I was pretty sure that game came out in the 80s and was called Teenagers From Outer Space.

Beat me to it.

It was essentially an American interpretation of old harem anime and was very much inspired by Urusei Yatsura, so it depended a lot on how amusing you find that sort of thing.

For those that can't see it: he says he's been having panic attacks, then literally begs people to stop asking for refunds because they'll be coming out of his own pocket if too many people ask.

Still no release date given, of course, and it'll be two years late in August.

Sorry, but it's a better hook than story. It was also about 15 years ago. He had a booth, I paid him for some stuff that was supposedly in a box (I no longer remember what, but I'm assuming prints from someone that's a better artist than him). He looked for a moment and then insisted that I did't pay, even though there was a decent number of witnesses letting him know that he did take my money.

Actually, there is a fun side: I was on the board for that con and he got banned.

I went into my backerkit for the printed version and it said P&P to the UK was only 20 dollars. But I already pledged the additional 65. What the hell.

Ninja High School was generally just a product of unabashed early anime fandom, so once all the stuff it was swiping from became widely available in America it became more than a bit redundant.

And for those who backed Timewatch(!) the PDFs dropped. They've been better about information in the past year but it still seemed like something to linger on forever.

Now my most overdue KS is 13th Age Glorantha. That one has been kind of disappointing seeing as we're a year overdue without any real explanation.

Free to roam the heavens in man's noble quest to investigate the weirdness of the universe!

The Millennium Blades reprint Kickstarter is up. There are no edition changes, even though a few cards do need some errata, and there are a couple mini expansions for people who already have stuff. The game is really, really fun and is apparently sold out, so this at least guarantees you a copy.

That's a really nice sculpt. Pity I don't want The Gods War.

It should be noted that the $125 pledge is the one that gives you the base game.

The Runequest Classic books have gone out, and are the most ridiculous over-engineered wrapping ever, since they came in a mailing envelope inside a box, inside bubblewrap inside a slightly larger box.

Blood and Souls and all that

Apparently they have done multiple games in this line before, so maybe this is already known. Is this designed for a specific campaign path? I know many/most rpgs come with a defined setting, but this seems to be entirely based around a single campaign, with multiple references throughout to set challenges that sound more like a series of modules rather than a toolkit to create your own adventures. There's nothing wrong with that if true, I just want to be sure what they're doing.

Neat-looking Kickstarter by the guy who did Scrappy Reviews, one of the better-received video reviewers here. The concept looks interesting enough at least, and there is a Print and Play available as well.

Dunno if I'll back it myself since I don't play many 2-player games, but doesn't seem too shabby for a quick 2-player game. But then again, Kickstarter game and all that.

I love the concept but the "close up of eyes" art style is really turning me off.

If they're broadly compatible with any of the Dwarven Forge sets, but at a bonesium fraction of the price, these things are going to catch fire.
