Strong-willed sons and daughters of powerful Great Game Hunter houses sometimes find themselves bored of the intricate courtly intrigues they must entertain. These Rogues will eschew the stuffy machinery of the city, turning their attentions to mastering the wilderness beyond. Armed to the teeth and rich with all the advantages of their houses' resources, they set out to live rough, or as rough as nobleman of fine-breeding and plentiful wealth can live.
The amount of effort that has gone into each and every miniature is akin to squeezing a diamond from a lump of coal. Metaphorically speaking, I’m covered in soot, my finger nails are cracked and I’m coughing up black chunks.
I’ve been busy, more busy then I’ve ever been in my life, trying with every ounce of myself to keep the plastic production on track. It has been a huge challenge and has required more of my attention than I anticipated. When I tried to step back, I had to balance it against more lost time or worse yet, a loss of quality and thus, I’ve just had to keep my nose to the grindstone.
I could not step away from the tasks at hand and thus, could not get this update out any sooner. Between preparing it and getting my brain ready to respond to the follow up messages, I decided to finish the time sensitive stuff, and then return to the public surface.
And well... here I am!
The nightmare ram is the living spawn of a parasitic plant. It subsists on the salt of creatures which it metabolizes to power the glowing bulbs that grow atop its tough horns and the large lantern organ on it carries outside its body. They are sensitive, lonesome creatures that carefully cultivate beautiful, hidden gardens containing the plants that produce them. They will often beat trespassers into a pulp and use them as salt-rich fertilizer.
Like any fruit that has been picked, their life span is short.
I am thrilled to introduce the very first Kingdom Death hard plastic kit. As a big thank you to our fans we have decided to launch the kit at an optional discount for the first 48 hours.
Hard Plastic Pinup Collection
Packaged in a deluxe kraft wrapped box printed with original artwork by Lokman Lam. Each box contains remastered hard plastic versions of the first 8 pinups ever released by Kingdom Death and a matte black envelope with an art card for each pinup and a promo Kingdom Death: Monster settlement event card and gear card. Players of the upcoming game may optionally add these fun promo’s to their campaign if their gaming group agrees.

Hello Everyone from Chilly NYC!
The following offerings are available for the next 24 hours:

Late KD:M Backer Pledges
We're celebrating the 1 year anniversary of the incredible kickstarter campaign for Kingdom Death: Monster and by overwhelming popular demand have decide to allow late backer pledges for the next 24 hours only. This will be the last chance to join the backer ranks.
Thank you!
I decided long ago to match fans enthusiasm by offering my absolute best. Today that same decision has led me here. To ensure that the entirety of the project is the absolute best I can offer, I must delay it. Additional time will be spent on play testing, expansions, and plastic production. This includes a return trip to China to oversee the final 2-3 weeks of production in person.
If there is any one to blame for this delay, blame me and my absolute refusal to compromise the quality of Kingdom Death. A brand built entirely by fans and now thousands of backers. I have never before rushed anything to market or compromised the vision for this project.
This kickstarter has been an amazing opportunity for Kingdom Death and we will not squander it by simply rushing to the finish line.
Schedule Update
We are still aiming to hit our target date to begin shipping rewards in november. At this time the manufacturing partners involved have made it their priority to meet our very aggressive timeline. Things will be close as time is tight. As we work as hard as possible, If I feel the quality of the game or its components will suffer in any way, I will let you know and we can decide if we should delay it or not. While I feel that maintaing our timeline is of the utmost importance, Anna has reminded me several times that actually you, the backers, are the most important and that no one wants anything to be rushed.
We are very excited to partner with Kingdom Death to bring our two brutal worlds together with the Pinup Twilight Knight's descent into Hell.
This amazing Special Edition figure re-imagines the Pinup Twilight Knight as she would manifest in the realms of Hell Dorado.
The concept art was illustrated by legendary artist Bertand Benoit (Rackham & Helldorado) with some key art direction provided by Lokman Lam (the artist behind the Pinup Twilight Knight). Sculpting this beautiful figure will be the famous Thomas David.

Hello everyone!
New article in Kingdom Death, Monster's serie. Today here's the second monster; the Dungle Beetle Knight!
This impressive miniature have been very fun to do, especially the aspect of the armor.
It is 68 mm tall ( at the top of the horn) and have been made with Fimo and Magic sculpt putty.
Stay tuned!
We are in the very final hours of the campaign and my mind is just blown.
This campaign had shattered all of my expectations. Thank you to all the backers, all my friends and this amazing community for making my tiny man dreams come true!
BOOOMM!!!! The 700k barrier has been shattered and we still have 19 days to go! Is this starting to get crazy or is it just me?!
Please welcome Spidicules! Chop of its legs, steal its egg sacks, start your own spider silk farm and chase your pets around the house! ( your real life pets, no sorry there are no pets in KDM as humans are you know… bottom of the food chain etc )
This Major Game Expansion includes everything you'll need to add Spidicules to your campaign and includes the new Spider Silk Armor Miniature Kit. Enough parts to make 2 unique male and 2 unique female models! The Expansion will retail for $65 and you can add it to your rewards by increasing your pledge by +$40.
We reached 600k and have unlocked an upgrade for the Lion Knight expansion, which now additionally includes : Ash, Ryan & Sam miniatures, extra AI cards, Extra hit locations cards, extra gear cards, a miniature lion claw that is compatible with the armor miniature kits a one shot challenge scenario and a rulebook upgrade covering the Lions Court. I am very happy we managed to add these as it gives me the development room to further explore the Lion Knight's unique character and potential relationships with the survivors.
And so on this day... the impossible has been reached and we are stepping into the lands beyond rational possibility! Half a Million Dollars have been pledged to this kickstarter and I my pants will never be the same again.
There is just so much to say, so much to share, feelings, game insight, miniatures and special rules that I can't even begin to find the words at the moment.
So please, instead of me babbling on, just look at the pretty pictures. It is much more coherent then I am at the moment. I am so excited I don't even know how I am typing this up
475k Went down fast, much faster then I anticipated! I had just finished my round of communication on the few forums where people are talking about KD:M and BOOM. You guys blow the door off and I'm scrambling to put this HUGE update together!
The Man Hunter is a nemesis monster. If you add him to your campaign not only will he show up at your settlement for his nefarious reasons he will also sometimes track a particular Survivor, to represent this he has a few special event cards that get scattered into various places. If your really unlucky he might even show up while your fighting another monster! ( don't worry he'll either just kill you outright or wait his turn... )
I forgot just how long video editing takes! This should give you a very solid idea of what to expect during the showdown phase of monster. Please excuse any editing / spelling mistakes as I worked on it like crazy to get it finished in time. I've been getting everyones messages and I LOVE it!
I thought it would be fun to add this! If we hit 420k The Adam & Anna kickstarter exclusives are getting an upgrade! A one shot challenge scenario will be added to the rulebook, and a bonus copy of each of their heads, modified to be compatible with the armor kits will also be included with them!
The Dragon King is a major content expansion that adds a whole new huge monster, new armor kit ( 2 male and 2 female as usual ), rules, AI cards, hit location cards, new special resources, settlement events, innovations gear and new lore to the game. Everything you will need to step up and challenge this dangerous entity.
