I really want to go in on a physical copy for Americana but the BattleCON KS is a thing too and money's pretty tight at the moment so I'll need to see which one gives.

Nemesis Of Moles posted:As of this morning, Americana is 90% funded. That's incredible, and a lot of that comes down to everyone in here, SA is something like #3 on our backers/funding list. I was hoping I could ask for one big push from ya'll, some tweets or throwing rocks through windows or however we're supposed to promote stuff these days, to get us through that last 10% and into Funded Land, where the streets are made of honey and Nem's heart rate can return to a normal healthy state. Dude, even if you didn't have a track record of awesome, you sold me on Americana with just the race list. Pimped you on facebook to my friends list of other nerds, hopefully it gets you another backer or two. Liquid Communism fucked around with this message at 08:07 on Oct 11, 2018 |

I was over 1000 posts behind on this thread, but has anyone got any further insight on the Lex Arcana game up at the moment? It's in its' last week or so and I'm not sure whether to back it. Quickstart rules leave me wondering how some of it works still. Concept is an alternate history Roman cohort that fights threats to the empire from within and without, including monsters and dark magicks.

Awesome to see Americana get funded! Glad I managed to get in on this even if I never play a game. In rather unrelated news, Diehard Miniatures are doing another kickstarter for their Oldhammer range that I think is just about funded.

With the shown stretches, it's going to be 12 new spirits, and 10 'aspects', which are like sub-boards that fit over existing spirits to change them up. Either changing their innate powers, or their special rules. That's a ton, considering the base game has 8 spirits and zero aspects.

We just hit our first stretch goal! This is my first stretch goal! I'm pretty hype about this, expanding the Tom's Dead pilot to a full 6 episode audio play/drama podcast. With that out the way, we've got our sights on the fantasy 50s Super Sentai setting - I really really hope we get this one.

I'm probably going to back it anyway, but May of 2020 is way too far from now.

The Ministry are hoping it will. Offering unprecedented access to the rich and powerful citizens of Spire, a popular high-class bakery has been acquired by revolutionary forces, and the player characters are placed at the forefront of a distribution network that sees them placing poisoned petit-fours in the perfumed palaces of politicians. Hell yeah I want to operate a revolutionary bakery.

Did spire end up being good? It seemed too close to Blades in the Dark when the KS was ongoing and I haven't heard much about it since then.

I wouldn't really compare Spire to Blades in the Dark, the only thing they really have in common is being set in grim urban fantasy locales. BitD is very, very focused on heists, that's it's primary angle and the game largely serves that particular gameplay loop of doing crimes, downtime between crimes, managing your hopefully growing and influential gang of criminals, and then doing more crimes. The Spire has a broader scope, you're playing clandestine revolutionaries seeking to topple an oppressive regime, and how you go about that is sort of up in the air. Like, BitD can be flexible in application, you can play assassins or smugglers instead of straight thieves, but Spire is much less mechanically focused on a particular loop and instead just presents you with the city and says "okay, go nuts." Spire is pretty dang neat but my biggest critique of it is that for a game based on attempting to influence, change, and ultimately liberate a city, there isn't really anything in the way of mechanical systemization thereof. BitD makes downtime, territory acquisition/expansion, and developing your gang into a part of the game, while the Spire doesn't, and I think that's a bit of a missed opportunity to have things like territory maps, district bonuses and penalties, etc.
