FirstAidKite posted:Is it? Maybe it's because the stuff I know about d&d basically involves 4e and a tiny bit of 3.5e but his work didn't come across as remaking d&d, intentionally or otherwise. Again: as far as I can tell, because this guy has like no information about this game anywhere. The game doesn't seem to be about anything, it's just classes and races and maybe grid-based combat? I mean, look at his selling points: there's an equipment chapter! A "massive" world history nobody's going to read! Rules for the game master! I did some googling to see if there was something else, but all I could find was his reddit posts, which boiled down to "Hey, check out my RPG!" with no details. Then when people asked him for details, he just said "you can get the preview for $10" instead of just telling people what was unique about his setting, or how characters work. At the end of the day, he made another d20-based high fantasy RPG in a hobby littered with the corpses of thousands of d20-based high fantasy RPGs.

GimpInBlack posted:Alternatively, I have a theory that the John Wick trilogy is an Unknown Armies campaign focusing on a former Godwalker of the Executioner turned Masterless Man. Most of the supporting characters are high-ranked Executioner, Merchant, or Necessary Servant avatars. Laurence Fishburne is an Urbanomancer.  Holy poo poo that makes so much sense

Vincent Baker just launched a KS for Under Hollow Hills, which is about a circus that travels through both the human and fae realms. He's been previewing stuff for this through his patreon for a while now and it all looks really good.

Flavivirus posted:Ayup, DriveThruRPG print proofing can be a real pain in the rear end. Good job on getting this to the finish line! Question, though: on the rewards, it says on the £25 level that you'll be able to add the deck on in BackerKit. Does that mean it won't be available as an add-on otherwise?

The next Torg Eternity kickstarter has launched, but instead of using Kickstarter they're doing it directly at GameOnTabletop, which is the site Uliseses Spiel uses for post-KS pledge management. They've also run a bunch of projects directly on there; the main difference so far seems to be that it actually charges you up front so it really is more of a pre-order than anything else.

Final Girl is a solo board game from the folks who did Hostage Negotiator (and uses a modification of the same base mechanics). You play the main character of a slasher flick, trying to rescue victims before they get offed and prepping for the big final confrontation. There are currently four scenarios, each with a killer and map, but you can mix-and-match the slashers with the locations. The game itself works off a card-management deckbuilding-like system. You don't have a deck, just a hand of cards to play. When you buy cards they go to your hand, but when you play them, they don't return to the market until the second turn after they're played. You can also play cards to mitigate a bad die roll, so it becomes important to know what cards you have available and when they're going to come up again. I've watched a few playthroughs and it looks pretty fun. I like how you can put any killer with any map, plus each killer has multiple powers and "endgame" abilities so they don't always play the same way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RpXdVXclxA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXMyhEmQmj8

jivjov posted:The only thing of that whole interaction that doesn't make sense to me is his pithy "never back one of my projects ever again" thing. Like....you pledged, you didn't realize there wasn't a manager for it (which is a understandable thing given their ubiquity, even if it's stated in the KS FAQ as such), so you asked for your money back. Why would that warrant that level of hostility? I remember on G+ when that happened and his excuse was "people hate me no matter what I do so I just do what I want anyway."

Impermanent posted:there is some merit to the idea of community managers, and products they are involved with, being tagged as such. For example, it seems far less likely that they'd up and disappear on you, like a few of the kickstarters I've gone in on have. Did that actually come out? I remember Always/Never/Now taking forever.

Zurui posted:I didn't back Tiny Epic Zombies because I'm not into zombies as a schtick but if the mechanics are good I may look into it. I do love the ITEMeeples. Zombies is pretty good as a co-op; the focus isn't so much on killing zombies as trying to complete three randomly-chosen missions. Just don't use the "Quarantine the Infected" mission and you're good.

For the dozen or so of you who still care about Torg Eternity, the Orrorsh not-on-KS KS is up. https://www.gameontabletop.com/cf430/torg-eternity-orrorsh-eng.html It also has a giant-box option since y'all seem to be into those lately.

Dawgstar posted:While I backed it immediately it's going to be the... interesting cosm. Like one I really hope is approached with some sensitivity since they have a bunch of people called Victorians now hanging out on the Indian subcontinent which has been a Thing in the past. The real question is how they're going to handle Pan-Pacifica. It was supposed to be the last realm released, but given that a large part of that region is "being ravaged by a corp-engineered plague" they wisely put it on the backburner. quote:Potentially problematic issues aside, the all-digital everything pack is $80. I wanted to balk but then thought with all the labor that goes into it that's probably what it's worth, maybe even still not. Even more people are going for the 'everything in the box' option anyway. quote:Shipping on that thing is going to be the real horror of the Gaunt Man, eh? Eh? Yeah, you get it.

Two projects just dropped: Everyway 25th anniversary edition is an old diceless game by Jonathan Tweet (although I don't know if he's involved with this version). It uses Tarot and art cards for inspiration. Maquis: 2nd Edition is a solo worker-placement game about being in La Resistance. It's a small footprint and plays pretty quickly so it's something you can bust out and play on a TV tray. There's an upgrade kit for $5 if you already own the first edition.

Wow, a bunch of stuff is launching today. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/9thlevel/rebel-scum/ quote:Over the last few years, there has been a startling rise in the number of people that are willing to SPEW HATE. These people believe in white power, and fill the internet with nativist, racist, fascist crap. Quite a few of these evildoers are deeply entrenched in the various FANDOMS that us nerds adore. Very specifically the fandom of a certain space opera franchise that we love with our whole hearts has too many sad bad guys.

Not to mention the piles of angry chuds who are still pissed off that the main character of the new trilogy was a g-g-g-girl and that a BLACK MAN was a major secondary character (and have made insanely long anti-SJW videos about it). Not explicitly fascist, but in the same general wheelhouse, I figure.

Infinitum posted:lol got my copy of Tiny Epic Pirates over the weekend, and there's so much poo poo in the box it won't close fully. This shop on Etsy does phenomenal inserts for Tiny Epic games. He made an all-in-one-box one for Pirates, but it sold out so fast he had to remove the listing so he could get caught up. I highly recommend his work; I'd keep an eye on the shop for when the Pirates insert becomes available again.
