Ooo 40mm squares eh.

Yup, 40mm. It looks epic, and pretty much anything will fit on a single square.

You could place fighting models in den the same square.

Possible, but woud contradict the very purpose of this board, i.e. to prevent the crowding that sometime occurs on the original.

Indeed, the bigger spaces stop minis getting in the way of each other, and allow larger minis to be used, while still having each mini in a single space.

I've a full set of overlays in the same scale. I have my Heroes and character monsters mounted on 40mm bases, which set them off beautifully.

My sentiments exactly as anyone actually reading my posts will know. I printed out a double square corridor version of the board in 40mm squares and it is indeed epic to play on it. One average empty room is enough to put all treasure card decks in for everyone to reach. And another for Body and Mind point counters.
Now here's what I'll have to build myself if nobody makes them for me: 40mm cubic blocking rocks and some doubles, of course, though one could also simply put two next to each other.

Actually, i was thinking about making one room one single field. Everybody is in combat contact if he is in the same field.
Corridors have smaller fields, like 4x1 of the today's squares.
The small rooms (3x2) are one single small field,
the bigger rooms have 4x4 or 4x5 squares as "one field" maximum.
You can only put inside what is fitting. Everything that doesn't fit, just doesn't fit; which is also true for movement. Shooting is by true line of sight, including cover.

This way, a big room feels spacy, a small room or corridor feels crowdy, the base size does matter but fits in nearly any case, and very important, no-one needs to change the scale of the furniture.

Bah, ok, it's a topic for the house rule sub forum. I was playtesting it 2 times in a Sci Fi minatures boardgame, and it really provides a nice feeling for the "spacyness" of a room. You really feel it.
The disadvantage is, however, that you need to change the complete movement rules. It's not a loss. For my point of view, the original movement rules are... erm... not very good.

Hi everyone!

I'm really really interested in the TC KS - so much so that I'm cancelling my pledge to GZ for the HQ25 project.

I have a couple of questions:

It looks like the "Dungeon Keeper" is the way to go if you want to get enough stuff to run HQ and replace all your cardboard... BUT the completionist looks like the best deal for variety & in getting all the add-ons.

I'll have about 150Euro to throw around post-refund..

What do I need to buy? I see a bunch of ppl posting about the expansions and bits that should be added for stretch goals.

Is there a list of items that need to be added on to get a full HQ set?

What size squares are these furniture pieces designed to work on?

Thanks everyone!

Now THAT is the greatest thing I've read in a while! Welcome back, sydcomeback!

Hi Sydcomebak, If you are after a HQ furniture swap-out, then the Classic dungeon Dweller level may suit you best. Its also comes with all Tier 2 stretch goals free. If you want additional things, you could add more GOLD to it to pick what you wanted

[Sydcomebak]

Ok, I guess I'll have to go through piece-by-piece and figure this out... Hmmmm.

Also, what size squares? 25mm? 30mm?
