"15mm Lost Worlds Kickstarter Launched!" Topic

This is a project for 15mm Dinosaurs, Mammals, Adventurers and the new Adventures in the Lost Lands, a Pulp/VSF Adventure game.

Awesome! Looks great!

Also funded.

Congratulations on funding already!

I'm curious: Was this mostly a kickstarter for funding the hardcopy publishing?

For some reason I don't get any sound with the video.

Me neither.

No sound involved. Just a quick blurb.

It's for the rules and the minis. What some KStarters do is set their goal too high and don't reach it so it goes nowhere. Rebel, Acheson and I have committed to make this work so we set it low to subsidize our costs. This way we can also fulfill faster.

Will there be any miniatures that are not already on the market?

Currently there's the Adventurers that are listed first on the current KS, the Natives Stretch Goal, a set of Pugilists, a set of cave women and 4 new adventurers. Ideally these will appear as Stretch Goals if things start to cook.

Future sculpts are also in the works. German soldiers, civilians, and more.

Here is a shot of the natives:

Okay, posted on another related thread but my main question is answered here.

Adventurers? Want? Check.
Cave women? Want? Double Check.
Four new adventurers? Want? Check. (will want to see, of course)
Germans? Want? Check. (and ditto above parenthetical)
Civilians? Want? Double Check.

Maybe some more cave folk, like youngsters and leaders, a camp site (did I see that somewhere in the Kickstarter?)

Now, here is the real need (though there are some suitable items floating around out there in the 15 mm world): ice age animals – wooly mammoths, wooly rhinos, saber tooth tigers, and a variety of others.

And to allow 15 mm pulp to truly unfold we need vehicles (not HO, and not Hot Wheels, actual specially designed vehicles for 15 mm). Cars and trucks that fit the 1910 to 1935 time period. A boat or two, one should be a tug and the other something like the boat from the movie The African Queen, and at least one tramp steamer for the King Kong wanna bees. And then a couple of 1910 to 1935 aeroplanes (as opposed to airplanes!) one of which needs to be something along the lines of the Pan Am Clipper (maybe writ smaller for modeling purposes). And the 'piece de resistance' would be a zeppellin style air vessel (again, probably better if writ small – but not too small).

And more women!!!!!!!!! Femme fatales, heroines, those with questionable morales, damsels in distress, etc.

And I really, really want to see some Polynesian civilians, male and female, younger and older, the common folk and the royals, king and queen, prince and princess. And a war drummer! And a war canoe with crew. And all attired for pre-contact rather covered up by uptight missionary morality.

Not to ask is not to receive. And others are welcome to chime in their support for my ideas. Do I hear another Kickstarter in the nearer future?

Oh, yeah, those things out and coming, they will be available to all at some not too distant point, yes?

Oh, heck, might as well go for broke – how about some musicians and other folks to populate a cabaret, entertainers and customers at their tables, wait staff, etc.? Think Indiana Jones and the scene where we meet Short Round.

No, I never believe in asking for too much.

Just reviewed in depth the Kickstarter and see they do have some of the mammals I wanted and a camp site as a stretch goal. Good.

But the add ons! Priced pretty high in comparison to what you can already buy them for. Not good.

On that aeroplane request above – a plane or two to do the Red Baron (and a Snoopy option as a pilot to shoot him down?!)

I guess, ultimately, I'm glad to see this happening. Just wish it was all about all new figures to go along with the rules. But I don't think they claimed it to be all new anyway.
