cyberia posted:This sounds so good. Will it be kickstarted or on a different platform? I will likely just release it on DriveThruRPG. I don't know if I'm going to do another kickstarter: I already have serious problems with perfectionism and feeling my work isn't worth anything, and having my work kickstarted amplifies it. I'm glad I did it for Flying Circus (the success got me out of a seriously unhealthy living situation) but I'm so terrified I'm not going to deliver to the standards of my backers now, and I'm scared to take creative risks. On top of that, I've got like... six or seven projects that I have written which just need layouts and art, and doing that would make a lot of sense financially right now, but I can't work on them while the Kickstarter is still outstanding. I think I need a little bit where I can just release games without pressure.

Has there been any peep from Frank about Spellbound Kingdoms: Arcana anywhere? The last KS update was in July of last year.

Yeah, Dis/Connect sounds 100% up my alley. Rambling transhumanist diatribes as a mechanic? Sign me up! Also, I'm very tempted to pick up the new Ninja Turtles games that went up, since I really liked Out of the Shadows, but I really need to downsize my board game collection and it's really expensive because of all the minis.

It's got the structural DNA of modern storygames but the stats and action are treated like a more old-school game. “I am already eating from this trash can all of the time, the name of this trash can is Shadowrun.”

HidaO-Win posted:Man a proper satisfyingly crunchy Cyberpunk RPG would be great. Infinity from Mophidius is probably the closest even though its a bit more on the space opera side than I’d want for a cyberpunk game. Out of curiosity, which kind of cyberpunk? The strongly 80s retrofuture kind, GitS-y high-tech near future, Person of Interest immediate future, focusing on Shadowrun-style corporate raids, mysteries, high concept thematic exploration, just being a rad cyborg with bigger numbers than whoever you're beating up...?

For some reason Zorro: the RPG sounds appealing to me. Maybe because a game where everyone is a swashbuckler is always fun, and the setting of early California seems to have a bunch of interesting ways to take it.

Millennium Blades is getting the BattleCON Unleashed treatment in a couple weeks, with a final expansion and a big storage option (though in this case, the final expansion's box IS the storage box). There's a preview of the KS page up, $60 for all the new content, $220 for everything MB.

Memnaelar posted:Any takes on Vindication? Even after watching a play-through I'm not really sure what my feelings are about the game. I like it a lot, though I've only played a handful of games with my wife. It's definitely got good production values and a lot of replayability due to the large number of cards, possible synergies, and the customization with adding and removing the various expansions. It's also accessible enough that I was able to get her non-gaming self to play multiple games with me, so that was a plus too. I always felt like I had a lot of options at any time, and it could be challenging to evaluate all the possibilities in the early game. Once several turns have passed then you'll probably start building some kind of engine to let you shove around all the cubes, so if that sort of thing appeals then it could be pretty enjoyable. I'd describe it as a mix of resource management, exploration, engine building, and a light territory control theme. My complaints are: The number of options feels overwhelming at times, and in those situations you can usually just do something randomly and not feel like you made a bad decision. There's almost no interaction between players, and with only two players even the limited interactions might not come into play. I don't think I ever got points from the region control mechanic when I played with her, and with only a couple players even controlling a unique region can be pointless - I claimed the trait tile, so she just went for relics instead of giving me those 2 VP. The game can just end abruptly due to the random win conditions you draw and reveal during the game. It's kind of unsatisfying when you both feel like your master plan is about to come together, but then someone scores an extra 2 points and oh whoops the game is over now because one of you already had 3 relics. It occasionally feels like there are too many mechanics and that you're constantly referring to the rulebook because you haven't visited this particular region in the last few games or don't remember how an empowered draw works. The minis are cool but unnecessary, though it looks like in the new expansion they'll have more use. No variance between characters/guilds beyond your random starting companion. With how diverse the minis are, I'd love to see some interesting powers. This also looks to be addressed in the expansion. Overall I'm still happy with my purchase, and I think some of my complaints will definitely be addressed when I pull my friends away from our Gloomhaven campaign and we can play a couple 4-5 player games of Vindication. There's a ton of game there, the flow of turns is quick, and I always felt like I was having fun when I played.

One thing that this KS kinda highlights that kinda annoys me about L99 products is making KS stretch goals as mini expansions but also releasing (maybe?) other mini expansions, and I have no idea (at a glance) whether or not I have those products already. I do like their push towards storage solutions, though.

It looks like we might actually get something out of Project: Dark next week? I am not holding my breath. But still. Only thing more surprising would be a refund from Deck of Legends since I dodged the Far West bullet.

Literally just replied into a conversation I was having about a lovely anime VA harassing and assaulting people at conventions with a dumb joke about white guys with beards all looking the same. Glad to see he's still hard at work on everything that isn't Far West.

This will only be of interest to game designers and possibly writers, but I'm doing an art challenge for February where I'm also licensing the art for games and books. https://igg.me/at/30bookcovers Here's one of them.  I'll probably post once more when I'm near the end and have most of the 30 pieces I'm making done.

A friend of mine just posted their very first Kickstarter. It's a cool kind of Shadow Of The Colossus Fate game with a focus on community building, the latter half of that is why I'm excited for it. I got to see some preview rules a bit ago and it looks pretty cool, tho I haven't seen the finished rules just yet. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1325743523/titan-hunt
