Alien Rope Burn posted:Did they ever put out the 13th Age crossover PDF? To backers, yes. It came out a while ago and is pretty cool. It's written by Gareth Ryder-Hanrahan and includes the Yellow King as a slowly returning force. Characters can have icon dice with him, but run the risk of spreading the Carcosan infection. The other Icons can become fully corrupted over time this way. It's a good read. I am not sure if it's otherwise available yet.

Serf posted:Dortoka: City on the Sea of Glass just sent out the final proofs to backers and I really like it. 54 pages of mostly generators for their billion-year old abandoned city Dortoka. There are lots of nicely-formatted tables with sub-tables if you need them. There are also pretty neat NPC, job, faction name and title generators. One of the raddest things is their method for creating and drawing city streets and wards, and pointcrawl implementation for sandbox gaming. This sounds pretty handy for a lot of games. Hopefully I remember it exists when it goes up for sale on Drivethru

2 days left on the Impulse Drive kickstarter, and were very close to unlocking more Wesome art fromClaudia Cangini! I also had the opportunity to run Impulse Drive for some folks from the Gauntlet rpg community during GauntletCon and it was a lot of fun! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1y2C_SmGlRA madadric posted:Impulse Drive, my PBTA space opera RPG about misfits and spaceships is coming in to its last week for funding. It's unlocked two extra ship playbooks and codes for cards to use as play aids for backers at the $20 and higher levels, and is heading towards stretch goals for extra art in the book.

The actual goal is $1. I didn't know that KS allowed you to pretty much do the indiegogo "flexible" funding goal.

That's against the Kickstarter terms, even though it's physically possible. If you report the project someone from KS is meant to look at it, in theory.  In other news, the Spire sourcebook KS announced a new set of stretch goals, including: quote:£45,000 - Adopt a goat. Goats are becoming a strangely important part of Spire. We’re going to adopt one and gift it to someone who needs a goat. (We’ll get you all to help us name it, if possible.) In addition, once everything’s done and dusted with the Kickstarter, the three of us are going to go to deepest darkest Kent and hang out with some other beautiful goats, take a bunch of pictures, and recuperate a bit. I'm extremely excited for goats, but also, the Magister's Guide sounds like what the game really needs (a set of rules for effecting long-term, systemic changes to Spire society).

Wow, Invisible Sun is on kickstarter again? That's some Monte Cook brand ballsiness right there. I always kind of wondered how much of a game actually lay at the core of all that bloat.

Ah, the good old gimmick that's worked for years in the comic industry. "We sold out!" "But you printed to order, didn't you?" "Exactly!" I still don't feel any reason to back Monte Cook's Monkees when Jenna Moran's Beatles still exists, mind.

If you missed the Alhambra Designer's Edition Mega Box campaign, Queen Games has brought it back for another 2 weeks of pledges. Specifically, this second campaign is funding 2-3 more expansion modules, but it also functions as a late-pledge for the original project. There's a "I backed the last campaign, please give me the new stuff and free shipping" tier https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1082720051/new-expansions-for-the-alhambra-designers-edition

The stretch goal for Americana's Super Americana Magic Force Go was lowered, but it means the team is taking a pay cut. This is despite a hero with a charismatic pompadour and a skeleton with a letterman jacket.Alien Rope Burn posted:I still don't feel any reason to back Monte Cook's Monkees when Jenna Moran's Beatles still exists, mind.

The Kickstarter for Kamigakari: God Hunters just launched. It's an extremely anime game about people with supernatural powers fighting to stop monsters from destroying the world. Yours truly and Noelle Siddall are handling the translation, and a bunch of other folks are helping out with editing, layout, and so on.

I'm super interested in what kind of tabletop RPGs are popular in Japan, so backed! Alien Rope Burn posted:More Chuubo's, as far as I'm aware. I backed that and I think I own it as a result, but took a long break from RPGs starting shortly before it came out. I should check in on that seeing as I think I own it. Were there any followups or supplements for it?

Geek and Sundry did a write up about the Americana campaign and I'm just kinda shook, it's the biggest publication I've ever been mentioned in. Pretty surreal! https://geekandsundry.com/bring-a-fantasy-1950s-to-life-with-the-americana-rpg/ We also lowered the goal for Americana Magic Force Go to $9000, we figured $10,000 is kind of a long shot right now, and we had a big influx of people from the Tokusatsu community we don't want to disappoint. Had to tweak some minor stuff to make it work on that budget but it'll still be a pretty swanky PDF when it comes.

We've been looking to get someone to do some kind of actual play of it, but it hasn't come together yet. (If anyone is interested feel free to get in touch!) In the meantime, you can track down the (rough) fan translation that Noelle did that set this whole thing off in the first place.

So I stumbled upon a kickstarter for a game called Tidal Blades - Heroes of the Reef - Part 1 https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/druidcitygames/tidal-blades-heroes-of-the-reef It's a worker placement game where you pick 1 of 4 characters and try to collect dice of higher and higher powers in order to rise up the victory point tracker but there are also monster fights that everyone is encouraged to work together to fight against with those who participate getting a bonus and you get to customize your character to some degree as the game goes along and the game also has some asymmetrical gameplay I guess because I think each playable character has access to different abilities. There are a bunch of other things going on but here is a vid showing off gameplay and it explains stuff though be warned because it is a long vid and I don't expect you to watch all of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNUSeND9y7E I really dig the art though.      I can't say I recognize the devs though. Anyone here familiar with them? https://www.kickstarter.com/profile/druidcitygames/created They've had other successful kickstarted games, dunno if any of them were good or if they delivered on them. The games in question are Barnyard Roundup, The Grimm Forest, Guardian's Call, and Sorcerer City Also, what the gently caress Tom  That doesn't even mean anything!!! lmao

As I mentioned a bit upthread, March of the Ants is a contender for one of my favorite 4x games, so they have at least one great game under their belt, which is more than many other KS's. They're also pretty safe as far as delivering product is concerned.
