Welcome to “Gaming News from Neoscream”. This is my
weekly gaming news post for miniature games, RPGs, some card games and computer
games.
“Gaming News”
First off is the Cool Mini or Not news. The
Zombicide Season Three KickStarter has now finished. It has made $2,849,064 and
has 12,011 backers. moved up to sixth (may be fifth or better by time you read
this) place in the top twenty non-computer KickStarter game.
The stretch goals that have been unlocked since the
last post: The Zombie version of the survivor Yuri added to both pledge levels;
the Zombie version of the survivor Curro will come with the Human version
add-on; both the Human and Zombie versions of Spencer added to both pledge
levels; both the Human and the Zombie version of the survivor Kris as an
add-on; a Folding Dice Tower added to both pledge levels; and both the Human
and the Zombie version of the survivor Miss Trish as an add-on; both the Human
and Zombie versions of Kabir added to both pledge levels; and in Rue Morgue the
classic red dice are being replaced by yellow dice with bullets instead of
dots.
So here are the two pledge levels by the end of the
KickStarter.

| Mantic's Dumgeon Saga is coming to KickStarter on Monday the 4th |
Patient 0: Everything
from Infected plus Angry Neighbours and both the Zombie and Human version of
the LE Survivor Audrey.
With Arcadia Quest we got a game play video of the
expansion Beyond the Grave.
Next is the Mantic news. After posting last week’s
post Mantic revealed the date and full name of their next KickStarter. "Dungeon
Saga: Dwarf King's Quest" will be starting KickStarter on the 4th of
August. On Monday (the day it was meant to start shipping) Mantic stated that
wave two of Deadzone will starts shipping next week, however on yesterday a
post came up saying that has just started shipping. Also the PDF rules for the
Mars Attacks game has been sent to call backers.
Now for the Ninja Division news. The Robotech
Academy KickStarter will have one or two new Robotech RPG Tactics figures based
on the new cartoon. Sadly in does not look like it will be funded in time, but
we will have to wait and see.
Next is the Privateer Press news. As I have not
heard of any word on the second wave of July’s releases, I do not know if they
are already out or they have been delayed to August for some reason. I have the
feeling that there are already out. For those who want to know what is in the
second wave, these should be: the Protectorate Epic Warcaster Battle Engine
Servath Reznik the Wrath of Ages, the Trollblood Character Heavy Warbeast
“Dozer and Smigg”, and the Hordes High Command expansion pack “Gargantuan
Might”, the Zombiez Keep Out expansion “Night of the Noxious Dead” and issue 55
of No Quarter Magazine.
Now for the Stonehaven Miniatures. They have sent
out PDF prototypes of some of their Pop-Up Terrain to backers of the
KickStarter.
Next is the Battle System news. The KickStarter
stuff has arrived at their warehouse dead on time. So it is going as planned.
Also the Fantasy Dungeon Terrain will hopefully start on the 20th of
August.
Now for some other gaming news. Beasts of War have
been doing a Infinity Operation Icestorm week this week to celebrate Infinity's
first ever starter box game Operation Icestorm and the new 3rd Edition rules
that will come with it. The revised rules look great and the new figures
awesome. I am considering getting the starter, but money might and number of
games I already have (and getting) might be a problem.

game and had some gaming miniatures in it as rewards.
