Obiviously it wasn't enough, but they couldn't know it by advance.

So it will start sooner in the US (during the afternoon), than in Europe (during the evening)?

This is outrageous!

Nice miniatures, @Epaka! 

My favorite is the second one you made. I'll try to do mine like yours when I'll paint it. (Around 2024, following my schedule. )

I've just finished my first demon, the Demon from the Outer Dark. That miniature would look just fine in a Cthulhu themed game, like Mansions of Madness. This is where we see that REH was a friend of Howard P. Lovecraft!

I should buy a new photo camera, though. One with manual focus. In the picture below, the eyes of the demon look worse than what they really look (although they aren't very well executed ).

And you? What do your demons look like?

@craig, this is not the community book scenario, (aka the Overlord Compendium tome 1). The Book of Set is something that was made by Monolith and not by the community.

Some more info about the Community Compendium:

I don't know if an English version of this compendium will be printed. Maybe @SentMa could tell you more about that specific point. As far as I know, most of the scenarii were translated into English and can be found on this forum.

From what I can gather, those prices DO NOT include shipping, is that correct?

You're right, on the real Kickstarter, on september the fifth, you will have to select your pledge and then your country, and the shipping fee will be ADDED to the prices you're seeing on the WIP page:

Once the pledge level is chosen, Kickstarter will ask you to choose your destination country in order to pay the shipping fees at the same time as your pledge. Generally speaking, you will not be able to choose a country that does not correspond to your hub. However, should a pledge be made for a country that does not correspond to the hubs indicated above, your order will be cancelled and you will receive a full refund.

Some info I looked past yesterday that could be interesting for you people: the Table of content of the Compendium.

@Kathulos, can you give the answer for the incorrect movie, so that I can give his point(s) to @Mekhlis and he can propose two movies to guess?

Darn! I thought the first one could be Excalibur.

Nice move, @Kathulos!

On the French Community Forum, Erwan, from Monolith, posted a link to a WIP webpage for the Book of Set KS (the link is in the quote below).

Salut à tous,

 

Toute l'équipe est à fond sur la préparation du KS de mardi. En attendant je me suis dit que ce serait sympa de partager la page avec vous en avant-première. On attend vos retours ;-)

 

LIEN VERS LE KS

I have no problem with your rules. I actually was incorrect with my first answer and don't deserve those points. Is it worth adding if you guess incorrectly but guess correctly at a second or subsequent try then no points?

If a player is wrong when guessing a movie (or two), they has the right to guess again, as many guesses as they want, as long as someone hasn't given a correct answer.

Brigitte Helm was stunning in that movie! I really liked how she played that freaky gynoid and the sweet and innocent girl defending the rights of poor people.

Huh. I thought it could be Metropolis, but I didn't remember such scene in the movie, altough I saw it two years ago only. When does it occur in the story?

I have no clue...

Do you give clues?
