Will the expansions be available to buy?

[iso250]

Hello all.

 

I got in to the game during the last kickstarter.  Too late to select a pledge with all of the expansions, though.  DOes anybody know whether the expansions will be for sale seperately, or is it a case of me having missed the boat?

 

Thank you!

[Bawon Samdi]

Stygia, Kithai and Asguard are available as well as the crossbowmen, kushites and Yoga. That's pretty much it.

[Not Quite Dead]

By Asguard, you mean Nordheim, I guess. ;)

[iso250]

I just realised.  I was looking on the Conan site, not in game stores.  I can see them now.  Forgive my silliness.

 

Oh, for today to be over...

[iso250]

Oh, whilst I'm here, if you had to order just one of the Stygia, Nordheim, or Khitai expansions, which would it be and why?

[Bawon Samdi]

Obviously that's very subjective but AMA:

- Nordheim is the most faithfull to the original stories. Great minis too.

- Khitai has the most beautifull minis and maps.

 

I really like both stygian maps but I'm not overly fond of the minis with too many scorpions

I tend to prefer Nordheim beacause it's setting has more appeal to me. I really love the content of the Khitai box but I just can't picture a Conan story there. For me, it's way too different from the source material.

[Xaltotun]

I agree with @Bawon Samdi: Kithai extension is very nice because of the map (a 4 floors tower); Nordheim has the best miniatures. 

 

My suggest is to check on amazon which one has the fewest number of copies for sale and buy it first.

Is the scenario book worth getting?  The Legend of the Devil in Iron?

Yes, definitely, but just know that you need a King's Pledge in order to play it.

I have a King’s Pledge on the way.

 

I found a new Legend of the Devil in Iron for AUD$60. I’ve seen them on sale for US $130, so I bought it.

Why are only a couple for sale and will there be reprints?

[iso250]

They don't seem to be very forthcoming with information about whether stuff will be reprinted.  There may be another kickstarter for new expansions in 2019, though.  Maybe current stuff will be reprinted then?

[Gamebooty]

I’ve just ordered everything that is for sale now just to make sure prices won’t skyrocket over the years. Hopefully they will release the artist packs and stuff like the dragon again. They are rares then the KS exclusives.

@iso250 @Gamebooty, The most we can say about the re-prints is that they may be available during the Conan 2019 KS campaign. Can't confirm because it's still a little ways into the future and we're firmly focused on Batman at the moment.

I love it when the people who make games participate in the forums.  Tells you that they care about their gaming community.  I, for one, am appreciative of that.

 

If reprints were to be made available, would that include things like the Dragon, or just the large ones?

 

Also, where can we see vids of the upcoming Batman game?  

[Matt John S]

@iso250, that's literally what I'm here for. That, and the fact that I love the game :) Again, I can't get specific about what we will or will not re-print, but I'll keep it in mind as we approach that time. My thoughts are, we'd allow re-print whatever people wanted as long as it's realistic and won't slow the production of the new KS. If offering everything proves problematic, I'll suggest we do a survey to see what the must-haves are from the communities p.o.v.

Conan 1st Kickstarter was a Conan sized offering of content. I don't know how Monolith managed it all, and there are still some rough edges (but I'm not complaining). I would suggest following a survey, but also keeping the door open to rotating through the rarer less requested ones. Over time all of it should have a chance to come back around, but just not necessarily immediately. Keep the reprint/new prints less problematic and do smaller more frequent ones would seem to be better for everyone involved.

[Carlosspicyweener]

Hopefully Monolith will listen to us. Just in case:

 

I wish for reprints of the Dragon, the Black Ones and the Guest Boxes.

Monolith, help me complete my Conan-collection.

Kinda Necro'ing the thread, but a thought I had worth sharing:

If it proves too expensive to re-print the entirety of any of the expansions from the first KS, would it be possible to offer only the cardboard content? (ie map boards and counters, but no mini's?) - This would let people use alternative minis as proxy's, but still be able to play all the scenarios.  Obviously I'd much prefer to get the whole content, just throwing this out as a 'plan B' rather than have stuff just be unavailable entirely.
