MOB Posted January 20, 2017 Author Share Posted January 20, 2017 Update: Khan of Khans has passed 600 backers and is closing on the next Stretch Goal at 23K. So we've outlined the next couple of Stretch Goals after that, or as Rick so deftly put it to the backers, "additional treasures and riches await to tempt our assembled raiders". Sounds better than stretch goals, but here they are nonetheless: $23,000 (mere hoofbeats away!) - GRACEFUL VISTAS (WALLPAPERS) A deceptively useful and formidable collection of downloadable wallpapers will be created from Ian O'Toole's playful Khan of Khans art! Use these to tempt and taunt your friends when they will inevitably ask "that's cool/cute, what is it?" $26,000 - DEDICATED KHAN OF KHANS FORUM AT BRP CENTRAL We will set up a dedicated forum for Khans of Khans at BRP Central, the Chaosium Forums. Here you can boast of your record raiding of cows, tally the numbers of foes vanquished, playfully taunt your rivals or gain secret inner knowledge from other legendary Khans (yes, here). $29,000 - WINNER'S TOKEN We will create a special token which denotes which player is current Khan of Khans. Win the first game and claim the prize. In the next game, as the premier warlord of Prax, you get first pick of the Khan cards and can choose to go first to claim your rightful first pick of targets. We also have this clarification: A REMINDER: TRIBAL WAR BANDS We regrettably did not make it crystal clear that ALL Tribal War Band Backers will get their names immortalized in the Khan of Khans rule book. To help make up for this, we are working on a nifty bonus reward for each Tribal War Band that fills to capacity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOB Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) Great article in Geek & Sundry about the game! "Reiner Knizia, the epochal board game designer who has won enough gaming awards to sink a boat, has a new game on Kickstarter that you need to know about." Geek & Sundry says our new cow-stealing game Khan of Khans is "udderly fantastic" http://geekandsundry.com/god-of-board-games-new-kickstarter-project-udderly-fantastic/ Edited January 21, 2017 by MOB 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOB Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 Oh no! - over on the Khan of Khans Kickstarter it pains my heart to see that the Count of the Sun Dome has apparently defected to the nomads! (In other words, that backer changed their pledge level, and Count of the Sun Dome Lands backer slot is available again) In other news, Sandy Petersen was happy for it be known the backer for the Dark Mistress of the Council of Elders, leader of the Uz in Shadow's Dance, is none other than his wife, Wendy. Confirmation of who's really pulling the strings at Petersen Games... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOB Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 Update: ACHIEVED: $32,000 - AN INTRO MAP FOR FURTHER INSPIRATION Many backers are keen to know more about the world of Glorantha, especially the area of Prax and Dragon Pass where the game takes place. Even though it isn't a part of the game, we know many people love very visual maps with lots of wonderfully evocative detail. All Backers from $9 shaman level on up will receive an introductory PDF map of Dragon Pass. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g33k Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 On 1/26/2017 at 1:54 AM, MOB said: Yes, but after the Kickstarter. Cool. I'll be looking into this, for sure! The sample you published appears to be a part of the actual map to be produced, is that correct? I think this because of snip'age of edge details, such as seeing ".RSH" (presumably "TARSH") in the upper left; the "Ivory Plinth" pictogram being cut off on the top edge; and similar anomalies in other places...

MOB Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 The dust cloud shows that with just over three days left in our Kickstarter, almost 1000 backers have already joined our nomad horde on the Plains of Prax. You can back the full KHAN OF KHANS game for just $20, and it's from two of the best known names in tabletop design (Reiner Knizia and Greg Stafford).

All Backers from $9 shaman level on up will receive an introductory PDF map of Dragon Pass. I love this map, it totally captures that limbic flavour of the old RQ2 map of Dragon Pass & Prax, yet is coloured and updated. Looks like it is the same one used in HQG. Not only will I get a physical copy when it is released, this is also the one I'm holding out for on a coffee mug from Redbubble!

After the G2G and CoC 7E it feels like Moon Design/Chaosium have the Midas Touch. I read somewhere that Chaosium is now described as the "most loved indie game company" (I guess anything sounds Indie if it's not WotC, Paizo, or Games Workshop these days). I think the original concepts of both The Mythos and Glorantha still hold fascination, and the dedication of Moon Design/Chaosium to bring these settings to life with such passion and quality is what people are responding to. Both of these settings have been presented with equal measures of gritty realism and quirky humour, so there is wide appeal here.

MOB Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 (edited) Update: 1000 Backers! And this Geeknative article Glorantha's Khan of Khans Conquers Kickstarter actually says: "The nature of the beast means there’s no such thing as a ‘safe Kickstarter’ but Khan of Khans is complete, just waiting for the Kickstarter campaign to finish before going to the printers, it has more than 300% of target in funds and is being managed by Chaosium." A Kickstarter "managed by Chaosium" is now seen as a plus? Wow, that is turn-around and a compliment that Rick and the Chaosium team can take a great deal of pride in.
