Tomorrow, May 5th, a new Kickstarter from the Creator of The Drowned Earth will be launched: Ulaya Chronicles.
It is a campaign based boardgame set in world of Ulaya and uses the same models as The Drowned Earth. For old Rackham fans like you this is nothing new, since there have been five games who used the Confrontation models and kind of the ruleset.
This is something similar.
The four heroes strand on Raptor Claw Island and have to find their way back home through the jungle full of dinosaurs and Corsairs and other secrets. Raptor Claw Island is the name of the first chapter, hopefully more will come later.
The Basic Level of the Kickstarter has everything you need: The rules, the tiles, the game mat and standees for the heroes and dinos. This is especially helpful for these gamers who don't want to bother with painting miniatures, it is basically the Christmas set: you get it, you unpack it, and you can immediately start playing. Also, this might be a good gateway game into the world of Ulaya, because it uses a simpler ruleset than the tabletop wargame.
But of course there are also the beautiful and detailed metal miniatures we know and love from The Drowned Earth. The four heroes, the Dinos and the Corsairs, who also function as a new fraction for The Drowned Earth. The heroes from Ulaya Chronicles may later be used as nameless henchmen for all other factions.
Also new is an AI-System for the enemies and NPCs. Instead of mind-numbingly attacking, all the different enemies have a different set of AI cards and may react differently. The dilosophors for example rather spit at you and ran away instead of charging.
If you want to have a sneak peak, here is the page:

And, of course, there are also some pictures:
Sorrian-Scout and Human-Marksmen of the heroes. In addition, there will be a Berengii-Tough (a huge, brutal Gorilla) and a Dverg-Brawler (basically a dwarven Close Combat Specialist).
