Lasting Tales and Fantasy Series 2 is nowquote:...at an incredible 172 miniatures in Fantasy Series 2 alone. If you're also getting Fantasy Series 1, that's 373 miniatures. I don't know/understand how many more unlockable miniatures they can afford to do and fit it in one box. It's going to be enough figures I could run every creature in Rangers of Shadowfall for every expansion. Simultaneously. Comstar fucked around with this message at 06:26 on Apr 4, 2021 |

Comstar posted:Lasting Tales and Fantasy Series 2 is now Yeah I've pledged both for miniatures and I'm not 100% sure what I'm gonna do with all this plastic. I may sell/trade/hack up some of it because the one thing I've never been a fan of is the bulk of monopose sets of five.

I bought into set 1 to have miniatures to use in gloomhaven, what feels like ages ago. I haven't backed 2 yet although I plan to, but I hope the fulfillment isn't on a 2+ year timeline like 1 has been

Has anyone seen the first round of miniatures? Are we talking old reaper bones, reaper black or wizkids level quality?

They are just now getting into some backers hands, so unboxing videos are cropping up. The ones I've seen have all had poor focus and/or lighting though so they don't really help a lot.

I have Altar Quest and can say those minis are a pretty big step forward from the original printing of Streetmasters. They seem to be improving quite a bit. It’s Bones level stuff, not crazy details like GW, but nice enough.

But is it like old Bones from like the first couple KSes or how they are currently? Not even including stuff like Bones Black, the quality difference has massively improved. Hoping they finish US fulfillment before this KS ends so I can see for myself, but the new set is really tempting (and so is the horror set I skipped). As for the bulk monoposes, I have both my housemate and enough local painter friends who aren't KS addicts who I can trade/give them to.  Edit: Even though fulfillment on series 1 has been late and it feels like forever because of this hell year, the campaign only ended in May 2020.

Ricky Royal is doing the solo variant for John Company (he did the Pax Pamir one as well), and he put out a video about it: https://youtu.be/8c9NJ-DRI2o Good concept how it uses promise tokens to keep some feel of negotiating with the AI

Ohthehugemanatee posted:Has anyone seen the first round of miniatures? Are we talking old reaper bones, reaper black or wizkids level quality? I got mine awhile ago. I can't really compare them to what you listed but they seem good? The stretch goal box is like twice the size of the base, but the boxing and storage is really nice on both I've just left mine untouched since first getting them so I probably won't get the second set even though it looks good as well. I might though, will depend on what it looks like at the end and how expensive Mythic Battles Ragnarok is...

 On Wednesday (7th April 2021) we'll [BAD SQUIDDO GAMES] be launching a Kickstarter to expand this range even more with a whole heap of winter troops as well as more support for the summer/standard uniform. All the sculpts are complete and master cast to make sure they're all excellent, which they are (woooo!) so the Kickstarter is to help people actually see them, and fund the end bit of the getting production moulds made and the first lump of casting. There will be stretch goals too assuming it goes well! We will be doing further Soviet WW2 releases after this too, so don't worry if the unit/troop type you wish for isn't coming in this, the better this goes, the sooner we can get even more reinforcements!  It starts 7th April and is only a week - so to 14th, you can sign up to be notified here! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/badsquiddogames/women-of-ww2-soviet-russia-28mm-miniatures?ref=clipboard-prelaunch 6pm UK time start! It's been a tough 12 months with everything going on in the world and still somehow being a one woman business, so any help and support is even more amazing than usual! Whether it's by backing, or just sharing and cheerleading around! [ALSO CHECK OUT THE EXISTING SOVIET RANGE WE HAVE - https://badsquiddogames.com/shop#!/Soviets/c/36713221]

I'm kind of annoyed with them making a Kickstarter with the second Series before the first one is even in most peoples hands. As far as I'm aware, at the end of March they were still sitting in a warehouse in China.

The photos on the 1st Kickstarter are accurate. I like the female giant and elementals, the dragon and adventures are quite good.

I believe the Sadler brothers are actually a little sick of basic fantasy at this point and want to do different genres (they tried horror and superheroes to a lukewarm response), but it's not where the Kickstarter money is right now so they're kinda locked in.

It was the only Blacklist Games Kickstarter I ended up dropping my pledge for because it just seemed too limiting (who needs 5 of the same butcher sculpt, not that interested in the knockoff Universal Monsters horror theme, wasn't as good a value because they didn't hit a lot of stretch goals, etc...). Of course now they mention that they'll be making adversary stats for the horror minis in Lasting Tales (at least a pdf form of them) so I might look into adding on a set. Yeah I pledged $1 so I could follow along, and they never really sold me on it. I ended up just backing it last week because of the tie in with lasting tales. The horror minis have less general utility to me though, and the dire alliance gameplay seems suuuper swingy based on the dice mechanics.

Of course now they mention that they'll be making adversary stats for the horror minis in Lasting Tales (at least a pdf form of them) so I might look into adding on a set. While I expect fantasy is more generally popular, I for one would be up for horror and supers. I even backed Dire Alliance, although I have misgivings, because sans minis it was $50 and seemed like worth a punt. But I don't think either of those projects were very compelling. Dire Alliance seemed like one of their weaker designs and while having someone completely different handle the PvP side does help allay concerns about split focus, I do still think trying to support both styles of play in one product forces compromises to both. And then it's a minis project too...separately. And Hour of Need...eh, I don't find their homebrew supers universe very exciting and I've already got Sentinels of the Multiverse. So I wasn't seeing the reason I need this other modular deck superheroes game, except this time with a much lower content-box size (and price) ratio and a bunch of extraneous minis.

Cyberpunk might be the moneymaker right now if they want to stretch their legs out of Fantasy. Might drop a $1 pledge on the new KS closer to its end, but still not a good feeling.

Foglet posted:The Blue Planet: Recontact KS is up. quote:$65,000 - Web Apps: We will commission a web app developer to build two Blue Planet: Recontact themed in-game apps for use in play. So on the one hand this stretch goal's particular budget is only $2500 so for that price a couple of simple number trackers seems about right, but on the other hand I have to admit it seems kinda weird to me to say "we should have a digital tools stretch goal" and not have it be something that actually helps you run and/or play the game. Feels like a more ambitious stretch goal with the suitable amount of funding for it would be a better draw, idk.

I’ll back this for the new expansion, which seems like just a few more cards. I’m surprised they’re hoping to get $100,000 funding goal for basically a reprint. No way are they going to get there with $9 for the new stuff from existing owners. So I hope there’s enough demand there!

Hackjack posted:I’ll back this for the new expansion, which seems like just a few more cards. I could be mistaken but the first Gloomhaven reprint KS didn't offer much more than a revised set of stat trackers (as far as I remember) and it funded through the roof. Not every KS is created equal of course, but the first Empyreal KS was $75k and cleared $200k, so a $100k reprint ask doesn't seem hugely out of line to me.

First, Spire is both a brilliant boiled down system (albeit showing its age somewhat compared to Heart), and has some of the most incredible flavor/fluff I’ve ever read in an RPG.

It's a weird game series in that the stuff that has art, the art is great - but also a lot of what you're actually using in play has no art whatsoever. Or, like, the character roles, where there's a gorgeous full color art piece over the whole back...and 100% game info on the front, which is what you actually see 99% of the time.
