Would you be interested if the Celtos Dark Age Fantasy game was relaunched with a Kickstarter and additional factions?

*only if Kev does the sculpts again
*what is Celtos?

Are we talking about the cricket bat sized sword welding figures? Some of those were nice and while I would not care so much for the Celtos game system, some of those figures would be fun for Dragon Rampant.

I'd actually be far more interested in seeing a revamp of Chronopia.

It was a huge and near-complete line already, so no.

The figures were decent, never did play the game.

No interest in a kickstarter.

Thought it was still available from Brigade Models?

The Celtos game mechanic was just VOID 1.1 set to fantasy instead of sci-fi, and nothing wrong with it – easy to learn, one size die (d10), AWESOME Kev sculpts.

Never make the rulebook even "slightly" difficult to read due to font choice, no matter how thematic it may seem.

The first printing had this runic style font that was difficult to get used to, the second printing got rid of it, but support in more books was not timely.

Only one faction (Gaels) got their own faction book; the values were well thought out and thorough, but now all the other factions (who only had points from the Core book) needed to scale up to that same level of completeness to be competitive.

The Vanir were never really fleshed out as a force figure-wise. Unique sculpts they have 3 crossbow, 3 melee, 3 spearmen and a bunch of hero figs. A lot of repetition to field a warband there.

I say we need a, "YES, if they promise not to use a thematic font this time, and expand the Vanir line," option.

Yes if the KS was done similar to how Reaper handles theirs.

I have always liked the minis, but never got round to getting more than a couple of them that fell into my lap.

I'd say I would jump in and back a KS at some level, IF Kev was sculpting.

I would toss a C-note or more at a Chronopia relaunch, IF the minis were not made by whoever jacked up the new Warzone.

Yes please

magokiron29 May 2016 8:09 a.m. PST

Never played the game, but the minis looked fantastic.

I may jump to a KS if the price is right AND if Kev sculpts more minis for the line.

Best wishes.

No. With all respect to Kev White's excellent sculpting skills, the design briefings involved big burly fake Scotsmen in kilts, sporrans and ironing board swords. It was the stupidest possible take on Celtic mythology.

Weren't the rules published in a white ink on green background?

joshuaslater31 May 2016 9:29 a.m. PST

Is this coming from the folks at Brigade Models? I would probably get in on this.

'Twas the style at the time. Chronopia was very dark grey on just regular dark grey.

And I trimmed back my swords to cricket bat-sized. IMO, Kev's one of the few who can get away with over-the-top. I could take or leave the 'mythology'.

I'm another in this boat:
"if Kev does the sculpts again
*I'd actually be far more interested in seeing a revamp of Chronopia."
Who owns the rights to Chronopia these days?
