I just use one of those heavy duty reusable grocery bags you can get from most stores for like $3. They're great and can hold 3-4 normal sized games.

If I wanted to put the party against a giant unknowable monster I wouldn't need a custom giant Cthulhu. I'd just steal from my extant supplies like I always do, with the party as 20mm Starcraft minis and the monster as a 20" shark plushie.

I get that it's a big miniature, but $150 seems ridiculous, let alone the 'clearly intended for the base game already' stretch goals to date. CMON will definitely make a few million on this, but it really does seem like a lovely kicktarter with bad tiers, bad marketing and meh stretch goals.

Yeah, dropping the irony, as far as miniature prices go the cost of that thing is not unreasonable to me. I certainly wouldn't pay $150 for it, but I have adjacent interests and won't judge people that would. CMON's business practices and the quality of their flagship games (components aside) are another thing entirely.

This is 570mm so it would be more like, umm, 50 times as big? That can't be right...

Yeah, I think with these mini-centric boardgame kickstarters the smart thing to do is just pledge for the minis and be pleasantly surprised if the game is any good. Not that I've ever actually backed any of CMON's stuff.

Atlas Games has a Kickstarter up for a new version of Over the Edge, one of my favorite games I've only gotten to play, like, two times. Also on offer, PDFs of the complete line of previous editions, including the novel Pierced Heart. A while back, there was an anniversary edition in a all-the-frills hardcover, which I have, but I like the look of the basic hardcover here, so that's what I'm going for, along with the dice. Here's my best shot at explaining the game: OTE is a narrative stew of conspiracy theories, alien invasions, weird science, witchcraft and general paranoia, all pushing at each other in the close confines of an island dictatorship, fitted with a loosey-goosey new-agey RPG system that works off of wide interpretation of 2d6 rolls. (Jonathan Tweet is closer to Everway, here, than D&D, is what I'm saying.) It sounds like a mess, and maybe it is, but what a glorious mess, with ideas jumping off almost every page, and some of the best supplements I've ever read. It's a game where I read something, go "well, how would that ever work in a game?" and then realize that I already have a dozen related ideas that will work just fine.

I've been collecting OTE cards for the last couple of years, picking up a box here, box there every once in a while. While no one plays it around here, I have enough cards I can make a grip of decks and hand them out to my friends to play, it's a fun game!

alg posted:X-Wing is arguably the most popular minis game and is cheaper but is also pre painted and licensed. Is it cheaper? $40 buys you the X-wing starter that gives you three ships. $40 also buys you First Strike, the small 40k starter, that gives you 15 miniatures. Also, I don't think we have any solid stats for popularity of wargames in the last couple of years, but we know that GW has been turning record profits since the launch of 8th edition.

I think you're 100% correct. There are some early versions of this floating around, but they're currently infeasible for more than prototyping. Filament printers, for instance, will jack up the print time by an order of magnitude based on how many colors you're using, and the quality still isn't there for sellable tabletop minis, at least from the prosumer level I've seen. I'm sure there's a goon more knowledgeable than I am on the subject of bleeding edge 3D printing tech, though.

For those who think they might be interested but shied away, as I did, from OTE in their youth for crunchier hobo murder systems, the first update has a downloadable draft PDF of the book for your review. Love it when publishers do that - this'll likely be a buy for me as a result.
