he Spider Demon Expansion gives the Pilgrims a chance to retrieve the third piece of the sundered Sutras. But before Tripitaka can assemble more of the sacred scroll, his band will have to defeat the Spider Demons. The book describes them as “seductive spider spirits, half beautiful women, half spider”. Take a quick look at the horrifying concept art by Pablo Fernandez.
In the Silk Cave, high in the Silk Mountains, Zige the Spider Demon Queen spins her webs of the toughest silk. Her minions weave traps of sticky cobwebs and wait for unsuspecting prey to become ensnared. Will they feast on our brave travellers?
Once again, we will introduce new game play elements with the Spider Demons. These Demons fight at longer range, spitting poison and throwing spider web nets. Pilgrims will be more likely to suffer on-going conditions, like Poisoned and a new condition Entangled. Webs act as traps that hold the Pilgrims and attract the Demons when the Pilgrims are entangled. Each Demon moves towards the closest entangled Pilgrim, and may get to attack while the Pilgrim is unable to defend: an entangled target cannot use the Defense Dice.
The contents of the Spider Demon Expansion will be similar to the White Bone Demon Expansion when it was first announced. If we can push the pledge total higher in the last few hours of the project, we will add more items to the expansion. The price will be $48, and when first unlocked it will include:
Zige the Spider Demon Queen
2 Ziran Spider Demon Generals
2 Zahe Spider Demon Priests
5 Zigi Spider Demons Warriors
One new Map Tile
New Demon Profile Sheets and Condition Cards
Demon Spawning Cards
New Pilgrims Skill Cards
There will also be resin add-ons. With their distended abdomens and multiple arms, these are large miniatures:
Zige the Spider Demon Queen - $20
Ziran Spider Demon General - $20
Zahe Spider Demon Priest - $15
Zigi Spider Demon Warrior - $15
We have a plastic bundle that you can use to add a few Spider Demons to your core game if you do not want the full expansion right now. Or use them to boost the Spider Queen’s army, but don’t forget the bundle is optional and the Spider Demon expansion has enough minis for normal play. The bundle is $20:
1x Ziran Spider Demon General
1x Zahe Spider Demon Priest
3x Zigi Spider Demon Warriors
As well as revealing this Expansion, we will now show many related stretch goals (banners to come!) We really hope we can enhance this expansion before we deliver it to you.
410K Quest 5-Pack
420K Box Game Upgrade 1 plastic Zigi Spider Demon Warrior
430K Expansion Upgrade +1 Zigi Spider Demon Warrior, +1 Zahe Spider Demon Priest
440K Expansion Upgrade +1 Map Tile (2 in total)
450K Collectors Upgrade resin 1 Ziran Spider Demon General
460K Expansion Upgrade +1 Map Tile (3 in total)
All miniatures come with game cards. These bonus miniatures can be used with the Spider Demon Expansion, or shuffled into the spawn deck of the core game to provide some variety.
We hope most of these are obvious by now, but let us explain the Quest 5-Pack. We want to write a second collection of 5 linked Quests that tell a 5 part story. The extra Bridge Tile from the $380K goal will allow us to write one truly huge Quest. These Quests will be available for download from the Journey Forums.
