The new Graphic Novel Adventures campaign is for the children's series of books including, as you mentioned, The Crusoe Crew and The Baker Street Irregulars. There have been 3 series/seasons (so far) of graphic novel adventure books NOT specifically targeted toward children. (I hesitate to say they are for "adults" because of what could be read into that terminology.)
I guess I'll have to find the Turczí Voidfall promo tile on the secondary market at some point.
I’ll make this short and sweet. Gamefound app. When?
I have massively reduced my crowdfunding board game purchases due to much higher prices, not only for the game itself but for shipping. Can buy 4 games on Amazon for the price of one average crowdfunding game. Never used to be this way.
This isn’t really a back or not to back. It’s more about crowdfunding heads ups.
Life in the Amazonia?
Terraforming Mars dice price seems high when shipping is included. I’m interested when it hits retail.
You need to talk to whoever can fix the way to keep your place when you look at a game so it doesn’t put you back at the beginning of the game list so you have to swipe down to get back where you were it’s quite frustrating and turns me off from wanting to browse the list
Going for sundropped Kings of Ruin pledge plus a few extras. Glad the standees were included as I wasn't going to go for the monster minis this time.
Phew, nothing for me this time around. Wallet remains closed.
When you do a KS update when you do your “Back not to back” videos next week check on Redwood. They will be coming out with a new deluxe pledge where you get the $140 big box but without all the add ons for around $100 vs $140 I believe a lot of people requested that
Heroscape made the mistake of not making a smaller core box which can then be added to with expansions. People can swallow a 150 core box with a couple of 50 dollar expansions. But 250 up front with shipping is a huge ask. Also no painted figures? What were they thinking? Its also leaning heavily into its sci fi theme when most play it like a high fantasy game. Its like they looked at their extremely successful Hero Quest Campaign and did the complete opposite. It smells of large corporation typical blundering. "Hey we have a success. Ok lets re-invent it and see if we can make more." Instead of re-package at affordable price to take advantage of new efficient manufacturing tech and expand later. Its a shame that Heroscape will be killed because of a large cooperate blunder. I still have it in my cart but I'm having such a hard time pulling the trigger on it.
God I hope heroscape is able to come back
So since TM Ares Expedition was basically Race for the Galaxy, it's safe to guess that TM the dice game is Roll for the Galaxy?
Only 2 on my list this week. After watching the Patreon-exclusive Unfair & Unbalanced, I think I’m going to be able to wait for retail on one and get the smaller pledge level on the other. Thanks for saving me money, Alex!
Quite an interesting episode — October is turning out to be "too interesting" in terms of choices as to what to back 😉; thank you. One of the current Kickstarter campaigns that I was hoping you would cover is “Materia Prima – The Inquisition.” I love the art and theme (alchemists) and the gameplay looks interesting for the people that I game with.
Button Shy are sneaky monkeys. I've missed a number of their Kickstarters over time, or just not been interested in the specific game that they are funding that round. but in the last two campaigns they've run, they got me for a combined total of $100. which is pretty impressive for a $12 game.
I can't back anything because I know oathsworn elden ring and cthulhu death may die are coming out
Temple of Horrors…. I'm In!
I did a $1 pledge for Kings of Ruin (loving the introduction of standees, too) but yes, there is SOOOO much content for this game.
17:40 The neoprene mats for TM: The Dice Game are for people who wish to use the 3D tiles from the original Terraforming Mars. The tiles that come with the dice game are 9mm smaller.
As of 10/12 they added a standard sized mat. Price is the same for either: $25.
Thanks for the mention of my campaign! I'm counting the days till the arrival of my kid, so any help in getting it funded is much appreciated.
It's 7 new promos, but 8 promos total, because the Trickerion promo is a reprint of the long out of print Secret Workshop.
And yeah, the funding goal is high, but because it's a real goal… If I get even 101%, I'm sorted, but with anything less the printing becomes not very economical.
No crowdfunding project run in USD will atm hold its value if backed from a non-USD country due to the conversion rates lately being through the roof compared to 2-3 months ago. No point in backing any campaign run in USD if you have to pay an extra 50% due to that and then VAT on top of that. It's just crazy expensive.
Hope things go back to normal when it is time for late pledges.
Ty for the humour 🤣
Couldn't be happier that heroscape is failing. So fuckin sick of these bullshit prices. People not backing them is the only way they'll stop trying to get away with it
I heard you dont like mansions of madness. I am curious why and tried finding a video you talking about it with no luck?
A little confused on the not funding section. 911 operator hasnt canceled and will fund. Nevermind it has 26 days left. Can you give us a better understanding of what that section is for?
back back back back back
Hasbro Pulse is not a platform I have looked at before today…
He's back…
In the case of Leaf you missed the part where stretch goals won't be included in retail versions of the game while they are free for both Standard and Deluxe pledges, meaning this might still make the Standard edition worth backing.
Really missing your comment on whether should we back the game or not
Interesting… no Rise & Fall… Bad Game?
HEROSCAPE!! not a reprint btw, all new stuff here (besides the buildable terrain)
A Marry Poppins themed restaurant sounds fun!
Are you sure that Tainted Grail: Kings of Ruin? there will be tons of copy around…
Why are you afraid of screwdrivers?
What about civitas 2233 on kickstarter?
