One day, one of these clip art games is going to have a sublime movement mechanic buried under the color-fill-tool cards. And none of us will ever know.

I'm contemplating backing Dice Throne Adventures, but the options are confusing to me. As someone who has no existing Dice Throne stuff, it seems like the 'Latest Loot' ($132) bundle is the one I need since I presume I need Dice Throne Adventures + either Season One or Two of the original game in order to play? However, the description for the $132 bundle is 'If you are a backer of Season 2, pledge at this level to receive the new stuff!' What's the correct option for someone who is completely new to the series?

If you also want Season 2 the Gameplay bundle (I think $200) is where it's at. That will get you all the characters, promo packs, and DT: Adventures. dwarf74 fucked around with this message at 00:39 on Jul 26, 2019 |

Yeah the two choices for someone new to Dice Thrones (like me) are either: DT Season 1 Rerolled + DT Adventures ($132) OR DT Season 1 Rerolled + Season 2 + DT Adventures ($200). Of course being the completionist that I am I'm looking at the later. Edit: You could also just do DT Adventures + Treant vs Ninja via the future backerkit.

Does DT scale well at all (in base form, not adventures) for more than 1 v 1? I'm tempted but I have a hard time investing in yet another 1:1 game when I already have such a hard time getting Battlecon to the table.

While you can technically exceed that, I would not recommend it for higher player counts on a regular basis. The balance gets pretty weird, and the delay between turns gets excessive. I played in a 3v3 and it was just wacky.

I'm tempted but I have a hard time investing in yet another 1:1 game when I already have such a hard time getting Battlecon to the table. It plays great at three using the king of the hill variant. The default team and free-for-all rules for four are a little underwhelming - personally I think KOTH is a better solution despite not being officially designed for four player. But one could also play team and use higher team health values (otherwise the match concludes very quickly, we found). It's technically possible to play with more than four but I'd probably break into smaller groups.

Oh man. Do not leave your actual paying job before the Kickstarter you imagine will let you replace it with your dream career. It's not that Kickstarter never makes that possible (Patrick Leder has managed it, for example), but you should wait for it to actually happen first.

Redundant posted:Checking around and Heavy Cardboard seem to be worried about the longevity of Smartphone Inc. Is it a game that's static nature means that after half a dozen or so games there's not much more enjoyment to be found? 1st edition, probably; there's only so much variety you can get from randomising six technologies between two variants. 2nd edition aims to fix that by adding more technology variants, achievements (the Investors Directives) and a CEO who can unlock bonuses for the region he's in.

What a loving coward. If you want to publish a rape game, have the guts to do it and take the heat for it. Everyone has secrets. We all have things we're ashamed of, or scared to reveal, even if we would like to reveal them. So we all have a choice: tell people and risk the consequences, or just keep your dang secret. Either choice is fine. This Kickstarter attempt to have your cake and eat it too is not clever. Nobody will remember your dumb pdf when you die 30 years from now, and nobody will care, and your secret will stay hidden. It's the same as not telling anybody. Unless it's a game about suicide and the dude is planning to kill himself after the KS. In which case, I really hope he gets help instead of that.

Certainly "the Outragers will declare this verboten" is a red flag, but this definitely gives off a lot more of a regular old "pretentious wank" vibe than "sex creep." I assume it's the murder of someone he knew, or despite his protestation that the game won't involve "a tower" or whatever it might nevertheless be about the 9-11 attacks. But also yes, unless he has the time to distribute but then immediately gets hit by a bus, in 20 years maybe two people will remember and one of them will care enough to be disappointed.

There's nothing stopping someone from cracking the password and distributing it anyway, so it's just shock value to drum up interest in what's probably a mediocre-at-best RPG.
