golden bubble posted:Eagle-Gryphon Games has a new kickstarter, a semi-cooperative game about the French Revolution. Surprisingly, I'm actually turned off the theme. Rescuing innocents during the Reign of Terror is cool, but I have no interest in helping Louis XVII, Dauphin of France. Odds are, even if you do succeed, it just results in an even shorter Bourbon restoration, since I doubt Louis XVII could have ever been as tolerant as Louis XVIII of France. You find the idea of preventing a 10 year old from dying of pneumonia in prison distasteful?

Why would they want to play a game that’s exactly like their real life?

Arivia posted:I don’t think you get the idea. No one actually cares about the game being super good. It’s DA SHARE Z0NE. You’re gonna play it and it’ll be fun and you’ll have a good time with your buds. You should play it while wearing sunglasses with flames on the frames and while being polite and respectful to those around you, because that’s a cool thing to do. Haha! Punching each other in balls sure is fun, because we're wearing underwear with (popular thing) on them! Haha!

Hey folkies, come to plug my mighty shieldmaiden kickstarter!

Dr. Gargunza - thank you!

People were eating a ton of pretty brutal shipping costs by trying to factor it into the pledge levels, particularly with sharp hikes in international shipment costs, delays and any uncharged multiple shipments.

Bombadilillo posted:Yet Gloomhaven still managed to loving nail it? The best kickstarter experience. Isaac just doesn't seem to have cared a huge amount about making money on it. I mean, the original Kickstarter prices were almost half the current MSRP, and it's so full of stuff that even that price is kind of a steal. And don't get me started on how much shipping that 30 lb monster must cost.

Yeah, don't set your expectations for how much things cost by a project that wasn't out to make money. Most people putting a game on Kickstarter are hoping to make some money, and have invested a great deal of time and some money already. People need to make money if the industry is going to keep growing the way it has.

They've also done This War of Mine and Lords of Hellas. outlier posted:I was a bit put off by the delivery: They did that with Lords of Hellas as well - since there are so many minis and they've been doing the "Sundrop" paint (basically a mass production version of primer), they spread out the shipments for some who just want the core game first, as opposed to all at once. For those without it, they're still routing it from production to Poland, to ship out. Say what you will, but both aforementioned games have done well among the masses, for those that got it. I'm already in for Nemesis.

I showed my friend the HATE Kickstarter video and subsequent Root parody. I figured we'd share a good laugh, but his response was "if people are getting butthurt and offended over a little swearing, they probably shouldn't venture too far outside of tumblr". Like dude, no one is offended, people are laughing because of the very immature handling of the whole thing. I think I found HATE's intended audience.
