Thedandmom posted:Deck of Legends just broke $10k and achieved the Poker Sized deck option. There are less than 24 hours remaining at this point and we're still a bit far off from the adventures compatible with 13th Age. So to be clear if we pledged for just one deck, when surveys come out we can chose poker sized right? If so your stuff will most likely replace my normal RPG card deck (which is just a normal card deck) for games that use them like Deadlands.

jammu posted:I'm not shocked that people find Body horror disturbing. That's actually genres intent. I don't think you understand anything about what body horror is. I mean, you're basically doing what every fan of body horror hates, using 'uh it's SUPPOSED TO BE GROSS DUR' as an excuse to defend lovely body horror. If I made a 'body horror' movie of a dude just pulling his eyes out with parasites crawling in them and puking blood it would, technically, be body horror I guess, but it'd also be lazy and stupid.

jammu posted:I'm not a genre purist, but when isn't fleshcrafted monstrosities and/or victims not body horror? That's pretty much the whole Shtick of the setting & miniature line. That and boobies (not part of body-horror, except to the horribly repressed). Because body horror, on paper, has a point beyond being gross. Like, it's gross to prove a point, to create a concept of fear of your own body, the idea that the most constant thing in your world could in theory be turned against you. Like, Alien is a great body horror thing, because the whole point of things like chestbursters and all isn't just 'ew nasty' it's to create the dread that these creatures could be incubating in you and no matter how strong and tough you are, you can't fight a razor toothed worm ripping itself out of your guts. That or go the Dead Space or The Fly route where the human body gets perverted. The human body gets twisted so you can look at that figure and recognize human bits, which makes it even worse when the shambling mass of flesh and bone wants to eat your skull. You want to empathize with the humanity you see in it but can't get around the fact that it's behaving decidedly inhumanly. These minis are like if the entirety of Aliens was just chestbursters with no context.

Spincut posted:The Kickstarter for Ryuutama, the Japanese exploration-based RPG, ends in 48 hours. If the artwork looks that way for the entire book, I think I'll probably put down the whole $50 for the physical book plus all supplements, because the art is gorgeous. I'm in for 50 and have no regrets. Also, I'm also in for 60 bucks for a loving Megaman boardgame so, ya know, take my advice as you will. But ye Ryuutama looks delightful, it's magic Japanese Oregon Trail.

UrbanLabyrinth posted:My reading is that the $25 level lets you buy it at-printing-cost from DTRPG, so you'll still be paying for printing the book and shipping after paying the $25. I think you get a coupon for printing on demand, so you just pay for shipping when you do it. It's a better deal for the EU people because DTRPG is in London.

Bummed out that the Dwarfs of Midgard is so high on the list it most likely won't be hit unless something nuts happens. Still, if I can use a suit made of giant bones or rune magic to go all Attack on Titan against a dwarf in a mech, I'm happy.

Yea I remember when in the 11th century we were living like... Well I hate to keep repeating it but literal cavemen. This is literally describing primal, sub-human, lifestyles as if they're a part of our development as a culture. edit: I do love his "Well I'M gonna call them Dark Ages no matter what those 'historians' say" thing. Like, the point of people moving away from that term is it is actually super not accurate and mainly used to act like either Europe was the center of all advancement and thus when it was at a low period the world was, or to vastly overblow the idea of 'religion keeping science down' or whatever to act like nothing was discovered or expanded during the time. He's scoffing at people not using the term because he wants to wallow in the absolute worst, disgusting, misinterpretations of that time. sexpig by night fucked around with this message at 02:38 on Mar 16, 2014 |

Scyther posted:Imagine a dungeon crawling game like Descent where rather than rolling dice, looking at stats, and moving across a grid, you instead take aim and send your barbarian flying across the board to slam into the skeleton archer. Each player character and monster disc has their own little special abilities. If this sounds too silly or childish to you, you probably won't be into it, but if the concept sounds cool I don't think you'll be disappointed (assuming they don't gently caress up the kickstarter royally, but they have experience publishing the game and three expansions in the past so I'm pretty confident they won't.) Oh this is that game where you literally throw your units at monsters and the 'special abilities' are poo poo like 'the barbarian can get flicked twice if it knocks a dude over' and all?

Yea reminder if you look at the KS and think 'neat but too much' remember this is the fancy version for us nerdlords who already adore this game. You should totally check out a basic copy of the vanilla game and get it (I'm almost positive those are reasonably priced), it's a wonderful, chill, game that's super easy to learn and can be played with anyone at all.

signalnoise posted:Child present. Last time one of them participated, it pretty much killed the game (Catan). Her mom went to the bathroom, so she picked up the cards holding them face out, then tried to trade with her dad. IT WASN'T EVEN HER TURN!!!!! There are a good amount of tokens, so that needs to be watched with a baby around, but yea having her around likely won't screw the game up.

homullus posted:Assuming they're right about 20% going to fulfillment and taxes, it's $400k, or about $27,000 an episode. If I were a competent makeup person, lighting designer, script supervisor, post-production producer, sound guy, sound editor, whatever, I'd want money for working on a whole season of a show. Just assume each episode takes only a single day; it's not that weird to imagine somebody competent wanting over $1000 for half a month's work. Seriously the inevitable '$X?! WHAT A RIPOFF HOW IS THAT THE COST' posts for things like this always just translate to 'I'm assuming people work for free right and taxes don't exist?'. Like, the show is part of a network that's got a bunch of poo poo in it it's not just them putting a video camera on the table.

You explore new locations (hexes), expand your territory, and evolve your species in an effort to become the most successful Ant Colony in the meadow.

Yea I think most know despite the games he's associated with being some of my all time favorites I'm no Wick fan (I think in the last F&F thread I implied I'd like Wick to choke on his own cock at one point?), that said the concept is really cool and I had no problem kicking in 25 bucks to see that. Like Dwarf said maybe I'll have a moment of 'what the gently caress am I doing this is Wick we're talking about this is gonna suck dick' and drop down to 5 but I can see why this concept appeals to RPG nerds regardless of the name behind it.

Like, is there some massive jump in quality that I'm not seeing as a casual observer? What is these dude's deal, I guess is what I'm asking because I'm not aware of them or the drama or all that crap.

Gravy Train Robber posted:Speaking as a fan of co-op games, I also felt pretty meh about it on first glance. But I was bored and watched the review of a prototype being played, and it actually looked pretty good. I printed out the Print & Play components this evening, and was able to get a game in. It does feel pretty solid for what it is... Kind of a perfectly distilled to the basics co-op experience that reminded me a lot of Pandemic. There's a little groggy part of me that wants to be all 'eh why are they doing another KS I don't have my TEK game yet eeeeeeh!' but these guys seem to know their poo poo and I too hosed around with the pnp version with my friends and we had a great time, so I'm in for this too. Also this game can cause some Pandemic level arguments for sure, the phrase 'goddamnit hurt yourself and come help me out' got tossed around a decent bit by the end of the game. I love the slow burn that comes from constantly adding more monsters to the horde, it really captures the 'heroes with their backs against the wall' feeling. It's kinda amazing that a tiny meeple game got the whole Helms Deep feeling that a lot of way bigger games failed at. edit: It helps that the prices are very reasonable, 25 bucks for the game+the KS bonus+the inevitable pile of stretch goals that'll flood this like TEK is a very fair price. sexpig by night fucked around with this message at 02:12 on Jun 21, 2014 |
