Indolent Bastard posted:They did round three it was their awful mech line. But a part four is all but inevitable. I know a goon still has round one mini sets for sale, and if you only want few, say 20-30 minis I might even have some I could sell you at a decent price. PM or monkeypuncher00 at gmail for details. Same here, if anyone has any interest in the Sci-Fi Bones from the first kickstarter, I'd be willing to send them off for cheap. If anyone just wanted a tester model or such, I'd be willing to send some that I don't have use for for the cost of shipping (which would be about 5 bucks if you don't live in Sweden). Seriously. I have a drawer full of Bones I, and Bones II should arrive within a few months at least.

We (Prodos Games) have made a clerical error when cleaning up our Kickstarter maintenance page. If you go to up you will see that there are two un-started projects. We were hoping to get them deleted (just to tidy up our work space), but didn't convey our request clearly. As such the AvP website has been temporarily closed in error. We are working to get it back up. Hopefully it will return in all its glory within 24 hours. Sorry to panic everyone. (Just goes to show a tidy workspace isn't always the best thing)!

Had a look back to see if anything was posted. Guess not. Anyway, Scale Games have Fallen Frontiers up, with 9 days left. Since funding, they have altered pledge levels, meaning you can now have a choice of boxed game contents. The Alpha rules are up, and worth looking at, as they are also doing some different, and not just another 40k. Plus a review of the resin figures is up, and they do look great quality.  https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/298260359/fallen-frontiers-reboot dr_ether fucked around with this message at 11:33 on Nov 26, 2014 |

dr_ether posted:Had a look back to see if anything was posted. Guess not. I think the problem with this one is they offer too much. I keep thinking about pledging, but then I can't figure out any levels I'm happy at. Add-ons are too expensive to dollop here and there and just jumping at commander seems a bit psycho. I'd be happier if they had started off with just what came in the box, plus the equivalent 2 extra forces. Then add a stretch here and there. Or if they had the level box + 2 battle starters turned into box + everything for those two factions. That might be workable. But what I'd really have liked would have been for them to start smaller and add the extras as stretch goals. I've been going back and forth on this one a lot since the last time it was posted, you see.

I was about to post that myself. Man, that's hilarious. And seeing as neither project is actually done yet, I think it's a little premature to be calling it a "gift". There needs to be something to give first. But hey, if they both do actually finalize, I'm not gonna complain about getting an extra PDF out of the deal.

God, I just want Far West to be over and loving done with so I don't have to deal with GMS anymore. The only reason I haven't asked for a refund is because I know if I do it'll kick off another drama-filled snit because Skarka can't handle anything negative unless he's dishing it out.

Is the game seriously called Far West as a riff on the Far East, as in where where Chinese people come from? Like the whole gimmick is Chinese cowboys?

To be fair, Wuxia Western could be pretty cool. There's a reason people backed. It's just that people didn't realize what crap they'd have to wade through to get to the book. Which isn't looking to shape up terribly well, sadly. Then again, I'm a sucker for genre mash-ups. Been working on a Western High Fantasy for a while, myself.

There are no Native Americans in Far West because Skarka thought they would be too hard to write without offending people.

Evil Mastermind posted:Just to put a cap on this, GMS said that people were saying that the cross-post of his private update to RPGNet was a way for him to circumvent his ban. When I pointed out that not a single person said that (and Darren confirmed in the thread), he claims it was said to him in emails. I hope he continues it until he finally falls over the dark precipice and becomes who he was meant to be, Desborough's partner and co-author of Gor.

Smash something together, apply photoshoip filters, pen on some comic style shading lines, ORIGINAL ART. Man, if you're gonna do this poo poo, at least use obscure images or maybe reference photos you took yourself! You can tell how crap this artist is because the hanger for the lantern is just a couple simple lines and a gradient. Here let me fix that for you:  Photoshop that in!

The Hershey work (the artist who did the steampunk-man-spider) at least involves recognizable artistic talent. At least several steps above what GMS is now trying to do himself. It's obviously very blatant trace-work (you can see a lot of areas where the artist is a lot less steady when not working from a trace like the loopy thing holding the paper lantern), but at least you can tell the artist actually put down the linework himself rather than simply running a photo through a few filters. The merging of multiple photos is also done a lot better than the current art. The artist is clearly relying waay too much on photos, especially since he's using a celebrity as his base. But at least he seems to know a bit about how to work from photos. I've also got to say I actually love the coloring on that piece, although I'd bet there's a bunch of pre-filtered textures involved, maybe something like a borderlands-style toolset. But still, incredible when compared to the stuff GMS is trying to do himself, which seems to be desperately aping the photo-based style of his original artist without any skill at it.

I just love how the dude's upper body is stuck in there like a potted plant. Like, okay, assuming he's supposed to be someone who's lost both his legs and now needs a totally-not-Lego steampunk walker to get around, he should still have some more lower body to him than that unless Far West is a magical realm where you can amputate someone at the hips and they'll be fine.
