Potsticker posted:Wow, there's definitely a pledge spike. Even if there's no more stretch goals or anything. It's not just a spike in money, but a spike in backers too. Maybe I didn't take enough Econ courses in school, but I figured it would have a much smoother tail end compared to other Kickstarters I've watched where there's some big news or stretch goal added or whatnot.

I'd also be expecting an up-swing on the last day as some people receive a "24 hours to go on this Kickstarter!" email if they clicked the widget on the page. That graph

I'm in for the PDF of Tenra, but what I'd really love to get is Meikyuu Kingdom and Alshard. I'll admit to being surprised Tenra got chosen over Alshard FF, which I thought would have a better chance of getting made.

Random issues with Kickstarter resulted in my pledge getting canceled, so clearly the logical response was to re-pledge at twice the original amount  Plus I really like those kanji dice...Also jumping on the Meikyuu Kingdom bandwagon; TBZ looks pretty sweet but the charm of Meikyuu has me enamored.

Album form since I'm not going to list all the pictures inline.

They're neat though.  There are some color pages at the beginning of each book. They contain a summary of Meikyuu Kingdom, what's in the book as well as a few comics about what it's like to play the game.  This is one of the character classes, the Servant. They're neat! Lower stats, but support skills and they get an extra Job.  Speaking of Jobs, these are some of the basic Jobs. Fan favorite Happymancer included.  The Meikyuu book has some advanced Jobs.  A lot of the stuff in Meikyuu Kingdom is either presented in card or chart form. (So many cards, so many charts.) These are some of the Skills that I'm hypothetically translating in the free time I don't have.

The skill cards are slick, and they're one of the reasons I use cards like I do in Last Stand. All of the skills, monsters, facilities, traps, items, magic items, dungeon rooms, everything, they come in this card format. The card tells you what kind of card it is, the action type, what kind of check to make, targets, etc along with what the skill does. With Assault Force, you send your loyal subjects to fight to the death with an enemy. Translation might need a bit of work, I'm not nearly as good with Japanese as I used to be but this is roughly what the card says except for the flavor text: ASSAULT FORCE General Skill Type: Support Target: Single Check: Wit / Target’s Evasion This skill can be used in combat. When you use this skill, select one character in an adjacent region. That character takes [your Staff/5]d6 damage. You then lose d6 [Staff]. Yes. In Meikyuu Kingdom you can bring your loyal subjects along with you in dungeon crawls and use them to fight enemies/set off traps/explore rooms/meet an untimely end

You have to be careful though, the level of your Kingdom is directly related to the size of your population. Spend too much time sending your Staff to their deaths means you'll own the dungeon part but suck at the kingdom part.

Does anybody here happen to know of any game stores in the Osaka/Kansai area? I found the Yellow Submarine in Namba, but it's just card games...I would love to get some Meikyuu setting books if I can manage it. Also, I'm taking Meikyuu into my own hands and am going to try to translate it myself. Not being in school, along with people who want to see it done will hopefully keep me going with it.

I'd probably feel a lot better sending redshirts to their doom in Meikyuu if I think of them as fairies too.

There's map sheets, kingdom and character sheets, and some random encounter sheets that have some examples of monsters. They also have some example scenarios.

I love that Japanese RPG designers didn't get the memo about how you're never supposed to ask players to multiply or divide. I really hope to one day see Frank Trollman's assessment of this fact.

Just tried to back Tenra Bansho Zero, but the Amazon payment system isn't validating! It just goes to a blank page or an error page, randomly. Sent in a request with Kickstarter support. I hope they get to it soon, there's only 42 hours left in the campaign
