Fountain pens are less scooping, and more frequent dipping. It could be that there was not enough ink at the bottom of the jar (couldn't tell how much was actually included). Very much enjoyed that chaos of that segment. 🤣 Looking Forward to your first impressions.

Interesting to hear you praise the aesthetic of this one. I find it really, really unappealing-to the point that I'd prefer not to look at or interact with those miniatures at all. The gameplay sounds pretty interesting, with comboing character abilities. I watched one and a half playthroughs so far that make me much less excited. But if I do decide to back, it'll almost certainly be for the miniatures-free version. I also don't like the oversized, chunky miniatures. I much prefer standard sizes so that I can use them in wargames/miniatures games like Frostgrave, Five Leagues from the Borderlands, Lasting Tales, etc.

is there an official pronunciation somewhere where awaken realms pronounces it as grim "Cove-in" insead of "Cuv-in"? several people have pronounced it that way, but not how the actual word is pronounced.

I generally like Awaken Realms boardgames (I own 3 I think), but I think their minis are all the same. Not in shape of course, since all of them are fundamentally different, but the style and amount of detail is generally the same, and I find them to be "too much". I guess all of them are sculpted by the same sculptor and the style doesn't sit with me. For example, I had huge problems to paint the character minis for Nemesis, because they had a clutter of unnecessary details. And resin doesn't make it nicer. These minis here look like a mix of Vanguard, Lords of Hellas, Nemesis, all kinda the same :/
