@Kaleb,

I don’t believe Scoville is offering any Kickstarter exclusives either… I believe Seth or Michael of TMG stated they’re moving away from any exclusives that effect gameplay.

Personally, I love this trend to move away from Kickstarter-exclusive game content. While not being able to attain the exclusives offered for King of Tokyo hasn’t dampened my enjoyment of that game (there are still a handful of different characters available retail, and the promo characters didn’t have Power Up cards, which is the only thing that makes the monsters different), the unattainable Zombicide exclusives have basically ruined that game for me.

If a Kickstarter campaign does have exclusives, I’d prefer it to be box insignias, t-shirts or other non-game affecting items.

Fantastiqa ruksack version should be dropping today/tomorrow on KS, keep your eyes out for it. I’m backing tortuga at a early bird level, which i am 95% i will be switching to Fief.

Wow! It’s been quite a while since I saw this many promising games on Kickstarter. Village and Eons looks really fun and I’d like to support them. But Draco Magi is certain to get my support!
Of the rest Fief, Zeppelin Attack and Scoville also looks like good games, but I’ll wait for those to be released first.
Hmmm – this doesn’t look good for my wallet….

Edit: Draco Magi pledged:)

I did Fief, Werewolfe (love the alternate art & custom pics), Scoville, Tiny Epic Kingdoms, and will probably get Zombie 15′. I still have issues with the games that will see FLGS distribution, yet aren’t offering KS exclusives (Queen & Game Salute games above). I love Fresco, but there’s no incentive. Still, this is a lot more $ than I was expecting. I’m getting less and less card games for Spielbound’s game library – too hard to replace if one card is destroyed. Still, excited about several of these! (my favorite KS games so far aren’t on this site – Viticulture & Euphoria)

There was bad information put out by reputable sources regarding the Shadowrift expansion. It was being said that the expansion made the game all against one but that is NOT true…and I am very excited that Shadowrift will continue being a pure co-op. Consequently, this expansion becomes an auto-buy for me.

I hadn’t heard of Draco Magi but having now watched the videos on the kickstarter site I probably will bite. Great price point for entry!

And, of course, you just have to support Tom!

I’m in for Scoville, that one looks like a ton of fun. I highly recommend City of Iron. Obviously I haven’t played the expansion yet, but the base game is awesome. Kinda interested in the dragons and zepplins games.. not sure if I want yet another direct combat game, I have so many already.

EONS is a fun and interesting resource management game, using a mechanic of solar fusion to convert resources from a limited pool. I got in on the original KS, and looking forward to the expansion. The original is available along with the expansion in the current campaign.

I finally dropped out of Zombie 15′ and re-appropriated the funds to Tortuga and Scoville (not listed here – a new farming Euro by Tasty Minstrel Games). I was early-bird on all of them, so it was only a $9 difference. I’m in until the end on these two as well as Tiny Epic Kingdoms.

I second Billie Wrex. Draco Magi also looks good, mainly because it has very nice artwork, was co-designed by Richard Launius, and is very inexpensive. I’m leaning towards backing this one as well.
