Those who backed Golden Sky Stories might want to check their emails, they're giving out coupon codes to download the final game for free from Drivethrurpg.com. Edit: I guess while we're on the subject, since this game is probably going to be played most online, have this form fillable character sheet. Here Edit Edit: Also check Kickstarter for a link to a revised copy of the backer only material. Covok fucked around with this message at 16:07 on Sep 7, 2013 |

So, we're a week off from launching the Accursed kickstarter and we've been teasing some of our artwork on our facebook page. These are the character pieces done by Alberto Bontempi. The Revenant. Living dead on a mission, driven by a desire for revenge or the need to finish a job left undone.  The Vargr. Half man, half wolf, driven by an insatiable hunger.

Well, crap. Didn't want to get into a new RPG, but that artwork looks really cool. It's hard for me to say no to a horror theme. Looking forward for this to come out. Can you give us a preview of pledge levels? Got Zombicide Season 2 in the mail a couple of days ago, without ever getting a tracking notice. Novel experience, that. I really like the look of it. Got one game in, and between the new skills, the starting characters, and the variety of switches, doors, barbed wire, observation towers, and the like, it seems worlds more interesting than the first season (which was still good beer and pretzels fun). Lots of interesting puzzles and tactical possibilities. The sculpts are tons better than the old ones, as well. My one conundrum is what to do with the "bonus" survivors. They look cool, but I know that selling them on eBay in 4 or 5 months could pay for the whole game. I'm thinking about downloading character cards and picking up the Wargames Factory apocalypse survivors to add some variety back into the survivors.

There's still a week to go, so everything is subject to change, but you get the idea.

And as for the survivors going for big bucks on Ebay, I think you won't see the Season One prices this time around. A lot more people who spent a hell of a lot more money participated in the KS, so you're going to be having people 1) who got their own models; and 2) bought extras to sell in the hopes of making big bank. berzerkmonkey fucked around with this message at 02:21 on Sep 8, 2013 |

What's the policy on suggesting group buys around here for kickstarter stuff? I would like to save on these Basius pads and they sell 2 for 60 pounds but 10 for 200, which is just a ridiculous difference. I want 2 or 3, and if I could get some other people to go in with me I would get 10 and ship them out to people in the US. Cause the markup for shipping to the US is a bit nuts. edit: posted in the general painting/modelling thread with winson's approval signalnoise fucked around with this message at 04:06 on Sep 8, 2013 |

You could just bump up to the 4 pad level - you're only saving $4 per pad by going to the 10 pad level, and anyone you share the deal with is going to have to pay at least $5 shipping, so unfortunately, they won't be saving a whole lot.

Going from 2 pads to 10 pads saves 10 pounds per pad which is like 15 dollars per pad man. Anyways I got permission to advertise this a little bit from Winson, so please, if you are interested in this kickstarter and want to split a 10-pack bringing the cost down to 20 pounds per pad + shipping from Atlanta, give me a PM and I can get it sorted out.

But I was talking about the price difference between 4 and 10 pads, not 2 and 10 pads (because you mentioned wanting 2 or 3.) VV I was just saying that you might as well go for four of them if you wanted three. berzerkmonkey fucked around with this message at 19:55 on Sep 8, 2013 |

I work in a game store and I'm constantly ordering the "Companion" books, and the Supers one seems to be out with all my distributors so I think that enough people have it that it shouldn't affect you too badly.

True enough. They're small and cheap enough that people either have them or can get them with not too much trouble. In other news, new teaser picture dropped. Today, it's MUMMIES!

Stab City! is a poker card based tactical skirmish story games about weird assassins and weirder targets. It is kind of like that movie The Expendables, except starring Travis Touchdown, Snake Eyes, Bayonetta and Inspector Gadget (all of his gadgets kill people in version, though) and also you are fighting cyborg Kim Jung Un. Rules preview on the Kickstarter. Oh hey look tactical combat  You can be this guy and punch a man in half  We're already at 75% by day 3, and at this rate we're likely to fund soon and start unlocking stretch goals like an Old School Hack hack with ENnie award winner Kirin Robinson. Anyway, I can answer questions or whatever, let me know!

Pretty nice, sturdy cover, seems like a robust binding. Paper's nothing special, maybe a little lightweight. No idea how it'll hold up since I just got it yesterday.

I have finally felt the pain of international kickstarter backers. Signalnoise, if you wish keep me on some sort of standby list and I will fill a gap for a mold or two if you need one. I am trying not to spend money on that kickstarter but if the excuse is great enough I will submit.

 With the kickstarter over, I've begun working on getting illustrations done for the cards. Here is a sample of the Cosmic suit. This is the Star Graveyard. All the cosmic cards will have a bit of a spacey sci fi feel to them while keeping the the fantasy.

People should back Grim World! The materials they've got already both for DW and FATE are really neat, and they've just announced some interesting stretch goals. In particular I really want to see what that new class looks like and what sort of twisted thing comes out of that experimental hack.
