"And they sang as they slew, for the joy of battle was upon them." - Tolkien, The Ride of the Rohirrim Our last update (maybe, we promise), is the Slaughterfield Supplement Pack. It contains three separate Slaughterfield Decks. These decks can only... (Read More)

We have climbed the mountain quite high today. With plenty of time left, Marcus better be ready. The Torchbearer is a KS exclusive figure. He follows the party around and provides a passive buff. He will also sacrifice his own fire for a Hero,... (Read More)

Myth and Kingdom Death are proud to present the Twilight Knight Mini-boss. Kingdom Death is a nightmare horror board game with highly detailed, beautiful 35mscale miniatures. They really set the bar high for both miniatures and Kickstarters.  Early... (Read More)

Here are the next two stretch goals. The first are 10 KS exclusive quests. These use KS exclusive miniatures, including the mini-bosses. I am pretty proud of these. I think they tie the whole KS (including many of the in-jokes) experience together... (Read More)

For Glory! We unlocked extra Minions, Rat bosses, Captains, Cyclops, and a Minotaur! Congratulations to you, our backers! We have more stretch goals coming in the next hour or so, followed by more later this morning. We have a few more surprises up... (Read More)

Congrats on blazing past 400k! I just had a chance to update the unlocked image on the front page, and we're nearly halfway to the next goal already. Crazy!! As an aside, here are a few new avatars from today's set of add-ons.  (Read More)

Finally, we think using Conner as a stretch reward for 3000 backers idea was brilliant. If we don't hit it, he will be available as a add-on in the pledge manager. He is more than a mini-boss, however. He will be about the size of a Captain. His... (Read More)

I would like to introduce the last Hero on this amazing journey, the Spriggan. The Spriggan model is unique to KS, but the deck used is not. The Deck will be used in the far off future for the Druid. The Spriggan deck will not have a video; we simply... (Read More)

Congratulations on 375k. We'll put the update up soon. We also have some other extras to put up today. We only need to decide about Conner. Do you want him as a Stretch Goal or an Add-on? He is a mini-boss with a special quest card. He will be a KS... (Read More)

Interjections, for excitement or emotion....RATS! With achieving the 350k stretch, a new faction of The Darkness has been unleashed: RATS! Below is a rundown of how many rat minions and captains you will receive, Captain pledge and above. The Pledge... (Read More)

We just hit 2,000 backers on MYTH! A very MASSIVE thank you to everyone who is supporting us on this project. With the Orc Boss unlocked over night (our time :-), we aim for the new set of world tiles. Right now the Brian and Kenny are on the ground... (Read More)

Congrats to everyone on the previously unlocked sculpted Lairs goal. Let's get that Orc Boss! To accommodate those who want double Lairs, you can now add an extra set of (4) Lairs for 8 bucks! They are located at the bottom of the Optional Purchases... (Read More)

Amazing run! Four stretch goals in four days! Myth just broke the 275k mark and all backers Captain level and above receive sculpted Lairs and traps. You'll get one of each Lair for enemy-types that are in the base game or we unlock through stretch... (Read More)

This weekend and into next week, us local backers are going to put the pledge manager through its paces. It is ready, and just needs to be tested and everything made clear for anyone and everyone. What will happen when the KS ends?  We will send out... (Read More)

Here are some sketches for the unlocked Alternate Genders Stretch Goal. We have the 5 base classes including the Trickster. We always start with the posing and work in details through a second and third pass.  (Read More)

We want to do everything we can to supply our players with the tools to enjoy the game in front of them. We have been working on localization with potential partners for the last few weeks.  It gives us great pleasure to announce that, in addition... (Read More)

Received a few more updates today on the sculpting and wanted to share. The Brigand is starting to show a few more details. I can't wait to see him when he's finished. Also a few images of the some of the larger Captains and a Mini-Boss models.... (Read More)

Nothing to show at this moment, but something just as important. A sincere, thank you. That was an awesome 24 hours. In a short time, we unlocked BOTH the Trickster and the Elementals. To be this deep into the Kickstarter and have our second best day... (Read More)

We're making great headway towards those Elementals! Congrats on the Trickster unlock today as well :-) Here are a whole bunch of new batch of avatars for ya. We wanted to give the monsters some love too. Additionally, Chris has updated the the... (Read More)

So this morning, we have a bunch of new stuff. First, we've revealed the next five stretch goals: Orc Boss, new tiles, rats, Minion stretch 2, and the Rat Boss. We brought the Rats down a bit, so we could include them in the extra Minions. We've also... (Read More)

First off! Congrats on unlocking the 175k (Alternate Gender Heroes) Stretch Goal yesterday. Amazing!!! The Trickster is in site now :-) Second, we have two more videos. The final Extended Gameplay video: And, we have a short video discussing the... (Read More)

New stuff in the Optional Purchases! First and foremost we have the Skald Hero, whose gameplay video was just posted. An amazing new character with a very cool play style. Second, we've added a brand new set of minions and captains, the Rats! Third,... (Read More)

Have you ever wanted to be a warrior-poet? I don't get into a lot of details on the exact nature of what each phrase does. Instead, I wanted to dwell on the mechanics of creating phrases. I consider the Skald as one of my finer moments. The Skald... (Read More)

When we last left our intrepid Heroes we are getting ready to enter the last tile. This last tile was set up so you, the backers, might see how many Minions a double Lair tile can spawn. I think we got up to 21 and 2 Captains. However, we barely... (Read More)

Hey Myth Backers,  We wanted to give a heads up to the Zpocalypse team. Head on over to http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/greenbriergames/zpocalypse-aftermath-this-time-the-living-are-risi to show some support.  We’ve been in touch with Jeff.... (Read More)

Here are some more progress images from the sculptors. From these photos you will get a great idea of just how beefy the Orc Captain looks standing next to a Hero. Also there are some cool shots displaying the sizes of the Mini-bosses. The exclusive... (Read More)

The next two videos find us wrapping up the first tile and moving through a very dangerous hallway. You also get a peek of what is to come in the last tile. I talk a little too much in certain places, sorry. I wanted to touch on some of those things... (Read More)

Per Retailer requests, we have changed the Retail level to only include the base game.  the Myth Team  (Read More)

So we sat down and played some Myth. I tried to remain quiet and not make it a teaching session. This is an example of how the game plays. This is a stationary camera on the game. In these videos you won't get to see what choices the players are... (Read More)

The final update for today is one I am very pleased to pass on.  European orders will be shipped from within Europe, Germany to be specific. This means the VAT penalties associated with shipping Myth from the United States won't be an issue. the... (Read More)

So, the images on the main page have been updated. Here is what you need to know: we've given certain pledge levels more stuff. We also can't change the language of the pledges as they exist in the system. The images and this update is correct. We... (Read More)

Next up....the Soldier pledge level has been eliminated.  In addition, the Trickster level has a reduced price (2k). There are some additional items within the pledge: the alternate gender Heroes in Metal (all painted by BTP), and Captains in... (Read More)

Hello, The first update today comes in the form of the creation of a RETAIL only pledge level. This pledge level is available only to stores. Any backer at this level will be verified as an actual store before the package is mailed. This pledge level... (Read More)

Hello, First off, we want to thank you guys for your assistance in getting this project funded. As we said earlier, we try to listen and create for the customers the game they want (as long as we can feasibly do it). In this case, I think we show... (Read More)

So, here is the Trickster. I truly hope we get to him. He is a fascinating Hero to play. Certainly, one of the more difficult ones.   (Read More)

So the Razorfiend KS exclusive mini-boss is still pretty early, but you get the general feel for him. Likewise the base game mini-boss (Grudt) is a bit further along. The Brigand is still early, but taking shape nicely. And the Apprentice's pose is... (Read More)

Finally, the Brigand emerges from the Shadows.  (Read More)

Nice easy informational video on the Hero board. I am sure most of you figured out most of this already. It is very intuitive. One of the many strengths of Keith's designs.  (Read More)

Today's Heroine: the Archer.  (Read More)

Those backers interested will find the Myth base game tiles (those found in the standard game) have been added to additional items for purchase. We had a lot of people request these so Keith busted them out. Thanks Keith!  (Read More)

We have gone ahead and added 1 Class T-shirt to the Lair pledge level. Keith is working on the image change now. We wanted to make it more valuable to those who want to support Myth, but not get the game (but why wouldn't you want the game!?!). ... (Read More)

Here is a larger version of the double sided 6x6 Campfire/Inn tile. This is where the Heroes begin their story. These have a bit more work needed, just to tighten them up a little more, but they are very close. There will be a big focus on the mood... (Read More)

Today we visit the Apprentice!  (Read More)

It's difficult to find a cooperative dungeon crawl adventure that doesn't require one of the players to play against their friends as the dungeon master, crypt keeper, or overlord. I'm very excited to see that MERCS Miniatures is Kickstarting a new fully-cooperative board game called Myth. (Read More)

There are plenty of games out there where you get to play a hero, but many of them already have their own histories that you are continuing with. The makers of MERCS have announced a Kickstarter for a cooperative fantasy miniatures gamed called MYTH, in which you create your hero’s legend. Choosing from different hero classes, players dive head-first into a world that needs their help, and allow them to make names for themselves in this world in the process. Supporting 2-5 players, MYTH enables each hero the ability to take down minions and even enemy captains on their own with specialized decks, but become powerful allies when teamed up with other heroes to take down bosses that befall your party. (Read More)
