what a sad fuckin hill to die on. In happier news, my Kickstarter is entering the final 48 hours and just hit the big stretch goal doubling the deck to 100 cards  Currently have just over 1500 followers on the project too, so hoping for a good surge of conversions as KS sends out the notifications for the end of campaign stuff.https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rollthedicegames/the-dungeon-master-deck

Jedit posted:I'm not being weird. It's the same as any other poo poo bastard kickstarting a premium unique product that they got from Alibaba for pennies on the pound. You are being weird about it. Everything you said after "I'm not being weird" is the part where you're being weird. The intensity of your reaction doesn't match up with what you're angry about. 90s Cringe Rock posted:Anyway I don't get why people love buying new dice so much unless there's something special about them, and that threshold is fairly high for me, which is why I own really really tiny metal dice, spirited away dice, and boring opaque dice with one colour for the body and one for the pips or numbers. I am really glad I am not infected with that particular strain of goblinisation. :\ I just like to collect dice. I'm sure you've at some point in your life collected something, be it stamps, coins, tickets, pictures, pins, etc. I don't know why it's so hard to understand why someone who likes to play games would also like collecting something like dice. There's no need to be so mean and snobby about it.

 Incoming Goon Project! The Kickstarter for Ariadne and Bob begins tomorrow! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1835460386/ariadne-and-bob Ariadne and Bob is a 2+ player roleplaying game about a know-it-all and her trusty sidekick going on adventures and getting in trouble. Ariadne can be condescending at times, but her ego is not entirely undeserved. Bob is Ariadne's long-suffering partner. The Pinky to her Brain, Morty to her Rick, the Sherman to her Peabody, etc. I've hired Vel Mini, Ettin, Austin Ramsay, and Jason Pitre to write some playsets for the game, and I'm talking to a couple more people about maybe joining in. The bulk of the art will be done by Ferrinus. And for fans of Strike!, I am also throwing in The Ogre, a pair of classes by Countblanc, as it's very on-theme for the project. (If you have already seen The Ogre in the old playtest packet, this will be a playtested, revised and improved version of the Ogre.) This game is an absolute blast to play, and it requires no prep at all. My group has been playing it whenever we have an absence from our main game, and it's perfect. We can bust it out on short notice, it works great with low player counts, and it's built for 1-shots so we can get in a complete story in one session. You gotta get this game, and put some money in the pockets of some fellow goons (and a non-goon or two)! Please share it around. Also, check out this awesome cover art by Ferrinus!

So where did they steal the oversized spindown D12s from to randomize their faces? I get that the big D4 cat dice are just stolen from old copies of Khemet that they had lying around, and luckily those already had random faces, so they just need to cast Alter Acrylic to put a kitty on it, pity they won't match the colors of the rest of the dice in the set. I just can't figure out where they're sourcing those 12s... ETA: fuckin A that looks cool, Jimbozig! Let's not let a lovely derail distract from cool creators.

Sherlock already solved the mystery, it’s all just Alibaba repackages  EDIT: I’m pretty jaded but calling a small time creator a “poo poo bastard” and claiming they’re not actually making said thing is kinda sad.

homullus posted:The older your players, the better these are. They're also great for players of all ages new to RPGs, because you can tell them to roll "the red one" rather than "the weighted d12." I color coded all of my dice when I started playing Dungeon Crawl Classics and I haven't gone back.

TitusGroen posted:Got a link? I know some people who'd love a new dice bag. Here's their website: https://www.blackoakworkshop.com Mostly the stock on there is what's leftover from their most recent kickstarter, so don't forget to check out their current kickstarter if you want the cat one(which is included with the higher tier of the cat dice pledge). And because the photos on their shop are rear end, here are a couple shots of one I got from them:   This is the Green Man bag, no longer available. Seems like good embroidery. The outer fabric is a very pleasant...I wanna say microsuede? The inside is some kinda nylon satin, very slippery and shiny. Good size, It could easily hold a half dozen sets of dice, ten if you want to cram them in there. ETA: Here's an ad from their black friday sale that shows more of the bags they had.

Advanced rule to make the game more differenter every time: You and Billy have opposed spins. You can't hurt each other unless you both get the same result! If you get different results, SPIN AGAIN for more excitement and TENSION.

If you didn't back John Company 2nd Edition but you're interested in seeing how it's coming out, they made the official Tabletop Simulator workshop mod public, since the game is near pre-production and pretty well tested at this point: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2474733631 Rules can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Y65pqk6URTeEGXA66Tjshpbas17iRcAD (main rulebook) https://docs.google.com/file/d/1SsNhzxi7wrMfiVZV50dufEEURhUb19ew (Solo AI handbook) I've been playtesting it for months on their Discord, and I think it definitely has some of that Cole Wehrle magic.

Howdy everybody! A couple years ago I successfully funded my game, DEAD IN THE WEST over on Kickstarter. I learnt a lot of things from it, like: lol you cannot make a game in six months you cannot do the art/writing//editing/typesetting all yourself you moron balancing games is hard you're doing all this while you have a fulltime job what an asshhole COVID more like SLOWVID Shipping is how much?!?! printers will gently caress you and you must take it lol seriously thought six months was a good timeframe Anyway! My game was 100% finished last year, with physical copies finally shipping early this year. I am incredibly proud of my game. People seem to really love it, the feedack and reception has been wonderful. If you're curious about the game, the podcast RPG Roulette just finished a long campaign using the alpha version of the rules they got for backing the project. DEAD IN THE WEST is a game of TALL TALES and HIGH STAKES set in the Mythic Old West! It's a game that built around creating and playing with larger-than-life characters, with mechanics that emphasise character personalities and dynamics. The game is also good at keeping you on your toes - you never know when you might need to interrupt your GM with a well-timed "Quickdraw!" The book is massive, and eautifully illustrated by a number of wonderful artists that really brought the project to life.          If you're interested in the game, you can find the PDF and physical copy for sale on Gumroad here! Use the code "goonsgowest" for a holiday discount! My folks have had a really rough time this Christmas, and while there's no way I'm ever ganna make bank with my silly game, I'd still like to shift as many copies as I can to help them out. I've kind of wanted to make a thread in this forum, but am a bit self-conscious about self-promotion. If anyone has any advice on selling these or questions about the game, please let me know!

Being self-conscious about self-promotion is both entirely normal, and can be a hard thing to get past. If it helps, think of it not as you trying to badger someone into a purchase like a rep on a used car lot. This is how it feels, though. Think of it rather as helping folks discover that your work exists (folks who genuinely would be and are interested in what you made, but who would not know about it without help.) The first -- for people like you (and me) is a mental distortion. The second is much closer to reality!
