Another Troika based kickstarter. This one is tailored to solo or duet play and is inspired by the arcade game Joust.
The simplicity of those old games really encouraged me to come up with elaborate backstories about those blocky pixels.Is it weird that as a child I often tried to imagine what the implied world of Joust was like for D&D? I have to check this out!
Freeleague is going to be kickstarting a 40th aniversary edition of Drakar och Demoner (Dragonbane).
Nope, never played it. But it came out in '82, so I can probably make some very educated guess even without looking at a review. Now I'm curious though...Do you have any knowledge of what the game is about?
Looks fun. I got burned by The Melsonian Art Council when I KS one of their books but it never arrived and my query emails have been ignored so I won't be backing them again but I still like Troika!
My last day for pledges, if anyone can help with donations big or small!
This isn't rpg related per se but I know we have some blaxploitation film fans here and the folks at Deaf Crocodile Films have displayed impeccable taste with their bluray releases so far.

This pic alone made me pledge instantly.

Pledged! I always set projects I want to support to remind me because I'm lazy like that but I'm glad to see you made the goal Yeti Spaghetti!
Hooray! Congratulations. I look forward to seeing the finished product and getting my sweet PDF.
Bit of a change-up. Here's a novel that sounds cool written by a guy I've gamed with.
Not that I know of.That one is fairly interesting, and I like his approach. Does he plan to also release a setting?
Who is he waiting for, SJG?Not that I know of.
What exactly are your options? Do you mean ask and hopefully receive a refund? How bad do you need/want the money vs the game?So I need some advice.
I've backed a campaign from Mythic Games who are now courting lots of controversy in their Darkest Dungeon campaign right now.
Comments sections all over (Kickstarter, Discord and Boardgamegeek) have tons of people vocalizing their regret backing these campaigns, to the point that lots of people are worried that Mythic will even be able to fulfill their current one (Anastyr, the one I've backed).
Backing a Kickstarter is always a risk, I get it. But I've dumped several hundreds of dollars into this Anastyr campaign. Would it be wise for me to jump ship?
There's no evidence that this company will fold or anything (even Darkest Dungeon, while late and riddled with trouble) IS made and WILL be shipped out within the next few months.
But still... While I still have a chance to, should I jump ship?
Ah people are asking for and getting refunds (with a deduction for bureaucracy, obviously).What exactly are your options? Do you mean ask and hopefully receive a refund? How bad do you need/want the money vs the game?
A lot of it in those cases depends on your allowance for risk. With Kickstarter projects, I usually look at them as sunk cost. If I do my due diligence and decide to back and the project funds, I'm on board (even you Far West). I never back what I cannot afford to lose. And I back as much for the journey as anything else. Thus, my calculus for risk is different than others.Ah people are asking for and getting refunds (with a deduction for bureaucracy, obviously).
I'm kind of getting doubtful from all the doom posting... But when I read the updates that are creating so much seething... I can't see what the big deal is beyond disappointment that there are so many delays (due to factory crap in China).
I don’t think this got posted already, but it uses the Shadow of the Demon Lord system:
Douglas Cole over at Gaming Ballistic just launched a Kickstarter for OSE solo and group play adventures that David Pulver designed. Good people both, and Douglas always runs a good Kickstarter. He communicates well and frequently and he ships a quality product. I've pretty much backed almost everything he's done. I'm interested to see how David's take on these adventures end up looking for OSE and for solo as well.

The artwork is GORGEOUS. But I don't need another RPG that I won't play (I've go so many Fantasy games and settings).
I'd back an artbook, though.
