$20 is fine for a digital product in general, the problem is that a boardgame adaptation that you can't play on mobile and you can't play multiplayer is not a very appealing digital product

(I have no idea if Spirit Island uses hidden information) It's just streaming the same screen, so it would be bad for that. Both Aeons end and spirit island are fully cooperative games so there's no hidden information as far as I know.

homullus posted:does it ... does it hurt to be this wrong? Not at all, let me rephrase. In this case I feel like $20 is to high for me to pay for a digital product that will eventually be abandoned. I have the physical copy of spirit island and consider it to be one of the best purchases I have made gaming wise. I do own Civ and all the expansions on the iPad but that is not a game the ports well to cardboard. Maybe I am not the target audience for the digital version of spirit island.

Ropes4u posted:Not at all, let me rephrase. What do you mean by "eventually be abandoned?" Like I say, if the audience is there at all (and they have been), they port over all the physical content sooner or later. If you mean that sooner or later they'll stop developing it...well, yeah? It'll be done at some point. I guess it's possible that sometime it might need updates just to run and not be supported anymore, but I don't see any reason to confidently expect that in this case.

Oh my god https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/spacebase/steve-hampsons-tabletop-games-kickstarter-report-2019   quote:The report compiles all this years successful Kickstarter projects in the Tabletop Games category. I have added another level of category and subcategory, for example Games Accessories - Dice. The listings are ordered by the number of backers, projects from the same Creator are grouped together.  It is literally just a list of what tabletop kickstarters got funded in 2019.

The next Torg Eternity kickstarter has launched, but instead of using Kickstarter they're doing it directly at GameOnTabletop, which is the site Uliseses Spiel uses for post-KS pledge management. They've also run a bunch of projects directly on there; the main difference so far seems to be that it actually charges you up front so it really is more of a pre-order than anything else.

Cecil is, no joke, one of the coolest and nicest and most creative people I know in tabletop. In a just world The Forest Hymn would have done Root numbers, but at least I'm glad to see him still trucking along with it.

I think every Torg KS I've backed had a near-complete PDF ready to go either right after the campaign ended or maybe even before, so I'd call it a win.

So we've reached a place where people can just say "inspired by SotDL" in their marketing copy. I like that. I missed that Kickstarter, which is too bad, because it's right up my alley. I'll have to hunt it down when it comes out. Hopefully I can track down a hardcover version at not-exorbitant prices.

Haha wow https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/goatdice/goat-dice-changing-the-way-we-roll/comments That kickstarter for the d20s that had the swirly liquid in them was suspended by kickstarter because it turns out the guy running it was convicted last year of racketeering. Not the way I was expecting that project to end.

Stephenls posted:They’ve almost certainly just contracted a factory that normally produces low-to-mid-range jewelry—resin imitation gems, etc—to make some of their normal stuff, but in dice shapes. They’d need new molds but not new production equipment or staff. I’ve never heard of it being done before, partially because that sort of resin isn’t super durable and will probably break if you roll it too forcefully, but wouldn’t be difficult to do. That and the economies of scale for doing it that way as opposed to just ordering from Chessex aren't great. I suppose the KS has Enough Money to live with that though.

I backed it in the first like 10 minutes of launch. What can I say, I like dice? We're even giving custom dice as wedding favors at my wedding next spring. edit: to be fair, most of my dice have a special meaning to me. They are a reminder of a special event or memories of a beloved convention or game or something. My mother also sells dice on ebay so I partially picked these up to see if it would be something worth her carrying (not like there is any chance she is going to get any at this point).

Ropes4u posted:Can you share the details / photo of your custom dice? Sure, though the only thing custom about them is one of the sides. We are getting 2 done. The first is a 16mm D6, this is the final sample:   The 2nd is a 34mm D20. This is the first sample, we need to fix the vector image so it looks more crisp (the sample was also done on a factory reject so the die looks a little wonky). Also the inking will be in red, not the white shown here:
