Looks like a pretty neat game. I backed Tiny Epic Dinosaurs because hello tiny Jurassic Park. I watched the solo play through of Pirates and it didn't quite wow me, even though all the components and game look cool. I'll have to watch that one.

For anyone worried or wondering, I just posted an update on the Heists KS. Short version is everything is still moving, but a combination of COVID, personal issues, and the fact that our art team vanished early on in the project and we had to replace everyone last minute, we're behind on map art. It sucks, but the maps are still getting done, and the art squad we have now kicks rear end and is doing everything they can, and we have the layout working so everything is ready for those final pieces. I got the team together today to come up with a revised timeline and I'm hoping I can let everyone know some good news soon. We are really close to wrapping up, which only makes this more frustrating tbqh

That just makes me really sad that I didnt get a copy of Dinosaur Island. So now I'm on the hunt for a full KS pimped out version with expansion. These FB sales and BGG sales are so goddamn expensive though.

Has anyone by chance heard from outside Kickstarter updates when we might expect the second POD volume for golden sky stories? I seem to recall that project being goon adjacent? I assume it got delayed due to covid times...but I'm just curious where we're at on that one

I backed a game today, Lone Wolf Fists, which seems to be a pretty cool little post apocalyptic wuxia RPG, using a lot of LotW's ideas with a lot more... straightforwardness and less oblique fluffiness making it hard to pierce. It looks like it's trying to be Fist of the North Star with a bit of the modern Cultivation genre. They also have a Playtest Edition openly available if you'd like an in depth look at it. I'm not involved with this game, I just found it when discussing Cultivation novels in a discord, and I thought it was both a kinda unique setting and not getting much attention at all.

Last two days on Skull Diggers and $500 left to go! Please consider backing it if you haven't yet. https://twitter.com/Veliministriari/status/1264043012625182721 Next rules draft contains the highly anticipated rules on recruiting monsters into your village. Now you too can bring home nightmare monsters that will probably eat everyone you know, but if they don't, they can teach you things. Wonderful things. Terrible things. Like terraforming. Or immortality. Or how to abolish money and become a post scarcity society. Or necromancy. Terrible, terrible things.

I couldn't afford to go all in on the KS so it was either 'Turtles but villains I don't know' or vice versa. The real sting was they had an Usagi Yojimbo expanshion.

For those goons who are 3D printer inclined here's a cheeky entirely 3D printed miniatures game, Bloodfields. Frankly I couldn't give a fiddler's pluck about the ruleset I love love the minis for this as per Kickstarter protocol. For those interested they also have a Patreon with equally great minis.

Still, I wonder why the decided to split the characters that way in the first place. Because they wanted to sell two boxes of stuff and not one. If one box had the turtles and Shredder, the other box wouldn't sell. At least that's the safe assumption. In practice, it kind of works, because there's starter campaign stuff in both boxes, but in the "second box"(the Shredder one), there's a bunch of combined campaign stuff that you'd need both boxes for anyway. One of the villains of the second box is a temporarily mind-controlled Leo, and there's a few campaign setups for the other turtles trying to punch him back to regular.

Yeah, I've only had the printer a couple of months (photon s) so just about have it nailed down. The mantis is my second print and the dragonborn one of the most recent.

CODChimera posted:Have you printed their stuff before? I'm pretty interested but wondering how they will actually look in real life... Their minis are beautiful, but one annoyance for me is they are almost always multipart, even the small pieces that don't have customization options. Some people love it, but I dislike it as I either have to print the pieces and hope my settings were good enough or the tolerances loose enough that they fit together, or I have to precombine them in meshmixer. I much prefer something like Duncan "Shadow" Louca's patreon/kickstarters where, at least with the non-giant stuff, I can often just plonk down a mini, generate supports and start the print (although he's been starting to do the multipart stuff for weapon options lately...). Titan Forge has been doing pre-supported minis that are all one piece recently, though, so that's a nice time saver if you can get your printer tuned well enough to print them.

I can't tell if it's better to just pledge for the game or just pledge for the upgrade if I already have Kemet + Ta Seti. Like I know I should just get the upgrade, but a double layered board... It also looks like they're doing away entirely with the whole Ta Seti part, which I think is kinda funny.

Infinitum posted:How is Kemet by the way? Good game with a lot of tough decisions, but also needs a certain type of player (needs aggression, the ability to not be dumb and feed people points). Maybe the closest would be something like Chaos in the Old World or Blood Rage, a DOAM with asymmetric powers. Note though that the asymmetry isn't because of any inherent difference in the gods (they're all the same), but from a pool of powers that shrink over the course of the game.

It's incredibly front loaded, which is to say it has a giant set of tiles available to everyone at the start. As a new player without a player aid in a 5p game, I absolutely hated it and never want to play it again.

silvergoose posted:It's incredibly front loaded, which is to say it has a giant set of tiles available to everyone at the start. Yeah, my experience was not good for this reason - unless you're playing it reasonably frequently, with the same group of people, it's not very smooth. The gameplay and mechanics all seem really good, but compared to games like Cthulhu Wars or Chaos in the Old World that limit your options and give you strategic direction through the design of the factions, I think it's a lot less accessible for newer players.

Kemet is really good for requiring conflict, yet simultaneously making that conflict feel impersonal. e: Like, just to clarify that's in a good way. Conflict and feeding the ceaseless meat grinder of combat is required and incentivized such that it's hard to feel "picked on" when someone targets you for combat.

Like I know I should just get the upgrade, but a double layered board... Correct; they've included everything from Ta-Seti except the Path to Ta-Seti. Which is what I do when I play already. I'm dubious about the non-varying board, though, and doubly dubious about the implied fifth colour of tiles. As people have pointed out, even the base game without the black pyramid is hugely frontloaded. They're running a serious danger of overloading it completely.

Jedit posted:Correct; they've included everything from Ta-Seti except the Path to Ta-Seti. Which is what I do when I play already. I missed the fifth color bit, but I did read that they would vary the number of tiles per player, so maybe not all tiles are in the game, which seems like a reasonable way to both add some variance and to limit information. Edit: Just saw it in their updates quote:The first surprise of Kemet: Blood and Sand is coming on Tuesday June 2nd. What do you think this green pyramid means? We are really curious to know your thoughts about this. Of course, we won’t be able to give you the right answer before Tuesday GrandpaPants fucked around with this message at 00:46 on May 28, 2020 |

My group loves Nemesis and plays it more than anything other than our Gloomhaven campaign run and maybe Champions of Midgard. There's coop for when we're in a team up mood, and slightly competitive for when we want to dick each other over. We usually lose and most of us die, but its still pretty engaging, and it seems to scale fairly well from 2 to 4 players. The guy who owns the box jumped on this kickstarter so he could also pick up the medic and carnomorphs. We're really looking forward to the new stuff. In the meantime with all that's going on, we're playing on steam tabletop, but its an older version that has beta test/kickstarter rules that have since been updated for the printed board game. Balancing stuff like the android being fully immune to corruption in the digital version, but taking 1 damage instead in the printed version, and some of the cards missing the art. edit: My favorite solo win, I was the engineer and my goal was to see player 2 dead. That player bad lucked into spawning the queen on himself on turn 2. I tried following the others for safety but one slammed a door behind him to keep me out since he was worried about extra noise at the end of the turn. I went the other direction and player 3 had the opportunity to open an airlock and space me. I would have been screwed but I tried not to show it and he did something else instead. I found out later his goal was to see me dead, but he assumed I had my demolition and would be able to escape the death trap and come after him (I didn't have it). After that I found the escape pod control room and the escape pods it controlled right next to it (very rare since placement is random), and zipped out to safety after the queen finished off my target. The other two had a comedy of errors spawning more and more aliens on themselves as they fled from room to room. My group does love the Alien movies, obsessively, so that adds to our enjoyment. bagrada fucked around with this message at 20:32 on May 28, 2020 |

SU&SD sort of really liked it, but it can suffer from being dicked over completely by other players. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKbEBrWjWzY That said, it’s a very pricey game (£95 for the base Lockdown game is way too much), and all the other bits have way too much Stuff.
