$25 to have your name printed in the book...and that's it $75 for the 'personalised card' version $100 for a personalised playing piece version $200 for a signed version (max 100) So the only options to get it, are all personalised, which as we all know always works well with actually delivering kickstarter products. There is no 'just get the game' version. The comments section is amazing though, he's got a whole 3800 followers on twitter and clearly thinks he's the smartest guy in the room and claims to be famous. quote:I've been asked for my autograph before. When a "signature" becomes an "autograph," that makes you famous. Note, he claims to be the inventor of 'gothic chess' and so of course there's a square on the board for 'gothic chess stock' right next to 'google stock'! You'll be shocked to learn it looks like he created his own wikipedia page for it as well. PST fucked around with this message at 20:48 on Sep 30, 2019 |

JazzFlight posted:But if we boycott Kickstarter, this incredible game will never fund! Yeah, if you guys aren't reading the comments for this one you're missing out. Apparently this dude's claim to fame is being some sort of chess wonk and he made this game at the behest of his 3800 twitter followers, it's great poo poo.

This probably shocks no one, but there is no full page article of this guy in the 12/12/12 issue of the Philly Inquirer. None of the article titles for that issue have anything to do with anything this guy has claimed he has done, and his name isn't in any of the metadata.

Rowan, Rook & Decard (Grant Howard, Chris Taylor & Mary Hamilton - makers of Spire) posted a very good, nuanced piece on kickstarter's anti-union attitude, and their own, currently running kickstarter for Heart: The City Beneath https://rowanrookanddecard.com/kickstarter-heart-and-the-union/ Based on their previous days, they're probably down about £1k from people switching their pledges to £1. Hopefully those same people will follow through with backerkit and they'll make the money back after. And here's a link to the kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gshowitt/heart-the-city-beneath/

quote:People who say "This will never...." are people who don't realize it is the consensus of the people who say they want to see this that matters. The entire population of the world minus 1 needs to be against this to be a 100% guarantee it won't get funded. If the entire population - 2 gives $0, and 1 person gives $16,000 then it will get funded. So the nay-sayers can save time by saying nothing, because that is the same amount of consideration I will give your post. If it doesn't get funded in 30 days, it goes away. This isn't my life's work. It's a funny game my contacts on Parler have talked about with me. They suggested this to me. I'm not doing this to get rich, so stop commenting like that's what this is about. It's a 36" x 36" quad-folding board with funny "news bites" condensed onto 3"x5" cards that makes fun of our basically ruined Constitutional Republic. And because of the board size, and the graphics company that will do the final version of the board, it will cost $16,000 for all of the setup, pre-processing, and manufacturing. Don't like a roll-and-move game as some of you say? I don't care. Some people do like it. Some people have friends and gatherings and politically-orientation conversations that engage the mind. Some people do laugh at political satire when put into a meaningful context. Some people actually read Atlas Shrugged and will get the meaning of some of the commentary centered on characters and companies in that book. If it's not for you, move on. Bye. See ya. Don't try to impress me with your "superfunder" label, whatever the heck that is. I don't know. I came on this site yesterday for the first time at the prompting of my friends. If it doesn't get funded, I won't lose any sleep over it. The world will still turn. And you'll still insist there's a such thing as Climate Change even though the glaciers are growing in Glacier National Park, there's no longer a hole in the Ozone layer or Acid Rain, and only 4 out of 10,000 molecules in the air are made out of Carbon Dioxide, which was 18x times greater during the Cambrian Period, and more than 10x present levels for over 1 billion years of the Earth's history. But if you do have a brain, have funny friends who are sick of the 2-party bickering, and can't believe the media propaganda machine has twisted the 1st Amendment into the "right to lie"in order to appease their advertising puppet masters, then yeah, this game would be a big hit in your house. So it is for the people to decide. Time will tell. And take a hammer and go to the beach if you disagree, because you can go pound sand. When you're extremely not mad about your Kickstarter making less than ten bucks on its first day.

I'm sure everyone will be surprised that Mr Trice turns out to have a rich and extensive history of sockpuppets and self-promotion on wikipedia. And that he'll undoubtedly be delighted if anyone asked him why he doesn't have a wikipedia page.quote:At some point in time Wikipedia will just look foolish if they are the only one that doesn't have a Gothic Chess article. Unsurprisingly the same self-aggrandizing language is all over his 'wiki war' or whatever it is they call it when someone goes on for years until actually being blocked there.

I mean kickstarter won’t care because they get their cut, but you only pay 16 grand for a board game if you’re doing crimes.

ding ding ding it's libel slander timequote:I showed this to an attorney today. He asked me to take a screen shot. He also agreed to represent me since this is NOT a platform, it is a PUBLISHER, meaning you can be sued for libel. Watch what happens next. EDIT: Looks like he's reporting negative comments as Kai Tave has had 3 of theirs removed. Now i'm not suggesting to sound the horn of goondor but, you know, if anyone wanted to ask perfectly reasonable questions about why he isn;t on wikipedia given how famous he claims to be, or checking his maths or anything...

The best part is when someone points out that he is underestimating how much money he'll need and he tells the story of how he once lost $800,000 trying to arrange a stunt match with Bobby Fischer so he isn't worried about losing ten greens on KS. What a great flex.

The lesson here is that being good at chess has no actual bearing on any form of intelligence, just how good you are at chess.

Not to get too drawn into it, but Kickstarter is now one of the only ways us small creators can actually pay the bills, as standard releases are pretty dead - possibly because of KS or who knows, but it's how it is. So a Kickstarter boycott is hurting some of my chums in the industry (I don't currently have a KS on so I'm safe for a bit) so I hope they [KS] get their poo poo together ASAP for the sake of us. Most the smaller wargames companies are one or two people, a bad release or two away from going bust. All our stuff is produced in the UK though, and doesn't use non unionized China... Here's one at the moment, sculpting and painting legend Paul Muller, highly recommend. Top guy and I've seen the minis in person and they're really lovely. He sculpted a whole load of the first wave of Malifaux figures so let's get him over a few grand for these! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/midblightminiatures/journey-into-midblight

Yeah, like, if the union doesn’t actively call for a boycott and if Jenna launches Glitch on time, I’m going to be backing Glitch. I care more about one of my favorite rpg writers eating than handing over the small amount of money. If the union does call a boycott, I guess I’ll up my Patreon pledge or something instead? gently caress Patreon too but not, at the moment, in this specific way.
