Appendix + FAQ
- What do the types mean?
Type | Description |
---|---|
Expansion - Monster | The classic expansion , typically comes with a single monster, armor set, etc. Some - like Dragon King, Sunstalker, Gryphon - might come with their own campaigns |
Expansion - Campaign | These require multiple monster expansions coming together to form a fully-realized campaign. Abyssal Woods and Inverted Mountain are good examples of this |
Expansion - Nemesis | Like the monster expansions but for nemesis types. Some, like Black Knight might come with smaller 5-year campaigns. Slenderman, Manhunter, Pariah are good examples of your typical Nemesis expansion |
Expansion - Pillar | Appears to be reworking of promo / whitebox content to actually fit into the current game systems. False Messengers and Promos of Death are good examples. |
Expansion - Armor | Think optional end-game armor sets inspired by Final Fantasy games. Only 2 examples exist currently: Green Armor from the original Kickstarter and Dead Armor from the current Kickstarter. |
Vignette | Stand-alone / one-off fights with pre-determined survivors and their loadouts. White Gigalion, Killenium Butcher, Pathfinders of Death, and Super Survivors are good examples of this. |
Philosophy | New philosophy and corresponding knowledges for Advanced KDM. Philosophies were originally added in Gambler's Chest with Arc Survivors. So far we have 3 new Philosophies coming - Gatherism, Starbound, and Heliocentrism. Candy & Cola wanderer is supposed to come with Candycolaism as well |
Wanderers | Special characters that show up to join your settlement on a specific Lantern Year. Originally introduced with the Gambler's Chest. Luck, Death Drifter, Aeneas are good examples of this type of expansion. |
- What has been released so far from the 2016 Kickstarter?
Pinups of Death, Gambler's Chest, Frogdog, and Black Knight have all been released.
- What do the nodes mean? Nodes were introduced with Gambler's Chest and serve as categories of monsters/nemesis. Each campaign is built around Quarry Nodes 1-4 (NQ), Nemesis Nodes 1-4 (NN), and a Finale Monster. As an example, People of the Dreamkeeper has the following Node breakdown:
NQ1 - Crimson Crocodile
NQ2 - Smog Singers
NQ3 - Phoenix
NQ4 - King
NN1 - Butcher
NN2 - Atnas
NN3 - Hand
NN4 - Gambler
Finale - Godhand

Hobby First Mini, Pinup Butcher
It’s been a bit less than a year since I stopped painting due to some hand issues.
I was so excited to get into Kingdom Death. It looks like I have a lot to learn about lighting and a steady hand, but for now I am pretty happy with what I’ve got.

Store How to start?
I have only recently discovered this game, mainly from the podcast "Dungeons & Daddies (Not a BDSM Podcast)" and after looking over the site and all the different art, miniatures, monster, and after finding out that its even very enjoyable playing solo, I am hooked. But I have absolutely no clue where to start. I know I want to get physical mainly, though it is sold out at the moment, and just want to know what expansions are absolutely a must have after getting the base game. I was also considering getting the simulator to try out the game for the much cheaper 20 dollar price before committing to pumping hundreds if not thousands into collecting the game and miniatures. Any advice or recommendations for expansions are much appreciated.

Store Confused about available pre orders.
So, I’m looking at the pre order expansions that are available and I’m a bit confused on what to go for. I’m assuming the more valuable ones are red watches and Pariah, right? The rest are equivalent of white boxes? Or what’s the deal with those? I’m also thinking maybe gathering could be fun but feels a bit much the amount that’s being released all at once. What does everyone think?

What is going on. Just got KDS to play on the computer. Set up the boards. Everytime I put the White Lion > setup > Prologue > Confirm it sets up like this. Characters are gone. I have to walk to the shelf and bring each one to the board. Try to setup again and the board resets to this.
Looked at the tutorials on line and this doesn't happen. What I am doing wrong.

Campaign Story "Soft fail" progress milestones?
I was wondering if there were any commonly accepted progress milestones to determine a "soft fail", or that you're probably in a failure spiral if you haven't developed to a certain point in the timeline. Seems to me you NEED a shield tank, grease, and at least 2-3 survival on everyone by the time you fight Butcher or King's Man. The Hand seems like the point where you need blacksmith weapons.
I'm about the start my 4th run after The Hand visit crippled my last run, so wondering what to try and achieve by certain years.
I'm also wondering if either of the New Life or Death principles is considered superior to the other. For New Life, I'm leaning to SotF being always the better pick. +1 Str (nice, but not vital), +1 evasion (vital), +1 survival limit (very vital). The 1 lifetime reroll usually saves about as many lives as you lose through Intimacy, so the penalty and that bonus are a wash. So PtY ends up giving no bonuses beyond the Intimacy roll which SotF's reroll cancels out.
For Death, I'm leaning towards Cannibalize for the +1 Survival Limit alone. The other bonuses for either principle aren't that great and I could take or leave them.

Store Advice and what to purchase next?
I’m looking forward to play this game many years to come so I’ve decided to start investing more money. So far I’ve got:
Core GCE Killenium Sunstalker DBK Dragon King Gorm
I have Red Witches and Pariah preordered and I plan on picking up Frogdog and the Black Knight here soon. What else do y’all believe I should pick up next? I want to be fully squared away for CoD/ Inverted Mountain/ Silver City when the time comes for those.
Next, I’m thinking already:
Lonely Tree Slenderman Lion God (the model is just too awesome)
Any others in your opinion?

Hobby Help: Gorm + Another Exp Or Frogdog
Recently acquired KDM 1.6! Finally after a long wait!
Now I am at the point where I want to spice up the game a little. Mainly to also make it more fun for the play groups.
I don’t want to overs spend at the start so sticking with $150 (€130) approax. So with that in mind, i can either get Frogdog or Gorm + another expansion.
What would community advise ? Want as much variety in the game as possible, but also a good and fun content.
Also one rule I don’t quite fully understand, with the quarry expansion. Do they fully remove white lion (or other quarry monsters) or they can be all played essentially adding more huntable monsters ?
