Lunarchitects is funded, awesome!
Did anybody try The Banner Saga? I played the video game version and enjoyed.
unfortunately, as Hai put it, I am on the “gotta catch em all” train with Arcadia quest with Akden. Loved the first set of games, and that along with Black Plague are the lighter side of dungeon crawling games i can play with the wife. I’ve been looking for a new unique pen and paper RPG to play with the fellas, and unfortunately Shinobigami doesn’t look like it will be it. Interesting premise though.
I hope that Lunarchitects be funded
Love Arcadia Quest! So, unfortunately, I’m in for a fairly sizable pledge (although I’m definitely not getting everything). I’ve got a ton of stuff in process (like The Others, and Conan, and Black Plague, and Defenders of the Last Stand, and…), but the kids don’t have to go to college, right?
I only pledged for Brilliants…the game looks amazing and it’s made by a french Canadian company. So it is also a patriotic pledge 🙂
Vive le Québec
@Artem Yes – in the Game of Kickstarter “Winter is Coming” holds very true and it usually is Black Christmas for games trying to fund/end campaigns during the holiday season where the majority is elsewhere on the Internet hunting deals. Kickstarter Grey usually ends mid-January.
Of course, that doesn’t stop Cool Mini Million from as @AD suggests one of their most nickle and dimey campaigns. (Although Black Plague was rife with Artists Packs.) While Arcadia Quest Mach I was one of their most generous giveaway campaigns it is interesting to watch them feed the ‘Gotta Catch Them All Beast’ when they aren’t trying to sabotage Super Dungeon Explore in tandem.
Of course, quite a few e-tailers had the post campaign figures on the cheap during Black Cyber so that’s done and as Arcadia Quest is The Boy’s ticket he can do as he pleases beyond the base.
My only ‘want’ is Perdition’s Mouth because I enjoy a good Dungeon Crawl as much as The Boy and I really like the flawed anti-hero aspect. Of course, welcome to Black Christmas and being up against a Cool Mini Million. They have also stepped on quite a few trap tiles and shot themselves in the foot along the way. Maybe next time — because it will be a shame if this just squeak funds so I prefer it to reboot.
BRILLANTS has so many colorful bits and minis.
Pretty sure Arcadia Quest: Inferno just set the record for most add-on $ in a Cool Mini campaign. If you want one of everything from this campaign as well as the 10 heroes released at retail between Kickstarters you’re adding over $300 to your base pledge. This pledge manager is going to suck…
I’m trying to not get as carried away with KS as I have in the past, and just have one live project backed at the moment, Nina and Pinta. The game looks interesting and from past experience I totally trust the creators (even though they suck at marketing). Very nearly funded now, with plenty of time to go.
Mind you, there’s a daft looking pirate game there… maybe I’ll have to back another… 🙂
Lunarchitects, Roll Player and Perdition”s Mouth have peak my interest
December is a mercifully quiet time on Kickstarter I find 🙂
I loved the Banner Saga video game but the price tag on that one is way out of my range.
Nothing here that peaks my interest. Will keep watching.
Nothing on this list that peaks my interest.. at least for now. But you never know.. something will come along that I must have. 🙂
Has there been a good Princess Bride game? Will this one be any good?
Lunarchitecs has all my attention
