So APPARENTLY. I did not put in 70 for TBZ. I have rectified this situation. e: Andy and Ewen, get at me, since I wanted to see if you guys were game for getting grilled for a SA tradgames Q&A.

I spend the first 10 minutes talking about "ZOMBIE rear end", the new movie by the director of Robo-Geisha. http://yellow-menace.com/2012/09/yellow-menace-gamecast-15-tenra-bansho-zero-with-andy-kitkowski/ And indeed you can stat a robo-geisha. I am not even kidding. It's called a "Kijin", and you can go right down to the butt-katanas ("Grudge Blades", although you just have to rewrite "arms" to "butt").

DiamondSutra posted:Looks like you found the other YS right down the road. Next time you head to Kobe, there's one there too. Really? Sweet. Maybe they'll have the rest of the Meikyuu cards, or even better, the color ones. Today I bought what I think is an older edition, since it's the black and white ones from the book in card stock, with backs on them. And they were out of the monster set, so I have everything except those. More exciting though, I grabbed Meikyuu Days, which looks to be the modern high school setting. It looks endlessly amusing.

Dammit, it seems my card isn't getting through (I'm using a debit card). Can I still get the $30 tier pledge somehow? I can pay, I checked. EDIT: Never mind; apparently 'using a different card' (and by that, I mean reentering my car details as a different card  ) seems to have worked.

I had a similar problem, where one of my credit cards had expired, so I removed it from Amazon and replaced it with the new card. "Transaction declined" with the credit card info... Of the old card, that wasn't even on the list of cards on the account. I blame Amazon being silly.

I got hit with the payment hiccup too, but I also had to cancel and reissue my credit card in the interim. Anyone know how long you've got to change your payment information before you're shut out of the pledge? E: For anyone else with similar problems, word on the internet is that you've got about a week to fix your order. grassy gnoll fucked around with this message at 05:43 on Sep 17, 2012 |

Unfortunately I am an idiot and should have said the Goon Meets thread. PS: All you hip east bay people have EndGame Oakland, which could pretty much only be a better game store if it was also a bar (instead it is across the street from several).

Hey Ewen when can we expect that GSS kickstarter now that TB0 was ridiculously successful? It's pretty much a shoe in for my weekly game because the themes involved sound perfect for the kind of one shot storygames I like to run these days.

If some kind of Bay Area TG goon meetup thing happens I can run a demo game of GSS. On the one hand as written the game caps out at 4 players, but on the other hand unlike Maid RPG I don't have to go lie down after. I'll bring Channel A (the card game I've been working on) too.Kwyndig posted:Hey Ewen when can we expect that GSS kickstarter now that TB0 was ridiculously successful?
