Zombicide - I took the plunge

[StayPuft]

I agree with you on all the guest artist boxes. I found that kind of annoying this go around. I like owning everything, and I know if I decide to skip something I'm just going to wind up wanting it later. They way overdid it on the guest artists this time, though. There was nowhere near enough of the proxy characters like they normally do. A shame, too, because there was so much they could have done.

The other times there were a few guest artists and that was cool. Some of the guest artist characters are awesome. This time around, they all just kind of hit me as "meh." I'll see when I get them if they are any good. Sometimes they don't seem that intriguing but wind up being bad arse in game.

I also get what you mean about using KickStarter for a game that is already well known and popular. Still, if they didn't, they might not be able to do all of the awesome KickStarter exclusive characters they tend to do, so I'd personally rather they stick to KS. You notice they never release all the proxy characters for sale after the KS. Without KickStarter, we would never have been able to have proxies for characters like Ash from The Evil Dead, Tallahassee from Zombieland, Hannibal Lectar, Shaun from Shaun of the Dead, and so many other awesome characters like that.
