They probably shipped the most common basic pledges first in descending order of popularity, then the individual addons as lowest priority. And then it's not uncommon for fulfillment to prioritize the pledges that are one ready to go package or at least an identical set of pieces over things with extra addons that need to be individually packed and rechecked to make sure everything's there.

Is your shelf not already on the brink of collapse from the ludicrous volume of plastic minis on it? Do you want a physical version of video games you already own because you feel societal collapse is imminent? Gearbox and Monster Fight Club are here to help. The Borderlands boardgame is now on KS.

I will never understand why a large number of mini-heavy boardgame kickstarters don't have detailed shots of the minis. I'm their target market (I assume, since that's the only type of games I back) but I always assume if there are no detailed shots of the minis then they are hiding something.

I know Jackhole Wizard Luke Crane ain't exactly a fan-favorite around here anymore, but, unless I missed it, I'm still a bit surprised nobody posted about the Torchbearer 2E physical stuff showing up a bit ago. I got the GM kit and it's one of the nicest RPG products I own. Just gorgeous production values. Gilt edges, embossed covers, iridescent symbols on wooden dice. Not to mention the coins. Basically, less Luke, more Thor going forward works for me if this is what we get.

5-Headed Snake God posted:Anyone have a take on this? It seems neat but I'm not sure it justifies the cost. I just don’t know what it does differently or better than another game that would justify me playing it over something else. There’s a lot of high quality games in the campaign-driven rpg space. All Gloomhavens, Arkham LCG, KDM, Tainted Grail, Etherfields, Middara… while each of those games have differing amount of story versus combat, they do have strong themes and narratives. Heroes of the Shire looks like the Vindication of the genre. Potentially really streamlined and focused game with little to no narrative or theme. I would imagine it does about as well as Vindication for similar reasons. So it will probably be a success but not enough to continue adding to it or doing broad releases outside.

It's the usual Year Zero system, with a bit of a twist as to how monsters are handled.

Honestly, I love Vaesen, I think it's the best of Free League's games. Very simple, but intuitive, and the base building mechanic makes sense in the setting. Characters will mostly be trying to find out what the monster is and what it's weakness is, because most of the Vaesen come back after being killed by traditional means. Horror and damage have consequences, but aren't immediately lethal unless you roll bad multiple times, but the stakes always feel high.

Terrible for small projects with no built in audience. KS audience is massive, 83% of my backers were from on-site discovery. This just sucks all around. Hopefully everyone makes enough noise to shut this down.

Yeah, Kickstarter's massive internal marketing engine is pretty much responsible for all my crowdfunding success. Nothing else matches it. But gently caress crypto.

There's a link on the kickstarter homepage where you can email them with your thoughts, if you have a mind to do that. It won't matter but it is very funny. Guess I'm about to save a lot of money.

It sounds like it's mostly a move to cut out the credit card companies and shove processing and security off onto consumers. Which I guess is how we get most bullshit technology that makes life worse for everyone except (insert monopolist/near-monopolist here).

Is there *any* credence to be given to their partnership with Celo, who claims to be carbon-neutral in their blockchaining? Part of me wants to storm away from Kickstarter, but part of me is like... am I really doing any better by supporting, say, Gamefound who, while not blockchained, probably put together the biggest unnecessary plastic endeavors in all of gaming? I mean, I'm not exactly taking an environmental stand just by saying Blockchain Bad! (I'm not bad-faithing this inquiry - I seriously don't know how to feel about this.)

My understanding is that celo achieves it's carbon neutral/negative by buying carbon credits and donating to various causes and stuff, same way most companies pretend to be. E: that said blockchains on their own don't cause environmental catastrophy, it's when paired with a mining or minting process that you get 300,000,000 RTX 3080s melting the ice caps. It's not unlikely that they will do a KickstarterCoin or some other hairbrained bullshit, but I'm gonna wait and see before I swear off the platform. Double edit: looks like celos tech is proof-of-stake, which is doesn't require the whole GPU mining nonsense. Blockchain Bad for a lot of reasons but in this instance it's doing about as much damage to the climate as any other payment processing system. Probably. Depending on how horseshit kickstarter wants to be. Nemesis Of Moles fucked around with this message at 04:23 on Dec 9, 2021 |

time your campaigns for the dip! buy high sell low! honestly as a creator the two big things with this is if they allow people to back with crypto then that's gonna be a loving nightmare, and the other half of the article talks about how Kickstarter wants you to basically run your own instance of Kickstarter, which I have to assume they'd want a cut for. that'd let them cut out on the already pretty limited services they do provide, while extending their monopoly on the crowdfunding scene, and still getting their 10%. I wonder if the union is gonna say anything

xposting here too because I hate it: What possible benefit could it even have? The blockchain serves no purpose and solves no problem here (or anywhere). It's just as dumb as Ubisoft adding NFTs for cosmetic items in their games. They literally already have ways to buy cosmetics and they're already tied to your game accounts and crap.

I think mostly its "saying blockchain makes our investors cum" honestly, it's a huge fad in tech rn. Investors demand constant growth and "innovations", it's not good enough to be profitable, you have to say you're gonna do something new that will make you 30% more profitable than last year, even if that's not true. half of the tech industry is either in on the grift and forcing this poo poo so their personal holdings go up, or are actively being grifted into pushing this stuff for investors or other controlling agents so you're probably gonna see a lot of this nonsense before it pops.
