In not so lovely news, everybody seemed to like The Reward when it first dropped in 2013, and that led to a Kickstarter for more episodes. Here's the original video if you never saw it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkAYze6ae18 Anyway, they made all those follow up episodes and now they're back and want to make more! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1862188728/tales-of-alethrion-season-two

The chap who did deep space d6 has a new social deduction game on t'Kickstarter, Jumpship It's a token based game where you draw 2 a turn and give them to other players. Some tokens advance the clock and then you can airlock/quarantine other players. Seems like a fun twist on the resistance but it's $40 with shipping which seems pricey. Maybe the tokens are ultra fancy like iron clays...

Holy poo poo, the crazy kid-beating wife-abusing dude who made the insanely amateurish Game of Thrones Card Game Kickstarter got his project shut down, THEN started the same project up on Indiegogo, THEN started another one on Kickstarter and is pretending to have nothing to do with the previous ones. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/731021132/a-race-to-the-iron-throne-card-battle-game/description This is peak delusion.

I wonder if this person is just trolling kickstarter right now. Board game publisher Twitter is super pissed about this because of the Kolassal Games kickstarter drama and Papillon that just happend.

Yes now you deal 35 cards to each person and Jamie Lannister has a special ability to kill any king card (note, the Night King is the King card) Entirely different game but a clearly different person

[quote="JazzFlight" post=""494972338"]in this game every character will have a card even Ned Stark and we felt he is a good representation of the series[/quote] As Ned was deeply in denial about the mess he was in, and got his head suddenly cut off by the powers that be, I'd say he's a good representation of this game project.

The campaign is also riddled with awful grammar and spelling mistakes. Arya can kill a wight walker. You can revive a character "if your holding The Lord of Light".

Someone in the Kickstarter comments contacted the "law firm on retainer", and they have no knowledge of the dude or any of his pseudonyms and were surprised to find out that they were supposedly monitoring a project they had never heard of. So this is bonkers every way you slice it.

Part of it was definitely using slips of paper for tokens ending up with a bit of clustering, but but it doesn't feel like there's a ton of info floating around at any point. You're supposed to quarantining and killing players at certain junctions, but we managed enough for two scans which were done by alien players, so welp. Definitely not impressed enough for the price tag.

Oh wow looks like the kids are getting put in foster care, at least temporarily. https://patch.com/connecticut/milford/silver-alert-issued-3-year-old-milford-toddler quote:Milford Police told the Milford Mirror that there were no signs of abuse involving the children, and that their concerns centered on the conditions of their home. The family had relatives in Rhode Island. Poor kids. A part of me wants to make an Arrested Development Milford joke, but the whole thing is too sad.

In less lovely Kickstarter news, Lancer has blown past the final $400,000 stretch goal in the final day with six hours still left to go. This guarantees a substantial content infusion into the already-unlocked stretch goal supplements including NPCs, player-facing options, pilot gear, a bunch of stuff that would have come in the future but will instead be coming slightly sooner. This is on top of using some of their newly gained finances to take the goon-made Comp/Con character creator program and fund it, turning it into Massif Press' very own official Lancer digital toolkit.

In non-drama news, Inhuman Conditions had a big update that finally addressed how they're gonna make playing as Humans instead of Robots a bit more engaging. Part 1 is they added a little visual maze thing to the cards so that Humans have a reason to refer to their cards again, and part 2 is a yet-to-be-revealed optional roleplaying prompt. That was my number one concern from the original campaign, and I'm glad they came up with something neat for Humans.

malkav11 posted:Is there a good summary of that somewhere? I see the project was suspended but there don't seem to be any details on a cursory search. No one knows exactly what happened. What we do know is that Kolassal had a few (I think 3) kickstarters that were not yet fulfilled. No one was expecting them not to fulfill them, though. They were also apparently running a simultaneous campaign to Papillon under a different creator name. Publishers, myself included, are pissed for a couple reasons. First, this breaks with traditional KS practices. Though it's always been against the KS rules to launch a 2nd campaign before fulfilling the previous one, KS has never enforced it. As such, it's become standard practice for many publishers to start another campaign before finishing the 1st. The 2nd issue is KS killed Papillion after the campaign had closed but just before it charged backers cards. The game was beyond funded and killed without notice. It costs a lot of money and energy to run a campaign, and publishers believe (myself included) that if KS is going to kill a campaign due to their internal policies they should never have approved the project in the first place instead of killing it after funding has closed.

I was in Chicago a couple of weeks ago when they had a playtest/open session at the downtown branch of the Chicago Public Library. The creators were running it, with their own cobbles together version of a VK machine. It was really fun meeting them, getting to chat about the KS, the game, and I got to play a round. I won as a robot, and got a free CPL mug.  Can’t wait to get my copy when they finally sort it all out.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/259750074/good-society-an-expanded-acquaintance?ref=7hfavt Kickstarter for Good Society, the excellent Jane Austen rpg, to get two new expansions in print with the existing ones. These will be one for playing as the servants, and one for increasing the scope of the game to encompass multiple generations. Those will be printed alongside one that adds Magic and one for playing as dashing vigilantes and criminals. The game is really good, so this is probably your best entry point. It really shines with the physical tools like the cards so probably try to pick those up.

Man, I feel bad for mark mondragon. The grav-stug relaunch failed and he's been entirely silent since the failure I think. I hope he rallies and tries, like, his infantry units instead of a tank thing. I liked the tank, but I'd much rather get some sweet alien multipart kits

I might find purpose for weird aliens though.
