It's also not a campaign to create an RPG, it's a campaign to buy the reference books to create an RPG. At some point. "Risks and challenges: The main challenge we will have to face is time itself. I have several jobs at the moment but I think I can fully give all of my remaining free time working on the game (apart from work I have no distractions)." Don't worry, there'll be another kickstarter to fund the actual game. huge fan of the crusades, me i collect them and sort them by atrocity albigensian? oh man good choice, good choice, i love the slaughter of defenseless French pacifists livonian, now, that's a good one but I mean, the real key to the movement, the crescendo? gotta be children's big fan of the children's crusade third? *sucks teeth* nah you don't want third

Wyrd finally locked their The Other Side KS, so looking forward to them getting it shipped out. They've had a hell of a year so far with multiple delays in shipping from China and customs, but hopefully they'll get back up to speed.

Not long left on the Stonehaven Adventurers KS - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2087444096/stonehaven-adventurers-2018 I caved and pledged despite having like a mountain of unpainted stuff. Stonehaven are cool and good and deserve support, I've backed them a couple of times before and not had any trouble (the Giants KS was a bit delayed but well within norms for KS).

But, cool I guess? It could be them just back-burnering it so they could focus on getting The Witcher RPG out for GenCon or the like. I know they had The Witcher close to finished at last year's GenCon, but wanted to make sure Mekton Zero landed first. They could be shifting priorities, particularly if Cyberpunk 2077 has to become a priority product as well. It's all just a guess, but I've been left wondering why I haven't heard much more about The Witcher in the meantime other than knowing approval was likely to be a lengthy process.

Escape from the Dark Castle seems like a kind of neat light beer and pretzels RPG that I could play with family and friends less into tabletop stuff, and is coming up on its final week. Has anyone picked up the game from its first KS and can give their impressions? Mors Rattus posted:huge fan of the crusades, me Serendipitously, I just started listening to Thomas Asbridge's history of the Crusades on Audible when this came up. It's a very interesting insight into the groundwork of a lot of the issues in the region, but the actual events have been consistently cringeworthy and I don't know how you could possibly romanticize it without distorting it heavily. Pretty horrific stuff all around.

In other news, I spotted some SLA Industries: Cannibal Sector 1 minis while I was looking for something else on a retailer site. Weird, as I've heard nothing about my pledge being fulfilled in the slightest. Today I checked my email and found this: quote:Important Update from Nightfall Games Although this comment seems to suggest the above isn't exactly true: quote:Using companies house to look at details combined with Facebook posts means this all stinks of dishonesty.

Tachyon Squadron (a Fate supplement about being fighter pilots leading dramatic lives in the Star Totally-Not-International-Brigades) has about one week to go and needs another $8000 for Evil Hat to include detailed spaceship creation rules (as it stands, spaceship stat blocks are provided for the handful of ships in the setting, but that's it), which would really help me in reusing it to run Star Wars games. I did a quick write-up of the dogfighting rules here, in case anyone is curious - it's a pretty good and elegant system for running them in Fate. e; vv thanks.

The art made it look cool and I was sort of interested until I saw someone describe it in a review as being like 'Talisman but with fewer choices' and saying that it would probably hit the table more often for them due to being a shorter, simpler version of Talisman.

Guy Goodbody posted:Why is there always at least one third party Blood Bowl team Kickstarter running Loads of teams are still underrepresented, plus it's easy to come up with an interesting theme for BB teams and make minis for them. BB has loyal enough fans to have kept it alive while GW dropped it, so it's fairly lucrative.

Consentacle finally arrived, and my wife and I gave it a shot. Playing on any difficulty below "no talking or suggestive hand motions whatsoever" seems way too easy. Also playing without the extra power cards is fine exactly once then too simple. Overall, it's fine for a simple low communication coop and the theme is very sex positive which is why we backed it in the first place. Oh yeah and the plastic tokens are actually pretty and feel nice.

Guy Goodbody posted:Why is there always at least one third party Blood Bowl team Kickstarter running Because GW abandoned the game for a long time despite how popular it is, and BB Teams are relatively easy for small independent minis companies to produce. There are several companies who basically do nothing but alternate BB Teams (Impact and Willy Miniatures come to mind). Subsequently there's a lot of momentum and increased impetus for these companies to provide miniatures for teams which haven't been covered by GW yet (and in some cases they are re-releasing existing teams at a higher scale to match the new GW stuff). They can also give a lot of variety to the models instead of say everyone using the exact same Human figures, and have a bunch of extra stuff like dugout support crew and the like which GW don't make yet. Plus yes in some cases they are titty minis.

This is apparently what the Daruma facebook post was, it's now been removed from their facebook page: quote:Time to come clean - we have a big issue with fulfilling the Kickstarter, and also with being able to move forward in any meaningful way. The Kickstarter update which went out this evening was not from Daruma. Please let me be very clear and specific on this - that was not a Daruma update, it was made illegally by Mark Rapson of Wordforge - he was already informed not to use the Kickstarter logins that he'd been given and claimed to not have them, clearly a lie (he has also, against Kickstarter regulations, changed the passwords). The Nightfall team are desparate to save the Kickstarter, which we fully understand but unfortunately Dave and Jared have resigned from Daruma and given the Kickstarter logins to Word Forge Games, that they have taken this step is understandable but also, unfortunately.. illegal in several ways - ways that they were fully informed of prior to taking this action. Interestingly both Allsop and Earle, from Nightfall, were also directors at Daruma and had been since the company was founded. 'Nightfall Games' was founded in Feb of this year: https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/SC589969 And has the same Jared Earle and Dave Allsop who quit Darume right before Nightfall then revoked the license to take back the rights, transfered the sculpts/stock to 'worldforge games' (In founding Nightfall they also hosed up and registered word forge as a director). Daruma's accounts were filed before the kickstarter finished, and they're late with their 2017 accounts. Without knowing any of the details, it certainly looks as if they've spent all the money, then ditched the company to start a new company to claim the assets as debt, in a typical 'do bad poo poo' directors juggling companies format. Or alternatively Earle and Allsop did it to try and save SLA from the failing kickstarter. Also, in the 'wtf' area, I can't find any filing for 'Nightfall Games' prior to this new 2018 registration.

I cancelled my backing for Neta-Tanka with some amount of regret. I really think it looks like a good game, but it's hard for me to justify putting down $65 USD for what looks like a pretty light-ish (but charming) worker placement game that I won't get until mid 2019. Hopefully it'll come to retail and I can pick it up at a discount without missing the "deluxe" components. Only thing I'd really care about is the two-level player boards.
