Exploding Kittens - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/elanlee/exploding-kittens

$35+$20 postage? Over priced.

But I bought in.

Just jumped in on a share of a 12 pack of:

Pocket Imperium looks like fun https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ludicreations/pocket-imperium

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/coe/tiny-epic-galaxies-the-universe-in-your-pocket

Have the first one, Tiny Epic Kingdoms and it is great fun, really simple and easy with surprising depth. Waiting for the second one to arrive (Tiny Epic Defenders) which also looks great. This third one is getting great reviews from the PnP already, probably being rated the highest out of the 3 so far too.

A guy in the gaming group is totally over miniatures Kickstarters - too many don't work out and the Judge Dredd one is taking forever to complete.

My Robotech one is well late, as is War & Empire, but Robotech is the only one that has been particularly problematic, all the others I've backed have been fine. Wave 2 of Dreadball Xtreme just arrived today actually.

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

This looks pretty good - has some glowing reviews.

50/50 to get backed at this stage, I'm in for a 4x with mates

Deadzone Infestation is an expansion to Deadzone that ends in a couple days. It's adding a new faction, plus loads of new minis for the existing factions, many in hard plastic, and a clean up of the rules and rewrite of the campaign.

It's also got great bundle deals for the new hard plastics they've funded for those who want Warpath or counts-as 40k armies - Enforcer Pathfinders, Veermyn space rats and Forge Father Steel Warriors.

You can pledge a buck to get into the project and spend at your leisure in the pledge manager later on.

Want this: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1459655047/salvation-road?ref=category_recommended



Cool little mechanic is players have slots that can hold either wounds or resources. As you degrade you carry less stuff, it seems.

A few bits look similar to Dead of Winter.

Nice. I recently supported - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/loneshark/the-apocrypha-adventure-card-game

It's closed though.

Reaper Bones 3 is up and racing, check out Bones 2 to get an idea of what this one will finish up like - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1513061270/reaper-miniatures-bones-3-the-search-for-mr-bones

The Thin Blue Line is an RPG by some guys on another forum - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1231173913/the-thin-blue-line-a-detroit-police-story

This looks complicated - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/highfrontier/high-frontier-0

Good Games, the Aus retail chain, is publishing a game for the first time, project ends soon - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1960349413/monstrous-the-game-of-mythic-mayhem

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

Bones 3 already killing it. How many bog average sculpted generic fantasy shits do people need?

 

[NTRabbit]

Many upon many, it seems

 

[jazzee]

Actually the minis aren't too bad and paint well. Pretty robust. They are fun to have and learn to paint on.

Disappointed I missed Fallen: http://www.watchtowergames.com/
The Kickstarter added a lot more content than the final game.
Just pledged 15 euro for the full game of Shuffle Hero:
https://www.kickstarter.com/project...eroes/posts/1308249?ref=backer_project_update
Looks like a really interesting dark fantasy lite deck building game.
For the price I thought it'd be worth a try.

 

[Chief]

This one looks really interesting.

http://makezine.com/2015/08/03/boardcraft-promises-a-new-way-of-playingcreating-tabletop-games/

I predicted 3D printing would eventually become a distribution method for game pieces and miniatures.

That's right, ME!

 

[NTRabbit]

Mantic's Warpath is up, it's a straight up sci fi wargame in the "hope one day to compete with Warhammer 40k" mould, but it and Warlord's about to be released Gates of Antares are the first genuine competitors in the field for 15 years. Comes with a mass battle rule set, a platoon/company sized set called Firefight, and has full minis crossover with Deadzone (barring big vehicles, which won't be in Deadzone due to size)

This didn't make it, but they ended up selling it anyway. But only the printed sets, not the files to print your own. Which was the entire point, right??

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hawkwargames/dropfleet-commander

Dropfleet Commander, the spaceship game companion to the successful Dropzone Commander 10mm ground combat game, launched today and already into stretch goals. Rules have been done by Andy Chambers, one of the ex-GW luminaries who worked on 40k and Battlefleet Gothic, and more recently of Blizzard, where he was the lead writer for Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jameystegmaier/scythe

Scythe, the latest offering from Stonemaier, by all reports a good, if a little dry, game to match the stellar artwork, which you may have seen before - the artist has been putting them online as he painted them for the last year or so.

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

In for a copy of Scythe already.

Dropfleet looks great - except I hate the Scourge ship designs and the Shaltari don't look like they'll be much better.

Dungeon Saga stuff started coming in Thursday - just the expansion package arrived though

Nobody has seen PHR yet, you might like that better

Gah, nothing here yet

Gagging for Dungeon Saga to arrive!

 

[jazzee]

Scythe will be a pretty interesting game. Looking forward to it.
