Is anyone looking at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/asmadigames/1001-odysseys ? I just don't have the wherewithal at the moment to examine if the game seems like it'd be fun to play, but it sure is pretty.

The Sentinel Comics RPG kickstarter has been live for about a week. For most RPG players (who generally aren't Sentinels of the Multiverse fans) the pitch is that for practical purposes it's Marvel Heroic Roleplaying 2e without the license - and substantially streamlined into something that doesn't need the world supply of d8s (indeed it's three dice to a dice pool). And for those who don't know Marvel Heroic it's a cousin of Fate (Cortex+ system) that was very focused on the feel of a comic book - and was probably the best in class Supers RPG where you could write characters on an index card, but they still had enough mechanical bite to feel substantially different in terms of crunch even if no one plays with dice as much in this game as Tony Stark did when he was adjusting his armour in MHRP.

I believe Cam Banks is/was involved with both as well, so it's got a pedigree.

Hauki posted:I dunno, watching hyper-defensive fans try to rationalize the whole thing was pretty amusing. The worst part is watching them argue you should ignore the poo poo because the mechanics are good. But the mechanics mean almost every single action requires a high variance dice roll*, and the game encourages grinding enemies, when there was already a low variety of enemies to fight. Seriously, who wants to grind the same encounter in a game where fights can take an hour each? *Low variance dice can introduce risk management into a game. High variance dice leads to luck mattering more than decisions.** ** They argue it's like XCOM. But XCOM never forced the play to roll well with every action in base management or get screwed. XCOM doesn't ever ask the player to roll the RNG in base management.

I've played the Sentinels RPG at a couple of cons and it's really fun, I bought the starter pack a few years back--I'm excited they're finally going to be releasing the core product. My group really took to it.

The stories seem to have libertarian themes, although to be fair, that may just be the easiest way they could think of to replace violence in what is clearly intended to be a kid friendly game.

Got drat with some tweaking that game could have been interesting in terms of theme and the body horror bullshit instead you get to play a boring rear end game over and over again

Cerepol posted:Are you saying that nearly every action having a 10% chance of death is insanely boring??? When your personal input matters that little, it becomes less like playing sports, and more like watching sports, which is a completely different type of fun. Snakes and ladders can be very exciting, but it lacks agency and input. In some ways, it feels like really old D&D. Oh no, Jonathon died. Time for Konathon to step up to the plate. The characters are so doomed that you don't even create any attachment to the individual. Just replace the name and reuse the character sheet. I can't even form proper attachments to the collective village, because of that ending.

The funny thing is it might have actually worked if they'd done it preemptively, from the start. But they didn't. So it definitely didn't.

Kingdom death has some really super hosed up stuff that just straight up doesn't fly. The pin up models weren't the worst part of it, not by a longshot. I believe that's the penis tail of some rape monster in my avatar. EDIT: Oh and hey the new TMNT mini game kickstarter has Usagi in. That's neat.

I'm in it for him and the deviations turtles, unless they announce something kick rear end in the last 48 hours because my money is also tight but I am a child inside. Also its the 35th anniversary of UY and Sakai is working on something for it, although i'm fairly sure its not kickstarter related.

I was fine completely ruling out getting the whole package until someone pointed out that they pretty much have all the Turtles in time bosses in the game (minus Tokka and Razar). And now its harder. I had an american to eu converter for that game.

The system caught my eye, because "version of Tales of the Arabian Nights that doesn't devolve into aimless garbage" is one of those grails I'll never stop chasing (alongside "good version of Betrayal at House on the Hill"). And board game designs led by women are still rare enough to be noteworthy. But *wow* the writing samples are sending me into diabetic shock. I have a decent tolerance for twee, but trying to sell me on a narrative game with stakes no larger than "intergalactic pillow fight" or "deciding the best place to eat cake" just takes the air out of any enthusiasm I might've had. Storybook doesn't have to mean toothless.

From the credits, as well as Cam, Dave Chalker, Philippe-Antoine Meynard, and Amanda Valentine were all in the core team for MHRP - and they and Amanda's husband are the listed designers from the RPG side here (almost everyone else listed is from Greater than Games/Sentinel Comics). They can't call it MHRP v2 for many reasons - but it's most of the same team taking the same sort of design directions.

Plenty to back these days as is; someone will eventually make a story game I want.

Yeah, and the supers RPG lineage goes even further with the likes of Darren Watts and Christopher McGlothlin who did a lot of work for Champions and Mutants and Masterminds respectively.
