What's the story behind the name? I don't know what Pigsmoke conjures in my mind, but it's not academia.

I'm very sure it's supposed to be a riff on Hogwarts.

I might upgrade to the custom book if I can think of anything clever to do with it. (My alma mater's colors are almost Pigsmoke's, so that's a little pointless.)

I know people say running a Kickstarter eats up a lot of time, but I didn't realise how much of that time is spent clearing spam from your KS messages. Ugh.Saint Isaias Boner posted:I'm certain I've seen this before, have you written it up in some other thread? Anyway it looks fun. In for the digital copy. I've shared Pigsmoke in a couple of other threads and I put the proto-KS here for people to critique, so that might be why it looks familiar. Thanks for your support! Jimmeeee posted:This looks fantastic. Did you run a PBP of it it on here at one point? Nope. Not least because I am PbP garbage and drop out of every game. I ran a one-session playtest over roll20 several months ago, though, which was crewed by helpful goons. Zurui posted:What's the story behind the name? I don't know what Pigsmoke conjures in my mind, but it's not academia. I started out by thinking of Hogwarts, and got Pigboils. Then instead of boils-the-skin-condition I imagined boils-the-cooking-method and decided that the university was founded where Ye Olde Sorcerers got together to have their annual cookouts. But of course you'd barbecue a pig, right? Hence Pigsmoke. Because that's where they smoked the pigs. None of this dubious train of thought has made it into the final game. CaptCommy posted:Is the School Spirit level going to incur additional charges for printing/shipping like the other physical reward tiers? Or is that all included in the pledge price? It's all in the pledge price for the more expensive tiers. I've changed the text to make that clearer and added it to the FAQ, since several other people have also asked. potatocubed fucked around with this message at 14:11 on Jan 6, 2017 |

Complaint: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/megacongames/myth-dark-frontier/description gently caress you megacon for making a character deck for a different game that you can only get by purchasing a 100 dollar board game I don't give a gently caress about Before it gets to it, I LIKE Myth the board game. I really do. But gently caress these guys for telling me if I want this extra character I have to buy the upgraded version of this poo poo.

signalnoise posted:Complaint: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/megacongames/myth-dark-frontier/description If people ask maybe they'll make a pledge level for just the Myth stuff. They did with Mercs: Recon. Based on how they've handled the KS exclusive heroes for Myth to date, though, every time they release another level of Myth play you'll get charged anew to upgrade each one of your exclusive heroes separately, and you'll get to pay for a useless cosmetic update to the mini, too. So I don't see much point in getting any more unless you're already into the game they're coming with.

potatocubed posted:I launched a Kickstarter for Pigsmoke! Backed. This looks like fun. I've been looking for a PBTA to introduce a bunch of casual gaming friends to the system with, and running this as somewhere between Unseen University and Hogwarts should do it. Hope one of your backers hits you up for an undead professor role.

Damnit. Didn't want to, but the concept and the initial art.... backed Pigsmoke. Know that there will be at least one actual professor playing your game, and imagining blasting his colleagues with ... definitely not necromancy.

Ten-side dice, one face showing a badly drawn breast, the rest blank. Each tit you roll, you get to roll again until you come up all flats.

drat, while the numbers listed on the pledge levels don't quite add up right, we can infer that the mean backer was in for $643, the median backer is in for around $300 and there were at least 2,957 people went in for $1,000 or more. The desire for titty miniatures is incredible.

Titties is the only explanation for that success. There's plenty of reviews talking it up as a profound experience never to be rivaled but then you read the threads and it's a swingy grindy slog that the supporters claim either: 1. The new version will absolutely fix this, we don't know how, but it totally will. 2. It's not that bad you scum casual baby.

The desire for titty miniatures is incredible. The base game was like $250 or $300 and the most extreme titties and dickbeasts (with special exclusive game cards!) were locked behind premium bonuses. So the game was already set to cater only to the most indulgent of tit/poop-eating lovers
