boom boom boom posted:Yeah, but on the other hand, And it's still made nearly a million dollars in a day. I wonder how many people actually play the CMoN games, how many people don't play them and instead just paint their big box of random minis, and how many spend all that money to get a big box of minis that never leaves the closet?

moths posted:It looks like they're advising Secret Weapon on making modular bonesium dungeons. Looks promising! If they're broadly compatible with any of the Dwarven Forge sets, but at a bonesium fraction of the price, these things are going to catch fire.

I mean, if you're going for these you're probably more interested in them from a novelty/aesthetic standpoint, but still. News to me, mine haven't arrived yet.

I for one am shocked to learn that many TG gamers expect to receive everything for nothing, with all the costs absorbed by the company. Really they ought to set the goal lower too, $100,000 could easily fund a passionate team of 20 people for a year.

I got my PolyHero warrior dice today. Cracked them open straight away to see what they were like, and they seem fine. The D4 and D6 are a little on the light side, but the rest are pretty much in line with what I was expecting.

Robotech RPG Tactices funded in 2013, and the second half of that isn't coming because Palladium spent all the remaining money publishing books that were 10 years behind schedule. Pretty sure someone is pursuing legal action now, hopefully the company is wound up by the end of 2017

I've spent more than that on unpainted plastic barbies, but they're from and for 20 different games. It's not in any way different from people spending hundreds of dollars, if not more, on RPG books and supplements.

Like, my Steam account is worth a couple of thousand dollars at this point but notably it's taken me 13 years of hardcore gaming to do that. If you really want to blow your mind, now think about a person who spends a thousand dollars in one sitting on a pile of grey plastic, and then turns around and immediately shells out another two thousand dollars to get someone else to professionally paint it all

Acheson Creations is running a project to expand their line of 28mm dinosaurs, prehistoric animals, and modern animals. Aside from going with their various rules, I've found their animals to be good fodder for conversions, and well priced for their size in resin/metal.
