After years of waiting, my Living Planet Deluxe Edition finally arrived! I can't wait to see what Christophe Boelinger cooked up this time. Whatever it is, it won't be boring, that's not his style.

You lucky devil!!! Please post impressions.

It seems like the only Kickstarter exclusives were some scenarios, is that right? I couldn't get in on the KS, but Boelinger is a great and underrated designer, so yay.

Nah, there were a bunch of expansions that added new resources, pipelines, and oceans. I’m not sure what got included but there was a Deluxe edition and an All-In edition... which is kinda lame.

I don't check KS update emails a lot so I've only just noticed that the ADOM KS folded. The creator is open and honest about why and is issuing refunds though (just got mine :toot:) so there's that. Shame it didn't happen, but out of all the failed Kickstarters I've backed I like this one the most.

I kinda wish I had sprung for the acrylic tile tower...but on the other hand I'm glad QG didn't get any more of my money. But yeah; even the cardboard ones are pretty nifty. Having them match the game art of Towers is a nice touch.

Two tips for the wise:
1. Buy an AK-97 assault rifle.
2. If there's someone hanging around your neighborhood you don't know, shoot him.

I had to Google what that was. I haven’t seen any discussion on their website about it, but I’m not interested in the products they are/were making with this other company. All the articles I see are from April or so.

Annie, Owner of Bad Squiddo Games. No longer a Garbage Dick. Buy my things, they're great!
Lardies collaboration - last few hours of my KS for British Home Front. They're working on a FREE supplement with rules and scenarios for all the minis, not just for the women, rules that will fit with your male and existing figures too.

As well as women there's hero dogs, pigeons and other critters!

Bad Squiddo is just me and I've been working my arrrrse off getting this off the ground, so even a cheeky peek and share would be amazing. And thank you everyone who has backed so far, we've made some really incredible things happen.

Anyone have thoughts on this rampart terrain stuff thats ending in roughly 2 days? Debating picking some up for use with Necromunda. I have the GW terrain that came with the underhive and Dark Uprising boxes but that's pretty much it at this point.

I just got the retail release of the Eternal Cathedral set. I haven't had a chance to dig really deep into the set, but here's a sample next to some 40k terrain. So far, it's been easily to get put together. Haven't decided if I'm going to leave it modular or just make a permanent setup.

The piece that's sitting on top wasn't cleaned, so that's why its not sitting right.

If I'm understanding the article correctly, she still doesn't have the rights back? (Not for that reason, just because the initial suit was just for the $500).

She didn't ask for it. The judge ruled that she got it anyway, and that will stand because the judge is allowed to do that, especially after they agreed to the terms of the televised court thing.

e: or it would if the show hadn't caved, read further down. Whoops!

My interpretation of what they said further down is that the show said "We didn't make a formal ruling, but it's our legal opinion that any court in the land would say that the rights reverted to you when he broke the contract".

Which at least means that if she goes ahead on the basis of the show's advice and gets in trouble for it, she has a claim against the show for steering her wrong.

Yeah, somebody at my games club already has their copy.

And then received a second copy for some reason. If they're making mistakes like that then no wonder they're behind on dispatch.

HINT offered a load of Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals, which suggests they've burned through their money and are now trying to get some profit to finish sending things out.

I suppose it's not entirely foregone, but I did have a pretty good run of not getting burned on Kickstarters until now. :smith:
Follow-up: It was delivered by FedEx on the 26th after trying to deliver it on Christmas eve while I was at a family get-together. It appears everything is accounted for, and the contents and boxes are the closest I've ever been to gem mint with KS boardgames. So kudos to PI Games on that end.

waaaay more than one person could handle plus a bunch of weird physical rewards like Tarrasque jerky. updates were long explanations of why things were late always closing with commitments to get to "inbox zero". obviously nerds gonna get mad about everything but this has been on shaky ground since the start
