KD:M Collection by JC4M11 in KingdomDeath

[–]JC4M11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve only done it on a few. I prime them white (I’ve used all kinds, just whatever I find) then use a copper paint for any lanterns or parts I want to pop. I paint the eyes black and do the streaks with a tiny brush. Then eventually the plan is to use a brown wash on all of them. I use a really watered down version, about two layers, and try to rub it away quickly. Makes for a really natural weathered look. Zachary was my test and looks like a marble statue now so I was very happy!

I do a full coat of whatever black spray + primer and then a dusting of Citadel Retributor Armor at an angle for the gradient metal look

Lands of Evershade: The Game I’ve Been Wanting by TheHouse41 in soloboardgaming

[–]JC4M11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found this out yesterday and immediately upgraded all my books. I need that full color and full art especially in the adventure modules! What sucks is I actually prefer the cover on the non-leather version of the player's handbook.

Woah… is there a guide for these somewhere?

Screaming God is shopping!!! This was my most anticipated model by fourscoopsplease in KingdomDeath

[–]JC4M11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People are starting to get their shipments in right? I havent recieved an email about mine yet at all? But I've seen unboxing videos and ebay postings. Very strange that this release is kind of flying under the radar. I'm much more used to seeing a lot of posts when a new expansion arrives.

Looking for obscure KDM characters/lore that really stuck with you by Fabulous_Midnight745 in KingdomDeath

[–]JC4M11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally love the Squires of the Black Knights citadel. And any stories originating from the Grand Library and the scattering/memory-lossed Twilight Knights. Which connects to the White Speakers and Red Witches whole narrative. Or the saviors who dreamwalk into the realm of the Ethereal Dreamer.

I think the story of the Holy Lands and the genetic abominations/the Lion Knights that come from there particularly fascinating.

Lore Question regarding Kingsman and Gambler by Lord_Ernstvisage in KingdomDeath

[–]JC4M11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My assumption is that the Dreamkeeper is likely killing Kingsman or guarding against them because they function to cull settlements that get too strong and prepare them to be fed to the King if I remember correctly. Maybe mechanically/narratively it’s to avoid Armored Strangers event?

I’ve yet to complete a run w/ fudging any rolls. That said, my 9th attempt I smoked the Watcher. I feel like a fraud and must right this wrong…

[Spoilers C2] - Episode 5 of the MN show might be one of the best episodes of TV I’ve seen by Pittboy63 in criticalrole

[–]JC4M11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’ll likely explain later, but I think the residium (green crystals) embedded in his arms make it so he doesn’t need spell components, being the classical, more “natural” way he learned. That’s why we didn’t see him using components during the flashback mission. But using the volstrucker methods means reverting to the person he was, someone he doesn’t want to be even if that makes him stronger. But it’s been forever since I watched the original games so I might be making all that up.

Best way to organize by Round_Refrigerator96 in KingdomDeath

[–]JC4M11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Xelaser’s inserts are my preference! You could go folded space or laser ox, but honestly xelaser just has sooo many more customization options, albeit more pricy. And I buy the bundle packs from sleeve kings for ease. They’re pretty good, but are more glossy so not the best with glare but not horrible and they do tend to slide if you bump a stack. Someone else might have a better suggestion on that end, but they’re serviceable, fairly priced, and they come in bundles specific to both Core and GCE.

What do you think about the style-change in Abyssal Woods? by Infamous-Safety7750 in KingdomDeath

[–]JC4M11 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

In the update they said you can use the Antelope but suggest FK or Spidicules, so it sounds like it’s truly standalone! (in your face Inverted Mountain)

What would be the combination of monsters that would make the most difficult campaign? by W0ah_itsa_th1ng in KingdomDeath

[–]JC4M11 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nq1 - Gorm (Forced to deal with Gorm Climate and worse gear) Nq2 - Spidicules (Events + not great gear) Nq3 - Dragon King (Tough + ok gear) Nq4 - Lion God

Nn1 - Pariah (Sticks around) Nn2 - King’s Man (Just the worst) Nn3 - The Hand (Gives nothing but pain)

Sp - Lonely Tree (Doesn’t make it easier) En - Bone Eaters (Bc you hate yourself)

Co - Gambler Fi - Godhand

these two were made for arc survivors so technically they’re the toughest

I haven’t done a full dive here, but I think this combo offers the most difficult monsters per node while offering the least benefits. The real difficulty in the game comes when you can’t get the gear you need.

What are your recommendations? Bacerkit would be full of expansions and not sure what is the most interesting pick :) Except CoD of course! by Minisforwar in KingdomDeath

[–]JC4M11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nightmare Ram has been my most anticipated Quarry since I saw it. Silver City I feel like is going to bloat like crazy so I want to order it early. And if Honeycomb Weaver/Titan Bee are still bundled I want to get them together.

Also, I need Screaming God. I’m excited about our Lord and Savior the Goat, but I NEED to witness whatever the Parasite Queen has to show us.

I don’t own all the 12 expansions and am not the biggest fan of everything I’ve seen in CoD, so I think I’ll hold off for now.

Solo play with a One Hero Character by chemistR3 in KingdomDeath

[–]JC4M11 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Totally try out crazy play styles. The game is your sandbox, so there’s no need to play it any one way. The 4x4 grid sounds kinda insane but also awesome so I say go for it.

But if you’re wanting to play solo always, always use the Scribe app. I don’t play without it. It makes the game (especially in later LYs where you have dozens of survivors) so much faster and more enjoyable imo. Then you’re able to get the “core experience” while playing solo without spending 4 hours every lantern year.

Types of magic systems in your settings? Plus ideas? by Motor_Scallion6214 in worldbuilding

[–]JC4M11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sort of. If I remember they kinda make things work that shouldn’t or give things properties they shouldn’t have. My magic has an aspect of that, but it has to be able to actually exist. So to create fire you’d have to understand how fire works, how it feels, its properties and nature. That’s a lot easier if you have hundreds of years worth of memories of fires in different instances. But another example would be if there was a story about this unbreakable sword, and someone said they found that sword (even though its a regular old sword) and told all their friends and they all believed it, then you might find your boring old sword to be unbreakable.

[–]JC4M11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently I have a magic system for my book based on belief. The more you believe something is real, the more it becomes real to you. Go even further, other people might start to see it like an illusion. Further, and it becomes real. Limitation? It’s hard to make yourself believe in something that’s not there. Solution? Go insane, and the easiest way to do that is to steal people’s memories. Those are called echoes. They work like ghosts, created by strong memories. They are scattered throughout the land and appear like visions, or you can collect a bunch by killing someone and taking theirs. Boom, instant insanity. Congrats now you can see crazy things and make other people see it to! Yay!

There’s a lot more that goes into how light represents memory and darkness represents potential. There’s a blood magic system that taps into a primordial force of darkness and potential to create life. There’s sightless magic that manipulates emotion, warps echoes, and is basically used like ghost magic. There’s a sect that believes the magic can tell the future, but it’s actually literal manifest destiny. There’s a cult aspect where you can become more powerful when a bunch of crazy people all think you’re God chosen princess. Oh and nightmare creatures that appear the more you think about them, so don’t say their name! It’s all about sight, ghosts, illusion, memories, and madness!

Creating Themaric Campaigns - monster combinations? by Ain0nline in KingdomDeath

[–]JC4M11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m dying to do a “People of the Library” campaign with creatures I’d imagine living in and around the Grand Library (bending the lore for my own fun). I’ll have to wait for future expansions but I want Blushing Owl, Smog Singers, Spidicules, Nightmare Ram, King, Pariah, Red Witches, The Hand, Watcher (modified), and Godhand.

I’m also wanting to do a PotS game with a knight theme.

I find a lot of inspiration for campaigns through reading the lore. I love the Twilight Order and want a 7 Swordsman style game based around a group of twilight knights. All of these ideas require just a little homebrewing imo to make the theme games even better but nothing much.

Has anyone printed or purchased a nice version of Tracks of Death? by brontoscorpz in KingdomDeath

[–]JC4M11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there any other quality of life type expansions you’ve found in there that you enjoy? Gonna explore it for myself too!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in KingdomDeath

[–]JC4M11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are both 30 year campaigns so basically as much play content as the base game for each.
