At this point, the only thing that'll get me to back for a physical book is a name I'm already familiar with and want to give money to. Otherwise, I'll take the PDF and get it run off at a print shop if I decide I want a hardcopy.

JackMann posted:Y'know, money won't get taken out of your wallet until the Kickstarter ends. And you can cancel your pledge up until about twenty-four hours before the end of the campaign. Just food for thought. You can actually cancel up to the moment the campaign ends. The 24 hour restriction is only if cancelling your pledge would drop a project below its funding goal (i.e. someone makes a $10,000 joke pledge and then wants to pull the rug out from under the project creator at the last minute)

Kai Tave posted:Yeah, I don't know how other people do it but speaking personally I don't tend to pledge to Kickstarters unless I could actually spare the money at that moment, it just seems more sensible to me to ask myself "can I afford this now?" rather than "can I afford this in 30 days from now?" One of those things I can be certain about, the other is a big question mark. Fair enough. I generally look at a project end date and say "when do I get paid relative to this project ending?" and proceed from there.

Leperflesh posted:Guys if you are literally unable to spend money on a thing until you get the next paycheck, you are "living paycheck to paycheck" and maybe should think seriously about an extended stay in the BFC subforum. Please don't spend your rent money on kickstarter. Don't worry, my paychecks are all very consistent now that I'm working full time, and "rent" "food" "utility bills" and "emergency money" are all budgeted long before "steam and Kickstarter funds" are.

Just happened to stumble across this little gem: Unwritten: Adventures in the Ages of Myst and Beyond. A Fate Core-Powered RPG set in the world of the Myst computer games. This is literally everything I ever could ask for from an project like this. Some of the reward tiers are a little pricey, but if you just want a base PDF, its a very reasonable $10. $25 gets you expansion PDFs and beta access to the rules, and $50 gets you a paperback hard-copy of the book.

inklesspen posted:I've backed it, but I find it very weird that for a property based so extensively around magical books, they don't have any mockups of the book hardcopy. I mean this is probably one of the few properties where you could get people to shell out $100 or so to an unproven company for a leatherbound "pre-distressed" edition, or special fountain pens to fill out your character sheet, or whatnot. And they're not going there. Why? My biggest headscratcher is that they called the $25 level "BOOK", but it does not actually come with a book, just a PDF.

I'm not being even remotely sarcastic. Thankfully I have one friend who loves the Myst mythos as much as I do, and another who adores non-combat story-games, so if nothing else I can run with those guys. And I'm sure some goons would be up for a PbP.

That is a gorgeous card back. I still can't decide if I want poker or tarot size cards though! (Just to clarify, the tarot ones are the larger ones, right? My only tarot deck is pocket sized, but I was under the impression that the cards were generally larger.)

Unwritten (That Myst based Fate Core adaptation) just announced their final stretch goal yesterday. If they reach $31,250, all the interior work of the book will be in full color. I really hope it makes it...I'm beyond stoked for a Myst pen-and-paper game and having it be super pretty is a nice bonus.

signalnoise posted:Wouldn't a Myst pen and paper setting be a lot like Planescape? Or did I misunderstand the teleportation stuff in the first game? I'm not overly familiar with the Planescape, but here's a quick-n-dirty Myst primer: The D'ni people mastered the ability to write Descriptive Books that could be used to transport you to different worlds. Some believed that writing the book created the world, but in actuality they linked you a world matching what you wrote down. Due to the infinite nature of the universe, anything you could think of to write down exists somewhere out there; the act of writing makes a bridge to a world, not a world itself.

The Supreme Court posted:Here's my kickstarter: Pirate World! It's an hour in, but has had an awesome response so far! Do you know offhand when Kickstarter handles currency conversion? I ask because your pledge level says that the PDF level is approx $15 and kickstarter is telling me $17. Not a huge deal, I'm pledging either way, but it'd be nice to know how much I'm spending.

Hrm...I question the wisdom of listing prices in dollars on the tier levels then. While the possibility is slight, if something wacky were to happen in world of currency exchange in the next 4 weeks, the prices listed may become completely inaccurate.

If anyone here backed Dungeon Roll (or bought it after the fact), there's a Kickstarter for a Winter Promo Pack of heroes and treasures. Honestly, this really feels like "Using Kickstarter as a store" but I'm not gonna complain about being able to 1) chuck more money at the guy behind the game and 2) get cheap gaming swag.

Kickstarter is notoriously spotty on enforcing their rules and regulations anyway. So there's really no way of telling, short of reporting the project and waiting for a response back from their support team, if the coupons are "allowed" or not.

bdurso posted:Is it just me or has Minion seemed really unprofessional throughout the kickstarter and the wait? I continually see misspellings in the posts made by the main guy, and he keeps talking about not making enough money. When people are wondering what is up with their stuff, he seems flippant and accusatory. I don't think I will back or order anything from them again. They have lost me as a customer unless their coins are worth the wait. You're not the only one. Some guy in their comments was missing the 3 coin from his collector set, and Minion commented "Oh, it'd be too expensive for us to ship it out to you...but we can toss it in if you order something else from our webstore!" That's skeevy as gently caress.

So Minion Games is full of even more vitriol than I could have imagined...I posted a public comment stating my displeasure with how fulfillment had been handled and the like, and they responded with the following:Minion Games posted:Jason, there are no 100,000 to send. We lost money on your order twice and offered a refund and you still find the need to come here and bitch and even complain about spelling. There are very few collectors sets and so we cannot send you more as they are going to other orders.

The last update to the project says "Pretty much everything has been shipped, but we're waiting on tracking numbers and stuff. Don't e-mail us asking about them. Having backers nagging us just slows things down." They literally told backers "Stop nagging us" about shipments that should have gone out months ago.

From the looks of it, if I'm reading it correctly, after the campaign is over you have to then turn around and make another purchase for actually printing and shipping costs from OneBookShelf.

Has there been any word on retail availability of the Blue Dungeon Tiles post-Kickstarter? I'm in for a basic set, and I really would like more add-on tiles, but I don't want to pay for them until I know I'll be getting a decent amount of use out of them.

I honestly think the smart thing to do would be to stick with BASIC tier, get the one-of-each addon tile, and then buy post-Kickstarter for everything else. EDIT: plus adding $5 to get the nifty PDF thing for print-and-play ability.

Sorry for the double post, but its a completely different issue: Minion Games finally got around to sending out the Space Coins that they shorted me the first time around, but they ended up sending me 10-count bags instead of just single coins. So I have 9 spares each of the 2 and 100,000 denomination coins, if any goons also got shorted but were unable to get replacements from Minion, I'd be more than happy to hook you up. Just shoot me a PM or something.
