Banquet for Fools - party-based RTwP in Serpent of the Staglands setting - now available on Early Access

[Infinitron]

Is this supposed to be the expansion that was funded by the original Kickstarter backers as shown in the image

Yes.

 

[Lhynn]

Will there be some kind of patch or something to make the base game turn based?

No, the base game seems to be finished - no more changes, no more patches, as far as I know. The "expansion" is totally separate.

Is this totally stand-alone? Why is everyone calling it a expasion then?

Will it be TB as their new game?

To my understanding it uses most if not all of the systems of their new game.

Stand alone expansions were a thing back in the day men.

This seems quite odd to me. So it will have an action timeline where you can interrupt an enemy's actions? If so, that sounds like a completely different game. It'd be like taking Baldur's Gate and making it turn-based. I mean I'm not complaining, as RTwP is horribad. Just very very surprising is all.

 

[Morkar Left]

Hmm, the standalone expansion sounds interesting. Sounds like a rpg with focus on pure adventure / exploring.

Games as Blue Shift could be hardly be called expasions beyond using the original assets, which don't seem to be the case here.

Apparently the expansion is coming out this year: http://cliqist.com/2016/08/01/hannah-joe-williams-dive-cyberpunk-espionage-copper-dreams/

They’ll also be releasing “A Banquet for Fools” later this year, the expansion to their first game, Serpents in the Staglands.

 

[Infinitron]

Whalenought_Joe Is that so?

 

[Bubbles]

Seems unlikely.

We have some art and content for the expansion, A Banquet For Fools, that we’re planning on releasing next year. There is the perfect amount of monks, mead and illuminated manuscripts.

 

[Whalenought_Joe]

Yeah now that we've settled on the 3D miniatures style for Copper Dreams we're finally able to start catching up with setting up art for the expansion maps, but we're waiting for a bigger chunk of it to be complete before showing it off. There won't be any of your anus monsters on the islands, unfortunately, but we'll be working with agris again next year for mapping out the Codex designed island!

mah anus mosnter

 

[MajorMace]

Any news on this xpac ?
I take it they're working on copper dreams, but I can't find any info about this one's progress.

 

[agris]

I don't think they're actively working on it. If I remember correctly, the broken candle ruleset they're developing for Copper Dreams is going to be used for Banquet, which itself will be standalone. Most (all?) the mechanics are now nailed down, but there's only two of them and it sounds like they're full-bore into production on CD.

Does anyone remember if they're using the CD engine for Banquet also? I vaguely recall that they are.

My god, was SitS three yeas ago already! Holy cow how time flies, it's almost a good ol' days classic already. Feels like only a year. I'd completely forgotten there was an expansion in the works. Can't say I'm fussed if it ever comes out tbh, the game kinda finishes itself off fully as is. Same ruleset in a different story could be interesting though.

Yup, time flies by quick, before you know it we'll all be dead.

Is this supposed to be the expansion that was funded by the original Kickstarter backers as shown in the image or am I misunderstanding things and this has already been done as part of the base game?

so how's the expansion?

 

[Mikeal]

What expansion?

 

[geno]

What expansion?

This expansion.


According to their web we'll get a demo. Nevermind, they have a demo on their Steam site.

Looks pretty, but they should not zoom the camera in so much, especially with these

-faced models. Ideally, it would look like a mixture of Nox and Magic & Mayhem.
