Fuuuuuuuck. I literally just promised myself "No More Kickstarters. Period." But I still kick myself for not getting in on Gloomhaven.  Welp, backed for $1 to kick that can down the road, at least.

IMO, the single best way to get the game set up for Gloomhaven is "Use Gloomhaven Helper."

Regarding Gloomhaven storage: The meeplerealty.com insert is pretty great. Its kinda on the minimalist side, but honestly, that works for Gloomhaven. I also have their inserts for Anachrony and Orleans and love them too. They tend to be a bit on the pricey side, but they also just work.dwarf74 posted:IMO, the single best way to get the game set up for Gloomhaven is "Use Gloomhaven Helper." So much this. I knew about Gloomhaven helper when I got my copy, but we decided to play the first session without it just to get a feel for how the game was "supposed" to be played. We've used the app for every session since and my god is it a lifesaver. lord_daeloth fucked around with this message at 20:09 on Mar 31, 2020 |

Agrias120 posted:Edit: The single biggest storage upgrade you can do for it is to buy an accordion folder for the map tiles. Really, this is exactly why the Broken Token organizer can't possibly be the best solution, and the reason I didn't go for that level. The second-best storage upgrade is a clear plastic pencil case (the bag kind) for all the stuff for a given character.

So how many of you who never finished Gloomhaven are planning on pledging for Frosthaven? I think I'm going to resist and get Jaws of the Lion instead as the more accessible option to try and ease friends into it when the world stops being insane and hope I'll play the OG version more later, but I'm still tempted just because of 'someday I'll find the perfect situation to play it, really!' fantasies. I guess there's no reason not to just pick it up in retail at that point though, since there will presumably be another way to get the class scenarios in the future if necessary.

We're most of the way through Gloomhaven, so a year out sounds about right to me.

I went ahead and backed even though we're only a few missions into Gloomhaven since 1) it's a year+ out, and 2) I don't want to deal with bad availability/price gouging when it comes time for Frosthaven

Legions of Steel is inexplicably getting a reprint, so if you missed out on getting a Succubot or MkIII Combat Fiend in the 90s, now's your chance.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/stephaniemcalea/the-wild-hunt-for-call-of-cthulhu Still delayed, now enters its 15th month. Mostly it seems their editor is either the saddest human alive with all the problems s*he has, or it´ll take 2 more years... To note, the book was kickstarted in January 2018.

Sandy Petersen has launched the traditional April Fools project. This year it's The Can in Yellow, the official energy drink of the Yellow Sign. It only ships to the US, but all backers can acquire the giant Hastur Rising figure for use with Hyperspace, Cthulhu Wars and Planet Apocalypse. (Hastur is of course the real main attraction, but US backers can pledge to get the Can for an extra $1.) Jedit fucked around with this message at 16:16 on Apr 1, 2020 |

Does Deck of Legends still count?  Otherwise, my longest wait is Project: Dark which is only a little less delayed than Far West, in the scheme of things.

So a couple of my friends are doing this neat geeky LGBTQIA pin series. Really great stuff for conventions, once we're able to hold them again. The Kickstarter was going great until Covid-19 hit, then it dropped off into nothingness, and they've only got a few days left. It sucks, they were at 50% on day one, which is usually a sure sign, but they just launched at the most inauspicious time. So check it? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/basiliskonline/criticallypins/posts/2801122

InternetJunky posted:I had to double-check this wasn't an April Fool's joke. As the narrator of the video is literally saying "but they also solve real world problems" they are showing 10 different dice being thrown. Ok, so to achieve the same thing with this fancy device I would need 10 of them @ ~$50 each? At least you get a good workout lugging your 10 pound dice bag everywhere.
