There's a new edition of Villains & Vigilantes currently funding, but I don't know enough about V&V (apart from it being the first superhero RPG back in the day) to really comment.

I've had four tabletop RPG projects that have just stopped due to the writers pretty much vanishing off Kickstarter with the money: Topher Gerkey's Monsterhearts setting, David Hill's Fate mecha game ", and Stab City. Also technically the two Last Stand kickstarters, but I know about the circumstances behind that. Which, considering I'm just over 200 backed projects (  ) is actually not a bad success/failure rate.

Topher has pretty much vanished off Kickstarter (although he still has people defending him there for some reason), but posts almost constantly on G+. He's also very into Monster High.

fr0id posted:Having depression is not equivalent to being harassed and stalked, and I apologize for implying otherwise. It just seems to me like people have been bullying the dude who has admitted to having mental health issues. Yeah, he keeps promising new dates that he can't make, but that's obviously the sign of a dude who is desperately afraid to disappoint people and would rather trash his reputation than tell people he's going to be late. Like, back when he still held the Icons licence, he took preorders for the Icons Team-Up book. But after his publisher Cubicle-7 cut ties with him, GMS told everyone who preordered that not only would they not be getting their expected hardcopies, but also that he wasn't going to give anyone cash refunds at all; you were only getting Adamant store credit and that was that, and if you have a problem with that then gently caress you. That's why he's got such bad reputation.

Alien Rope Burn posted:It's good to see but I have zero interest in the old Deadlands system. To me, seeing the conclusion of their plot point campaigns (and the game's metaplot thus far) feels a lot more significant. Still, it's almost like seeing the beginning and end of the line at the same time.

Hell On Earth Reloaded kind of split the difference on metaplot; the big nutbag battle between the Reckoners and everyone else still happened, but the assumption is that HoE: Reloaded takes place shortly thereafter, with the Reckoners gone and all the major NPCs off the table, allowing PCs (or others) to fill in the voids.

Demon Gate: apocalyptic fantasy tabletop role-playing game quote:The system and mechanics are solid and have been play tested for about 20 years thus I have no worries as far as the system goes. quote:We use a dice level system for skills and attributes so each time you increase your skill or attribute you move up a new level or rank on your dice. For example: you might start with a Perception attribute of 10, on the dice table it shows you that you will roll a d6 when making a perception check. You can now roll this to match or beat a target number for success. If you advance in your perception attribute you will be rolling a d8 now. As you gain more points to an attribute your die or dice will increase. d8 to d10, d12, then to 2d6, d8+d6, 2d8, etc. You can go up pretty high to the point where you are rolling three dice together.

In non-pretentious project news, [url="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/821979583/interface-zero-20-cyberpunk-action-for-the-pathfin"Gun Metal Games are kickstarting a Pathfinder version of Interface Zero 2.0[/url]. I backed the Savage Worlds and Fate Core versions, and David Jarvis has been delivering like a mofo. IZ is a solid cyberpunk setting with elements of more modern ideas like transhumanism, and also remembers that the world outside the US exists and actually covers what's going on in other countries.quote:Interface Zero 2.0 is a cyberpunk setting…Sort of. Interface Zero is inspired by a plethora of sources including novels such as Neuromancer, Mona Lisa Overdrive, Burning Chrome, Count Zero, Altered Carbon, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, and Snow Crash.

Mr.Misfit posted:How so? AssCreed 2 was a good game, how is that wickian? Well, in Black Flag you are forced to stop your cool sandboxy pirate and exploration adventure to return to the "real world" and walk slowly around a modern office building to get unskippable cutscened at. That sounds like something Wick would do.

Oh poo poo son it's Scion Second Edition! On the plus side, they're going to actually take the time to describe the setting. Oh, and ten pantheons this time around. And it seems like you can start play as a mortal and get your powers later. On the downside, the link to the rules preview is broken, so I don't know if the rules are still completely broken. Also: $85 for the two books you need to play at the actual "Scion: Hero" campaign level.

Really, my big questions for Scion 2e are "Is the dice system still ridiculously broken?", "Is Dex still the god stat?", "Are there still useless purviews?", and "does the game realize we don't care about their pregens?".

What are your guys thoughts about the game? TEG is a lot of fun; my friends and I bust it out pretty often. It's a low-footprint dice-rolling-and-allocation game that's easy to learn and scales well for the number of people. This is a nice overview video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDRFYtoFgHA

Given that it's a "first created zero backed" situation, the guy probably thinks you just make the kickstarter and everyone will just find different it on their own. 5'll get you 10 he hasn't gone to any of the major sites to advertise.

A.E.G.I.S. is a game about giant combining robots. You like giant combining robots, right? I've had the chance to play this a few times in the past, and I really enjoyed it. The way it works is that you put together a team of five robots of various types (attack, evasive, guard) for a squad-vs-squad battle. Each robot contributes to an Energy pool, and you spend from that pool to activate each robot's attacks or abilities. Using abilities involves rolling d6's to beat a number or get matches. And, of course, you can combine different robots to make new, bigger robots. Which robots you can create via combining is dependent on the ones you have on your team, so you have to build your core team of five with an eye to that. Combined robots will provide less energy, but have better abilities, so you have to be aware of the best time to do it. It's also possible to block an opponent's combiner by destroying one of the needed robots. And yes, you can combine combined robots into even better robots. You can jam your whole squad together Voltron-style if need be. Like I said, I really like this game. It's a simple, small-footprint strategy game at a decent price point. Plus there's 40 different robots in the box, so you've got a lot of variety.
