KeymasterAnother day, another Conan kickstarter campaign. Conan: Rise of Monsters is a pre-painted miniatures game, starting off with the Legion of Set versus the Circle of Iron. It’s pre-painted, which a nice change, but it ain’t cheap either.
It looks fine and has a straightforward custom dice system, but I’m not seeing anything here that’s particularly different or interesting, and coming so close after the Monolith Conan game, I think they have a bit of an uphill battle ahead, as evidenced by the sluggish response to their pricey $250K goal. They use words like ‘epic’ and ‘hordes’, but considering the number of figures involved, it looks more skirmish-level to me.
Not for me, but what do you think?

ParticipantI pretty much agree. After backing alot of $$ for the Monolith Conan as well as the Age of Conan expansion…..I am kind of Conan’d out.
Dont get me wrong, the minis look real nice and are pre-painted – BIG plusses in my book. But for what you get, the cost is just too much (even for the early birds – if there are little to no stretch goals added).
The way this KS is going, it does not look like they will be breaking any major number of stretch goals.I also dont like how you can buy the starter sets separately – but you really need to get BOTH starters for a “playable” game (which will only have 30 figures if there are no stretch goals). Notice i did not use the term “Complete Game”.
I almost wish they would sell the “game system” (cards, dice, etc.) without the minis so i could use my Monolith minis for this system!!
Unless something drastically changes, I will unfortunately not be Kickstarting CROM.

KeymasterDoh! I just realised Conan: Rise of Monsters spells out CROM. That was a bit slow of me…

KeymasterWell, the campaign was cancelled. Looks like they’re doing a deal with Reaper Miniatures are relaunching the campaign at a later date.
Funny how you can just tell right off the bat when a campaign isn’t going to do well.

ParticipantIt looks like they will be partnering with Reaper. I guess we shall see what they come up with in the re-launch later this year.

ParticipantYeah, that one didn’t hook me one bit. At a quick glance, I was under the impression it was just another kickstarter hoping to ride the wave of the Monolith game. Meh. Oh well.
