I was originally going to just post a emoticon with the link, but I'm now confused if this is an anime-waifu-gently caress-moe-girls game or not. Regardless, it's some weird pbta game with no previews so yeah. I mean, yeah, there is a video that is like 2 hours long of the developer explaining the game, but, uh, it'd be easier just to post a loving sample and let us see. Anyway, originally posted it as a joke as I assumed it was just an anime-waifu-gently caress-moe-girl game that was so blatant it was humorous, but now I'[m just confused. Can't tell if porn or if the guy just thought "monstergirls" would sell his entirely unreleated concept. Probably somewhat lewd. Also, all the updates are just fiction about the setting so the guy probably doesn't GET PbtA. Link (probably nsfw since I wouldn't want "monster girls" in my office search history): https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/josephleebush/heroines-of-the-first-age/description Fake Edit: Well, I guess this is what they say on that: quote:Is this game lewd? Sounds a lot like "Well, there is no porn IN the game, but, given the subject-mater, *wink* *wink* Covok fucked around with this message at 08:59 on Aug 12, 2017 |

Looks like it's from the guy behind Oubliette, which (at least based on the FATAL & Friends review) seems like a pretty good system. Though that was a Fate Core hack and this is a PBTA thing, so no clue if it'll be any good. No comment on the subject matter, though.

ive gotta admit, Antenociti's lastest kickstarter looks compelling for anyone who wants sci-fi vehicles. I might grab a tank for my Warpath GCPS army.

So, I am in a bizarre position. I am interested in the new Spellbound Kingdoms: Arcana kickstarter, which I imagine has been already mentioned. Specifically, I am interested in the extra chapter available at the 65$ tier; the problem is that that includes this: *A code for a POD, full-color, hardcover copy of the Spellbound Kingdoms: Arcana book purchased at cost through DriveThruRPG. I have no use for that. Does anyone want it? Perhaps enough to shoulder a bit of the 65$ I am seriously considering dropping on this elfgame, oh my god what's wrong with me?

If you're using the term "monstergirls", I'm pretty sure you're aiming for fetish overtones, whether it's with a wink or not. There would be ways to do that concept without invoking that, but they're purposefully hitting that button. Mind, the whole wink wink nudge nudge take on it actually makes me more uncomfortable than if it was straightforward and honest about it.

I'm more of a boardgamer than a tabletop RPGer, but I'm really into this KS campaign: The GameMaster's Apprentice: A Fantasy Deck for any RPG It's a series of decks of randomizer cards for any kind of storytelling system. It also allows you to kind of automate a GM if you want to play solo or cooperatively without someone leading the story. I printed out the free sample deck (half of the cards in the generic deck) from DrivethruRPG included with the ALONe Solo Game Engine that the developer made and found it pretty interesting: http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/168609/ALONe-A-Solo-Game-Engine-BETA?src=newest

So apparently all of the updates are some kind of fiction thing that backers are voting on. I'm sure if someone wanted to sit down and read that stuff they'd find more instances of "This is totally not lewd at all, nope. *nudge nudge*."

I didn't reach the anime and my eyes glazed over because it was just WORDS about the setting and "The First Age" the anime thing with all girls as presented was just the corns on the turd.

I like the recent fad of 'monstergirl' popularity because it reminds me of how many asian mythologies feature many feminine monstrous creatures, while we westerners usually focus on our masculine monsters. homullus posted:She ain't no Haula bat girl Dohohoho

The art is less porny than I was expecting, but still, monster girls. It's a genre that exists because someone flipped through the Monster Manual and said "I wanna bone it" on every page.

Dang, Soda Pop Miniatures royally hosed up their KS for Rail Raiders Infinite, and now they're going to be selling product at Gen Con after repeatedly telling backers they wouldn't sell product until most KS orders were fulfilled. And they aren't letting KS backers pick up orders at Gen Con because it'd be too hard to track. Part of me wants to camp out by their booth and hope for a good display of awkward nerd rage.

Surely you can find a better use of your time at GenCon of all places than watching those clownshoes further alienate what must be a dwindling fanbase by now

I backed 7th Sea just for reading material, and today they sent out an email saying they'll be at GenCon handing out the Quick Start book for their 7th Sea: The East line of Asian-inspired splats. Why yes, the first Nation mentioned was filled with arrogant high-borne samurai man-children, how did you know?

Hey folks, been mostly posting in the Board Game thread, but I figured I'd ask here too:kinkouin posted:It's been a few pages, just reminding goons if they want to get in on Iron Clay chips: Would anyone else be interested in piggybacking on some KS pledges I'm on when pledge managers open? Right now status looks like: Maximum Apocalypse - Pledge Manager Open (No Lock-In Date Given/Found) Fantasy Defense - Pledge Manager Open (No Lock-In Date Given/Found) Brass: Lancashire & Birmingham - Pledge Manager Open Until 9/1 Lords of Hellas - Pledge Manager Coming Soon Star Realms Frontiers - KS Just Ended Epoch: The Awakening - KS Just Ended I'm not in for many, but I'd be willing to do some late pledge stuff for people who've been on the fence for some but still want to get in late. I know there's a guy (Game Steward) that does it, but I've been mostly giving Goons the bro discount (of no cut to me) for those interested. Obviously the downside is you wait for it to arrive to me, before paying shipping to get it to you, for whatever you want. Please feel free to PM me if you want in. Been considering throwing a dollar on some KS just to allow some folks to piggy back, but stuff like Container isnt using a pledge manager so my money would be thrown to the wind.

On the heels of the Dark Souls KS, look what else is coming from Steamforged Games: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzCojjEROJs I dunno whether to be excited. Dark Souls has some excellent minis (except for the Dancer resculpt), but the rules at launch require a lot of house ruling to be fun apparently. It felt like they were rushed to market and under the thumb of their Japanese licensee for a lot of design decisions. They also recently announced that they're launching a Dark Souls Card Game available through the DS KS pledgemanager before retail next year.

JazzFlight posted:On the heels of the Dark Souls KS, look what else is coming from Steamforged Games: It requires 1 rule. And its errata 'officially sanctioned' Your double your xp and halve your lives. The game is good but when it simulates video game grinding...well turns out grinding is not a fun group activity. This halves the game length and makes grinding not possible. Also its just flat insanely better with 1-2 players over 3-4. 2 optimal. I briefly looked at the card game. But I'm not sure why I would want to play that over the mini's. Bombadilillo fucked around with this message at 00:43 on Aug 15, 2017 |

I felt that the Dark Souls board game was a massively point-missing design that utterly wasted its license. I'll be shocked if this isn't another cookie-cutter coop game that does the same.

Anyone know if Paladins has the trappings of Medieval society baked right into the rules in regards towards female player characters? and if so how ignorable is it? Trying to figure out if its a back for me or not but I'm unsure how likely I am to bring it to the table with my current playgroup.

Pendragon had a section on playing female knights. It basically boiled down to "it's wildly out of character for Arthurian literature but it's your game, so let's discuss the closest examples we could find."
