Huh, after my completely giving up hope on it ever seeing the light of day, Time Heroes just dropped a link to an art free, fully laid out version of the book in backer updates.

Insanely, for certain types of shipping it is both faster and cheaper to use two different carriers, one to get it to a USPS distribution center, and then normal postal service from there.

clockworkjoe posted:if they max out every single reward slot except for the bottom one, then they will barely make their goal with $7126 if I added it up right. You did. I kind of understand the logic of what they're going for, but if they max out their reward tiers exactly except the highest value one then all of the stated copies of the game are spoken for so I'm not sure how they're going to A WEBSITE TO ACCOMMODATE FUTURE SALES. XES RECORDS FOREVER BRAND if they don't have any more copies of the game or money to print and ship more (because they are totally not going to have money to print and ship more with that funding goal).

Evil Mastermind posted:Again: almost 5 years now to write a game that's classless d20 with Fate's aspects bolted on. What the ever loving gently caress. Unless this chapter contains the instructions to a lost Incan treasure horde, the secret to immortality, or a comprehensive and non-PUA way to win friends and get women to sleep with you, there's no reason for a chapter that, knowing GMS, will boil down to 'build a complicated adventure path and force the players to dance to your whims, lol!' can take ten goddamn months. I mean it's not like he tapped Robin Laws to write it (because Robin Laws, as a professional, would have turned it in on time) it's a GMing advice chapter for the most paint-by-numbers game made since the latest thing Monte Cook put out.

boom boom boom posted:The Tanto Cuore campaign is actually doing five campaigns at once, including local crowdfunding sites for each of the new translations they want to do. Has anybody ever done anything like that before? I've seen a few do multiple crowdfunding sites at once, but usually it was just scuzzy poo poo like doing an indiegogo flexible funding on the side. Why the hell indiegogo let's you do that and it hasn't caused them to crash and burn still confuses me.

Interface Zero creator Gun Metal Games put out a notice on Tuesday that they are now broke as hell due to not being able to budget properly for the amount of supplements they promised. I'm not sure if this counts as a Kickstarter fail or not, because they did get the core book and a number of supplements released.. it's just they put in addons for a LOT of supplements.

Alien Rope Burn posted:The third book from the Savage Worlds Rifts kickstarter dropped its PDF today. So for those of you who were worried that Kev would somehow sink that ship, it thus far remains unsunk. There's still a good chunk of stretch goals yet to come out, but the game is complete and playable now. The real question is does it combine the worst parts of Savage Worlds and RIFTS or is it actually decent?

If you're not going to use a traditional book printer there is no point in hitting up Kickstarter for money unless you have a hell of an art budget. If you're going to do like some kind of super fancy boutique print with real leather covers and gold leaf that's another valid option. Otherwise, put up your own drat money for your heartbreaker/retroclone and sell it through a POD middleman. Take out some ads. If you want to be a real publisher act like it. If you don't want to be a real publisher then sell your drat book to one! I am so sick of people using crowdfunding like it's a free candy bowl and then crashing and burning because they don't know what the gently caress they're doing.

Wow, way to negotiate in bad faith with your backers and the license holders. After doing something like that I'll never give those guys any money. Edit: That also raises the question of whether they legally can even continue the campaign since all their promo material up until the announcement has been branded.

Alien Rope Burn posted:Wouldn't they have to redo all the designs, molds, logos, etc.? Or are they not even there yet? Depends on the terms of their license and whether or not they completely dropped it or are just not using the name/branding. If they got the designs in a separate deal they can still use the figs... but judging from how these idiots are operating (never EVER work in a foreign language through an interpreter on a deal like this, get a bilingual on staff) I'm betting this is going to crash and burn even if they do keep enough money for their funding goal.

Hitlers Gay Secret posted:I don't understand a word that was said. Glad I'm American and don't have to worry about poo poo like that. Basically VAT is a sales tax, sales tax is supposed to be paid at the point of sale by the purchaser, so middlemen (shipping companies, etc) don't pay it, but you, the consumer, do. The problem is previous KS campaigns people were just eating the VAT instead of passing it along to the consumer (all inclusive pricing) instead of adjusting their pledge totals up to account for VAT and still charging the same base amount to everyone (tax not included pricing). Which meant that the people running the KS got less money from Euro pledges, sometimes substantially less. Since that isn't a sustainable business model, here we are.

You should pretty much never back a KS for a PC game. Especially if they don't have any sort of playable demo build available at the start of the KS. Best case scenario the game comes out as advertised a year (or more) behind schedule, worst case scenario the drat thing never comes out due to incompetence or outright fraud.

FRINGE posted:Why? Has there been a specific issue? So far (out of the three that I cared about) Eternity and Wasteland2 came out fine, and Torment seems to be on the way. Other ones I thought about, but didnt jump on (Like Banner Saga), also seemed to work out alright. Video game Kickstarters are probably the most inherently risky and as i mentioned in an earlier post pretty much nobody is able to give a real development roadmap with a realistic release date ever.

That's pretty much my only reason for GMS bashing, if he just said "I have depression/was in a car accident/house burned down/relative got cancer and I don't know when the book will be finished." It would barely be a blip on my radar. It's the constant 'Any Day Now!' He has in reply to criticism or questions and failure to deliver that keeps me mocking him.
