I’m thinking of starting to collect Mork Borg stuff since I’ve always seen a bunch of zine Kickstarters. Question, though: aside from the core book and the official Cult Feretory zine, is there any way to buy more physical stuff or did I miss out since I never backed all the other independent Kickstarters?

I'm in the same boat as you in regards to collecting Mork Borg stuff. From what I can tell yeah we're just poo poo out of luck until the next supplemental zine gets printed. Presumably that'll happen after the Kickstarter backers get theirs.

You can find some of the indie zines up for sale at small retailers like Exalted Funeral but the stock tends to be pretty low.

Tsilkani posted:Diaz-Truman apologized for his original post, which (understandably) isn't enough for some people, but some people were willing to see if he'd do better in the future. It was an absolute dogshit of an apology, and to my knowledge he's never apologized for the way he behaved like we were the real bigots for boycotting his company while he was trying to publish a ttrpg about telenovelas. He said he was going to "continue to reflect" on how he can "make amends". I'd love to see him actually do that. In case anyone's curious, here's what I look for in an apology for public misbehavior like this.

I almost ended up rooming with Bez at Spiel a few years ago, but then I found my booked room had one month notice for cancellation with refund and not one week as I'd believed. Nice individual.

re: Mork Borg Zines, I recommend Exalted Funeral, but several are PoD on DriveThru (I can go look if you like) and I, personally, have copies of my EVERY GOD WILL FALL supplement left that I'd be willing to sell off.

Briar & Bramble launched today, if you fancy being the Animals of Farthing Wood.  The game itself can be had for free from the creator's itch page; this is to fund art and a print run.

Hostile V posted:Is Mothership out of alpha yet? No, but the "alpha" is essentially a first edition. E: it's very bare-bones but functional. There's no monster library, and some things are just undeveloped (initiative order comes to mind) so probably hold out for the box anyway. moths fucked around with this message at 14:56 on Sep 2, 2021 |

EverettLO posted:Pinnacle seems to be trying something new. Interesting. They did $43K for a genre-focused Savage Worlds supplement. Here're all their Kickstarters for comparison. Their core books and Rifts Savage Worlds books do six figures reliably, but I don't know if those are the best comparison point. Weird War I did $65K, and that seems like about a similarly sized niche? I don't think avoiding the Kickstarter fees were worth it there, but maybe they can build awareness over time.

You can either upgrade to a full pledge near the end of the campaign, or cancel. Sorry to hear you missed out, I'm sure late pledge will 100% be a thing for a project this huge.

https://twitter.com/AlienRopeBurn/status/1433519709195051008 Yep, pre-orders for the Mutants in the Now Kickstarter are up now, so check it out if you missed it! The retro-modern mutant-animal role-playing game is in the final stages of playtesting, layout, and editing, so I'm looking at a November release. And it's a lot bigger than the original pitch at Kickstarter - over twice as big! I got a lot of inquires for folks were looking to get in on the KS but were too late, so spreading the word is always appreciated. Pre-orders get access to the playtest in the meantime. I also have a new webpage at j-k.games you can point people to for a broader look at my projects, and I have numerous public updates on Kickstarter if you're curious about its progress. It's gonna be a real thing, and I'm excited.

Can confirm that Mutants in the Now is both rad and reasonably-priced, and that you should definitely buy a copy if you didn't already back it.

Gonna drop a bunch of links to games I think are kinda neat again. Picaresque Roman: A Requiem for Rogues. 4 days to go! "A narrative-driven authentic anime roleplaying game from Japan about violence, betrayal, and money, inspired by Yakuza and Persona." The creator for this is releasing the fifth version, which is the current version according to the kickstarter, and says that they're working with the original design team and illustrators to bring it to western audiences. These enhancements include: -new art commisioned just for the english release including new setting, character, and replay art -fresh layouts with all new graphic design and aesthetic elements -a hardcover format instead of a softcover binding -more lore -longer book length. I dunno give it a look if you enjoy games about intrigue, subterfuge, and backstabbing other players in your games. Don't Tell Mom and Dad 6 days to go! "A TTRPG where players map their town and create a gang of kids to save it from supernatural foes, because if they don't, no one will!" I'm super pumped for this one as it's billing itself as a sorta love letter to 80s pulp horror/scifi movies while letting you use kid logic to solve everything. The game is also cheap as dirt at $25 dollars for a physical copy or $9 dollars for the pdf. All softcover as well in case you happen to enjoy the magazine style over the more traditional hardcover book style. Historica Arcanum: The City of Crescent. 16 days to go "Sourcebook inspired by near eastern cultures. Professions for 5E characters. Toolbox to forge your alternate history campaigns." Another 5E book. This one caught my eye specifically for the setting. Not really much else to say about it. I just think it's neat. Herbalist's Primer 18 days to go "An illustrated guide to real-world magical plants for magicians, worldbuilders, alchemists, and game masters." Are you that rear end in a top hat at tables who's always asking "hey what do I get when I gather materials?" Do you like old folklore about flowers and whatnot? Maybe you just like cool plant facts. At any rate definitely give this book a look. It brings 360 pages of botanical, ethnobotanical, and folklore material to your tabletop games to use in any system. Hell maybe just give this to someone you know who's super into that kinda stuff as a gift. Here I'll just list the bullet points the kickstarter lays out: -A full-color, hardcover book (6" x9") with 360 pages of botanical, ethnobotanical, folklore, and tabletop roleplaying material. -100 illustrated, detailed descriptions of magically-inclined plants from around the world - from aconite to yew. -Short, sweet, and useful lore chapters on the basics of botany, herb gathering, preparation, alchemy, poisons and antidotes, and more! -Recipes for magical and medicinal concoctions, written in-world and in accordance with occult lore of the ages past (mix aconite with animal fat, then rub it on a broom handle for an excellent flying experience!) -Tools for creating original magical plants, plot hooks, quest ideas, and a botanical Latin primer to give your custom, fantastical plants a semi-proper scientific name. -Convenient tables with magical and medicinal properties of plants, astronomical correspondences, and the language of flowers - all according to the highest authorities int he fields. -An index, a detailed table of contents, references, bibliography---everything you'd expect from a popular-science publication that will make your herbalist cry the tears of joy. ASCET 23 days to go "An exquisite card game about monks searching for enlightenment with minimal aesthetics and roleplaying overtones." It's exactly as the description says. Minimal art style, minimal roleplaying, minimal rules, and minimal everything. Not sure who this is for but it's funded and looks kinda cool. ANKUR - Kingdom of the gods TTRPTG 2E 25 days to go "This project will fund a revised second printing of the tabletop roleplaying game ANKUR - Kingdom of the gods." I never heard of the first edition of this game but it's billing itself as an rpg based off middle eastern mythologies mixed with sci-fi using a d12 system. It's also doing this thing where you're not pledging for an actual book but instead funding for the book itself. After that, and if the campaign is actually funded, you'll get a discount code emailed to you for a Drivethrough RPG print on demand book. I dunno it seems sketchy but what do I know. Figured I'd still include it for anyone interested. Gravemire 25 days to go "A Gilded Age tabletop horror game about mortality, growth, and the Louisiana bayou." Alright I love horror ttrpg's and I kinda really like this game. It's a d12 system that has you filling the roles of outsiders drifting into a horribly cursed town set in 1894 Louisiana. The game is played in two phases. Phase one has you playing beyond the border of the town, working together with your fellow players as you attempt to survive completing a job one of the townsfolk have given you. Phase two, should any player survive their excursions outside the town, sees you resting in town. Town play also allows you to reflect on your experiences outside of town via questions the DM asks each player while learning new skills and/or gathering new tools to help next time. The game is sitting at 43% funding with a funding goal of $16,000 dollars. Bit of a lofty goal but I'm hoping it gets there.

The character creation in Mutants is fantastic because it's just enough crunch to get me inspired with ideas, without being so much that it squashes the imagination.

Hexagonal gaming trays by Wyrmwood is a neat idea, if a bit expensive, but I didn't think it would be a neat enough idea to support two other kickstarters with the same idea simultaneously.
