Catacombs by Elzra Elzra
Catacombs is a dungeon crawler with a focus on flicking to resolve combat and move around the map. This next iteration serves as a sequel to the first edition of Catacombs with a more serious tone and new features. An optional system for resolving movement and combat without flicking will also be included.

Again, maybe. There has to be enough orders to justify it. Fortunately, I have developed a very language independent system over the years.

Well noted - I'll say that I'm starting to relate to Martin with Winds of Winter. Lots of life distractions at times. I am making progress though.

This is not a good start for a new project, you know? I mean, if it already takes you so long to start the campaign I dread to imagine when it will have to go into production

Hi, I'm excited to have found this franchise although I wish I got into the hobby sooner  I'm quite interested in the more mature theme of this sequel but I'm also entertaining the idea of backing catacombs fortress on backerkit. I cannot leave comments there. I wanna know if the already released content will be available on backerkit, I'm talking catacombs third ed, playmats and expansions. If not I'll possibly have to hunt them down

Yes, the Fortress campaign on Backer Kit's new Crowdfunding platform is expected to include existing expansions and hopefully a reprint of the "big box" version of Catacombs 3E with the playmats. Link to the Backer Kit campaign for those who may be interested. https://www.backerkit.com/call_to_action/1cebd09c-ed29-4b0f-9efd-119582e0145b/landing

The question is: Is it (the game) published in Spanish and will it (the campaign) have stretch pay? I haven't found a Spanish language partner yet, but I work with an agency who seeks licensees for our games, so they will work on this. No promises, but hopefully someone is interested. Yes, I'm planning to enable Stretch Pay for this campaign.

The follow-up question relates to late pledges (if I understand the question correctly), but yes, the Gamefound platform supports late pledges. OK, I have to get some sleep - thanks for your questions :).

Will Catacombs and Castles 2E be available in the C2 campaign? I'd love to get the huntress edition (already being a huge 3E fan) but shipping to the UK is killer.

I don't expect the Catacombs 3E related material to be available during this campaign. It's more likely part of the Catacombs: Fortress of Nazemoor campaign over on BackerKit Crowdfunding (they put a crowdfunding platform in front of their pledge manager like Gamefound). BackerKit talked me into trying it out. It's nice when you can actually speak to the people that operate these platforms - Kickstarter never cared about what I was doing. Anyway, Fortress will be a standalone, core game that uses the Catacombs 3E system with some new features. Also, it is expected to be the last one in the Catacombs 3E related line. Link to the Fortress campaign pre-launch page in case you're interested: https://www.backerkit.com/call_to_action/1cebd09c-ed29-4b0f-9efd-119582e0145b/landing Shipping to the UK is killer - there is no getting around that. However, to answer your original question, I do have a *few* copies of Catacombs & Castles remaining at Spiral Galaxy in the UK. If you're interested, please submit a support ticket here and I will do my best to help you out. Please mention your user name from Gamefound and I will remember who you are. https://support.elzra.com/submit-a-ticket/general-support-form/

Will full co-op be viable? Or is a GM 100% required?

Full co-op will be viable - I promoted it to a core design goal. It will be easier with the hex based grid on the map.

I would very much like  for the characters to be imprinted upon the discs.  For someone , to stick them one~~ by~~ one  ,is an Extreme way to familiarize yourself with  the characters!

Introducing Catacombs II

Catacombs II serves as a sequel thematically to the original Catacombs released in 2010. It does not seek to supplant or compete with Catacombs Third Edition as this new game has different design objectives.

I would like to explore variable party sizes. Heroes in the Catacombs series have been constructed around cards. I want to explore a dedicated player board for each hero, but have actions built around a hand of cards with deck building as a way for advancement.

I like the idea of "one versus many" with a DM controlling the game as it is hard to replace a human player and personally, I don't like app driven games. This time, I see the DM being a true competitor to the party of heroes and will also have a hand of cards to play.

The game will enable players to resolve combat using the Dexterity Game System (flicking) or non-dexterity related mechanics. I don't want combat to be reduced to a euro style puzzle, so there will be randomness in the non-dexterity combat resolution.

Movement will not necessarily be dexterity based as I want to explore a "multi-tiered" aspect to the game. I can imagine a hero walking along a "bridge" suspended between two obstacles, for example. In terms of the play area, I would like to explore different spawn points for both heroes and monsters in addition to an event system that would trigger encounters. In summary, this game takes the Catacombs series in a new direction.

Example of a playmat with the hex grid:
