InShaneee posted:I think this is my new favorite example of how not to run a kickstarter: While this situation is by no means ideal, I think it's worth pointing out that the actual content is done and the PDFs were delivered to backers and later made available to the wider public. Doesn't let them off the hook for the physical print run, but it's not nearly as bad as it could be. And personally digital was all I needed.

For those still interested/hesitant on Storyscape, Robin Laws spoke about his goals/thinking behind the system he's planning in his podcast w/ Ken Hite this week. http://www.kenandrobintalkaboutstuff.com/ Obviously you should all be listening to this anyways...

This was in a "what's hot on Kickstarter" email I got, and it looks pretty neat, though I don't think I could justify the prices for most of the dice in it, they do LOOK nice. Rhythm Metal Gaming Dice I especially like the "antique bronze" D20.

I think he's tried to fit absolutely everything ever in there. So -- should I be concerned about this? I want M20. I did not pledge Powerchords but I am aware of the delays. My guess is that the Kickstarter won't kick off until Phil has something done, which means it may take a while but I won't need to be worried about late fulfillment once it's started? I guess the other blunt question: is there a backup developer available?

The packaging was sealed with, like, half a roll of packing tape. I had to get the big scissors out to open it. Rules are pretty straightforward. Looking forward to giving it a shot tomorrow; we just ran out of time today.

What's the reigning opinion on "Fresco", "Tiny Epic Kingdoms" or "Fief"?

Round here, half of those who have played it think that Fresco is a fine and interesting game. The other half think it's just another euro, if a decent one. I have to confess to being surprised about it getting a Kickstarter slot: can't see there's going to be that much demand for it.

This is a dumb question, but how to addons work? Do you select the tier you want and then in the pledge thing, add together the tier cost plus the addon? So if a tier is $12, and an addon is $4, you select $12 and pay $16? Also, does anyone have an opinion on Villages? It looks kinda adorable.

So if a tier is $12, and an addon is $4, you select $12 and pay $16? As far as I can tell. IIRC MYTH did it this way, so say the base box was $60 and I paid $100, once the campaign ended and they had the Pledge Manager up, I had $40 credit for extras.

One in five of those backers have gone for the package with the Alhambra Big Box.

NTRabbit posted:The big problem with Fresco is the ridiculous shipping charges, no game is worth another $60 just to post it No, but it's not a problem with Queen Games charging ridiculous shipping fees. I checked the cost for a box that size from Germany to you in Australia and they're not making a profit. "Ridiculous" is a charge you level at those guys who were making the Eclipse counter racks and charging $30 to ship 120g of flat plastic from America to the UK.

Ropes4u posted:What's the reigning opinion on "Fresco", "Tiny Epic Kingdoms" or "Fief"? I backed Tiny Epic Kingdoms. I actually found 5 other people to go in on a deluxe package for $20 each. This is my first kickstarted game, and I've been quite pleased so far. They have met a lot of stretch goals, and there are daily updates. The designer has also designed games I've heard of. I believe the delivery date is summer of this year, and at a price of $20, I think it's going to be a solid game well worth the price.

Ropes4u posted:What's the reigning opinion on "Fresco", "Tiny Epic Kingdoms" or "Fief"? "Fresco" is a popular one in my house. I don't think it really breaks the mold and does anything amazingly new, but it is a solid worker placement, and I really enjoy the theme. Can't speak much for the expansions though as I've only played with the three included in the regular box, and haven't had a desire to get any others.

So that Coconuts "Crazy Monkey" hit it's goal, and is almost doubling it. I'm in for a game, looks fun. And they're letting backers get a copy of Click Clack Lumberjack for very cheap as well. Only three hours, jump on it.

You might pay MSRP, or rarely you might pay a few percent less than MSRP, but you're never saving money compared to what the game will cost at online retailers. And probably not saving money at all.

Whoops! Basically they're offering it for ~$20 for US backers, $25 for 'international' (non-North American) backers.
