Dungeon Saga Origins - Ronnie Answers Your Questions

[@lijo03]

I'm putting my vote in now for solo play.

[@NotTheStinkyCheese]

we can do it ... right ? I mean, it's a stretchgoal so ... we have to reach it together in order to play on our own :D

[@robschmidt6464]

So has the SOLO/COOP already been designed? If not I assume it will not be under the the tree by Christmas with this option?

[@holysmoke8439]

I played all the campaigns solo yrs ago? The monsters see u they attack ...there's your A i

[@tosjeck]

THX for picking up my question, a translation into German would not only be of great benefit to me, but will also take away a huge burden for many people. For me dungeon saga is the perfect starter box for anyone trying to get into d&d etc.

[@kimforsell8122]

Finally! My gaming group played Dungeon Saga for 1 year straight - and we loved it all the way! Wait until I tell them that Origins is coming - WHOHOOO!🙂

[@Paul_Inman]

So, what is the scope for potentially getting the original DS campaigns converted to the new rules?

[@timesup5105]

Would be nice. Would show they care about the loyal customer.

[@soob99]

It’s nice to see designers excited and animated when discussing their game, for a change! So often I’m put off by these sorts of showcases where designers look like their own game is boring them to death.

[@MichaelMordor]

Dungeon Saga is still my favourite Dungeon crawler of all time so I will be backing Dungeon Saga Origins for sure, I have not been this excited about a Kickstarter in some time ❤

[@manticgames]

we're glad to see so many people as excited as we are!

[@holysmoke8439]

It's the smoothest playing crawl.

[@gregjames9383]

I have backed this project, can't wait to play it when it arrives. The daily reveals were great, minis look fantastic. I play Star Saga with friends and family and they love it...

[@bradp6452]

Sounds like family time fun.

[@NotTheStinkyCheese]

Star Saga Origins next ? 'cause if you're sort of rebooting/fixing Dungeon Saga ... then the SF variant has got to be next, right ? ;)

[@athutch]

I'm so excited.

[@PeninsulaPaintingProjects]

This is something I'd like to get into

[@NewbieDice]

Exciting!

[@TableTopTransformer]

I hope there'll be more than 4 heroes in the big box.

[@danm830]

I think that's a very safe bet!

[@pauls3585]

This sounds cool

[@brett7773]

Is there expanded exploration/search mechanics? And more depth in character variability and progression?

[@stevemerrifield5580]

Looks great. Will the solo/co-op option be for all quests and out the box, or will it need an app?

[@OverkillJOE1]

Has anyone ever mentioned that Ronnie has the best hair in gaming??? 😂👍

[@manticgames]

You've never seen what's under my hat... - Jonny 😛

[@Torkijo]

Been waiting for this since your pre pandemic open day 🙂, lucky enough to have 5 big books holding all of the original but understand the decision. Son sold his Space Hulk to get the original following an open day play 7 years agocant wait.

[@LeeroyPorkins]

Will there be artwork? I would then be able to port them into Massive Darkness 2, like I did with Descent 2nd Edition.

[@danelmore2783]

Sounds pretty good.

[@Mark-nh2hs]

I wonder if the combat is the same or more like Star Saga's combat? I really enjoyed Dungeon Saga but sometimes the combat was tied down for turn after turn due to the dice mechanics. Not a issue but did get frustrating when it happened in high tension situations 🤣. Looking forward to this 👍

[@manticgames]

Hey, we have streamlined a lot of the game but we will be sure to answer this question in more detail in the next q&a, when we delve deeper into game play.

[@Mark-nh2hs]

@@manticgames ooooohh that's great can't wait. It will be interesting to see what mechanics have changed. it was a great game love it.

[@christophergough5366]

Kickstarter + promises about Christmas delivery seems a bit risky.

[@manticgames]

Everything is sculpted and ready to go, we believe it to be more than possible.

[@steslack7087]

They havent even updated the people that backed The Umbrella Academy: The Board Game for 3 months.

[@nugtuggets]

Will the Legendary Edition be the only version on the Kickstarter? Or will you be able to pledge for a 'standard' or 'retail' version?

[@danm830]

Retail version is being saved for retailers. Kickstarter editions will be a bigger box, special price, and come with extra content.

[@genghisgahan9623]

Question: will the game boards be modular like the original dungeon saga (which I found a bit awkward) or larger style (like zombicide or dungeons and dragons adventures games). On that point - is there any chance the squares be a little bigger to accommodate miniatures which have bigger poses (like the metal barbarian miniature which took up a square and a half with his wide pose). Basically I'd like the tiles to be a little bigger ( I like to swap out miniatures for custom heroes) and less small shapes.

[@danm830]

They are large style tiles with lots of rooms per side, all double-sided - have been shown on another video. Can spin/flip/swap for variety, and door locations move as well.

[@Torkijo]

Has exact launch date been announced yet?

[@manticgames]

Not yet, we don't want to commit to a nailed down date until we are sure everything is ready to go but the aim is late March/early April

[@Torkijo]

@@manticgames Brilliant (as have 2 others going live on the 15th)

[@danm830]

30th March now confirmed

[@gdmr1361]

Good to hear that Mantic recognises that they need to improve the quality of their miniature production. Make great games, just the miniatures have been a disappointment... I am looking forward to seeing the new sculpts. No more bendy swords!

[@manticgames]

We believe we have come on leaps and bounds in a very short space of time and are now producing high quality minis for all our games, hence wanting to go back and improve on this great game.

[@crippledfoxgaming]

But what about when they're NOT delving through dungeons? What sort of things do heroes get up to?😁

[@gregorycook3550]

They are watching KZbin videos of new updated board games coming in 2023.

[@crippledfoxgaming]

NATCH!

[@timesup5105]

Did they mention price?

[@manticgames]

Not yet but we think you will be blown away by the value!

[@Gumlass1]

Are they less bendy than League of Infamy? I was quite disappointed with some of the minis in there. The material was not at all suitable for some of the fine sculpts.

[@manticgames]

Yes, the best comparison is those in the Hellboy range.

[@travisw1767]

Please bake in solo/co-op from the outset. Just not interested otherwise.

[@danm830]

Solo now confirmed from the start.

[@aussierandomfamilyvideos2732]

Make sure you get the QA done correctly! I was very disappointed with the original, a terrible manual, and poorly tested scenarios.

[@John-lf3iu]

So what do I do with my existing DS collection?

[@Mark-nh2hs]

Play it some more lol or make your own campaigns that's what I do 😊👍

[@manticgames]

Nobody is saying you can't continue to play it, you'll just also want this! 😉

[@paytonwynn]

@@manticgames I suppose he is more concerned about compatibility between previous products and this new game line (i.e. will there be some kind of "Conversion Guide"?)

If enough Spanish backers, yes.

[@steslack7087]

If no solo play I wont be buying it.

Solo now confirmed from the start.

[@mysticmouse7983]

Be nice to cater for wider audience with Female versions of all heroes. Heroquest did this to their credit.

[@GrungefolkBoy2010]

There was a female character in original DS.

[@mysticmouse7983]

@@GrungefolkBoy2010 only one tho

[@GrungefolkBoy2010]

@@mysticmouse7983 but to offer 2 genders for each character, seems like would increase production/cost too much,imo

I choose characters by what they can do and if they provide a cool back story . I’ve never cared about what restroom they used.
