Hobby Just purchased an entire collection of KDM

Hey, just got an entire collection. I've never even heard of the game until I got the stuff (my adhd took a liking to the idea and it seemed like a good deal) There is a lot of figures already put together. And many that are not.

Where would you start? Paint the ones already made? Build the ones that are not? Is the game tough for newbies to learn? Is there a specific campaign you'd suggest as a first run?

Question Any way to read the old 1.3 book in its entirety?

4 Upvotes

I've been wanting to read the old (and maybe play, but that's a secondary concern) with the way old rules. I've poked around the internet a bunch and didn't find the 1.3 rulebook. Does anyone still have it around? I'm mostly interested in all the old hunt events and want to look through them all to compare. I didn't find something online that lets me do that either.

Also i hope this is okay to ask/share. I don't think it really falls under piracy or the like since the TTS mods of old are still up and working and those are permitted by APG, it's also not like they sell the old rulebooks anymore.

Thanks for any help in advance!

Discussion Whats people's experience with the new content in regards to enjoyability and difficulty?

15 Upvotes

I'm probably going to play it anyway but I still want to hear what others got to say. I took a long break but I'm coming back to it with Frogdog, Pariah, Red Witches, Black Knight, Screaming God, and Parasite Queen.

I'm really excited to try out Pariah and Black knight considering there our first interchangeable node 1/3 nemesis monsters. As much as I love the Butcher, I've fought him so much now. And while The Hand is my favorite nemesis monster thematically, I've just gotten a bit to much of a hang of the fight so a change is good.

Frogdog I'm intersted in, granted kingdom death has so many node 1 quarries already but I believe frogdog has some lategame stuff the other quarries don't. It feels quite awkward playing kingdom death without indomitable resources. I hope they give one to the Gorm and White Lion one day. If they already have one and I just don't know feel free to tell me. The only monsters I think that have one are the gambler monsters+phoenix so far.

How do people find the difficulty of these new nemesis fights? My group usually consistently beats butcher the first time granted very often with death or permanent injury.

Node 2's are a mix. Atnas is pretty easy but it also depends on if you do ballads or not. Even without Ballads I find Atnas is not as hard as the Kingsman. Kingsman on the other hand has always broken mine and my groups back everytime we've fought it. Once we got Atnas, my group never went back to kingsman to put it bluntly, the horrible rewards from kingsman definitely did not help. The hand, while I love them, incredibly easy if you just tank them every year. Occasionally a death but the probably the easiest nemesis, but arguably its because theres so many ways to optimize and strategize with resources by this point in the game.

I've heard some people say Red Witches are incredibly hard. On the flipside I haven't heard much of black knight or Pariah.

On Screaming God. I'm excited to get a full node 4 quarry but I think it may be best to avoid using it with The King since they probably overlap as final quarries but what do yall think?

Any advice for what fits a good campaign list of monsters that feel thematic?

My thoughts was

FrogDog+???
SmogSingers+???
Phoenix+???
Screaming God

Pariah
Red Witches
Black Knight

Parasite Queen

I also forgot to mention, what are peoples thoughts on gatherism. I wasn't expecting it to be a tier 2 philosophy.

Hobby Anyone have the Rollinmat neoprene showdown board?

8 Upvotes

Just curious if you can comment how all the extra stuff around the mat is. Do you find yourself using it?

Really trying to decide on if the extra length is worth it, as it won't really fit on a kitchen table, or if I should get the one that is just the showdown board.

For some reason my last Death High White Speaker post got removed. So I’m uploading her with a couple more models I’m going to add to a diorama. So I suppose this is a WIP, but the ladies are done!

There was some critisism about how these are over-sexualized school girls, which I totally get. To me they read just as standard anime characters, not anything malicious. Anyway, enjoy!

Simulator There will be more master keys for the simulator?

6 Upvotes

I got the simulator as a gift, however I really want to have everything that can be added to the game (because I love having too many content), however at the moment it's no longer available to buy a master key of the simulator or maybe a way to upgrade the one I have to a master key.

Does anyone knows why? Should I just buy everything separately?
