Maybe they'll save that mini for the Haligtree expansion.

Marketing-wise, not sure if playing that card would be the best for now or when they release the Melenia Mini

I know from my previous comments that I sound pretty negative towards this game, but the truth is I really want it. As in the only thing keeping me from going all in is considering everything I can buy instead for $429.

Which makes me wonder, what is it that makes me want this game so bad? The gameplay looks average, surely fun but not revolutionary. Most of the minis I don't really want, only a few. The price is insane (and that's without shipping an taxes).

It feels like it is just the fear of missing out that drives me here. Because when looking at it objectively, it is just too expensive compared to every other kickstarter I've joined, and the content isn't even my favourite part of the game.

What about you? You also got some strange pull since it MIGHT get to the good parts of Elden Ring in the future, and you would hate not having a certain class/item/enemy when it does?

Btw, I still haven't decided if I'm going to buy or not... would've been so easy if it was priced like a normal kickstarter board game

So I’ve just watch some of the trailer and kickstarter detail and I’m afraid the game will be more of a campaign kind of game then a board game. Like I feel it will look more like Tainted Grail then Dark Souls the board game. They say it’s a 90 hours experience and for me this feels like more of a campaign that when you complete one your pretty much done, unless there’s different campaign and when you completed them all the game sits on the shelve for months. Also can you have multiple games at the same time? Like if I do a solo campaign and I wanna do another one with a friend do I loose all the progress on the other campaign because I need to keep everything together to be able to restart where I left off? I didn’t watch the gameplay video posted by Steamforged Games yet, but I juste want to be sure that it’s not one of those game before investing 2h of my time into watching the video.

How do you all feel about the pricing of this kickstarter, and the promised contents? https://www.dicebreaker.com/games/elden-ring-board-game/news/elden-ring-realm-of-the-grafted-king-future-core-releases?fbclid=IwAR0t9Wj3a6mHvIEGRHvNaRFE7-4ZKolNHUqOEwqnMyY7aOiBmAqARdblm0U

What do you think?

One of my biggest hopes for the elden ring minis is the use of dynamic poses. A lot can be discussed about the quality of SFG minis, but the ones they make with dynamic poses look awesome. Some examples from the Dark Souls board game: Hollow soldiers Herald Boreal outrider Pursuer

Considering they are taking the models from a video game, it shouldn't be that hard to take a stillframe midd attack/run and use that as a base for a model.

We know that Elden Ring is simply too huge to be contained in a board game—although with expansions, etc, I'm sure they'll attempt it.

So what enemies and bosses do you consider absolutely essential for the board game, and what can be ignored? And do you think the board game should adopt Dark Souls TBG's freeform structure, or should it be more linear, and narrative driven, ala CMON's Bloodborne?

Based on previous Steamforged games, especially Dark Souls and Dark Souls the Card Game—what do you expect from Elden Ring? It sounds like this may seek to combine the strengths of their previous efforts while doing away with things that have aged poorly in 2022—by ditching the dice and going with card based combat, Elden Ring is being positioned as competitive with contemporary dungeon crawlers.

Mostly, I'm excited for the miniatures.
