DLC Inc posted:what was wrong with the first edition of the game a few years back? from the point of view of a gm it was non-functional. there were basically no guidelines on how to build anything when it came out. you could play it, and there were pre-written adventures, but designing your own stuff required you to just guess and make up the numbers yourself the system is also very punishing and hews to classic osr design where you're supposed to touch the dice as little as possible. success chances are hilariously low. basically its the worst of playing mother-may-i with the gm so they don't make you roll and likely fail, which will in turn likely send you and your team into a doom spiral.

Next, and what I'm sure you're all most excited about: we've finally put together a Warden's Operations Manual. This little toybox can take you from newbie Warden to veteran in 60 pages. With the WOM in your arsenal, you'll be able to handle common problems like: * How do I prep for a session? How do I know when I'm done prepping? * How do I run a horror game? How do I maintain tension? * What about campaigns? How do I even begin to structure and run one? Each of these sections takes a nuts-and-bolts, easy to master, step-by-step approach to teaching new Wardens how to run Mothership®. Confession time: I am not a great gamemaster. So all of the tips in this book have been hard won over many years of frustration, wondering why my campaigns weren't working, or were always stalling out. This book is the product of those hard games! also there's a monster manual

Yeah since its initial release Mothership has basically just been a player's handbook and adventure modules. Any third-party stuff that people have created for it has basically been created whole-cloth.

I was pumped for the Skyrim campaign but wtf is up with those miniatures? If I'm forking over $300+ I expect industry-standard mini quality at the very least. Hard pass just on the minis alone.

The $100 premium version mothership kind of sucks if you've already got those supplements. It's a weird choice.

90s Cringe Rock posted:it looks like there are some mechanical revisions to the modules for the new rules, with a pamphlet conversion guide if you don't want to rebuy them (with dev commentary?) which I think will be free in pdf? I didn't see it in the wall of text, but let's say I was *willing* to plunk down the extra cash for the deluxe set and rebuy those modules just a year or so after receiving them... are they revised to incorporate the 1e rules? It's just so weird how little they address prior customers!

Two months between updates isn't that unreasonable right now, and as far as snarkiness, maybe I need to read farther back in the comments, but I'm really not seeing that anywhere.

Why the gently caress are all the minis red by default like loving risk pieces? You can’t see any of the detail in the picture so they just look like the shittiest possible minis.

They sure did a good job of that in their Fallout RPG because I'm enjoying playing it but it's overcomplicated and actually kind of sucks to the point where I wouldn't run it but playing is just fine.

Hard pass just on the minis alone. I just read all the addon descriptions, this isn't a pack of upgraded miniatures, this is to upgrade the base game and replace the monster tokens with miniatures. So, even if you pledge for the "All Gameplay" tier, you'd have to add on this miniature upgrade box to have more than just the player characters be mini's. You don't even get a Dragon mini in the base game, in SKYRIM. Desfore fucked around with this message at 00:34 on Nov 3, 2021 |

You don't even get a Dragon mini in the base game, in SKYRIM. See, that sounds a lot better to me. I was like "wait, I thought there were only a few minis in the box, now you're telling me that you get crappy ones and have to pay to "upgrade" them?" Selling the minis in a separate box should be the default, if you ask me. But yes, they do look bad in this case.

I’ve played it a few times- it’s silly fun smashing kaiju into buildings. Is it worth the expensive buy in with the sets and miniatures out now? Probably not. Is it worth it for the price of all the minis and base game stuff in the Kickstarter? Yep definitely The only thing I’m not sure of is the quality of the miniatures in the Kickstarter- they can’t be the same quality as the current ones at that price. If they were lovely board game plastic minis I wouldn’t be happy, but I’m a tabletop miniature player so I may be biased.

I keep looking at the Mothership Kickstarter and I'm amazed there's not a "deluxe digital" option. As of right now if you want to get the modules the only option is physical-only (plus pdf) which... why?

A lot of stuff that was missing looks like they just didn't think people would want it. Might be worth asking them to add one if you want?

I went in for the deluxe but dropping to either $1 or digital. There's not enough to justify double-dipping on the supplements I already have, and I'm not paying the $40 fomo tax for a slightly-better looking screen.
