At this point I would probably pick up a Battle of Indines redux if they homogenized the art style. Or, y'know, just not have art that is as embarrassing or moreso than Sentinels of the Multiverse. I also wouldn't mind the improvements, like having the cards that list the various unique cards a player has so I don't have to ask to splay out the cards before every round.

Good news, an updated 2e is coming out with updated art to match the new stuff.

Edit: Somebody will probably make card for that. You're right, it would have been cool. but so many characters.

Real Edit: Quote isnt edit. And November I believe.

Big bold text, no editing. Definitely a harbinger of the quality to be expected from a KotDT movie/series/whatever, clearly conceived-of, acted by, and made by absolutely nobody with any filmmaking or acting experience whatsoever.

I'll just stick to these.

Did they not realize that this means retailers are most likely to not stock it at all?

From the little bit I've read, they believe that retailers will put their game in premium locations, because they have to.

I'd also like to say that games that come in tubes are usually poo poo. Terrible for storing (where do I put it? It doesn't stack with my hoard), and often everything inside gains a memory and doesn't lay flat anymore. which means actually playing is a pain in the rear end. Though their map doesn't look like it will, the rules definitely will, and any play aids will.

It's for third edition. Which is using a completely new system, which, from the backer preview I have around here somewhere, is loving incomprehensible.

I doubt clarity has improved much.

I have never finished making a character for the edition that I have. Half way through I stand up and say "This is loving retarded." and abandon the project. But I do enjoy reading through the bestiary.

"The really clever bits of Lords of the Eastern Reach were inspired by the classic Groo: the Card Game by Ken Whitman & Sergio Aragonés. "

Has anyone played their inspiration?

Actually I have. Though not in something like 15 years. IIRC, roll some dice, play some cards and hope you don't get hosed.

It's always bothered me a little that Bill Coffin felt obliged to apologize after his fairly scathing breakdown of why Kevin Sembieda is both a lovely person to work for and kind of a lovely person in general, because if anyone in that particular relationship should feel that that've behaved unprofessionally and need to apologize it's Sembieda.

It's unprofessional to call somebody out that publicly and hardcore. "I will never work for Kevin and Palladium games ever again, it's a shitshow." is all that really needed to be said, but he really ripped into everything.
With that said

Roughly ten dollars ($10.00) per "printed" typeset page of text (that's roughly 2 to 2 1/2 single spaced computer pages at 10-11 point size; see, we're even too cheap and lazy to figure out a per word rate). A small bonusmay be paid to truly outstanding works if our budget allows it, and at Palladium Books Inc.'s sole discretion.
This (and the whole page) make me wonder why anybody would ever write for them.

My friends got it as well. "It is quick and fun". Thank god for the first part of that, as I will probably be forced to play it.

It is quick. I dunno if I'd say it's fun. It's telling when my 14 year old niece said "I'm not going to play this, this looks dumb and I have better things to do." knitting

Though everybody enjoyed Spyfall. I would like them to put out a sci-fi and fantasy set.

I like several Sirlin games, but I hate Sirlin's release philosophy. Puzzle Strike: Shadows came out less than 2 years after 2nd edition, but was billed as only being compatible with the newly released ($50) third edition. I think only a dozen or so chips even changed?

This is reasonable for how fighting games operate. It's thematic.

The box insert looks super terrible. His comment about grabbing an actual card box is both a good one, and a shameful one. Though I'm not going to poo poo on him too much for insert design. Looking at my large collection of games, the vast majority have terrible inserts.

The wads of cash are going to be great though. I hope the game will be decent too.

Since then, his fanboys have chimed in defending his poor decision to write entirely in poo poo-head speak. And most of them are also doing it with affected "accents!"

What a goddamn pile of fuckers. Nerds like that are why I don't tell people I play games.

While I'm not sure anybody needs to defend Crane and his wizard speak, I'm almost tempted to back it based on this alone.

The boardgame Shogun uses a tower for resolution. Cubes get stuck in there, when you battle. Take the armies battling, toss them in the tower and pray lots of yours pop out.

I could see it being used for an RPG rule set too. Hmm.
