Seems someone saw the Game Canopy and liked it. So they made their own, and is going to provide the plans for free.

JazzFlight posted:Anyone got any thoughts about Anachrony? It's ending in about a day and it seems like an interesting sci-fi worker placement game. Rahdo really loved it and the miniatures to slip your cardboard tokens into seem like a silly but fun addition. A lot of people liked their previous game, Trickerion, although there were complaints of slightly excessive fiddliness. I like the look of it, although it's not quite as original as you think: the time travel mechanic was handled almost identically in Eclipse: Shadow of the Rift. If you're on the fence and have played Trickerion, you can get that game and its expansion as an add-on for less than online retail cost.

boom boom boom posted:The Tanto Cuore campaign is actually doing five campaigns at once, including local crowdfunding sites for each of the new translations they want to do. Has anybody ever done anything like that before? Giochi regularly run campaigns on their own site alongside the Kickstarter. The KS is usually for the English language edition and their own campaigns are for foreign language as well.

Xelkelvos posted:Tanto Cuore isn't really all that bad a game. It falls into the pile of games that are "Dominion but..." [...] If this were to have a bland and generic theme like Dominion, it'd probably have not received as much attention, but it'd probably get more play in more public gaming groups. If Tanto Cuore had a bland and generic theme like Dominion then it would be Dominion, because Tanto Cuore literally is Dominion reskinned with anime tittygirl art. Stop defending it.

jmzero posted:It makes me respect you more to know you haven't played that game, but my understanding is that you're actually wrong on this (though I haven't played the game either). I believe it actually pioneered the "entomb" mechanic later seen in Valley of the Kings. The mechanic was, uh.. themed differently.. but I remember game design people thinking it was an interesting idea at the time, and that it was implemented well in this terrible, terrible game. OK, that I was not aware of. What I am aware of is the time someone put up pictures of half a dozen or more Dominion cards next to their exact clones in Tanto Cuore, and the gushing early review on BGG that said "Copper, Silver, Gold, Estates and Provinces all cost $1 more, so it's a totally different game, guys!".

berzerkmonkey posted:That model is a anomaly, and not indicative of the product line - it was a add-on sculpted by known cheesecake artist, Palo Parente. While there are a few topheavy models or an exposed midriff, most are clad pretty conservatively, and many are pretty drat austere for a miniatures game: Dressed, yes, but it's telling that the big girl is the only one who can keep her knees together.

Merauder posted:C'mon, you're not even trying. Magic was actually garbage in '93. :P It wasn't as polished as it is today, but it was still amazing because nobody had seen anything like it before. malkav11 posted:I certainly would. It's got plenty of original ideas and the overall design is better than many other TCGs I've played. Yes, it's inspired by Magic - like, you know, the entire genre, albeit a bit more directly than many - but it's not Magic. "Inspired by" = "copies every game mechanic down to the deck limits and starting life totals", huh? There's a reason why Cryptozoic postponed the release until about two days after the WOTC patents on CCGs expired - those patents were filed specifically to prevent exactly that kind of cloning.

Evil Mastermind posted:Don't know if this was mentioned, but there's a KS going on for Dreadball 2nd Edition. I don't know how good the game is but I guess the first edition was popular? If you like the idea of Blood Bowl but don't like insane dice chuckers with three billion conditional modifiers such that a single match takes three hours to play, Dreadball may be for you. Still lots of dice, but less modifiers (and they're more easily tracked), single rolls resolve most actions and there's a hard cap of 7 turns per player so you can play a five round league tournament in one day.

berzerkmonkey posted:Shipping overseas from the US sucks balls. Anything larger than an envelope pretty much has a base price of $25 USD, and it just goes up from there. If you're not using custom packing, maybe. I had a guy in the US sending me a copy of Spyrium a couple of years back and he asked me if I wanted to go back on it because shipping the standard box to the UK cost more than the game. I showed him the magic of topology and cut the costs from something ludicrous like $35 to $15.

Not Armoured Core continues to fall slowly for the seventh day in a row, but expect that to increase a little now someone has pointed out that their "full refund" policy puts their Kickstarter charges on the customer. One thought I had: if they're no longer using the Armoured Core licence, does that not mean they'll have to retool all their models?

Gendail posted:I'd hate to be the person trying to cancel my pledge, only to realize I can't because it will bring the project below funding. Cancel now while you can!!! It's lost another $5k in the last 24 hours. They have said that anyone who asks for a refund within 30 days of the Kickstarter ending will get a 100% refund, but to me that makes it look even shadier - they're rewarding cynicism and exploiting trust. Plus, there's the possibility that they might reach the funding goal but then drop below it courtesy of refunds and not be able to fulfil. I wouldn't be at all surprised if this project never ships.

Zanzibar Ham posted:I thought projects made shipping EU friendly by teaming up with a European importer to concentrate and lower the VAT costs so it ends up cheaper for Europeans. Are you telling me that each EU friendly project has actually had to eat all the VAT instead? No. They will have charged the VAT, if they are smart at least. EU friendly projects are shipped from inside the EU, and so don't incur import duties as well as sales tax.

Zanzibar Ham posted:Okay, so if the games weren't produced in Europe then at some stage VAT had to be paid? No, wherever the games were produced then at some stage the local sales tax was paid by you. What changes is whether the game was being sold at a price with that in mind. Example: UK VAT is 20%. If the pledge level is $300 inclusive of taxes, everyone pays $300 but the actual cost to UK backers is $250 and the remainder is VAT. If it is exclusive of taxes, the UK backer will pay an additional $60 and backers in other regions will pay whatever their local sales tax may be.

FRINGE posted:It is ridiculous with the rest of the availavble tax structures. Sales tax is one of the most regressive taxes. The born-poor person and the born-rich person eat the same number of sandwiches per week. The poor-person loses a much larger relative portion of their income to fill the need for food, and then a larger relative portion of their income to pay tax on that food. The rich person doesnt notice. I don't know how things are in the States, but in the UK food and clothes are exempt from sales tax. This is what stops it being a de facto regressive tax. Also, if you think 20% is an absurd rate: it's actually lower than the EU average which is about 22%. Hungary has a 27% VAT rate.
