GrandpaPants posted:I'm okay with cosmetic stretch goals, but they're not at all exciting. But I'm glad that it met its goal, regardless of whether I'm buying it or not. And the reason it's NA only is because Asmadi only has the rights in NA, someone else covers the rest of the world. Yeah, I guess I'll have to see if Iello (I think they're the ones) make a KS that ships to Israel. There might be an Israeli version (there's one of the old version), but I'm not getting that.

grassy gnoll posted:I'm still unclear on this. If you get the $80 Rising Threats reward, you'll get all the PDFs. You can't delete a reward level if there are any backers on it. Everyone will be taken care of and if some people overspent at the end of the Kickstarter, Arc Dream will work with them to deal with it.

malkav11 posted:This is, I suspect, a large part of why they're pointing at Lover in the Ice as their go to example of play. It's super creepy and wholly original. Yes. Exactly. homullus posted:I mean . . . that's exactly what I was saying. If the form The Adversary is protean in your game, The Adversary doesn't need to be Mythos. If you're using Cthulu and Hounds of Tindalos and Arkham and blablahblah, it's a "monster of the week" setting, and player knowledge of the setting can detract from the feeling of incomprehensible horror. If you're not using those, why bother with Mythos at all? You are either actively using the thing that actually removes mystery due to its market saturation, or you are ignoring the depth the setting has. I guess you can use Cthulu and all the other usual suspects as a spice rather than a vegetable, usually making up your own threats, but occasionally giving players what they would have been expecting if you hadn't already broken their Mythos expectations. Ok. I think I see now. I've made the mistake of using the term 'Mythos' when I really mean 'cosmic horror'. If you view the Mythos as simply the Usual Squamous Subjects that Sandy Peter's statted out as antagonists, I can see how they are really not scary anymore and are very much like Universal Horror monsters because of over exposure. Technically there is nothing intrinsically scary about a starfish headed creature flying around the Antarctic. The Fear comes from what that means for humanity's place in the universe.

boom boom boom posted:37 dollars for less than two hundred cards seems like a lot of dollars for that many cards Inkwell Ideas also made DW cards; looks like $50 for about 270 cards, a lot of which aren't "official" DW monsters. I don't get why these cards end up being so expensive.

The goal is in CDN, which makes it roughly $35 USD for a deck shipped to a US address. I dunno if tarot-sized cards are that much more expensive than regular ones.

According to the Drivethrucards cost schedule 270 poker-sized cards is $16.20. The tile-sized cards are twice the price, so I assume tarot cards would be somewhere in the middle.

It's been a while but I thought I'd post in here that my game  Broken World is in BETA now. Very pleased with the system so far. Dungeon World players should be very comfortable, and people completely new to tabletops have picked up how to play within an hour of starting. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1601691240/broken-world-a-post-apocalypse-tabletop-rpg Still a lot of work ahead of me, but I'm very pleased to finally have something out for BETA backers to look at. I've reopened preorders for digital copies via paypal (in USD cause CAD went to poop) message me anywhere if you're interested.

50 bucks for a sticker and a shirt?  Nerds such as myself might be bad at finances, but even I can tell this is ridiculous.e: as a bonus, the author gives the distinct impression of having...interesting political views.

Hey, here's a game about surviving as a small business owner in OBAMA'S AMERICA. It's really difficult to make a living, which is why I want $100 per copy of a game that looks and plays like Monopoly (retail price $12.99). What do you get for the extra $87? A sticker, a T-shirt, and enough right-wing propaganda to last you at least three or four playthroughs.

The Others is in it's last 24 hours and for $100 you get a ton of stuff. I really want to back it but already in 2 other kickstarters, knee deep in models, and I'd honestly only get a handful of games in with friends over other established ones.

Its not gonna be the same quality, and certainly have fewer skulls, but I'm totally going to have about as big a fortress as that stupidly expensive skull fortress GW kit for less than what one part of it costs.

Eloy Lasanta (previously established to be Good People) just launched Wu Xing: The Ninja Crusade 2nd Edition. I liked the first edition well enough, but it had that "we want to simulate nutbag anime kung fu stuff, so we'll use a lot of numbers" problem. Third Eye Games' last few games have been veering away from heavy crunch, and while there's no backer draft I've got a good feeling about this game. The setting is basically not-feudal-Japan, where ten warring ninja clans have been more-or-less part of life for centuries. But when the Emperor's wife and child are assassinated by an unknown ninja, he declares war on the clans, and now everyone has to put ancient grudges aside and work together to keep from getting wiped out. Eloy made the first edition PWYW on DriveThru if you want to get a better feel for the setting since I'm kinda bottom-lining it.
