I think the player aid is perfect. Going to get mine laminated. The game itself is amazing. Very challenging. Very rewarding. Very cool story, art, and minis. Mechanics are exciting and tests are enough luck to be fun and enough skill to be worked. Great balance. I sound like a salesman but for real this game is soooo worth the wait. Been playing the last couple weeks non stop.

Super happy to hear that. I know the whole first half of the delay was mechanical rework which was nice. Then the story updates seemed to take the second half

Actually late pledged after hearing that the story is well-written and there's a Story Mode included to keep the mechanical crunch from intruding upon the narrative immersion too much. I like my games challenging, I don't need them to literally kill my imagination with grind endless strategizing - that would be true horror for me ;-)

Story mode sounds ok if short on time but I didn’t get this game to rush through it. I also didn’t just buy a novel. I’m regular game mode playing a round or two at a time the normal way and I enjoy how difficult it is to win. It’s like you’re racing the clock (a slow race lol) to see if you can win the story part, as you slowly lose your lives. Like you can’t just win by surviving and being ok. You WILL slowly die but can you complete the objective first. I love it

I love that you can see the continuing corruption of what were once wanderers themselves in the monsters provided in the game. You can actually line up the abominations and terrors to see their progression just like you did with the wanderers and try to figure out what drove their transformations. Cant wait to get this to the table.

I would go for a pretty dirty slapchop + speedpaint. Black primer, spaceship exterior drybrush and then speedpainting over it. Very musclely or veiny creatures probably purple primer and then using aged hide for the wounds/fleshy parts and peachy flesh for the skin in general

It was worth the wait for me. I’m quite enjoying it. Finished the first scenario and immediately wanted to play another. I enjoy the mechanics and the story and writing are probably the most enjoyable I’ve experienced in a board game - it’s what keeps me wanting more. The long scenario play time and game play won’t be for everyone, but the kind thing I enjoy.

Wow, very cool unboxing! Thank you! The art is amazing. The style is very close to Deep Madness which also has amazing but gross art :D In comparison KDM looks really family friendly :P This feels so much like a solo game I am a bit worried. Deep Madness plays really well at 3 even if a bit long. Not sure how you tackle a story of Dawn with 3 players. Will know soonish hopefully when I get my copy. Glad they added the Story mode. This is horror of the finest, gorey and splattery type and think it would make for a splendid Halloween session ^^ Been watching some of "The Story of Twins" over at Meet Me at the Table and wow is it well written too.

What I wish is that they would have added the name of the monsters on the tokens. The amount of time I spend trying to find the small correct turn tokens for the monsters by matching the art and some do really look similar is annoying. That being said, the game itself is (after all this time) surprisingly excellent.

As far as the baggies for cards, I have my own baggies as well and it’s actually nice bagging up each abomination separately. All fits in that box just fine. I ended up putting the wanderers cards and tokens in their actual boxes.

All the progressive malformations are significantly impressive. My least favorite (which is still great) is the priest though, as the motion of his action pose is abruptly suspended by the wooden planks. I've never been fond of specific scenery *moving* alongside miniatures, unless it's as ubiquitous as dirt, cobblestones, etc.
