Evil Mastermind posted:drat The Man, Save The Music! looks like it might be cool, if the idea of "Empire Records: The RPG" floats your boat. I playtested this (I know the designer). I'm biased, obviously, but I thought it was a total hoot, and that's from someone who didn't (and still don't) have a lot of built-in love of the 90's music "Empire Records/High Fidelity" setting. "Failing 90's record store" ends up being a remarkably rich setting for a one-shot and I could see it playing out a bunch of ways.

Last 48 hours for the Kitchen Rush kickstarter! It just recently hit 100k and they've been hitting stretch goals pretty consistently. I've tried it at the UKGE and I was very impressed.

I saw High Fidelity like a decade ago and never saw Empire Records, but I had a blast with drat the Man. (Further disclosure: I'll be editing it.) But wait... *narrows eyes* Is there someone else on here from western Mass?

Pelgrane just launched their latest Kickstarter, the Yellow King Roleplaying Game that Robin D. Laws has been working on for a while now: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1721105501/the-yellow-king-roleplaying-game-from-robin-d-laws?ref=nav_search It's a bit pricey on the PDF side but on the other hand it looks like it's going to be a fantastic production and the physical edition is going to be a lovely four book set with a slipcase/GM screen. And it looks like a really mindbending, crazy game, too, with players operating across four different times and realities (each with associated book). I don't usually go in for physical copies of RPGs anymore given how little room I have and how rarely I get to play them, but I couldn't resist on this one.

This looks good but oddly expensive. I'm not sure if I'll ever have time to do the big interlocking campaign either. Also why is it the Yellow King instead of The King In Yellow? There is no Yellow King.

They're really trying to make a push for getting Case Officer's book out by Gen Con, but given the lack of updates on this front (note: I have no experience dealing with printing and shipping, but if I were trying to get something to America by Gen Con I would have it at the printer's right now and backers haven't been informed that this is something that happened) I'd say it's not likely to be finished by the Con. Still gonna stop by the booth and buy something from Dennis, then turn to Pagan and buy something from Scott Glancy.

I haven't had a chance to read it yet but the backer draft of the rules for Greg Stolze's Termination Shock is out now, as well as the short story, so that means he just has the physical rewards and doing the rest of the podcast left.

The Manuscript for Delta Green: The Roleplaying Game, formerly called The Case Officer's handbook has gone out to backers. It weighs in at 555 pages, which they're expecting will be 700 pages in layout and way more expensive than the original KS or pre-order price. It's dense, the background/setting stuff is 220 pages of information. Definitely worth the wait (well, not done yet as it's still in layout but it's all great stuff).

Rand Brittain posted:Well, I mean, assuming the proofs come out right. Of course, but the printer's in Milton Keynes: it takes up to a week to get a proof, and I've never had to do more than three rounds of corrections. And in any case an update along the lines of 'I got a print proof but it looked bad, see photos' would be absolutely fine.

Yeah, a little transparency with snags in the process can go a long way. I know people are reluctant to reveal just how the sausage gets made, and obviously you shouldn't be ragging on other members of your production team unless the project is officially at the Total Clusterfuck/Someone Stole the Money level and there's nothing left to be done, but concrete details about what's going on is so much better than endless contentless WE'RE WORKING ON IT, EVERYTHING IS FINE updates or suspiciously non-advancing project steps. (How long was Exalted 3E allegedly in layout with no evidence or details, again?)

You should get an email from Kickstarter about it if your card doesn't run, and I believe you have a week to get it resolved. (I had a card blip with the Termination Shock KS, sorted it out after a few days, and it re-ran the pledge without a problem, so you should have a bit of time.)

The email will give you a hard date/time to correct it or your backing is canceled. You do it from you account in kickstarter. Just go the the website.

Annie from Bad Squiddo Games linked this kickstarter created by her Ghost of Gaia painter; it's for 28mm demons based on medieval manuscript artwork. I pledged to get some groin-faced demons with fike-pokers, but I`m tempted by the stretch goal of demons with old-timey guns, back when they spelled them gonnes.

Misspent Youth is kickstarting a new edition/print run. MY is a short-campaign game about kids fighting back against The Man in the YA dystopia of your choice. I reviewed it for F&F a while ago, and Robert Bohl himself loved the review (he was so happy that I "got it"  ) so check that out.Oh, and one of the setting for the new edition of MY is "rollergirls v The Man" so, you know. That may interest people.

Golden Bee posted:What's new in this edition? quote:Misspent Youth has been around for 9 years and has quite a few fans. To give all you old crusties an excuse to re-buy this game and deepen my coffers of fat loot, I've made a handful of small fixes and I've added five new settings to this updated "issue 1.2" version of the game. These are Authorities, YOs, and the worlds they live in. You can use them as-is, change them around a little, or just take them as examples of how to build your own worlds. quote:The book has a multiverse's worth of new settings. Each includes The Authority, the Dystopia, and the YOs. These writers showcase the kinds of things you can make with those systems: We got space, we got fantasy, we got historical drama, we got uplifted animals, we got the real loving world, and of course, it wouldn’t be an RPG supplement without your standard black and white world where you are the only ones who can bring color to it. homullus posted:I found your review very useful in my decision to back the game, thanks for linking it.
