Who we are: The CCG (Custom Content Group) is a group of designers that spend our free time improving and creating new content for the board games you love. Right now the team is focused on creating new content from Kingdom Death: Monster, but more to come soon. This is our love letter to the games we love to play.
What we are asking for: 100% of the funds generated by this Patreon will be used to create IP-Free KDM related content, commissioned art, 3d models and possible future original game content. Contributions are optional as all of our content is provided and released free for personal use. We know you spend your hard earned money buying the boardgames you love. We are here asking for your help as we increase the standard of the content being developed into something truly impressive and professional.
Do I have to pay?: No, all fully released content will be given 100% free to the public. To see alpha/beta content in the works that still needs testing, you will need to be a Patreon at any level.

MAJOR UPDATE - The low-end noise is from my mic/tripod being to close to the table. It is not a common sound on the channel. It is worse in headphones (I just checked) - my advice is to watch this episode on the computer / phone.
i'm watching on my computer and I can hear all the mic bumps lol XD it's ok though! good content!
I have an idea (and a basic sketch) of a new campaign. I called it "people of the trail".
My concept is that instead of a settlement the survivors would be always the the move in wagons. They would be searching for a very elusive "light on the end of darkness".
The concept involves changing landscapes and ecology (once they move out of the initial zone, no more lions to hunt). Also the nemesis fight would serve as story elements to define (or give the option to choose) paths to be taken. Also each "zone" would heve some specific hunt events.
I would love to elabore more on that, and share my notes.
Reminds me of The Oregon Trail game. If anyone reading this, knows what that is, you're old.
Amazing to see such passion and creativity dedicated to improving an already wonderful game. It's got me stoked to play it again. I too love the a,b,c hunt events for variety and continuity sake. Also adding the settlement into home fights is so intuitive.
If I could add/change one thing it would be the ending. Beating the Gold Smoke Knight was pure xhilaration for about 10 seconds, before consulting the book.
Thank you for commenting and connecting with us :) glad you enjoyed the video - I hope we see the king help round some things off!
Ah crap, now I gotta actually finish the teleporting deer
Pressure is on XD
Did ya finish it? 👀
Thanks Jesse for the great conversation. I always love talking about growing communities and fan made content.
If anyone has questions, I would be glad to answer them.
Good video. Gave a nice overview over the different types of fan-created content for KDM: Optimization of existing parts of the game, new monster showdowns and completely new systems.
Speaking of the first one: Like many other players, I quickly found the hunt phase to be a bit lacking and potentially frustrating. Spicing it up with some player agency and keeping it fresh through some additional stories without overhauling it completely is a great idea.
I love the idea as well :P - thanks so much for checking the video out!
In my opinion, this is the most interesting videos you have made. and I love all of your KDM videos. Keep them coming! So glad I found a hidden gem today. I always thought Fen was the only one making fan-made KDM content.
GoWtheFlow1011 Glad you found us.
A community Storm Knight campaign?!? That's just awesome! Thank you so much for the video, I'm a long time KDM fan waiting for my gamblers chest as most of you and until now I was completely unaware thing like these exist!!!
Yes!!!! I am so glad you found this then :) - you are who we are making this content for!
Enjoy!
After finding this CCG community, I have now spent the whole day searching what cards to order. I am now piling curse, custom settlement events, tracks of death, environments, overharvest and vermin. I still havent even opened my big box that has all the current expansions. And am waiting for GCE and all the new expansions that are coming sooner or later : D Thanks for this video! off to spend my money to mpc xDD
Def a grail game for me and my wife. Played it once with a friend of mine and she loved it. Gotta finally pull the trigger this year on black friday.
Oh! That’s exiting :) - we will have more and more coverage on the channel!
Just pledged to the Patreon. :) Really love this game, and while I still feel like I'm not done exploring the first wave content (so it may be a year or more before I even utilize fan-created content) KD is a game I think I'll be playing the rest of my life
Wonderfull interview! Opened up a whole new world of KDM to me!
I am glad it did!
Great video, I love all the community edition stuff.
Oh and btw, we could hear the microphone rattle every time you knocked the table, it was quite annoying, maybe try and adjust that if you can for future videos.
Sad to say, I couldn't watch because of it
Matt Ernst I hate hearing that but join us on Patreon and Discord, we can chat there.
Just watched it with headphones on ... couldn’t hear it last night on phone but def loud with anything you can hear bass.
Yep - the table was to close to the mic stand to it rattled when it got bumped. We have changed gear / corrected the issue. Wish it didn’t happen!
Quack, this is fantastic KDM content. Thank you for doing what you do!
Someone had mentioned about the Storm Knight AI being broken, so I wanted to respond despite not being able to find the comment.
1. My guess is this was the first release, which while not perfect was workable. Luckily, in November we released a new and vastly improved version that was quite heavily tested.
2. Why not come to me earlier with exact issues? This is exactly why the CCG (and all developing teams) have beta phases so people can jump in and give feedback. Look at Lion Knight, it needs reworking, so even Poots messes up and hopefully proper feedback can be accounted for.
3. I do apologize that you printed your deck and felt it needed to be trash. I too reprinted with the new version and trashed the old. I do recommend before printing, have a read through the AI and rules to make sure you get what you expect. Everything released is free to peruse.
We can only make better products if we get the feedback needed as we make them.
There was a weird thumping sound from time to time in the video, haven't seen anyone mention it so thought I'd share! (or maybe it's my headset?!) Otherwise very informative video, I haven't looked at the community edition yet but I just might now!
Yep - my tripod was to close to the table - my shotgun mic is posted on the tripod - so bumps made a vibration. I’m not happy about it XD - I ordered a new stand and mount to fix it immediately.
Great conversation, guys. Tommy really brings the energy we're all throwing around in the discord. Great to see KDM get more love.
I would love to see a video from you on this game about how you went about building the minis? What material, guides (if any)? I f you had any help with them and just the steps and processes you took? From a prospective buyer of the game I know that's the biggest hurdle for me hitting that buy button and with there not really being a lot of good sources for this out there (that I've been able to find, if you have any please do recommend) I think it would be a great niche for you to cover. I love your content and can't wait to see what you do further with this game
Played my original KS core set last weekend. Made me real jealous of your custom box. Can’t wait for more.
The other app is Blackledger which I'm a fanboy off haha
I blanked completely as I am not a user.
Yeah! Happy to see this finally ~ maximo1984
Whoop! :D
I mean the Phoenix is hard but have you ever been infinity kicked by the Butcher if its last AI card is Kick 😂
Anyway its really awesome to see some videos that explore lesser exposed parts of the boardgame community. Loved seeing all this really interesting and really well put together modded stuff!
I haven't played K:DM yet, but seeing stuff like this definitely makes me want to find someone with it if possible and try it out. Slowly getting to know my local community a bit better and getting to play more games. I think my biggest challenge as a solo gamer is also really get into video games which cuts into BG time.
Adam Teece Play table top simulator? People are always looking for more players.
@@revel911 I have TTS but haven't tried it yet. Great idea, I will have to learn how to use it.
I am really looking forward to your thoughts on Tracks of Death. I borrowed some ideas from 7th Continent for that with the changing events and cards getting replaced. The idea being that the survivors were changing the landscape as they went along. There is a lot of secret stuff in there to discover too. Super secret. ~maximo1984
Hmmm... Modding is a viable topic on Quackalope... Interesting...
[Makes notes in 'the shortlist']
I'm a bit confused? there are minis for this content!? where can I find them?
Answering your final call to action here's my 2 cents , we were fighting the WL, went critical hitting it and got the Eye, prob is the part we hit was unrelated with the head and that made little sense..and again also gaining a random WL resource we got the Mane and then actually hit the mane and were wondered what to do... I wish the resource decks were more coherent in general ( 2 eyes for instance) and linked to the part you actually hit the Monster. Some HL already work that way, thinking of you TAIL but again, maybe those specific ones should ONLY be gained when hitting a specific location and not gained randomly leaving the specific hit location crit "empty" or ending up with 2 tails...
So much energy!!!! From both of you.
I definitely not agree with some creative choices, but this is modular so you can basically add or remove portions of it. I just wonder if so much work has been put into "KDM" to make it a different game. Why not to create your own game?
Jorge Leon It’s on the list, but for me it’s about having a strong solid idea that gives me the energy (which as you see I can have a ton.) we have a couple ideas, but seeing if they have legs.
ahahah both of you guys look super nerdy excited together... Take this as a compliment. This type of energy and passion is what actually drags people to this type of fan made content and channels.
You know there is always concern of usage of intellectual property so please be careful. Im sure you are not making "profit" but some people will consider that you are ...
In regards a new game, I just dont necesarily agree with having classes in KDM I actually believe that goes against the spirit of the game, but I new game with classes in the KD setting could be really appealing.
Thanks, Tommy & Jesse for the excellent info. Tommy, you've got another Patron. Blame Quackalope. :) One quick question. You guys mentioned something about changing up the Phoenix fight. I've had a quick poke around and can't find anything, would you mind letting me know where it is?
Hey Jason! It changes the gear / rewards in the Community Edition - that’s the only modification. Making it a more valuable fight - worth the risk!
@@Quackalope, thanks! You guys are doing great stuff!
“…for those waiting for the Gambler’s Chest to finally show up…”
Me: laughs in 2022
I don't own kingdom death but I like second hand experiencing from your videos so I can't wait for more videos lol
Nemesis boss vs Nemesis boss. Somebody tune the boss deck and hit location, and stats, so they can have a funny automated duel
Just came across this and checked out the Patreon but it looks like most of the links to print the cards don’t work 🙁
This is the third time I listened to this this video cuz I love it so much:)
GoWtheFlow1011 I’m glad you liked it, it was fun chatting with Quackalope.
Great Content! MOAR KDM! Haha. My roommate and I are making fan made content, check out Jadderknight in the recent files on the KDM page of Boardgame Geek. Made some holiday content. How does Tommy make a living? His career is not in making free KDM fan stuff and money is going to artists through Patreon, so how does he make his money? How does he fund a trip to Gencon? How does he fund KDM and all the extra stuff? Realize that is personal question, just interested in how creative types fuel their passion, sadly the world is backwards to where 'artist' is a rare job title, so we have to have other things support us and slowly kill our modivation.
Also how do we get involved? I'll playtest, I'll make art, I'll clean, I'll cook, I love KDM! Is it simply becoming a patreon and if Tommy likes the fan content and puts it up you get a small percentage of the patreon monies? If we were to branch out and do our own stuff where do we post? Everywhere? It's annoying to me that KDM uses twitter for official stuff. Odd to me that Facebook is used for KDM stuff and boardgame geek seems to be lacking. Constructive criticism: I am not on discord, probably should be, but when Tommy was promoting that I had a hard time understanding what he was saying and UA-cam's subtitles are garbage. Jesse, you talk about hopefully making this a career, I'd be interested in content about where to post, how to post, driving people to your content, do you have to post everywhere, or strategic places to drive content. Interested in content about doing what you are doing full time, sacrifices you've made, sort of behind the scenes of what it takes or is taking to become a full time boardgamer/creator/storyteller. Anyway food for thought.
Also you talk about go and watch us play this fan created content...where? Has it yet to be uploaded? Sorry, novel.
Kellen Dyer become I love hearing your passion as well. Come on over to clean and cook. Ping me on Patreon (no need to join) or discord and I will get you in our “house.”
Or ping me on BGG, the CCG page is from me.
I'm on Adam's side when it comes to the Phoenix. It is fine......until level 3, that boy done flying around and about to give you those Arthur Reed hands
Iznikroc The video didn’t properly represent what the CE did for Phoenix, which was almost nothing. Didn’t touch the fight at all and only altered the reward a small amount. What we did do was balance up gear from the Plummery heavily to make it worth fighting.
I love you both!
Off-topic: Where can I get those black Maker’s Mark glasses? Both Google and eBay have failed me. Thanks!
Where can we get the storm knight model?
love the shirt and outfit ;)
Any chance you guys could do some sort of combined MPC decks? A deck with just 2 settlement cards is a bit wasteful. Wouldn't mind a version of Trial of Champions with all the core game FA,SFA,disorders taken out to save some money as well. I'm assuming it's not a good idea to start editing the existing decks.
Shirow66 we entirely agree but since we don’t know what people have/want the possibilities are too endless. It’s crazy easy to make your own decks and if you have the patience we include all of the files to do so.
I am working on a tutorial for making MPC decks, should be up on the Patreon today ~ maximo
@@SpectreTheHorseman Many thanks for the guide!
what map is that where the cards are in?
As if this game needed extra content 😂😂😂
Haha - don’t underestimate this community! The content they are adding is pretty darn incredible! But I get your point XD - I haven’t played all the campings yet myself!
the components not only look good but they look like they are well made looking very professional. That is hard to do, cheaply, on your own from home. Do they sell the kits already professionally made?
found it, i must have missed that part of the video. lets take the tracks of death for example. yes it is nice to have all the cards separated in decks for easy play but each of the three in MPC cost the same even though some have more cards than others do. so my question is there (can they make) an all in 1 link that will put all the cards in one set?
@@JohnKessler Unfortunatley no because the max deck size for that card is 92 cards. So it's the only way to do it.
@@SpectreTheHorseman good to know. Thanks! can't wait to get set.
@@JohnKessler cool, let me know what you think. This is maximo by the way. Cheers
@@SpectreTheHorseman yeah i assumed as much based on the name and watching the video. you can expect me to show it off on my channel once they come in. ill make sure i add the link.
Hello I’m interested about you organizer for the gear cards where you buy the plastic rangement ?
There are various coin sleever binder pages that you can buy that fit them. ~ maximo
Where can we find the Hunt cards download for free? Yall are saying they are free but i have to sub through Patreon which costs money. Not bawking but which is it?
They can be found for free - I’ll make sure Tommy let’s you know where. That’s being said - $1 on Patreon is not that painful XD
@@Quackalope tu for the free link in advance. also, happy to support!
Thug Life Game cards are on the Patreon to download free. The only thing that cost is beta content. Look up Tracks of Death. Now if you want to purchase the cards professionally printed from MPC, that cost does exist.
@@revel911 id love to buy them pre-printed. thanks in advance!
Thug Life Game Just can’t do that unfortunately as it means keeping inventory and being over shipping.
Thank you for bringing this content. I love the interview but that noise almost makes it unwatchable.
Totally understand the frustration - I don’t like it either. We have solved the problem now that we realized it. :/
It's the nice mods like shadows of brimstone campaign made by Kurt. I don't agree with phoenix.. Game should be hard. I don't mind losing.. I enjoy eldritch horror because of that. If you already know you are winning how do you enjoy games? To each its own.. Nevertheless its nice people try to improve. Maybe poots could take some ideas from each one..
We didn’t alter Phoenix at all. What the CE team wanted was the Phoenix gear worthy of the fight.
I really would like to contribute in the community efort to make custom content. Is there a way to participate?
Felipe Mascarenhas Ping me on Patreon or discord and we chat there.
I am also on BGG if you look in the variant section. I am the creator of the CCG post, ping me there as well.
where is the Storm Knight Video?
MapleLeafMagic it’s coming. Quackalope wasn’t able to get it out before a convention trip.
What was the discord?
Lantern's Reign
Quack :)
Where is the storm knight gameplay?
Andy Singh yes, that was my question too
@@piercecarstensen2784 yeah I was wondering the same thing as well
I'm very interested in fan made content, love the excitement and passion presented here, but this video was unwatchable. It wasn't the mic issues, it was that Jesse was constantly being interrupted. He gets asked a question and isn't allowed to finish his answer. He tries to speak on something, Quackalope assumes his intent and cuts him off. It was just constant.
stop touching the table! >.
Nick Clinite I had No idea the mic was on the table, he’s fixing for future episodes.
Not on the table - on the tripod - tripod was agist the table causing a vibration. Not a common thing to happen - apologies :(
