Is anyone backing the Dice Tower KS and getting promo pack A that doesn't want their Onitama cards? That's the only promo I need and I'm not liking the idea of spending $50 on a single promo...

I guess I'll turn this on it's head--anyone need any of the other poo poo from Promo Pack A? I'll back for it and sell off the spares

JazzFlight posted:Speaking of the Empire, is there really any canon lore for what their objectives/ideals are? Like, obviously they're evil and want to exert their control on the galaxy (and Palpatine probably wants to do some shady Sith stuff), but I've always thought that it's been kept so generic as to not make any specific political message besides facism is bad. I guess a law you could intuit is that they're xenophobic and only employ humans? One of the big things to remember is that we as viewers have a LOT more exposure to Jedi Stuff than the average Galactic citizen. Randos in the galaxy would maybe know about these weird religious monks who served as generals in the clone war, but would be like Han in A New Hope and just think "yeah okay there's no way these guys have magic wizard powers". So if the empire outlaws the religion and cracks down on even talking about the Jedi too loudly, yeah, folks aren't gonna know about them. E: compare to all the stuff people learn about for the first time regarding real world POC history. We regularly sanitize history to benefit the victors.

Got my copy of Import/Export definitive edition today! Hot take...I like the metal ships and containers, but they are simultaneously too small and too heavy. Slightly larger but less dense ones would have been much nicer for ease of handling, I think.

That one had an update about blue envelopes and blue cover art and is that too much blue. But yeah, I'm really enjoying zine updates. Takes the edge off waiting for Battlecon errata and for Millennium Blades to ship.

To be fair, it's not til return of the Jedi that the rebels have any notable non-humans on staff either, other than Chewbacca. The big throne room March at the end of the first film is all humans, everyone on echo base is human, etc.

There's a definite dance to KS updates. A lot of projects I back go months of radio silence and turns out its just "Yep, just waiting our turn at the printers, yep just waiting for a container ship, yep just waiting for the bigass ship to get unwedged from the Suez" and others actually put out those updates weekly and get to update #75 with no real substance.

Nemesis Of Moles posted:One of the things is Kickstarter has a cool feature where backers can mash a button demanding an update, so you can be in a position where all you're doing is waiting on a boat for 3 months, but every couple of weeks or so you get an anxiety inducing email telling you exactly how many people have mashed the button since your last update. So either you put up with that or post an update to make it stop for a lil bit. Means you end up saying not a whole lot over and over again Man I feel bad about clicking that button now. I always am like "hmm, I wonder how things are going" but I didn't realize the creators got raked over the coals for it on the back end

He didn't actually apologize for any of the things people were (rightfully) mad at him about. He apologized for "sorting the names strangely" not for "including someone unacceptable"

Angrymog posted:Silvervine person - I'm not sure why you want my discord ID to give me the voucher for the POD copy of Floria - it's not a necessary bit of information given that you already have my email, and doesn't take into account people who either don't want Discord, or don't want to join yet another discord server. AFAIK the voucher is being sent out my e-mail regardless and joining the discord is just an optional perk

DLC Inc posted:that Senjutsu game seems like the definitive "boring game with a boring board and cards, hoisting up the entirety of the Kickstarter with its miniatures" which is a real shame, because the miniatures look great and I wish they were just their own goddamn thing as opposed to being game pieces on a lame game. Reminds me of stuff like the street fighter miniature "board game" where it's just 2 or 3 figures on a flat featureless board. I had a completely different reaction--I really liked the look of the other components, and I dropped a $1 pledge so I can peruse actual gameplay stuff and make a decision later -- i didn't have a chance to actually look at it much yet, is gameplay outright bad?

I know the mint game cash flow was borked, they used to engage in the time honored tradition of violating Kickstarter's rules on running a new project without fulfilling existing ones, and when I called that out, the email I got from someone from the company said they ran new KSes to keep money flowing in the pay for employment and fulfillment on prior projects -- guess it finally caught up with them

I'm not backing this new edition on principle--after the last time they crowdfunded it and oversold and told people "yeah we're not gonna refund. You just have to get a box of expansions you can't use and just sit on them until who knows when when we reprint the base game". I had to threaten a credit card chargeback to get my pledge back on that one
