S.J. posted:A ton of Warhammer stuff is way closer to 32mm than actual 28mm. Warmachine is 32mm and they aren't that far off from each other. Isn't Warmachine 30mm? 30/40/50 are the base sizes.

If the idea of drawing as a resolution mechanic for a Supers RPG interests anyone, Is It A Plane!? might interest you. It's by a guy I know who last year successfully kickstarted a rather awesome game called I Love The Corps (sci-fi action horror game inspired by Aliens, Doom and a few other sources). I haven't had the chance to play it, unfortunately, but I've heard good things from those who have.

Yeah, going from 28mm to 32mm is an increase of one seventh of the original height. That's like having somebody who's 5 foot 3 standing next to somebody who is 6 feet tall.

For reference, at my particular scale the difference is roughly equivalent to the 28mm guy next to the HLBS in terms of disparity. You really can't use the two together except for with monsters, special heroes, and poo poo - they aren't just taller, they're a completely different order of magnitude.

It works better in fantasy or ancients, but once you hit mass production it starts looking weird when the tall guy's Thompson SMG is 25% larger than the rest of his squad's.

I think I missed any discussion on Black Rose Wars, https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lmstudio/black-rose-wars , looks like a Renaissance take on Mage Wars? Does anyone have a read on it?

Haven't seen this posted in here...Queen Games is doing a Kickstarter for a new edition of Alhambra; The Designers' Edition Long story short, there's something like 9 or 10 expansion modules exclusive to this campaign, they're doing an art redesign on the game, and there's a "Mega Box" edition that's going to include every single old expansion, all the new expansions, some tile towers, oh; and all the tiles are slightly larger than a normal edition of Alhambra.

There's a whole lot of cool things happening in this kickstarter from Laser Terrain. The EL panels look interesting and I love the look of the Two Towers a lot. gently caress me it's so drat pricy though.

I don't recall seeing much talk about it, but I finally decided to back The Faceless -- https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/alterego-games/the-faceless. It is one of the most innovative attempts at a board game that I've yet seen. I mean, magnetics have been used before in some pretty interesting ways, but this blows those away. Plus, it looks like it will probably be fun to play as a bonus.

Aren't those the magnets that are really good at killing kids if they swallow them? Which seems like a poor choice to include in a kids game.

8one6 posted:This kills me because Alhambra is one of my favorite board games but gently caress supporting Kickstarter exclusive bullshit. Alhambra is an excellent game at the base. I've never played with an expansion to it that actually made it a better game, just a busier or more disjoint game. (Kind of like Carcassonne, excepting the first couple of expansions, or Settlers.) So this Kickstarter is, like, triply not for me, but it does make me want to put Alhambra out on the game table, which is like the Bat-signal for "I want to play this soon" in our house.

They're also prone to chipping and have strong enough pull that injuries are possible if you're not careful. On top of that, they're on the prohibited list for aeroplanes.

maybe it's just their promotional angle but it seems pretty clear that the thought process for magnet game was "how can we use magnets as much as possible" and not "what would using the magnets do for the game"

Also the premise of the game is a straight ripoff of Stranger Things, and why would you want to support that?

The Confrontation Kickstarter updates always have a weird "Please don't leave" vibe about them. I checked their numbers and it looks like a lot of backers unsurprisingly jumped ship when they were waiting to hear what kind of plastic they were doing.

It's also loving itself by still not having individual factions available for no clear reason. They made it a stretch goal that's impossible to achieve because there's nothing backers can buy to get the.

I'm interested, but I'd appreciate knowing more about how this plays and if it has value for more experienced gamers. (I like HotD's other stuff, although I've never actually managed to get anyone to play them with me, so maybe that should be a sign not to blow $50 on another Neat Thing...)

It’s not going to give you a tactical experience by any means! Watch the actual play for rules explainer. It’s only good if you want to play in that kind of setting.

It’s the seriousness of the project that just can’t be real. Then again I’ve known people like this and if there were such a thing as Kickstarter at the time they probably would have done something like this so... I dunno. I kind of hope it’s real.

"At the age of 12 I was considered to be one of the most creative/inventive people in the United States (within 98-99% according to TCAP)."  TCAP? Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program? Are... are they literally saying "a teacher told me I was special when I was a child, therefore give money?"
