Second wave of Shadowfist arrived the other day, as an international backer I was about the last to get it. IK Games put in an Action Pack instead of my token pack, words shall be had.

GrandpaPants posted:Cthulhu Wars released a digital art book. It's some really nice art if you aren't already sick of the Lovecraft aesthetic (tentacles loving everywhere). They also have shots of the green for the HPL First Player marker.   A certain Kickstarter company offers gratuitous tittie miniatures to increase sales. Cthulhu Wars included a gratuitous tittie miniature, then added a tittie-free alternative at the request of backers who thought a GTM was not fitting. Guess which company advertises itself as selling product for mature gamers?

Bucnasti posted:I don't understand kickstarters for licensed properties. Will companies license their IP to just any random fool who walks in the door? Don't they require potential licensors to show that they're actually capable of producing a product on their own before they'll make a deal? They may have to show that their product will be good, but actually being able to produce it is a secondary consideration. If the Kickstarter fails and the licensees can't produce the game, the rights will revert and the IP holders will essentially have been given free money.

The Mars Attacks KS has a special level just for New York Comic Con: $300 for the game plus $325 in addon credit. It's a fair investment, but it's 25% discount on Kickstarter prices and you can buy extra copies of the base game with it. Pick up four extra base games and sell them for the KS price of $75, and you basically get your own base game plus $25 in addons for free.

If you select that level, you're getting the base game for less than nothing. Pick up more copies of the game as addons and sell them to friends at cost, and you can get your own copy plus Core Expansion 1 for free.

Given that the Succubus Queen is stark naked and full frontal, I think it's mildly NWS by anybody's standards.

LumberingTroll posted:I backed at the all resin level, looking forward to painting and playing this game. I dont think I can say it enough but I love me some co-op. Looking at it again, I really think they've done themselves no favours with their pledge levels. The boxed game costs $100 and gives Upgrades, but all the levels over $180 require you to pay $80-100 more to get Upgrades.

Cocks Cable posted:There's some controversy brewing in the new Shadows of Brimstone kickstarter. There's a mine cart level that gets you everything plain and simple, including all the little extra $ add-ons (past and future). But they limited each mine cart level to a mere 50 backers which a $25 bump in pricing on each subsequent round. So now there is a $150 different between round 1 mine cart and whatever the next available one is. It's been used before, but I don't recall the bumps being so big or the levels so small. Normally it's $5 or $10 bumps and 100 backers per level.

NTRabbit posted:If you keep that early bird but make your pledged total $100, you get an extra $10 to spend on an addon plus by being at $100+ total pledged you qualify for a free Supreme Regent mini! Adding extra cash in the backer survey doesn't ccount for those rewards. If you had to add any shipping, that counts too. It's a bit late now. 2753 backers, it just scraped over the line for the Sneaky Martian. I had to drop my pledge to the Dreadball team and the signed TPBs. My money was better spent elsewhere, I think.

If he'd run a few demo games or organize a league he'd probably find that way more profitable - but that's pretty effort intensive. Who is "he"? Because Dreadball has caught on pretty well in most parts of the UK.

Queen Games are doing a Kickstarter for a Big Box edition of Fresco. Pledge options include the chance to pick up Amerigo, Via Appia or the Big Box Alhambra along with Fresco for a cut price rate. It's a worker placement game where you have to restore a cathedral ceiling with the aid of your apprentices. The earlier you get them up in the morning the unhappier they become and the more expensive it is to buy paint, but of course you get first chance to act. I had a chance to play it with a friend yesterday and enjoyed it a lot. I managed to get the last $60 Early Bird, but there's a $65 Mid-Morning Bird level still open.

outlier posted:Round here, half of those who have played it think that Fresco is a fine and interesting game. The other half think it's just another euro, if a decent one. I have to confess to being surprised about it getting a Kickstarter slot: can't see there's going to be that much demand for it. Fresco Big Box is pushing 1200 backers and $100k with 70 hours to go. One in five of those backers have gone for the package with the Alhambra Big Box.

NTRabbit posted:The big problem with Fresco is the ridiculous shipping charges, no game is worth another $60 just to post it No, but it's not a problem with Queen Games charging ridiculous shipping fees. I checked the cost for a box that size from Germany to you in Australia and they're not making a profit. "Ridiculous" is a charge you level at those guys who were making the Eclipse counter racks and charging $30 to ship 120g of flat plastic from America to the UK.

I don't play games, I just love painting models and I'll be damned if it doesn't have some wonderful female miniatures that aren't suffering from some terrible tit-itus. Nary a giant nipple to be seen. It looks nice, but it's over $200 for an untried game from an untried company. The guy also set his revised goal at $2k when he needed $9k - not to say he's dishonest, but it doesn't raise my confidence in his planning.

Flavivirus posted:That reason is ridiculously bullshit; I've got 3 different tarot decks at home and none of them have nudity in. Actually tarot decks do often have nudity in. If it had been after the Ryder-Waite Tarot, for example, it would have nudity on The Lovers, The Devil and The World. But it's not on cards where nudity traditionally features. It's on cards including the Eight of Swords that doesn't even have a person on it in any real tarot deck, and the worst example of T&A is on loving Temperance - literally the card of moderate behaviour. That's why the justification is bullshit, and why I'm pissed off by it.

Those bloody metal coins - delivered in full, very late. Cthulhu Wars - delayed from 12/2013, now due in May give or take. Tiny Epic Kingdoms - only just finished. Fresco Big Box - due May-June. Mars Attacks - Dreadball team and GNs only, not due yet. Fief: France 1429 - only just finished. Tortuga - only just finished.
