Can I collect everything needed to complete this Vintage Board Game? Dark World 

Boardgame Restoration? Finally a niche I can get behind. I'm not a car person, but I can see the appeal of doing that, and this.

I started watching this channel around six years ago. I've noticed I seem to have developed a severe "trash" hoarding condition as a result. Whenever I get new appliances or tech I go glassy eyed at all the lovely packing foam and cardboard. Home waste is now sorted, not according to material type for recycling, but according to what I can make with it: Minis, Terrain, Sculptures, Misc. I got a mini 3d printer and have a nearly full Amazon box with enough waste support "trees" to make the actual Amazon forest three times over. 🤣

it warms my heart to see people collecting and restoring old games

Old board games has become one of my favorite alternatives to crafting videos from your channel. I'm glad you have a nearly complete unpainted set and look forward to seeing how you paint the extra pieces.

I've always wanted to "level up" my older board games, newer 3d printed minis, custom boards and terrain - just something to bring some of the 80s 90s and early 2000s games to the more modern era

I remember this game it is from Dark Eye a german role-playing games. They made 3 board games in this setting called Dark World and the set you have is called Dark World - Castle of Secrets and there was also Dark World - Village of Fear, and Dark World - Dragon's Gate. Chronologically dragon gate is first then village and castle is the last chapter. I had all of them as a kid, got the as a gift from my aunt and uncle from german so those sets were in the OG german lauguage.

Oh man, opening those boxes at the start was really cool. There's almost nothing more touching than a friend drawing one of your characters in a RPG. I still have some from a friend in college who sketched our whole party and I treasure them.

Such a cool project!!! I love the idea of keeping such a reconstruction mostly word-of-mouth help, especially given the nostalgia value! It really is a neat treasure hunt, just like back in the day!

This was really heart warming. Thanks for sharing your project with us.

It’s so cool that you’ve been able to restore a childhood memory. Those board games are special in their own way. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.

I had no idea this game exsisted until 20 years ago when my mum gave me a copy she picked up from a charity shop for 50p. I have great memories playing this with my brothers. And only recently i have introduced my kids to it. Absolutely great game. The expansions are hard to find though and if you do find them they are pricey.

I had a similar situation with Battlemasters, Hero Quest and Space Crusade about 10 years ago. Took a while to get everything back in good condition, but it was worth it. :-) Now I have everything painted to the standard I ever dreamed of as a child. Enjoy the ride, man!

I really like this series, can't wait to see your full set and the minis painted !

Hell yeah dude! I can't wait to see all the retro style painted minis!

Aweseome. I love how you are giving this gem of a forgotten game so much love and attention.

this is excellent news

Got the notification at the right place and right time. Got here within seconds of posting. ... you know the place. You know the time...

Huh. A couple months ago I saw a bunch of this stuff on an ebay auction. The bidding went above what I wanted to pay. Love this video concept by the way.

Good luck on the hunt bubba thats half the fun be safe and take care.

Those vac-formed character condition monitors. I just had a sudden _Space Crusade_ flashback hit me right in the nostalgia.

I've been subscribed for about 3 years. I pretty much started my journey with crafting and buying tools to cut and shape foam because of you. I've learned blackwash, dry brushing, and oils from you. I've graduated to 3D printing for terrain and ready made files for making some pretty awesome mini's. I use your technics that you have taught and they transfer to 3D printing just the same. I love your teaching approach because it doesn't intimidate me because you make me feel like I can do it. I've been making and painting some awesome things because of you. Keep going man, you are an inspiration to people that are hesitate or just afraid to try. Just dry brushing in front of people makes them amazed like it's a magic trick. Tips and tricks baby, keep going.

it be great if the world would pull together, helping one another

If you spray some water onto the board, then sandwich it between some felt and put weight on it, it SHOULD get rid of the warp.

Love your projects!

Wow, been a long time since I played darkworld. I even recently got a replacement copy to replace one I had to abandon when I lost my childhood home. Sadly, my replacement copy is missing parts. Trying to find a new copy, I learned there were expansions! The town looks amazing! This board game got me into D&D and warhammer. Especially since KB toys had it all painted, man was i disappointed as a kid to find it not collored when i opened it lol.

3D scan the knight with something like Polycam, reprint it out on a 3D printer, then paint that one!

I think I have the complete board game still sitting at my parent's house. I used to play it as a kid.

Abrahim - "When push comes to shovel!"

I am fortunate I have the one I bought, still complete.

besides Darkworld, i'd like so see something about that mutant chronicles

I see you've got The Mutant Chronicles back there. I've got a full set, minus the figures, in brand new condition if you need anything. I think even the box is good.

I bought a copy of this game probably 30 years ago. It was complete and in pretty good condition. Sadly my game group didn't like it and I eventually sold it. Now I really regret that.

As always, a great project 👍👍

If you haven't considered it already, this project seems like a perfect time to get a 3d scanner. You could make 3d files of all the minis for 3d printing reproduction.

I don't know this game at all, but this is an awesome side project.

I just dug into my old game, and childhood me did not like grownup me, all the minis were missing, all the weapons, dice and one door. Kids... lol

well sounds good may you find all and can have a demo on how the game plays wil see in in nest vid may be get some 3 D printed just a think to nest vid

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but supplemental to the original german version of this game (Burg des Schreckens, Castle of Horror), there were two more games belonging together: Dorf des Grauens (Village of Terror) and Tal des Drachens (Valley of the Dragon), that could be placed together on a big table and played one after the other.

You could consider 3d printing for the weapons

Perhaps as a fun little project you can make the basic weapons from sprew glue?

Once the set's painted up can we expect a playthrough? Kinda like GMG's Throwback Thursday? :D

I knew you'd be back ;-)

I mean i get trying to collect everything and find the pieces and parts out there, but in my opinion if you have a part and its kinda beat up and needs to be fixed beyond kinda what is possible, i think printing and 3d printing are allowed. for the walls and game board get some card stock and use a printer to go through and print off and glue on new parts, you could laser cut it so its the precise shape, or whatever. hell heres an awesome idea, since you plan on having 2 sets one painted one not, the painted one, take that and go full on hardcore crafter mode on that one, replace everything with new bits and whatnot

I have a set I bought from someone in highschool. Only missing the instructions.

I barely remember seeing that game on the shelves... here in germany it was themed after a roleplaying game named The Dark eye (Das Schwarze Auge, or short: DSA), and distributed by their publisher. aside that it looks the same. How I know? I found one on ebay shortly after you unpacked yours on video, and it looked fairly complete, too. paid like, 70 euros for it give or take... how it went to cypria of all places is beyond me. maybe someone moved there and brought it along and sold it eventually? I might never find out. but it does look very nicely kept, maybe 90% complete? I haven't checked yet. nothign warped, only one wall is bent at one place, the box has only one real nick in an edge... and all in all it can be used as a RPG prop, too. ^^

I have a painted knight Jeremy if you want to repaint him.

I am a board game player /collector/ crafter etc. I have an incomplete copy. You need a knight and which 2 weapons? I will take a look what I have tonight.

Do you still need a board? I have one in excellent condition. I just need to know where to send it.

What gray weapons are you missing? You didn't mention them specifically.

Could you take any of the gold weapon duplicates and paint them grey to fill in for missing grey weapons?

Can you link the Harvest module you mentioned please?

Why not scan and print a knight for painting?

Since you plan on painting your dupes of the pieces, why don't you just make a resin cast of the one you are missing? After it's painted you'll never know the difference.

Ooops. Sorry, eBay

Pity the HeroQuest dono didn't receive similar love... Ah well, lesson learned.

Are you feeling okay Jeremy? You seem a bit off today..
