I just found out about Pugmire, a game by Eddy Webb. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/200664283/pugmire-fantasy-tabletop-rpg He describes it as Lord of the Rings meets Planet of the Apes. Has anyone here backed it and read the preview?

It came up a page or two back. I was pretty excited until I found out it was d20-based, at which point I became much less excited.

Somebody is doing a Walking Dead card game kickstarter. They're only offering a print and play version? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1792283621/the-walking-dead-collectible-card-game?ref=category_newest

quote:Somebody is doing a Walking Dead card game kickstarter. They're only offering a print and play version? This seems like a dumb question... but did they really get a major license, and then use it for their $5000 KS target, print-and-play card game, which is launching with no reviews and with a KS page they knocked out in an afternoon? Did they maybe not get the license first? Edit: Yeah surely this isn't a real thing? OK, yeah, his other created project was "Game of Thrones Robots Card Game" (complete with botch-stolen Game of Thrones logo). Lol. jmzero fucked around with this message at 04:57 on Feb 4, 2016 |

Their previous Kickstarter was a Game of Thrones card game that was cancelled yesterday after raising 6 dollars.

When in doubt, Reverse Google Image Search. The picture of their "team" from the KS page is actually a picture of Norwegian mobile game dev Dirtybit. Edit: and their "sample cards" are from the Walking Dead Trading Cards by Cryptozoic. Hence why there doesn't seem to be any card stats/abilities on any of them.

Yeah, it's definitely a bunch of bullshit. No idea what they're attempting to accomplish with their silly fake campaigns (as mentioned, their previous one was a GoT Robot Card Game...what?), but it's absolutely bogus whatever the case.

Someone who has a very loose definition of Warcraft 3. Actually despite being critical and dismissive of Sirlin's attempt at translating an RTS, it has actually got me thinking about how to translate that experience. And how to essentially translate other Blizzard games into trad game formats. I am aggressively boring and all I can think of so far is Warcraft 3 as a worker placement game with an abstracted map with various zones that you can deploy tiles facedown to, and ultimately an economy euro. And Diablo as a deckbuilder in the vein of Thunderstone (I don't care if it was a poo poo game, it was probably my favorite deckbuilder). But back to Codex, his latest article is on the Anarchy build. Which has lots of random effects with no unifying theme other than RANDOM! because it's Anarchy! Get it? And thats probably the most damning insight into the game we've seen so far if thats how he's designing the card sets.

At best, it'll fill out and my group of TMNT-fans will have a new game to rotate in, at worst I'll pull the pledge. I dunno, so far it just looks like "the last 2,000 miniature based boardgames on kickstarter" but with a turtle skin. They will have a gameplay video up next week though. Between turtles and zombies Aetherium really picked a bad week to open!

Gravy Train Robber posted:Someone who has a very loose definition of Warcraft 3. Been done a few times. The AoE TCG was pretty cool and fun but games routinely took 1+ hours so there was basically no reason to play it instead of, you know, actual AoEII. The WCIII boardgame is kind of interesting, it has extremely underwhelming components by modern standards, it's basically a light worker placement game with light wargame elements. Diablo would probably be best represented as a game like Descent I guess. The WoW boardgame was basically Runequest.

Hey, so remember #FML: the Card Game: the Kickstarter, that hilarious and freshly topical take on the party game set to take the scene by storm with its collection of epic lulz and never before seen revolutionary gameplay? I wonder how they're doing now that they're a couple weeks into their campaign, have they announced any stretch goals or anything oh it was cancelled three days ago at $378 of $13,500, never mind then.

I suspect the Walking Dead card game thing is an attempt to trick people that are looking for the miniature game that Mantic put up on KS. ... also I'm glad I held off from buying an Apocalypse World book now that the KS is coming out. So hey aren't there rumours of a 7th Sea KS coming this year too?

He can be as far up his own rear end as he wants, but it's causing some hilarious issues where he needs to get info to backers - but he refuses to break character. Instead he just writes lovely prose to cryptically hint at changes to international shipping rates and new pledge tiers. There's a time and place for that stuff, but his failing to understand when it's inappropriate makes me wonder if there's something legit wrong with the guy's social development.

From what I'm understanding (and I'm not defending this behavior, mind) if you're seriously put off by him remaining resolutely in character, then he deems that his games are not "for you". I can admire him for sticking to his guns, but maybe he would let one of the people who works with him answer serious questions in plain-speak in the comments or something.

Gravy Train Robber posted:Someone who has a very loose definition of Warcraft 3. I know you don't like Sirlin but you don't need to intentionally misrepresent the Kickstarter. Anarchy's theme is the ability to make threats appear on the board very quickly without much warning. It's really not that hard to understand. I think that his marketing voice for codex is annoying as heck (it reads like someone trying to hype up the game to someone who doesn't get modular deck games, but Sirlin comes across as very condescending even though there's a tongue in cheek aspect to the voice.) The joke about anarchy being random is that it is supposed to be perceived as random by the opponent you're playing against.

That said, you don't need to put in real financial information. You input your billing address, hit "proceed," and it goes "oh, your cart is all free stuff, no payment method needed."

World Wide Wrestling: International Incident. WWWRPG came out last year and it's just fantastic, one of my favorite games to play. It's Pro Wresting in a PbtA framework and builds something interesting and compelling from the way RPGs and Sports Entertainment both use violence as spectacle and storytelling. International Incident is a full-size supplement with more gimmicks (playbooks), new moves to model audience reactions, a structure to track the success (or lack thereof) of your promotion, and a bunch more. You can get copies of the core book in pdf or print through the campaign for this expansion as well. The game's website has more information and press including plenty of actual play sessions. I'm partial to the one from my show, of course.

I've been interested in this game for a while, so II looked like a good time to get in. Backed at $65. If anyone finds the idea of tabletop wrasslin any good, you can get all the materials at a pretty good price.

The big Conan Kickstarter got delayed until somewhere around June (for Wave 1). Their excuse is that they picked a Chinese factory that has overbooked their production lines. 18 months from backing to fulfillment. That's...not great.

CHARIOT is Wood Ingham's game set in Atlantis as described by the Theosophists — a world of sky-ships, orgone-powered ray-guns, racism, and slavery.quote:The elevator pitch: Chariot is a fantasy role-playing game set just before the final fall of an occult, theosophical Atlantis tempered by my boyhood imagination. It uses Tarot cards rather than dice, and has a heavily occult and magickal flavour to it. Wood has written a lot for White Wolf and Onyx Path; he's been pretty instrumental in most of the nWoD/Chronicles of Darkness games, he also self-published the darkly funny MSG™. He also knows his poo poo about Theosophy and its visions of Atlantis like nobody else. Malcolm Sheppard and me are writing the first two stretch goals. It's on IndieGoGo as flexible funding, because you will get what you pledge for whether it hits the goal or not. The purpose of using IGG is twofold: first, to have a platform to handle pledges/preorders, and second, to see if enough people want in to give stretch goals. Pledging even £1 gets you the 99% complete text, though he's having to send the links out manually just now.
