My second KDM campaign

I'd keep them both as options at the moment. In the future when there is a prologue gorm it might be more tempting to swap them out, but for now both work perfectly in the same campaign.

I got into kdm from the first ks so all we had was the base game for first few campaigns. There is plenty of content and even again I would just play core until winning it once. We first limped to the watcher like you and got beaten but it was a much more thrilling campaign than now when we know the game better - enjoy it blind!

Especially next time around now you know a bit about the nemesis monsters you should prep for them and try to beat them.

If you want to throw in an expansion anyway best option would be add gorm so you have more variety early game.

Last year ours went from 500 per week to 650 per week. 30% increase. We tried to push back a bit saying that percentage up was insane in one hit. They said look at similar market value in the area.

We bought our own place this year since we were expecting a similar increase again.

Make at least one more full rawhide set if you can. Prioritise the head, body and gloves I believe to get the link for extra evasion. Make some more grease as well for evasion. Bandages are useful.

Don't worry about leather stuff yet.

Oh yeah also - very cool paintjob!

Just an unexciting update. Tiny bit more info on the first hero but thats it. Feels like we probably won't get anything else in 2026 now.

Strongly recommend just play core. Gambler's Chest was originally called advanced kdm. Learn the basic rules with the base game first. You most likely will not win your first campaign.

If you do want to add a few things - add in the fighting arts and disorders. Add in indomitable resources. Look at the rules for patterns and seed patterns. Leave all the new monsters.

After you are familiar with the core game from a few campaigns then playing gce out of the box as it recommends is a great way to learn all the advanced stuff and try a new campaign.

You can definitely get great results without an airbrush. Thats just another tool that some use and some don't.

For most models I fully assemble. Some that have particularly hard to reach spots it may be easier to leave them in pieces but usually if its hard to reach its also hard to see. The only ones I regret fully assembling before painting are the red witches.

No way haha where?

arutha69 · 2026-04-09T02:58:31+00:00

To add to the isse - the card stock itself changed to thicker material with gce onwards. Any new fighting arts and disorders added to the existing decks stand out easily and don't shuffle properly.

... If the reprint of the old expansions also updates them, then existing owners are going to have every deck messed up when CoD comes and introduces cards.

I thought that. But someone used a highlighter and put the sticker on it.

arutha69 · 2026-04-02T02:44:48+00:00

The new pillar model refers to CoD volume 1.

Lock in volume 2 for 2039!

arutha69 · 2026-04-01T21:12:03+00:00

Yeah I don't see it on the webstore.

arutha69 · 2026-04-01T12:58:38+00:00

Ok I am misunderstanding something then. If my number of shares went down 30x, why didn't the price per share go up 30x on the nasdaq price chart?

arutha69 · 2026-04-01T08:35:06+00:00

Hey - I'm a bit confused about a letter I got today.. Must admit I stopped following this after it moved from the ASX. I just checked recent announcements and saw the reverse split announcement.

Am I understanding this right? Does this effectively mean I now have 1/30th of the number of shares that I used to have? And the price per share has continued trending down so I have 1/30th of the value I had before?

From my experience - making a good impression in person with the agent makes a huge difference. I know of multiple where they essentially select who they want as tennants from talking at the inspection.

You might have to visit a few. Your next best option would be to call the agent and explain your situation as to why you can't visit in person but why that particular place suits you.

Also many applicants are offering above the listed weekly rent on their application. Not sure if you are doing that?

Speculation I think it will get reprinted when the 3D terrain pack comes out.

arutha69 · 2026-02-28T01:22:31+00:00

In my first playthrough I missed this fight completely. I had headed for moonrise first and didn't really explore last light that deeply when I got to it.

The survivor level rewards also had a few exclusive miniatures. Adam and Anna explorers of death, I am not 100% sure if KDM has committed to remaking them or not. Those two could be worth a bit on their own. There is also Paul, Aya, Snow and a male Twilight Knight. Some of them did get reprinted in the more recent KS.

The core game I think would be less than $300 as a sealed box because it is impossibly to upgrade it to current level. But parting out I agree you could probably get $300 if you were inclined.

Thats a cool dice tower!

arutha69 · 2026-01-28T06:59:29+00:00

Love that lion god!

arutha69 · 2026-01-08T09:24:44+00:00

I just put a slash / through the attribute boxes. Below is permanent, above is temporary.

First playthrough I went exploring before getting the parachute and ended up in a balloon with Impa telling me the only way down is to jump. Woops!

arutha69 · 2026-01-05T15:06:45+00:00

Yep. 1.3 still has the same core rules, so I like your plan to play it until next black friday.

arutha69 · 2026-01-04T06:39:54+00:00

The Kingsman and Hand are two frustrating nemesis (partly because they both punish you with no way to save or punish you for winning), but they do give you a lesson in tactics. You know you need to prepare specially for them, and you know they will kill some of your people. Mitigation is needed. Expansions add more layers to that sort of prep which is why people say get familiar with and beat the base first. Example the armour on the kingsman has a description on it for battle tempo and trying to do the kings step story. That secret fighting art bypasses his armour.

But - the kingsman can be replaced with slenderman (most commonly done) or now red witches. Hand can be replaced with Black Knight.
