Does anyone have any experience with Shieldwolf Miniatures? I've never heard of them but they seem to have done some kickstarters in the past and their style looks great to me. I don't need the goblins they're kickstarting but their human warbands look fantastic and the price is on par with Mantic. I found one review of their miniatures that looks promising but there just isn't a lot of online presence or discussion and I'm leery of buying a bunch of miniatures that might be really frustrating to paint.

I brought a box of their rangers a while ago. Haven't got around to doing anything with them as yet. On the thin side compared with the 'heroic' proportions of GW stuff. Was weighing up getting some of their space paladins - although I would end up getting a bunch of stuff from Anvil Industries to go along with them, weapons and such.

I'm thinking of early mantic stuff where the two dollars I saved not buying a GW dude was in no way worth trying to scrub mold lines off the center of a cape or trying to paint the weird lumpy thing a figure was prominently holding up. It taught me to be wary of cheaper minis.

The main downside is the usual RPG one: "I sure wish I had four other people to play this with regularly" That downside never stops me from buying/backing.

Not having seen your system, maybe like the (otherwise bad) board game TIME Stories, but with rock-hard abs at the end of a mission rather than unmitigated frustration at the repetition.

The basic, basic, fundamental building block of the system came from this 200-word rpg submission I wrote back in 2017. Jon and Jef covered it (briefly) in System Mastery episode 95 (~42:25). What I'm kickstarting now is significantly more robust.Lord_Hambrose posted:I hope someone who is a trainer at a gym starts running this game in place of a Spin Class or whatever.

Hey, a friend of mine is doing a wee zine on Kickstarter -its all about the 90s sci fi horror game, SLA Industries; specifically why people have remained fans of this rad wee setting over 30 years, what people are passionate about, what people still find exciting. Are you a SLA fan? Are you wondering what the deal is? Are you curious how a fan community for a relatively small, weird horror game to has lasted so long? Do you like stickers? Check it out and consider backing! Time & Tide

More zines - A Rasp of Sand is a super cool roguelite with legacy mechanics built on Knave (which I understand to be an osr engine of some sort). It funded in nine hours, is clocking in at like 900% of its target, and closes in 50 minutes. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dastardlydave/a-rasp-of-sand-a-roguelike-tabletop-rpg-experience

Knave desperately needs a functional setting piece on top of it, and this is certainly that. I regret having missed it.

Belatedly got around to looking at the demonstration video and Quickstart for Unspeakable: Sigil & Sign and was perturbed to note that C.A. Suleiman is extensively credited in the Quickstart, despite having been kicked off the team substantially before the Quickstart was published due to the harassment stuff. Specifically, he's credited among the writers, credited as a team member, and gets an "Unspeakable created by C.A. Suleiman" credit. The first is fair enough if his writing is still in there, though it'd be preferable if it were gone. The second is misleading since he was kicked off the team. The third seems like redundant praise, because what's he created there, exactly? The idea of the system? No, it's a riff on Mark Rein-Hagen's stuff. The setting? No, it's the Cthulhu Mythos. Crediting him with being the "creator" of the whole shebang seems to be solely on the basis that he led the writing team, but given that, again, he got kicked off the team it seems misleading to tout him for that, unfair to whoever took over from him as team lead not to give them an equivalent credit, and altogether unnecessary for the credit to be there. The overall effect is that the credits page seems to present the whole project as being very much The C.A. Suleiman Show, which makes something of a mockery of the gesture of removing him. Also the system looks like it's generally Not For Me. It's a riff on Mark Rein-Hagen's I Am Zombie system and I should really have picked up on that sooner, oh well. Am getting a refund sorted out.

Who would’ve guessed that cartel is late? I mean, anyone who knew it was a magpie game. How long does it take to put 90 extraneous cabròns into a rulebook?

Do you have anything else like 7 in the pipeline? Really gives me a Chris Foss vibe. Maybe I should write a couple of novels to go with them!

If anyone is mad enough to want it, Petersen Games are doing a 70-hour Kickstarter for their giant Cthulhu the Harbinger figure. $49 plus shipping gets you the figure, rules for using it in six separate games, and an 11x17 art print.

Critical Role's kickstarter to do an animated short has made nearly $4 million already, and it's not even 24 hours since they kicked it off. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/criticalrole/critical-role-the-legend-of-vox-machina-animated-s At this point, with it being 45 days long as well I think they're going to run out of anything to add to the stretch goals, be interesting to see if the typical 'how dare we not get more stuff or free' comments come out from the abundance of entitled customers. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/criticalrole/critical-role-the-legend-of-vox-machina-animated-s
