My Raging Heroes stuff finally showed up! It's incredibly overdue, but the quality is pretty amazing.

happy new year nerds https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/197523193/infinite-galaxies-core-rules quote:nfinite Galaxies is a science-fiction role playing game of epic adventure for 3-6 players. The game is based on the Apocalypse engine with some cool tweaks to better model stuff like star ship combat, robots, aliens and other hallmarks of Sci-Fi! Disclosure: I know the editor but it looks like a fun and light PBTA game. I'm backing it.

It looks okay, but yeah, doesn't seem particularly inspired and the D&D stats are a little mystifying. I really enjoyed Uncharted Worlds for my PBTA space opera and this doesn't do much interesting that it doesn't.

On a more positive note, I ended up backing Black Hole Council and Moveable Type 2e, since they both looked pretty enjoyable. Also Darkest Night 2e just arrived from China, after the loving debacle that was the miniatures has been resolved. I'm so glad I skipped those, goddamn.

One corner of my shipping box was ripped open and it had been punctured several times, but the game box is pristine and didn't even have the shrinkwrap ripped. Kudos to whoever shipped it. Hopefully I'll be able to try it tonight!

Here's the breakdown as I grasp it. New White Wolf = 90s Edgelords who write about Full rear end Rape Stiffness, hire people who write thinly veiled takes on their trans enemies into the games as serial killers using transphobic stereotypes (but also a transwoman who unfortunately got caught in the crossfire), and think LARPing is the best thing ever and that the entire game system and setting should be oriented around it first. Stands behind its employees, which should be good, but isn't because the ones they stand behind are abusers, harassers, etcetera. Chose to republish a convicted pedophile's so-so, non-essential story collection (well, in fairness, he was only the editor) as their first official publication, putting fresh royalties in the dude's pockets. Old White Wolf = please come back, benign neglectful CPP subsidiary Onyx Path Publishing = Mostly okay, slightly sleazy in its pay practices but not significantly above industry standards, tends to fire abusers and rapists rather than doubling down and going 'well, if you were really mature...' at those who raise the issue but stands behind employees otherwise unless they break a contract. Did publish Beast, though.

Cavaliers of Mars is also Rose Bailey's project so it's far from regressive. It's also got nothing to do with White Wolf since it's an "original" property.

Holden is male and the literal opposite of credible; he throws poo poo at Onyx Path because he got fired for not delivering on time, then complained about not getting paid for work that he was neither asked for nor contracted for, and continues to throw poo poo to cover for being best friends with sexual harasser John Morke.

The Broken World kickstarter (a somewhat stalled goon project, not to be confused with Broken Worlds by Abbadon which is a K6BD: RPG) recently posted a backer-only New Year update. I donated to the author privately back in 2015 and thus do not count as a backer; could anyone please share the update's contents?

I will still defend it, though, as the best way to get 3.Path people into more indie games. I've run dozens of demos at conventions and seeing people's reactions to things like "we made everyone's characters in ten minutes" and just being able to do cool stuff without having to consult a pile of books is great.

Backers got the corebook PDF in July 2017, physicals went out in October. Of the 18 sourcebooks promised, we've seen gently caress-all. I mean, they'll happen eventually. The Mutant Chronicles sourcebooks came out, though it took three years past the due date.

moths posted:Isn't that on Corvus Belli? I remember something about them needing to micro approve every line of fluff and being really slow about it. Yeah, Corvis Belli is a tiny, tiny company that has a full plate just doing infinity. They are really protective of the IP, so having to OK everything definitely slowed it down a ton. I think it will lead to a much better game long term, but having to rewrite large sections of text based on facts about the universe never publicly revealed makes it hard on outside writers. But having to think about lots of minutia about the setting that wouldn't come up in the context of a war game is great for the setting.
