Not a fan of the Infinity kickstarter not letting you pledge for the small boxes, but I completely understand that it would probably be a huge pain in the rear end.

GrandpaPants posted:Man, spirit Island digital looks like it's not going to hit its stretch goals, and possibly not even the regular goals. That's sort of disappointing. They went to IndieGoGo for all the right reasons and I think they're going to get screwed because of it. Really a bummer. The campaign itself also feels weirdly low energy. Especially given how well they did on their previous two apps. drat.

Unions take a v long time to Do Stuff, and the process can often be obstructed from onlookers for very good reasons. Still stand with them, still demanding KS recognize them. Sidenote: Disposable Heroes slacker-backer thing is ready. We're doing it via Itch (because Itch.iowns) and it's limited to the overflow we anticipate from printing. Maybe if we sell out these we'll knock the printing run up a notch, we'll see, I'm not holding my breath. I know Itch is an unorthodox place to run a late backer/pre-order campaign, but I really love the platform and I wanna see it thrive, and this is basically the best way I can do that as a creator. https://sandypuggames.itch.io/disposable-heroes-preorder-edition

One of my friends from college just launched a kickstarter for his first solo-designed game, Honey Buzz: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/brentdickman/honey-buzz-the-worker-bee-placement-game I unfortunately haven’t played it, so I can’t provide any first hand reviews, but it’s been fun seeing the games progress through his Facebook posts over the last few years. He also got a fantastic artist for the game, Anne Heidsieck, who’s done illustration for Meeple War, Carcassonne Safari, Romny’s Treasure, and a few cards from When I Dream.

And the layout and prepress stuff is being done by one of the guys who worked on Mork Borg, which is looking pretty great. I'm sure Vaesen will have less gratuitous font usage, though.

An old friend is launching a KS for a gothic horror RPG called "The Curse of the House of Rookwood": "You play a cursed family with skeletons in their closets and dark magic in their veins. It's mix of family drama and supernatural adventure, and uses an original rules system based on d6s." Link to KS

not a current kickstarter(but rather started from one of the older ones in like 2011 or 2012 iirc), but Dreamforge Games is halting production of all plastic kits and liquidating the warehouse stock as they shift to a resin model instead. The discounts are fairly insane and you can get the Leviathan mech kits for 25 bucks each, originally $115-125, and additional arm weapons for 5-7 bucks. Pretty much everything is 80-85% off right now, and it's first-come-first-served. The model quality is extremely high, definitely grab a handful. All the regular infantry kits are long gone, but there's still some normal ones left, like the support and heavy weapon team kits. Dreadnought-scale Leviathan Crusaders are 13 bucks, fer crissake. They're all worth picking up to at least tinker with, the kits are pretty drat intricate. https://dreamforge-games.com/collections/all It's a shame to see his business fail and have to return to resin kits, but I do hope he continues making great minis like before.

Probably a good thing to go to resin, though, most of the other custom model shops use it because it's cheaper to do small runs with than hard plastics.

Yeah, but the sharp detailing on the infantry I'm not sure you can capture with resin the same way. We'll see I suppose. Also, he mentioned that there's less than 10 of the Mortis Leviathans left, so grab one of those now before they're gone if you're interested.

What is with sets of dice with only 1 D6? Are there games that only throw 1 D6 at a time? This is basically the main reason why I'm not pledging because they are, in fact, quite pretty dice. Alternatively, if there is a good site for good, pretty dice, I would like to know. GrandpaPants fucked around with this message at 19:05 on Nov 6, 2019 |

Yeah, it's pretty nuts. Nothing caught my fancy at gencon so I'm picking up a set for myself here to splurge, but i'm not going to pretend it isn't extravagant. Although i think the exclusive set is at $420, ten boxes not twenty. Still too rich for my blood.

Yeah I just realized the bulk discount is, uh, pretty low. Each additional set saving an additional $1 per set doesn't really trigger that urge to add additional sets.

"Those dice aren't for rolling, Gary! Put them back in their display case where they belong!" - Me if I backed this. I have turned losing game pieces into an art form but fair play to people who want only the shiniest dice in the land.

Gotta say that most of those look like what my table calls Ninja Dice. IE, ones that you can't really read the numbers on without picking them up and looking closely. Low contrast, multiple colors, etc. Very pretty as art pieces but not very practical even discarding their price.

Blame D&D for the standard, I guess? Those dice are cool but for that price I'd at least expect all the numbers to be readable, and a lot of them aren't against the pattern of the die

BTW I am 100% respectful of this dude and those are nice-rear end dice.

I wish you'd posted this in the Steals and Deals thread, I've been wanting that Mortis forever but it's been just outside my reach. And now it's gone forever. Still, got a bunch of 28mm Soviets and a Crusader.
