It's pretty interesting that there are lots of comments all but demanding a solo mode.
I've always appreciated that feature. But to insist that it is integral to RPG design as a best practice or standard is a bit much?
From a business standpoint, it makes a lot of sense for cooperative board games. I can see more people backing a campaign or buying a game if it has that feature (not always easy to get a group together to play).
For RPGs, I suppose the same argument could be made. So, tacking on a solo mode, or solo campaigns, seems like a great idea!
But I don't quite understand some of the arguments that it should ALWAYS be a thing. Good idea, yes. Mandatory? huh?

Sometimes Kickstarter is an effective pre-order system, that may be the case here. Stretch goals might have been assumed would be hit, but were added to create backer excitement.Blade Runner is about to finish blowing through all the initial stretch goals. I'm sure this was never considered in doubt as all the promotional images in the campaign are set up to assume all the stretch goals would be met. Although it does make me think of my tired old complaint that something like this never should have been a Kickstarter to begin with as it was already well known it would not only fund in seconds but also meet all the extended goals in short order. But I'm tired of yelling at the clouds. I guess this is just the new model and it has to be accepted.
Absolutely. Kickstarter is totally a pre-order store now (even though the official word is that it is NOT). But everyone knows that it is.Sometimes Kickstarter is an effective pre-order system, that may be the case here.

It really depends. For the larger ones, yeah, that's right, but for the smaller ones, the only thing you're preordering in a lot of cases is a dream.Absolutely. Kickstarter is totally a pre-order store now (even though the official word is that it is NOT). But everyone knows that it is.
Very true and I often forget this.It really depends. For the larger ones, yeah, that's right, but for the smaller ones, the only thing you're preordering in a lot of cases is a dream.
That's always on my mind. Here in Canada, where I live, it is a gamble. I could wait and hope for a cheaper price, but sometimes it just doesn't work out.I'm actually considering my pledge at the moment. On a whim I just looked for the Alien RPG here in the UK and I can get it for about £28 including postage, BR is currently running on the KS at £41 plus £10 to £12 postage.
As I'm currently only pledged at the lowest physical level (to get the basic rulebook), it may pay me to just wait and get it post KS for potentially a lot less.
Yup, that's pricey. That said, the mini's look awesome. I guess for me it would depend on how badly the game needs those expansions to retain replayability, although I'll admit to having spend something like 200 or 300 on Descent all told without thinking to hard. $200 seems like an easy sell to me, but $400 is almost real money.On that note, does this seem like a good deal to any of you? Am I making a mistake backing this? I love cooperative campaign games:

Go all in, then snag a standard copy, plus GM Screen and a couple extra sets of dice. It's what I did. Heh.Going to back this one even if the odds of it getting played are slim. Free League is making it a little easier as like LotR I am once again finding the basic edition cover more interesting / attractive than the deluxe.

Mmmm, my precious. My deluxe One Ring pledge came today. I'm so very glad I went with the embossed foil rulebook. Assuming they aren't all like that, anyway, the point is that it's dead sexy.
In a strange turn for me, I only backed at the $1 level. My wallet likes the fact that my obsession with Kickstarter seems to be waning.Going to back this one even if the odds of it getting played are slim.

Been looking at this lately, I do love me some sci-fi; even better when it's retro focused. I'll probably toss a few bucks at it, see if it's worthwhile. Anyone familiar with Planet X Games?
I preferred The One Ring limited cover. I think it looks better in real life than in pictures, but I went with the standard cover on Blade Runner. The kanji character doesn't have any real association for me.Going to back this one even if the odds of it getting played are slim.

Has anyone here read the comic? The concept, as a game, sounds interesting:
