Electric Hobo posted:I did a little math just for the hell of it. If the box is the size of the other games in the series, which an illustration makes it look like, he could literally fill the box with a slab of granite and it still wouldn't weigh 20kg. It's just over 2kg. 20kg was a typo. quote:I will aim to reply to all posts below tomorrow (Sunday 13th) UK time. Regarding the FAQ and comment below I incorrectly wrote 20 kg where the weight is just over 2 kg. I have amended the FAQ. Apologies for the confusion. Sadly the correct figure of 2 kg is used in the postage calculations which are therefore unaffected.

Except he wrote it a couple of times, and even said that you can't order more than one copy since that brings it over the 31kg limit. Doesn't matter now.

Please pledge to my upcoming Kickstarter "Tickling the Dragon's Tail" inspired by the classic boardgame Operation, each copy of which comes with its own 6.2 kilogram subcritical plutonium sphere, two beryllium half-spheres, and a screwdriver.

Now I'm thinking about how to make a game that teaches people how to make various machines. Like in my head its basically like building a puzzle, but figuring out how to make folks build the puzzle either competitively or collaboratively in an interesting method and while supporting lots of machine types is a bit tricky.

So there's this: Way of the Fighter. I'm already put off by the dice rolling mechanism, but I need to do a more thorough analysis. It's Soda Pop though so I'm hesitant. I also already have two fighting games and I don't think I need a third.

Actually played KDM, was pretty cool. First couple battles me and then my friend had to roll on the severe wound table, escaped fatal head blows by rolling crits and just got tossed around. Someone else lost an arm and another a leg though so I can see how losing an experienced survivor to that might be annoying. We didn't find anything sketchy so far. Friend said that if deaths get annoying we can look into the Hero variant where no one dies and the game focuses more on collecting materials instead, combine that with one of the alternative campaigns.

Every KS update they give is a change to the beta ruleset and people commenting about how the change they just did broke the game in some way.

Not a true TG Kickstarter, but I invite you to revel in the awfulness of The Rangers: Bloodstone - a MiniWarGaming Movie Project Be sure to watch the short film they are basing their feature length film on. The Rangers: Drustan Chronicles Actors? Who needs those? We have lots of friends and family!

I also already have two fighting games and I don't think I need a third. The rules are pretty much dogshit IMO. Basically you get to choose if to crouch/jump/shift and your specific attack cards can only be played on a particular stance. Attack cards also only hit at specific ranges and specific enemy stances. But since you and your opponent get to set your stance first and then play your attack card, you will 100% know if you are in range/correct stance/correct enemy stance or not. So basically the attack cards just limit your actions. Also one guy gets initiative and gets to change his stance, but if he does he gives initiative away. Alright that sounds bad but this is where it gets REALLY bad. Priority works like this: you pick up the dice you have in your active pool (don't worry what that is, it's not gonna make the rule any less dumb), then choose from 1 to 4 dice secretly to roll. You roll the dice and you add what you roll to your priority, straight up. Higher rolls ARE ALWAYS BETTER. The first example of play you have one player rolling a total of 6 on two dice and his opponent rolled a total of 2 (dice either got 1-3 or 2-4 depending if they are POWER DICE or CORE DICE). YOU SHOULD HAVE ROLLED BETTER SCRUB. If there is anything that watching fighting games have told me, is that results are 100% dependent on the RNG making your attacks go out faster or slower. Wait, poo poo, it isn't. If you thought that was bad, you ain't seen nothing yet, folks! If you want to combo, you have to play a card that has a higher or equal priority to the previous card you comboed. What if it is lower? Well, you can roll a dice! Another expertly ported mechanism from videogames where performing combos is not a matter of skill or practice, but literally hoping the RNG is on your side. Also, and I'm gonna sound like a hypocrite for bringing this up because I backed EXCEED (to be fair, I didn't pay any attention to the art of EXCEED and I am 100% not making that mistake ever again), the representation of women is not EXCEED-levels bad, but still pretty bad. That's all folks.

In the interest of fairness, instead of hitting you can do a move action or a powerup (called mode), but I think that STILL can be out-prioritized. There is a bad side of getting too high a score because it makes it harder to combo further (booo loving hooo).

^^^ Kind of, they are still cards that you randomly draw before you randomly roll to see if you can even do it before your opponent slaps you. Tekopo posted:Alright gents here's my hot take on this game after watching the rules/looking at the actual kickstarter: Battlecon, only with dice rolling and removal of all movement and defense tricks that allow for interesting play against characters that out priority you! I would say the women are on par with Exceed. All sexy booby women except for the kid (and the schoolgirl I guess?). At least next season of Exceed will be going in a different direction. EDIT: Not to mention Soda Pop had a "non-exclusive" policy that they recently changed, instantly making me like their games less. LordAba fucked around with this message at 01:14 on Nov 16, 2016 |

Relic Knights: Decent game but gently caress was the kickstarter mismanaged and momentum flopped. Super Dungeon Explore: Decent enough game, but gently caress do they not know where to go with the rules anymore. The first edition should have been tweeked instead of tossed. Seriously, minor adjustments to 1st edition rules with the 2nd edition rebalancing would have been great. Rail riders: I dunno, cool dice but seems pretty bland. Ninja All-Star: Let's be honest: lovely bloodbowl. Tentacle rape card games: Yeah. We usually bring it out at a con while we are drunk and want to be as socially awkward as possible. But not mass appeal for obvious reasons. Way of the Fighter: See above, looks meh? Put the nail in the coffin of Anima Tactics and Hell Dorado. I still want to like Soda Pop, but they make it tough.

Let's not forget Robotech RPG Tactics. And while you can mostly blame Palladium, the original rules put together between them and Ninja Division (aka Soda Pop) were dull, minimum-effort miniatures rules. And that was even before Palladium got their hands on the controls of the veritech and angled straight for the ground.

7th Sea just updated Backerkit with a download of the preview for Heroes & Villains. Like with the core book this preview is pretty much the book, bookmarks and all. Haven't jumped into it in depth but I like that the 'heroes' section starts off with a nice clear section about playing heroes as the GM that focuses on 'remember this is a story you're ALL telling, stay interested in your players' stories even if the hero you're playing has a story to tell too'. I also like that they're divided up nice and easy, you have the brawn, wits, style, and sneaky types all with their own section. Nice and easy to look for someone fitting your needs. I also like that the baddies all have a little bit on either how they can be redeemed or making it clear why they're too far gone to be saved.

7th Sea is one of the few RPGs I wish I'd been able to back at the time, and I really don't even play them. Looks like even digital is going to be substantially more expensive than the KS scholar backer level.

There's multiple videos of it being played you can watch and decide for yourself. It looks like it has some interesting mechanics with the way damage works and the deckbuilder-inspired activation stuff.
