Reply To: Beyond the Monolith? Confusion!?!

@pafetikbazerka you hit the nail on the head.  The intention sounded like it was to breath new life into existing games by offering a new way to play with them.  And ultimately perhaps allow you to cross over between games.  What was sold was a new game but the only way in was to buy a truck load of miniatures that were the same as the ones I already own, thus dooming my existing miniatures to the very fate that BtM was trying to avoid – miniatures sat in boxes never seeing the light of day.

To be honest reuse has always driven my decision to back games. If I am going to lay out a large sum of money for some miniatures I want to know I have multiple uses lined up for them.  Could I use them in other tabletop skirmish games or RPGs.  If the answer is yes then I am more likely to back.  At the same time, that also makes me less likely to buy something twice – I want to get the maximum use of what I have, not keep buying more of the same.  So actually not being able to use my Conan miniatures in Beyond the Monolith skirmish games really isn’t going to doom my miniatures to a life sat in a box not being played with.

@limburger I hope its isn’t a dead horse, I hope they listen to what people are saying and come back with a new plan to bring the skirmish mode to the tabletop
