Adam Vass, author of Necronautilus and Babes in the Wood, is currently crowdfunding his next game on Gamefound after ditching kickstarter. I am not involved in any way, just a fan of his work and supportive of diversifying crowdfunding away from kickstarter. https://gamefound.com/projects/worldchampgameco/cybermetal Fortunately, It is already funded, with 8 days remaining on the campaign. Here is the blurb for anyone interested: "CyberMetal 2012: a tabletop rpg of demons, metalheads, and weirdos surviving and thriving in an isolated city of warped technology in an alternate timeline. Single-session or Campaign play. 2-5 players and a gamemaster. Demon worshiping, drug running, debt cancelling, consciousness uploading, and whatever the hell else you can come up with in a low-fi cyberpunk sandbox. Designed, written, illustrated, and published by Adam Vass of World Champ Game Co."

Antivehicular posted:Got my copy of Mutants in the Now in the mail yesterday, and it looks great! I'm going to try and make a character or two when I have some time in the next few days. I'm wondering how the GOO-P math shakes out (hoping buying Bipedalism and full object manipulation doesn't end up being a huge tax on weird species), but I figure the best way to figure that out is by doing. It isn't, as gnoll pointed out. GOO-P amounts are directly related to their "distance" from humanity. There are some oddities (like a slight tax on things like tentacles, being amphibious, having wings and 4+ legs) that reduce GOO-P as side benefits, but no species should be penalized in that sense. Azubah posted:I do like the secrets of the goop section, that last reason gave me a good chuckle. Uh, wizards are no laughing matter, just because they wear star-festooned gowns and pickle newts doesn't mean you can just think less of them, gosh.

Weirdly I think that'd be more likely to get shut down for having "1/10 chance of special collectible art case!" type gambling stuff in the offers, which I think is against KS policy? Also goddamn, that math: 1420 x 100 = 142,000 420 x 50 = 21,000 169 x 100 = 16,900 369 x 62 = 22878 Add those together and you get $202,788. Subtract that from the current intake total and you get $383,365 unaccounted for dollars. People must really be whacking away at that $10 "I believe in this project" button, because there are no stretch goals or other things to spend money on. theironjef fucked around with this message at 06:21 on Feb 1, 2022 |

I don't honestly think Kickstarter cares unless it's legally regulated gambling, which CCGs are not. They really should be, though... Reported it to see what happens out of morbid curiosity, though, since you put the idea in my brain.

So they've finally unveiled the all-in pledge for Marvel Zombies. The penultimate one that has all of the expansions except Galactus is only $20 more than the one with just the two core boxes and Galactus. I think they might have overvalued Galactus a bit. Galactus.

Is there something about February 1st? There are more tabletop projects in one day today than I usually see in a week. Makes me feel bad for some of them since they’ll get absolutely buried.

Luke Crane leaving KS hosed that up, so KS punted ZineQuest to August (even more awkward since that’s GenCon), and the community created ZineMonth instead to do the same thing without the KS logo.

I could see an advantage to running a 30 day kickstarter on Feb 1st. Since Feb is a 28/29 day month and many people get paid on the 1st/last of the month you would cover two paydays .

Ok December and January kicked my rear end in many ways, but god drat it now it's time. Preview! Goonmade Ducks! https://www.kickstarter.com/project...VIQgEtU1phNOAWQ Now I'm down to getting the final details done. I'd love to hear you rip it apart and see what I can improve. Also question: has anyone experience of running a EU-based KS? I'm not sure how to do with VAT, and all articles I find are written by US or UK campaigns. I understand the basics. I should include VAT for EU customers, but not for non-EU customers. But I find no way how to divide those two groups in kickstarter. Should I just run the KS with all prices including VAT?

This situation is what pledge managers are for. Your other option is to have different pledge levels, one for EU with VAT and one for ROW. Though if you do that I'm sure you'll run into problems with some Europeans backing at the cheaper level and you needing to fix that somehow.

Is it possible to give a VAT refund or something through the pledge manager? Otherwise the only fair option I can figure out is separate pledge levels, including separate add-on costs. But yeah, I don’t look forward to deal with people choosing the wrong pledges in that case. VAT here is 25%, so it’s a pretty big difference. E: read up on backer kit and seems I can just make the priced non-VAT and then add VAT for EU customers in the pledge manager instead. Much easier and fairer.

My understanding is that because Kickstarter is collecting the money, they need to do the due diligence for VAT collecting from customers. That's how it is with other third party payment processors, anyway.

Hello everybody. I originally posted this in the Kickstarter thread in the Games forums, but was told this might be a better place for it. A few friends and me started making board games a few years ago, and we have our first Kickstarter campaign out now. It is for a short card game called Evil: 101 where you play evil masterminds trying to become the biggest bad there is. It mostly revolves around symbol matching and bluffing the player who acts as the agency trying to save the world. You can check it out and try it on tabletopia if you guys want. You'll find a link to it on our campaign page here: Evil: 101 Kickstarter Captain Aardvark fucked around with this message at 17:13 on Feb 2, 2022 |

Apparently a bunch of people did actually cancel their pledges, but there was also a flurry of people taking over dropped pledges. By the time it all shook out, they actually ended up with more pledges than before.

It wasn't just complaining about wokeness, there was a weird pushback against the phrasing of the news post. I forget exactly what it was, but it was like them hiring a consultant to look over sensitive topics was somehow implying that the industry was inherently racist for never dealing with such topics until now? It was some real deliberate misreading of the situation to paint them as "thinking they're better than the average tabletop player."

A note from the Mothership 1e KS (in a backer email I just got) - they're trying out a beta BackerKit program where you can pay for addons early, but only pay for shipping when things are actually ready to ship. Probably a wise thing for everyone involved, prevents charges from getting even bigger so someone isn't left holding the bag on a big shipping price hike. I'm posting this so other people are aware in case it starts coming up for board game kickstarters or something.

Holy poo poo! Hellywood is slowly limping towards the finish line! The original Kickstarter stalled out back in 2017 when the creator Stewart Wieck died. He had two other projects open at the time :Prince Valiant, and Wurm, both of which were finished posthumously and are pretty impressive. That kind of dedication really highlights all those other unfinished RPGs. I wonder what the Far West guy is doing right now? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1861515217/hellywood-a-noir-tabletop-rpg/posts

Also things like Rat People as a trope as Always Evil Mooks/Cannon Fodder is an inherently racist take as it implies all Rat People must be killed as they are incapable of Good. It was a totally understandable point, which people lost their minds about the author dictating how they wanted their fantasy world to operate. Any sane person would have been fine with it, cause who gives a gently caress, even if it was  to get to the point.
