The Fox Clan daimyo and the rest of the materials for the clan being separate stretch goals is pretty funny.

Peas and Rice posted:I got my print copy of MASHED in the mail last night, and it looks fantastic! I didn't realize the pages were actually in color too. I may try to run a game of this at OrcaCon next year. Yeah, I mentioned it in the main Chat thread, but I also got my copy of MASHED and agree that it looks great, both as a game and as a book. Really pleased with that.

Got my copy of the Dresden Files Cooperative Card Game in today. Man...Evil Hat's Dresden stuff is just so good! All those "Extra Art" stretch goals were really worth it.

I got mine in last night, haven't had a chance to try it yet. Amusingly, I got the delivery about an hour before the "Your Package Is On Its Way" email. But yeah, it looks like it has some good quality stuff and I'm really glad it's not just the same art over and over again still

As a part of "1s and 0s" week on Kickstarter, for the next three days, you can get a digital copy of Innocents, a tabletop horror RPG, for just $1. Innocents is a Spanish roleplaying game by Nosolorol Ediciones that Nocturnal Games translated for this Kickstarter. You play as children who are hunted by dark creatures of their imaginations, invisible to parents but nevertheless very real. It's a diceless roleplaying game where you spend "knuckles" to achieve tasks. Older children are better at physical and mental tasks, but younger children have a better Imagination, which is ultimately how you will defend yourself against whatever nightmares are following you. I did the page layout for this translation and tried my best to preserve the whole Jhonen Vasquez aesthetic of the game. The digital version is only $1, but there will be a chance in the pledge manager to get a printed copy for $20. There are also a bunch of extra games that get thrown in as stretch goals if you pledge at a $10 level, but the stretch goals count number of backers, not money collected. For just $1 you can relive your childhood of running from twisted nightmares; even if it's just a digital version, $1 for a 118-page RPG is a pretty good deal.

I know there's virtually zero chance of this happening, but what would happen if the Daimyo and materials stretch goals were met, but the ones for the other minis weren't? Would the person playing that clan just proxy them using nickels or something?

Would the person playing that clan just proxy them using nickels or something? They'd probably say that extra money paid during the pledge manager portion of the kickstarter unlocked the relevant stretch goals so all minis would be included in the game. I think Star Saga did that where they had a last-minute stretch goal that they didn't hit so when they launched the pledge manager they said if x dollars extra were spent then they'd unlock it.

It seems to have a similar approach to the same subject matter (though LF isn't diceless like Innocents seems to be.)

Would the person playing that clan just proxy them using nickels or something? I assume they would just throw them in anyway. There was a stretchgoal announced for Massive Darkness that wasn't reached during the campaign, and they just added it in a post campaign update. If they've already developed everything, there's no point not adding it (unless it's content that could be bundled as an expansion, which I could see happening if a whole clan is completely unrevealed somehow). Also gently caress you guys, I have zero interest in Rising Sun but after checking it out because of the hype here I really want the minis. I suppose I could use them as proxies in Massive Darkness...

I haven't played Little Fears, so I'm not 100% sure. But they seem very similar in premise. I know Innocents does not have a default setting or a named villain or anything like that, while Little Fears does. But they're both about roleplaying as children and confronting imaginary monsters. From what I can tell, they also both treat character creation similarly, but Little Fears is more stat-heavy and seems a little more mechanically complex. Innocents has Physical Age, Mental Age, and Innocence as its stats, and other than advantages and disadvantages, that's basically it . If I were to guess, I'd say Little Fears probably inspired or influenced Innocents, although to what extent I couldn't say for sure.

I'm probably not going to get it because it's not like I need more minis. But they are super cool and the price seems like a steal compared to your typical wargame/pure hobby minis.

The Gloomhaven reprint is going to be on Kickstarter as part of the campaign for Founders of Gloomhaven, which is a separate eurogame. You'll be able to buy Gloomhaven without buying the other game though, thankfully. This is going live on April 6th, so any lingering concern I was having that maybe I should back Rising Sun has just flown out the window since I'm jumping on this one ASAP.

That's a lot sooner than I'd expected. I hope Isaac doesn't burn himself out, especially given how miserable it was to drag the first run across the finish line due to Amazon loving with him.

It'll be interesting to see how much the price goes up. If there was ever an opportunity for someone to cash in on near-unanimous early reviews, this is it.

The e-mail from the Gloomhaven creator showed off an official health/xp tracker dial to make up for the finicky ones on the character boards. I want that. Gimme gimme gimme.

I haven't open the PDF yet, but I do applaud them for having a very clear kickstarter and a full beta available from the start. The game might suck, don't know yet as I haven't read anything rules related, but kudos on doing KS right, from what I saw.

I bought it from my friend for $250 :x I will be buying probably 2 copies from that KS. Not to resell really, but to have an upgraded copy and I don't even know. It's so cheap at $100 it's like, hey, why not.

Gloomhaven isn't really a "Kickstarter minis game," it's a boardgame that happens to come with a handful of minis.

Looking at the Rising Sun gameplay video, the Betray option makes no sense. I thought it could only affect your ally, but it seems like you can target anyone on the board with your substitutions? That seems powerful as gently caress.

I'd say the Gloomhaven minis are certainly above average, maybe even CMON level, but not something to pay MSRP for Played it another 15 hours this weekend. So good!
