Serf posted:I love the FFG books for providing detailed information on the Star Wars universe that is better-presented than on Wookiepedia and the excellent art, but hoo boy is it a bad system for running an actual Star Wars game. The only good part of the system mechanically are the Destiny points. I really could not disagree more. I've run several campaigns and had a blast in a very Star Wars-y fashion.

In addition to what's mentioned above, their "Risks and Challenges" section is comically arrogant in asserting that nope, nothing can go wrong. They even imply that they've already ordered product.

neaden posted:I mean, RPGs are a pretty cheap hobby and if five people buy this and play it for say 20 hours that's cheaper then getting the newest Call of Duty. Especially if you are a game designer I'd imagine you'd be happy to see a product like this take off. Its an interesting paradigm shift; explicitly marketing a game to a group to buy in together, rather than to a GM

Difference being that GMS keeps promising explicit release dates over and over and over and over and over again. All will no sign of actual progress being made. That's a bit different than "hey, I'm leaving the internet because I've been literally doxxed"

LordAba posted:They are over already! They mentioned during the livestream that there's some issues with capcom with mixing Mega Man and non-mega man art assets. That's why the card backs are new and don't match other Pixel Tactics products. So if they want to use ability icons, they'd have to make brand new ones, most likely using Capcom art assets, and then get each and every icon approved by the legal team.

LordAba posted:Drat! That'll make things a bit harder to mix, but I guess it shouldn't be a big deal for teaching since you would either stick straight to normal tactics or megaman. Not that I've ever crossplayed two Pixel Tactic decks yet... I might have to try that this weekend. Opaque backed sleeves are your friend. Then you can mix Pixel Tactics Mega Man, Dominion, and Magic the Gathering in the same deck if you really wanted to.

IncredibleIgloo posted:My Son is a super huge Mega Man fan, so I backed this for him, kind of as a Holiday present, and so he can experience the, uh, wonders of Kickstarter. Is the game actually any good? I picked up some other actually released pixel tactics for him to learn first and have something on the actual present opening day. Its biggest problem is that it can be incredibly swingy in terms of balance. But individual matches are over quick enough and the replay value is high enough that I've found that the occasional match where one side can curbstomp the other ends up more humorous than frustrating. A sort of "Wait, you can do what to all my units??" incredulousness rather than being overly frustrating. Plus, generally speaking, the later sets are better balanced than the older ones, so the new Mega Man cards will probably be pretty well balanced against each other.

Rad Valtar posted:So if I back the Mega Man Pixel Tactics with the tier that just has 2 copies of the same cards are the two teams going to be too similar every time I play? I'm willing to bump up to get both the Red and blue packs but I'm wondering if it's needed right away? There's plenty of play in one box, but two boxes are better. Plus you don't get stretch goal cards with only one box.

Cat Face Joe posted:What was the issue with the delivery of Alas Vegas? It missed its projected release date over and over and over again, with a never ending parade of various excuses from the author. It looked well on its way to becoming a sister project to Far West, but unlike that project, Wallis was apparently working on it the whole time. Edit: Wallis also picked up a couple other projects to work in the meantime, leading some to think he was unfairly neglecting the thing he had gotten KS funds for.

Not the worst problem, except for people who have things delivered to mailrooms or whatever instead of personal mailboxes.

EDIT: I'm looking on Amazon, and I'm finding a lot of old stuff that's really close in price to the KS addon price, and probably not much better than the savings off that Galactic Bundle... jivjov fucked around with this message at 00:31 on Aug 11, 2017 |
