Gaming Kickstarters

[Psymonkee]

Way over funded already but this will be well worth checking out!

Burgle Bros was brilliant and I heard great things about Paperback so I'm happy to back this one blindly!

Perfect if you want something for 2 players!

Just snuck in before the end and backed Massive Darkness..

Really wanted to back this but just can't justify it due to a few issues all happening at once, the price of the pound only being one of them

 

[Jed Shields]

I backed Massive Darkness at the end, figured it would probably be my last big KS seeing as we're coming out of the EU and P&P will go through the roof. Looking forward to the game and the Z:BP crossover, but also the amount of monsters that I can use in the future for other things such as rpg, mordheim type skirmishes etc.

Armored Core™ RTS - A Real Time Strategy Board Game

 

[Spuj]

I backed a Kickstarter for a game called 7th Continent which is due to be shipped around October. This however is also the month that my baby is due and with everything else I do I will have absolutely zero time to play this.

Think I'm going to look at selling it brand new as soon as it is delivered. Guessing either Ebay or maybe BGG are my best bets?

 

[Psymonkee]

BGG is usually a good shout.

I've had another project arrive - Manhattan Project Chain Reaction. Distilled version of the main game that plays quickly - great fun!

Armored Core™ RTS - A Real Time Strategy Board Game

Looks pretty cool.

 

[JeditOjanen]

Looks pretty cool.

You're late to the party. Bad Crow declared on Sunday that they were removing the Armored Core licence from the product "to avoid delays in getting licencing approval on the stretch goal materials" (translation: they're offering stretch goals they don't actually have the rights to produce) and since then 20% of their backers have bailed. I would advise against backing this project.

My Pillars of eternity KS turned up at work whilst on holiday.

I'm back now and have picked it up to play this weekend

That's a shame, looked like a cool idea.

Maybe. But apparently it's just come out that Bad Crow launched the project without a sealed deal to use the Armoured Core IP, so it's now in toxic waste territory.

Next you'll be telling me the kickstarter for the 25th anniversary Heroquest game won't arrive. Oh wait...

Received my copy of Secret Hitler today. I went for the wooden box version. The quality of everything is really amazing. Looking forward to this hitting the table.

Thornwatch Kickstarter is up:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/loneshark/thornwatch

Lone Shark Games and Penny Arcade have combined forces to create the first Eyrewood Adventures Game: Thornwatch!

Thornwatch is a graphic novel adventure that bridges the gap between narrative-driven RPGs and pick-up-and-play board games. Players take on the role of the Thornwatch: sworn guardians within the dangerous, world-spanning magical forest known as the Eyrewood. Each session begins in crisis, when a desperate denizen of the forest ties a knot of thorns around a birch tree and binds the Thornwatch to their aid. Years in the making, this game was originally envisioned by Penny Arcade's Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins and is co-designed with Lone Shark's Mike Selinker, Chad Brown, and Rodney Thompson. We present to you: Thornwatch.

Anyone seen/backed Massive Darkness by Coolminiornot who made Zombicide?

Looks interesting but $120 to back is the only option.

 

[Psymonkee]

Looks alright but feels like another Zombicide reskin. Nothing wrong with that but once you've played one they all feel a bit samey.

If you are interested I'd simply wait for it to hit retail at this point as the kickstarter ended a while back.

 

[No1newts]

Yeah you can do a late backing but I'm tempted to wait retail now.

It does sound similar but there sounds some new mechanics, kind of hoping its unique enough to stand out as a dungeon crawler without DM is really tempting.

That Thornwatch looks kind of cool too (plus I love Tycho and Gabe) but none of the descriptions give too much away about gameplay (unless I've missed it) and cautious on backing until I know more.

Anyone seen/backed Massive Darkness by Coolminiornot who made Zombicide?

Yes. We play a lot of Zombicide and Descent so this is a mixture of the 2 from what I can gather (missus backed it with all the extras).
Looks to be out around March/April.

 

[UTTER_FILTH]

Anyone seen/backed Massive Darkness by Coolminiornot who made Zombicide?

Looks interesting but $120 to back is the only option.

Yep, I backed it. I bought 1 game and lots of extras for myself and another $120 pledge to sell on to soften the hit.

I have zombicide black plague which is also made by CMON and love that. It's good fun with some mates and a few drinks. So I'm sure this game, while not as in depth as other dungeon crawlers, will still be a fun pick up and play game.
