While the campaign write up is still continuing, now that I've had enough time to play with the Crimson Crocodile showdown and gear I feel confident enough to review the various elements of this monster's showdown and gear.

A short one this week, I hope you all understand, I'm trying to get ahead on the YT video recordings over the next week or so by recording four in advance (Stone Circle is next Wednesday, then it's Leather Worker, Weapon Crafter, Barber Surgeon & Blacksmith). That will then let me concentrate on the GCE fully for a month....

The Gambler's Chest Expansion arrived yesterday afternoon, and it provided existential dread and horror before I even opened the box. Those of you who check the patron's discord will be already aware of this, but for everyone else, here's the photograph of the package.

A little taster of the KDM Simulator content I'm going to be putting out on my YouTube channel in the coming months. Some video content strategy guides are going to be released going ahead, but written content is not going to stop. Especially once the Gambler's Chest expansion arrives.

I am on record writing/saying that while I adore Kingdom Death: Monster's trailblazing position for the Boss Battling board game genre; it is the games which come afterwards and seek to improve/refine the systems that come after it that I am most excited for. KDM's own design is half rooted in the 1980s and early 1990s school...
