Like, something that actually has gameplay that's not completely random, has weird creature designs (with or without tits, but not trying to make boobies and poop jokes its "mature" selling point), and has a neat sort of setting? The Dark Souls KS kinda looked like it might fit the bill, but talk of the gameplay made it sound like a dud. Anything else out there? You can try Privateer Press' The Undercity. It's a Descent clone with body horror main antagonists. And if you don't mind modern fantasy The Others is in stores now. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/coolminiornot/the-others-7-sins?ref=discovery

Hauki posted:So do I but I don't feel the need to paste them on to every facet of my daily life All the kingdom death ones seem to be concentrated on pin-up figures (which they do male versions of now) and a few super gross monsters. The base game and most of the expansions seem fine. And considering how much money the kickstarter is making, having optional boob models seems to be a good business practice.

People want to buy stupid tacky models of girls in skimpy outfits / provocative poses / outright porn miniatures, quelle horreur. Jesus. I don't want to buy that poo poo, and someone who does want it and would display it is not the kind of person I would associate with, but i'm not going to pass moral judgement on them.

I make less than 800 pink money (40 dollaritos) a month as a goat herd so I'd have to live off grass, scorpions, cardboard and loamy sandwater for a year or so before buying Kingdom Death's miniatures full set but hell if I wouldn't buy and J/O to them if I could.

Det_no posted:The flower knight expansion was just added to the official store, there's a handful left. Thanks - but if I get any expansions it'll be through the kickstarter I expect. I managed to snag a $50 off the core game spot. Not sure if i'll end up using it but I'm kind of leaning that way. The game itself looks like my groups style and there's nothing objectionable to me in the base set. I mean its very expensive but with the world ending one way or another its worth a roll of the dice.

I was curious about it, too bad it's failing again. Necronauts was also a more unique name. I'm sorta curious what they've been doing to try to garner new interest, the designer is apparently local to me but I've never seen or heard anything about it outside of this thread during either campaign, either in person or online. I guess I'm not surprised it's failed to fund twice.

I guess I'm not surprised it's failed to fund twice. Which is sad. Because it looks like pretty drat good variant on the dungeon crawl--a genre I usually hate for being dicey and fiddly. But good game + bad marketing + unengaging KS project equals no money.

It doesn't hurt that it's asking for $34k as a completely new studio whose only previous project was the same thing, estimated at more that twice the cost, and failed then too. Getting that kind of money requires a magic cross section of luck and great marketing and trust.

Hiro Protagonist posted:How are the rules on that? I had been looking at that game. It's a shame Jamie had to be lame at crunch time. It's pretty meh, to be honest. It's a d6 pool beat-a-TN system, but there's some old RPG design flotsam in there like artistic skills. There's no real mechanical "hook" that does anything interesting or covers anything outside what amounts to dungeon crawling. Really it's nothing we haven't seen before.

The idea of Dark Souls + Monster Hunter as a campaign minis game is a pretty cool one, and they have talented artists. But it's one of those properties that mistakes vulgarity for maturity, and doesn't have a consistent tone as a result. It's hard to invest emotionally in the grim struggle for survival in the face of poo poo-eating and dick-stealing... and that's before we get into porn minis. They obviously enjoy doing porny minis, and that's not bad in and of itself. However, you have the issue that they were originally put alongside imagery of women being victimized with heavy sexual overtones, in an industry that already has trouble depicting women as more than cleavage stands. You also have the whole thing where the pinup minis are "non-canon" despite being notably used to market the game... a bit of wanting to have it both ways. "See, you can play Kingdom Death for the articles." I mean, say what you want about Soda Pop, at least they own being anime creeps. It's not the 25mm tits alone that makes KD:M offputting, after all. If nothing else, a game that markets itself with the word "boutique" while seeking to produce dung beetle-themed pinups deserves a raised eyebrow at the very least.

I'll give you that hitting monsters in the dick is dumb but pinups are not reccomended for play because they are resin and real fragile, not because the guy is being sly.

That reminds me that the studio that did titty warham miniatures "Toughest Girls of the Galaxy" announced their next kickstarter is going to be terrain and then a follow up to TGG sometime next year. Then they announced they're going to split the terrain KS into three separate kickstarters, starting with gothic church terrain. There's something about going from making high heels wearing big breasts space elves to churches that makes me giggle.

Zereth posted:It's poo poo like the "dismembered naked woman torso used as a bookstand" mini that really pushes it into "Yes you are a bad person for supporting this" territory. No it doesn't. Just because your idiot rear end can't distinguish fantasy and reality doesn't mean you get to say whats acceptable and whats not. Stop making me defend poo poo like that. Listen, i'll give you a practical reason. If you steal money from a charity you are a bad person. If buying something other people find distasteful makes you a bad person it devalues the evilness of stealing from charity. Buying the miniature you described makes you kind of hosed up (at least socially, if you're putting that poo poo where other people can see it), but not a bad person. If the guy who makes it is a nazi or something, than maybe you could make a case against buying products you want from him making you a bad person. Even then it depends on what evil hes using the money he makes for. loving puritans. You don't like poo poo, don't buy poo poo. You're welcome to judge people who do buy it and i'm welcome to judge you for judging them.

Yeah, sorry you're making yourself into the problem when you're calling critics puritans. We're not saying sex is bad, we're saying that using dismembered, sexualized women's body parts as game pieces is disgusting and unacceptable. So yeah, come the gently caress on. Perpetuating violence (sexual and physical) against women so you can get off to a lovely titty miniatures game IS what bad people do.

Normalizing and endorsing violence against women has a huge negative outcome in society. This is what makes people think its okay to beat their partners, which makes men think it's okay to injure or murder women who won't date or have sex with them, so forth and so on. Sexualized violence against women is a massive, actual real-life problem.
