I made an account there just to write about why I think Warly would be a better choice. Even ignoring how Warly is one of my favorite characters in the game, I think he would be way better for the board game. 1 1 1 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/168260-dont-starve-boardgame-passed-15million-dollars-on-kickstarter-in-the-first-day/page/4/#findComment-1840371 Share on other sites More sharing options...
alainmcd Posted October 20, 2025 Share Posted October 20, 2025 I'm sure Warly and Wes will end up in the game, and I wouldn't be surprised if they're announced before the game is actually shipped. And considering the skins, Wanda seems likely and DS-only characters unlikely, despite the game being called DS TBG and not DST TBG.

HeatAndRun Posted October 20, 2025 Share Posted October 20, 2025 (edited) I expect to see character pack #3 expansion which includes Warly, Wes and Wanda, and in this case there gonna be premium miniatures for them plus Wurt. The problem is if that's the case then it's uncertain they'll fit into the chester big box because those expansion and add-on will likely not to be released at least within kickstarter duration.

Dr. Safety Posted October 21, 2025 Share Posted October 21, 2025 Given that they already have All-in pledges, we won't be getting any new content unless it is free, like chester, glommer, or stretch goals. They didn't want reveal the all-in pledges until they had revealed all the paid content expansions.

In a co-operative board game like this I imagine Warly would've been an amazing support to *all* the characters. I love Wurt and all, but I've always liked Warly more. He's easily my favorite character in DS/T and it's a shame to see him overshadowed for a character type that already exists (follower-based character) 2 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/168260-dont-starve-boardgame-passed-15million-dollars-on-kickstarter-in-the-first-day/page/4/#findComment-1840384 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw it was Warly VS Wurt and I instantly thought "One of the hardest characters in the game versus the little monster child that's on every server. I already know the results of this poll." then when I voted for Warly I saw it was 30:70 in favor of Wurt, and remained so for the entire duration. I wouldn't be surprised if they also knew the results of the poll before they made it, and they just wanted to act like people picked Wurt when they had already planned her all along. I also wouldn't be surprised if most of the votes for Wurt are people who aren't even interested in the board game and just want there to be a Wurt skin. 1 1 5 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/168260-dont-starve-boardgame-passed-15million-dollars-on-kickstarter-in-the-first-day/page/4/#findComment-1840385 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheggf Posted October 21, 2025 Share Posted October 21, 2025 I think they should add a stretch goal for $4,024,287 that adds Warly.

Dr. Safety Posted October 21, 2025 Share Posted October 21, 2025 Something has come to my attention, and I realize I have been spreading misinformation on the internet. Apparently, GCU content will NOT be available long-term on their e-store. When they say that it will be available on their website, they meant the overflow produced during the campaign. There is some FOMO at play, as a lot of content will not be available in retail. The best way to secure something GCU limited is to back now. This includes stretch goals, and any 3D minis. The only stuff in retail will be acrylic. I'm not sure whether or not expansions will be available. Sorry if I confused anyone earlier. On 10/18/2025 at 7:02 AM, Dr. Safety said: I have some friends who were interested in the boardgame, but didn't like the video game. I'm getting it for them as a gift, but it will leave me with some extra skin codes for some characters. I don't want to be a skin scalper, so when the time comes, I'll probably do a giveaway on the forums. Make sure you are active in 2027 if you are interested Also btw, this is contingent on whether or not the skin codes will be separated by character. I hope it's not an all encompassing code for multiple characters. 1 2 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/168260-dont-starve-boardgame-passed-15million-dollars-on-kickstarter-in-the-first-day/page/4/#findComment-1840398 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah... from interacting with the devs on the kickstarter comments and the discord, I get the impression that they have a lot of devs answering questions that they haven't internally discussed. I've seen a lot of conflicting information in their answers. I still trust that they will deliver. I can definitely tell that this is a bigger project than they are used to. 1 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/168260-dont-starve-boardgame-passed-15million-dollars-on-kickstarter-in-the-first-day/page/4/#findComment-1840401 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I change my mind on this part, they completely changed how the Wurt pledge goal assets look, and the Wurt digital skin is just a question mark. I think the poll was real. Or they're going really hard in the trying to make it seem real thing, but I think that's a bit weird. I don't think it's that. Also it says Wurt is GCU limited, so that means that Warly might not be GCU limited and therefore more accessible if he's just like a post-launch purchase anyone can buy. Warly stays winning!
