Wow! I actually received my MERCS: Recon pledge. It's a lot of loving minis, and the rulebook is unnecessarily large.

I like the game well enough and the giant pile of additional minis will surely enhance the experience, but I do have a few quibbles with how they handled the whole thing. Like how they packed the stretch reward content straight up loose in the shipping box. And didn't label any of it. Thanks guys. A bunch of unlabelled, unassembled grey plastic minis. You shouldn't have. Also, they promised player boards (which you need to actually use them) for all the additional merc minis and....provided a PDF of them for the consumer to print and assemble on their own dime. The Lost Margin pack also seems pretty thin, which I would be more annoyed about if I had separately added it for the listed $25 instead of getting it in the All In package for $100 for like 8 or 9 packs.

Yeah, I'm currently just wanting to play the Mercs skirmish game, which means I just need to know which bag works for who, but I'm going to have to reference concept art to look them up. Great!

I love Dreadball. Can't praise it enough. However, I have to say you might want to investigate your ability to actually play the game in your area. In my city Guild Ball is the one true sports minis game.

RE: Dreadball
It's an incredibly simple game to proxy. I did it with wooden hexes I got from Litko and I'd do it again.

That said if anyone is interested in Dreadball, separately, I'd love to do some online games using Vassal. If you don't know the game and are interested in learning, hit me up with a PM and I'll teach it to you.

The "Don't want to receive updates from this project? That's okay, you can unsubscribe." blurb at the bottom of Kickstarter project emails does the same thing on a per-project basis if you don't want to go into your account settings every time.

If I drew a comparison between supporting Kingdom Death and supporting Donald Trump, and saying you're ambivalent about the abhorrent poo poo that comes along with that, would that be Godwin, or do you specifically have to mention Hitler

gently caress you megacon for making a character deck for a different game that you can only get by purchasing a 100 dollar board game I don't give a gently caress about

Back this.

quote:

Getting On Board is a web series that follows independent tabletop game designers and shows their process for creating and sharing their games with the world. This series is for anyone curious about how a board game is made - from initial concept to shelves; for anyone with their own amazing ideas for a game, but isn't sure where to start; or for anyone who just loves playing games!

By interviewing different designers, we aim to cover the various stages of creating a board game. This includes (but is not limited to): concept design, prototyping, playtesting, launching a Kickstarter, finding a publisher, printing, and distribution.

A season of 6 to 8 episodes that run roughly 6-8 minutes each will be made available to the public online.
