Awesome, looking forward to getting my copy!
I think the player aid is perfect. Going to get mine laminated. The game itself is amazing. Very challenging. Very rewarding. Very cool story, art, and minis. Mechanics are exciting and tests are enough luck to be fun and enough skill to be worked. Great balance. I sound like a salesman but for real this game is soooo worth the wait. Been playing the last couple weeks non stop.

Super happy to hear that. I know the whole first half of the delay was mechanical rework which was nice. Then the story updates seemed to take the second half
Happy when start delivery in EU, too. Looks awesome 😎

I hear that's right around the corner!
Actually late pledged after hearing that the story is well-written and there's a Story Mode included to keep the mechanical crunch from intruding upon the narrative immersion too much. I like my games challenging, I don't need them to literally kill my imagination with grind endless strategizing - that would be true horror for me ;-)

Story mode sounds ok if short on time but I didn’t get this game to rush through it. I also didn’t just buy a novel. I’m regular game mode playing a round or two at a time the normal way and I enjoy how difficult it is to win. It’s like you’re racing the clock (a slow race lol) to see if you can win the story part, as you slowly lose your lives. Like you can’t just win by surviving and being ok. You WILL slowly die but can you complete the objective first. I love it

I would go for a pretty dirty slapchop + speedpaint. Black primer, spaceship exterior drybrush and then speedpainting over it. Very musclely or veiny creatures probably purple primer and then using aged hide for the wounds/fleshy parts and peachy flesh for the skin in general

@@gbbaker3820 oh man that just sounds a bit unlucky, sorry man. Hopefully wave 2 is soon!
Unfortunate that it took so long but I certainly can’t complain about the quality. Looking forward to painting and playing this one.
I was told my shipment was being handled by the chinese warehouse. Not sure why its all the way over there when they sent ships to both sides of the US.
I really hope they add this game to Forteller, that would catapult the game to next level!
I love that you can see the continuing corruption of what were once wanderers themselves in the monsters provided in the game. You can actually line up the abominations and terrors to see their progression just like you did with the wanderers and try to figure out what drove their transformations. Cant wait to get this to the table.
While the packing wasn't great and I have seen better card quality I was very pleased with what I received, especially after wondering at one point if I had thrown my money away. I look forward to diving into the game.

Wow, very cool unboxing! Thank you! The art is amazing. The style is very close to Deep Madness which also has amazing but gross art :D In comparison KDM looks really family friendly :P This feels so much like a solo game I am a bit worried. Deep Madness plays really well at 3 even if a bit long. Not sure how you tackle a story of Dawn with 3 players. Will know soonish hopefully when I get my copy. Glad they added the Story mode. This is horror of the finest, gorey and splattery type and think it would make for a splendid Halloween session ^^ Been watching some of "The Story of Twins" over at Meet Me at the Table and wow is it well written too.
As far as the baggies for cards, I have my own baggies as well and it’s actually nice bagging up each abomination separately. All fits in that box just fine. I ended up putting the wanderers cards and tokens in their actual boxes.

It was worth the wait for me. I’m quite enjoying it. Finished the first scenario and immediately wanted to play another. I enjoy the mechanics and the story and writing are probably the most enjoyable I’ve experienced in a board game - it’s what keeps me wanting more. The long scenario play time and game play won’t be for everyone, but the kind thing I enjoy.

What I wish is that they would have added the name of the monsters on the tokens. The amount of time I spend trying to find the small correct turn tokens for the monsters by matching the art and some do really look similar is annoying. That being said, the game itself is (after all this time) surprisingly excellent.
So jealous :p when they reported middle of may that all EU deliveries would be done end of may i thought it a safe bet to go for a game day on 22nd of june with some friends with this in mind. Now we are a little more than a week from it and nothing seems to be moving in eu :p

They got alot of flack for releasing their campaign for celestial without having finished dawn of madness and the deepmadness reprint. Now that these are delivering they will probably be doing celestial soon.
This game defiantly takes the cake for the most grotesque minis. It’s very 80s horror vibes. Think hellraiser.

Funny how that works right? Even a 7 or 8 out of ten game can be "not good enough" if you have 9s and 10s tonplay instead
All the progressive malformations are significantly impressive. My least favorite (which is still great) is the priest though, as the motion of his action pose is abruptly suspended by the wooden planks. I've never been fond of specific scenery *moving* alongside miniatures, unless it's as ubiquitous as dirt, cobblestones, etc.
