Re: [KS] Conan della Monolith
Whilst we are on the subject of scenarios, I thought it would be the perfect moment to make a few things a bit clearer concerning them!
So how many scenarios are there exactly? Well, below is a small breakdown of just how many we have planned for you straight out of the box:
Barbarian plege: 12 scenarios (8 in the scenario booklet + 4 in the scenario booklet that comes with the Map Stretch Goal)
King pledge: 16 scenarios (12 in the scenario booklet + 4 in the scenario booklet that comes with the Map Stretch Goal)
Campaign Book: 19 Scenarios (Requires King pledge)
Khitai Expansion: 4 Scenarios
Stygian Expansion: 4 Scenarios
Now that gives you a total of up to 43 scenarios depending on your pledge. In order to ensure that we meet our shipping deadlines, the printed scenario books will only include scenarios that are ready and have been sufficiently tested. We will then be publishing around 20 other official scenarios on our website. These will use all the unlocked stretch goals as well as the add-ons.
What is this website I speak of? Well it’s simple enough: We know just how important a community is to a game like this. Some of the veterans amongst you will know that games like Heroquest have lived on for years thanks to the hard work and dedication of their fan base. Well, here at Monolith, we don’t want to wait years for this to happen, we want to give you the tools needed to make your own scenarios and share them with the community NOW.
Monolith is going to create a community website that will allow you to do just that. Aside from standard features such as forums and the like, we will also be developing a comprehensive scenario template system that will allow you to create your own adventures and have them automatically set out like the examples given above! Save them, print them, share them with the world.
But that’s not all! We want to have this ready to go with content for when the game launches! How are we going to do that? We are currently preparing FIFTY prototypes of the Conan game, which will be sent out to 50 different gaming clubs around the world. Their mission, should they choose to accept it, will be to develop at least one scenario in the 8 months before the game launches.
Now just to be clear, this is not a stretch goal or anything else. It’s a community tool that is very important to us and we would have developed it regardless of the campaign’s results.
When we include these 50 or so additional scenarios to the first tally, it means that by the time you receive your box, there will be over 100 scenarios ready for you to play.
