8 dollars for a digital version of the game design book. That's the tier to back at IMO.

Ugh, the Darkest Night KS keeps posting shots of their test minis from the factory and they just look so blobby and amateurish. I really hope the game is good because it was more money than most campaigns that offer better quality.

And bear in mind that the previous edition didn't have minis (and they were optional in this edition) but it did have four (five if you count the bundle of promos) expansions that were each around $20, which are all rolled into the base package here. It's too bad if people paid extra for minis and they turn out not to be very good, but that's not the value proposition of this particular project.

Appears they've sorted out the shipping issues for Blue Rose, as my physical book arrived today and I have since statted up a dashing telepathic crocodile spy.

Had to bite the bullet and back Brass: Lancashire. I've never played Brass but I know it's solid, and that art is too good to pass up.

Regular readers of this thread may recall that things have already gone horribly wrong with that kickstarter well before launch. I wish the best for Bellaire but it looks like he's got a tough road ahead.

adhuin posted:Could someone do an effort post about it, because palladium stories are always entertaining. The guy behind the boardgame was goaded by Kevin into weighing in on the comments for the disastrous Robotech Tactics Kickstarter and put both feet in his mouth with a post that basically said "hey, if you get snotty with me about this, well, I guess I won't use all my influence to help move this Kickstarter along." After he was laughed out of the comments section he apparently attempted suicide, which Kevin Sembieda immediately jumped on as the basis for yet another self-serving monologue while throwing shade at his backers, essentially blaming them for crushing someone's hopes and dreams while pointedly avoiding any responsibility himself for the entire debacle.

That Rifts board game thing has a delivery date of Jun 2019. While I know some games get delayed to a 2-year delivery, usually they list no further off than like, 1 year, right? Knowing the warning signs about the guy who set this up, I even doubt that 2019 is an achievable goal.

Has anyone looked into Petrichor? It certainly sounds interesting especially with that quote about Dominant Species, but I'm not sure whether to get this or just grab DS instead. Also, are there any reviewers you'd recommend regarding Brass?

Grab Dominant Species because you can get it and play it now and it also owns. Mean, though, so be warned if you're playing with people who don't like the fact that "Survival of the fittest" sometimes means you eat each other or starve an entire species out or cause a volcano to erupt.

Petrichor is from the maker of Anachrony, if anyone is curious. Regarding Brass: being a re-release there are already a ton of reviews on BGG that will give you a feel for it. Heavy Cardboard did a full video playthrough as part of the KS campaign.

Have there always been this many miniature centric boardgame kickstarters going on? Between Kingdom Death, Dark Souls, CMON stuff and to lesser extent Gloomhaven it feels like 2012-2014 did for videogames.Atlas Hugged posted:Rifts miniatures boardgame Kickstarter.

Yeah, Siembieda could make some last-minute unreasonable demand that hurts the project. That being said, I'm not endorsing or planning to back the Kickstarter, just pointing out that Bellaire has gone out of his way to have a largely completed game prior to the release from everything I can tell. SilverMike posted:Glitterboys are robotic power armor and evidently that's out of scale for this thing? It's a bit of an tease when you open up the kickstarter with a video of CG glitter boys fighting a dragon, two things not appearing in this game.

Siembieda will decide at the last minute that he needs to review the game, decide it's not right, rewrite two thirds of it, take credit for it, delay it by two years, and then gently caress up fulfillment. He is poison, and anyone who knowingly associates with him and works with him at this point deserves what they get, even if they're probably really nice people like Bellaire.

This is how I see it, albeit maybe a bit more bluntly than I would have put it because obviously Bellaire is going through some poo poo in his personal life, but overall I agree that Sembieda is fundamentally poison and unfortunately people only seem to learn that after he's already hosed them over. I sincerely hope that Bellaire is getting some help so that when (not if) everything goes to poo poo the Kevin Sembieda Way™ that he recognizes how to cut ties instead of attempting suicide again.

Savage Rifts had the advantage of Pinnacle being a pretty professional company and having everything finalised and approved by Kevin Siembada before they started their Kickstarter. While they couldn't outright say "There is no chance of him loving this up or stealing the project off us" they heavily implied it.
