Like the short intro! Didn't interrupt the flow of your video that was really cool.
I actually Dropped my Encyclopedia pledge, sometimes I get caught in the hype, and then a couple of days later I am like, why am I even backing this. I went through the Encyclopedia campaign, and while the game looks great. Doesn't look like it will fit my game group.
Was interested in Tamashii, but I don't like at all that they are still changing fundamental gameplay stuff at this stage, experimenting if some scenarios can be solo, competitive or coop. Didn't seem like a solid foundation. Also, didn't like the pretty uninspired character models.
Was hoping to see your updated thoughts on casting shadows. Did you go all in or were you able to resist.
I will definitely back Age of Rome. Looks unique and magnificent.
While I'm not backing anything right now, I do think there are two factors that made it somewhat predictable that Feralis would do better than other head-to-head games: (1) It has a solo play version and (2) the art. That combination tends to be a winner for head-to-head games.
Great video, like normal Alex. I backed both Darkest Doom & Nightmare Cathedral.
I use the button shy bag. It holds a ton of games and I can keep it in my car to play at lunch.
For button shy:
Take any small expention box that you are going to throw away put the button shy games in it.
If you fill like it print some nice thing that you stick to the box
Not sure if there is anything I’ll back out of this set nightmare cathedral is prob the most likely or maybe mercurial
Choosy Alex's choose GIF.
Thinking about backing Nightmare Cathedral. What are your thoughts on its replayability? 🤔
I appreciate the dad joke stingers.
Does that mean that you can't say that you don't say "y'all" anymore ;)? Cheers!
Oh you got a new intro! Nice 🙂
🐐🥁👍
If you're interested in checking out the Dead by Daylight board game, please watch the Penny Arcade playthrough and not the Quackalope one. Quackalope gets a bunch of rules wrong and isn't an accurate reflection of how the game actually plays.
Alex, is it possible to just pay $100 for one month and play one game with you?
Am very interested in Darkest doom, but now legacy of thracks has dropped and they seam similar, what does everyone think about the 2?
I look forward to the what you backed video that has Nightmare Cathedral, because I am very curious as to what Rina thinks of the figures and art.
While I'm okay with it, I think it would be a complete turn off to many of better taste.
Thank you so much for the correction regarding the prices for Mercurial, Alex! It didn't need to be done but you did it anyways, and I really appreciate that.
Hopefully Unition will be on the next to back or not to back episode!

For button shy games you could try making tuck boxes for them you can print a template online or order plastic ones as well
I had held off on Feralis until the solo mode unlocked. Then they ask for a higher pledge or sell it as an add-on. Feels like a silly thing to do, make it baseline. It immediately appeals to a larger crowd with extra modes baked in.
Alex, you need to start a podcast.
No one else speaks as honestly, humbly, and with the depth and insights you have.
Talking with the wifey now to see what we can do for your Patreon page, now that you are doing this full time.
Rest when you can, and I pray you find a good balance between your new job/love/hobby, and your family.
