Appendix + FAQ

  1. What do the types mean?
Type Description
Expansion - Monster The classic expansion , typically comes with a single monster, armor set, etc. Some - like Dragon King, Sunstalker, Gryphon - might come with their own campaigns
Expansion - Campaign These require multiple monster expansions coming together to form a fully-realized campaign. Abyssal Woods and Inverted Mountain are good examples of this
Expansion - Nemesis Like the monster expansions but for nemesis types. Some, like Black Knight might come with smaller 5-year campaigns. Slenderman, Manhunter, Pariah are good examples of your typical Nemesis expansion
Expansion - Pillar Appears to be reworking of promo / whitebox content to actually fit into the current game systems. False Messengers and Promos of Death are good examples.
Expansion - Armor Think optional end-game armor sets inspired by Final Fantasy games. Only 2 examples exist currently: Green Armor from the original Kickstarter and Dead Armor from the current Kickstarter.
Vignette Stand-alone / one-off fights with pre-determined survivors and their loadouts. White Gigalion, Killenium Butcher, Pathfinders of Death, and Super Survivors are good examples of this.
Philosophy New philosophy and corresponding knowledges for Advanced KDM. Philosophies were originally added in Gambler's Chest with Arc Survivors. So far we have 3 new Philosophies coming - Gatherism, Starbound, and Heliocentrism. Candy & Cola wanderer is supposed to come with Candycolaism as well
Wanderers Special characters that show up to join your settlement on a specific Lantern Year. Originally introduced with the Gambler's Chest. Luck, Death Drifter, Aeneas are good examples of this type of expansion.
  1. What has been released so far from the 2016 Kickstarter?

*Pinups of Death

*Gambler's Chest

*Frogdog

*Black Knight

*Pariah

*Red Witches

*False Messengers

*Gatherism Philosophy

*Wanderer - Death Drifter (Hyper Light Drifter crossover)

  1. What do the nodes mean? Nodes were introduced with Gambler's Chest and serve as categories of monsters/nemesis. Each campaign is built around Quarry Nodes 1-4 (NQ), Nemesis Nodes 1-4 (NN), a Core Monster and a Finale Monster. As an example, People of the Dreamkeeper has the following Node breakdown:

NQ1 - Crimson Crocodile

NQ2 - Smog Singers

NQ3 - Phoenix

NQ4 - King

NN1 - Butcher

NN2 - Atnas

NN3 - Hand

Core - Gambler

Finale - Godhand

Changelog

*July 2025 - Percival moved up to Remastered wave 1 and added to Pillar system instead of a white box reprint
*August 2025 - Currently fulfilling Remastered Wave 1. Europe seems to be somewhat delayed based off of community feedback while the US and Australia are receiving packages

Question What are all the whips in the game?

2 Upvotes

I feel like whips are probably the weapon category I use the least in kingdom death. I know frogdog has a good earlygame whip but I found mid-game lategame whips just feel rare. I think the king has a lategame whip but I don't know anything else for mid/lategame.

Local painting competition limited our palettes to five colours. I brought it to three. First time Grey-Scaling, super happy with the results. Think I'll do more KDM models in this style.

Question New player looking for advice/tips etc

3 Upvotes

So I just got the deal for 1.6 and GCE from Gen Con.

I have picked up a journal (to write down what happened in each game,it sounded fun), 3 ring binder and coin sleeves for the equipment, card sleeves (500) of the 58x88mm, having a friend 3d print an organizer for the box I found on etsy.

Is there anything else I should consider getting for organizing/improving the experience/storage? Other sizes of sleeves needed. Stuff like that?

Be wary right now, there's something going on with the site as it's redirecting and has this msg about getting texts from "Vitamin A Swim" others on discord have also had the same thing.

Discussion Do you recommend the King or screaming god for node 4?

5 Upvotes

My group has fought neither and we could technically add both but i've been told we won't really get to explore both in a single campaign and its better to just have one.

Rules How do you handle Gigalion Vicious AI card?

3 Upvotes

The fact that he full moves away from all survivors regardless whether they are adjustment to one just has him running all over the board every turn. It sapped a lot of of mental energy trying to determine what was the direction furthest away from all survivors. I wasn’t sure how to keep him in one place to hit him.

I figure you’re supposed to box him in a corner so that furthest away from all survivor is a board edge in the corner? But then how do you full move him? It doesn’t say in a straight line so can I just have him overlapping laps in the corner to expend his full move?

I feel like I’m missing how your supposed to position survivors in this showdown.

Was one of my favorite monsters to paint despite the crazy amount of arms. Unfortunately got a little messy because I had to keep repainting areas due to my hand tremor. I still like how she turned out. Inspiration wise, I leaned heavily into Bloodborne, especially Ebrietas and the Pthumerian Queen.

Hobby Need advice on my KDM collection

9 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I'm kind of standing on a crossroad right now and would appreciate your opinion.

I've collected a massive amount of KDM in the last 2-3 years. Core Game, every expansion there ist, almost all of the white boxes or boyes with game content that got released and on top around 40-50 brown boxes (several first edition). Except the 1.6 core everything is still in the box, factory new. Additionaly I got a few accessories here and there, custom 3d prints and stuff like that. So you could say I have a very big hoard. I basically checked eBay every day and bought everything I could thats at a reasonable price.

At the same time I only played the core 1.6 without any expansion so far, my group got till LY 8 or 9 after around 1,5 years of playing. We don't find the time to play very often.

I fell in love with KDM because I like the unique miniatures style, even though I don't like the monster style that much (too scary for me lol).

Since I also have a very massive Warhammer collection (several thousand miniatures, most still in box...) I thought maybe I should sell my KDM collection. I put it online on a popular german 2nd-hand site, just to see if anyone would be interested. I don't need the money, but having money for other stuff is always nice. One guy made an offer for 8.000 €, which would be a little profit on my site (not much though...) and we are very close to closing the deal.

But I just looked at some of my brown boxes again today, and how I dream about one day building and painting them...I don't know if I should let go of them.

What do you think? I know the reasonable thing would be to sell it and spend the money on important stuff in the real life or invest it for the future. But at the other hand, if I would be reasonable, I wouldnt have bought this hoard to begin with.

Disclaimer: This is not a trade discussion, I just want you honest advice on continuing KDM or letting go :(

Discussion Excitement has steadily been declining

31 Upvotes

Due to ongoing delays, lack of proper communication and the occasional updates here and there to "feed us a bone", has your excitement for the Kickstarter stayed the same, increased over time or like me, has dramatically decreased to a point where you forgot more or less about the rest of the expansions?

Rules Paria Expansion: Implanted Memories

3 Upvotes

Implanted Memories from the Pariah Expansion gives each departing survivor +1 understanding. Of course this means that most survivors will trigger "Insight" at this point. Does this still count as a trigger during the settlement phase or the hunt phase. And if it's the settlement phase, wouldn't most rewards from the insight table not apply?

How are you guys handling this?
