UrbanLabyrinth posted:A kickstarter for Coup: Reformation has been launched. Looks like they have actually updated the kickstarter to now be so lovely A bunch of add ons to get Coup, the Resistance, Flashpoint, Snowdonia + various expansions. The pricing on the addons are actually pretty good, if you don't have Amazon Prime for most of them, so there is all of that

I might actually be getting coup... is it really good? My game group loves Resistance (haven't played Avalon yet).

I think it's more the dictionary definition of epic rather than "loving epic bro" definition. They were trying to be clever with an oxymoron. Plus, it seems pretty fun

Sweet spot is around 4 players though. Hope you guys are playing the Resistance with Merlin and the Assassin otherwise you are really missing out.

Evil Mastermind posted:Blue Dungeon Tiles hit its last stretch goal the other day, and now the Basic backer level ($30 US, $40 Canadian, $45 International) gets you the base 48-tile set, 6 double-sided stair tiles, and one each of the 10 unlocked bonus tiles. I'm really wanting to back this, just trying to figure out if I'd rather spring for the Hardcore set or the Basic and 3 or 4 of the add on sets.

Has there been any word on retail availability of the Blue Dungeon Tiles post-Kickstarter? I'm in for a basic set, and I really would like more add-on tiles, but I don't want to pay for them until I know I'll be getting a decent amount of use out of them.

For $5, anyone can get the files themselves (the "Dungeon Master Add-On"), to make as many tiles as you want of any kind. You'd have to laminate them yourself, but I think that's easily the most cost-effective option if you don't know how it's going to go.

(Haven't played with Merlin and Assassin yet, but sounds like we can just designate certain cards as those roles)

It's honestly really stupid that they split it up into Avalon/sci-fi since the only real difference is some components and the cards they could have easily/did print up. Also the component quality was poo poo.

If any of you guys are interested in supers roleplay, the Extreme Earth kickstarter just launched, with plans on seriously doing seven simultaneous books to port the game into different mechanical baselines like M&M and Icons. I'm still not sure whether I think porting the game to that many rulesets is crazy ambitious or just crazy, but the art is basically awesome.

# ? Apr 3, 2014 14:10 |

I'd say crazy. Unless the base document is already done (minus art, layout) expect delays as various editions come in at different times.

What, no HERO System? Honestly, if you're going to do that much work, it makes me wonder why you'd bother with a system at all. Just give me the facts and let me plug it into a system. Also, the idea of plugging a world into just any system bugs me - certainly, one or two would fit the setting better than others? Icons ≠ Savage Worlds ≠ Mutants & Masterminds, etc. Either the system is important, in which case you should focus on it, or it's not important, in which case why are you loving around so much with it? Also it made me think of:

Here's a game I haven't seen mentioned: Epic Resort by Floodgate Games It's a deck-building and worker placement game where you try to attract people to your resort while hiring and training your workers. But the more popular your resort, the more dangers are attracted as well, requiring either heroes you've attracted to defend you or sacrificing a worker to keep the monster/pirates/calamity at bay. The winner is whoever has the most successful resort. The Kickstarter is already almost ended (only about 57 hours left). It doesn't seem very pricey, and for some added cost you can get one of their earlier games (Legacy: Gears of Time) and/or its expansion.

Last Stand: Reinforcements is a companion/expansion for Last Stand, on Kickstarter to pay for an art budget. It adds base building, giant robot, and vehicle rules to everyone's favorite Kaiju/Sentai mashup game. If you don't have the first book, it's available in pdf in a backers-only update, so that's 2 books for one.

Assuming they're right about 20% going to fulfillment and taxes, it's $400k, or about $27,000 an episode. If I were a competent makeup person, lighting designer, script supervisor, post-production producer, sound guy, sound editor, whatever, I'd want money for working on a whole season of a show. Just assume each episode takes only a single day; it's not that weird to imagine somebody competent wanting over $1000 for half a month's work. I'm not a fan of the show, but shows cost money.

Among The Stars is being reprinted. I'll repeat this question in the board games thread, but does the expansion make this worth playing over 7 Wonders? I also like how there's exactly one backer for one the tiers, and it's not a giant vanity tier either.

Request I am making a panel for a convention talking about successful crowdfunded games. I've contacted the guys behind Dragon's Hoard, Boss Monster, and Devastation of Indines already and I have their support. What other traditional games makers should I contact that had successful crowdfunding, especially for games where I can give a very brief (like 5 minutes) demo of some of the game? I'd especially like wild successes and ideas that publishers really would never have gotten behind. Complete games here also, not stuff for modeling, painting, or tabletop RPG set pieces.
