How can you dare to be so dismissive of a game that promises both to use polyhedral dice and feats?! Don't be such a stick-in-the-mud about a game that is being sold as a game that has game mechanics in this game about a game in the 1880s game world where you can game in it and make roles for your game adventures inside of the game with 3-8 players playing the game and the game master running the game that doesn't actually tell me anything about how to play the game.. Clear as day says I!

Pretty unfortunate we can't get even a peek at the various horse maintenance subsystems.

Marc Miller wants you to give him another chance. Traveller Fifth Edition, via @Kickstarter https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/traveller5/traveller-fifth-edition I uh... Don't see this making nearly as much as the first time around. e: It's kind of adorable there's a CD-ROM as part of the rewards. dwarf74 fucked around with this message at 19:16 on May 3, 2019 |

What was up with 5th edition? I've never really been into Traveller, so all I know about it is from forum posts so I don't have a firm grasp of the complaints, though I know there are some Opinions about which editions are worth anything.

Lord_Hambrose posted:https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/872073245/mud-blood-and-glory This has some nice art but I'm definitely in the "pass" camp, too, with no sample of the rules or their approach to the setting. The lack of a full PDF is odd on top of all that.

I'm going to engage SHAMELESS SHILL MODE for a moment and, if you've been under a rock, link to the Lancer RPG Kickstarter, you know, the mech game by Tom Killsixbilliondemons and his partner in crime Miguel Lopez, being professionally laid out by our very own Jay Iles to boot. Lancer's a week out from wrapping up at well over its funding goal, but there's a final week stretch goal that just got dropped. If it gets up to $400,000 there's going to be a substantial upgrade to every currently existing stretch goal, adding new GM- and player-facing material to each supplement, new mechs, rules for playing as the Aun and their weird Guardian/Jedi space wizards and for playing as Egregorians, the cute bug people the humanity very nearly almost genocided into extinction back in the bad old days, among other things. If you haven't pledged yet, now's your chance to rectify your horrible life choices.

Why are they kickstarting it? Have we just fallen to the point were we are bare faced acknowledging that the main point of kickstarter is marketing?

It has always been a huge tool for visibility, and that was part of its launch pitch IIRC. The money collection part is just their revenue model.

I'm going to be putting out an updated playtest doc for Flying Circus with some small fixes and a new armour and weapon system today. I was also thinking about making a thread for the game specifically here. Is that okay? Is that a thing I can do?

I love that he just forgot to put limits on like half of the "signed by the cast" pledge levels. Like, you convinced Peter Dinklage to sign an arbitrary number of copies of your game, but Samwell motherfucking Tarly put his foot down and said "I will sign no more than 100 copies of your crappy card game?" Also, this pledge level really sums up the whole thing: @An Entirely Real and Legitimate Kickstarter" posted:Pledge $99 or more :chefkiss:

Someone in the comments pointed out that while this dude probably did indeed put in an application to licence GoT, he clearly also assumed that "we're reviewing your application" wasn't a stock response and that his request wasn't shoved to the bottom of a giant pile of paper. Which, really, is just sad.

I vaguely remember that during the last Traveller kickstarter, Miller wasn't going to provide digital copies to backers because he felt it was too impractical to burn and send out so many CD-ROMs.

Have any of you guys one a CMON kickstarter before? I've pledged for the Bloodborne miniatures and am way too excited. I pledged to the Dark Souls one (which I know was run by another company) but someone stole most of it when it was delivered and I never managed to replace it. Im going all in on this one to make up for my deficit of FromSoft miniatures.

CMON games are generally fine and they have a good track record in not-imploding before a product is delivered. At the very least, the Bloodborne IP will guarantee the game has resale value if you end up not liking it. People make fun of them more for the way they strack stretch goals on, but they've certainly hit an effective way to wring money out of their Kickstarters.
