Kerzoro posted:Yeah, they are pretty cool-looking and the vehicles look sweet, and as an ork player in 40k I'm pretty much tempted, but uuuuugh weird point systems. I could do without the point system, and things look pretty expensive once you sort through it, but I am tempted by some of the vehicles. Especially the biped tanks, though they've only shown concept art for those and as far as I can tell haven't put up prices for 'em. I'll be considering it, but the prices are pretty high. Hrm.

homullus posted:It looks awesome, but Iron Edda (the previous KS) isn't even out yet. The reasons it is smart to Kickstart a new thing before your previous one is out are . . .? There are smart reasons, like wanting to keep a creative team together and funded, your previous kickstarter is practically done and just waiting on fulfillment or other things... ... and there are bad reasons like "our funding was mishandled and we're really hoping to make up the difference with another kickstarter". I have no idea which ones are involved here.

To be fair, the pdf's for the FATE version of Iron Edda are out in the wild (I got my copy at least). So I'd bet this is just a case of continuing employment of designers.

I recognize that established game companies are in the "sometimes we make great games, sometimes we make products" business. I think it is risky indeed for a newish company to start trading on its earlier reputation and start churning out stuff just to pay the bills, so I hope that's not the case here. "Everything WE can do is done for the previous project, so we're on to the next project WE can work on" makes a lot of sense to me, though.

As a palette cleanser from the Chat thread, here's some TG crowdfunding projects that I'm following. Presented without comment, the introductory-set Traveller project, Liftoff ! A forums favorite, Spirit of '77 is past $24k. A project we all hope turns out a great set of PbtA Cyberpunk rules, The Sprawl might not hit its second set of stretch goals, to do a Shadowrun-esque supplement. I'm mainly a fan of Breakfast Kult because i want The Field Trip of Unknown Kadath to be a real TG product.

The current Traveller project I'm working on will do better; blowing up spaceships is always cool. Late 2015 can't come soon enough.

We have less than 10 days to go, so if anyone has friends who'd be interested in this or like some of BCult's inspirations, now would be a great time to spread the word!

Probably not, since Kickstarters not in USD still pull in something like 40% or less of what USD Kickstarters make, IIRC. It will probably allow them to launch cool new projects that then fail, though!

Backed so hard. And yeah, those stretch goals are gonna get blown away like a handful of mooks, and juding by their pictures, they were clearly planning the book to be in color from the beginning (the stretch goal archetypes were in the playtest docs too). Right now I'm debating on getting the pdf packs. Pack 1 is obvious, but all I'm missing from pack 2 is blowing up Hong Kong and In Your Face Agan. Oh and Krabkolash: quote:Creator Atlas Games 4 minutes ago

Hey everyone! I wanted to share the link to a Kickstarter that my brother just launched today. It's a dice game called Monkeys with Knives and Guns! Here's the description: In Monkeys with Knives and Guns, players take control of a band of armed monkeys trying to gather bananas. Each die represents a monkey. All of the players roll dice at the same time, and then determine which monkeys grab a banana, kill opposing monkeys, or horribly injure themselves with their deadly weapons. The player with the most bananas at the end of the game wins! [https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/blackballgames/monkeys-with-knives-and-guns/description]

prsntdrkns posted:[https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/blackballgames/monkeys-with-knives-and-guns/description] Since I don't see the rules anywhere, is the game just...rolling dice? Even zombie dice has at least ONE decision (do I roll the dice?), which seems like one more than this game has. Also why is "Add $5 for shipping within the US" even part of your tier? It would make sense if you were from outside the US, but you're not. $25 also seems like an awful lot for a bunch of dice, some banana tokens, and a rule sheet.

Like, each dice has 6 different monkey types and is functionally identical to a D6? GrandpaPants posted:Since I don't see the rules anywhere, is the game just...rolling dice? Even zombie dice has at least ONE decision (do I roll the dice?), which seems like one more than this game has. Looks like you get to decide who to shoot/stab, i.e. which of your opponents is completely eliminated from the game fastest.

It's been noted a couple times in the KS comments, but Feng Shui 2's Crazy Pack 2 is exactly those PDFs that were in the Feng Shui Bundle of Holding, so if you bought that, no need to do CP2.
