Yeah. Even I only have a pipeline of 15 Kickstartered games right now (and 9 of those are all one Kickstarter)!

**Admin** Thu 23 Feb 2017, 15:49

I'm waiting on:

7th Continent
Catacombs & Castles
Tiny Epic Quest
Package
Tao Long
Tortuga
(and shortly Quodd Heroes)

Sannah is currently being tempted by Shakespear Munchkin while I'm resisting the urge to back the Champions of Midgard expansions...

I have backed them

Anachrony arrived in the country weeks ago. Weeks! And they still haven't been posted out yet.

Just had my shipping notification! It's coming, it's coming!

Yep. Me too! Exciting.

It's here - holy cow, there's a lot of game in that box. Gonna have to take a day off just to unpack it!

Meurig Fri 03 Mar 2017, 10:14

Mine's out for delivery too. Going to have fun punching it tomorrow, and hoping to play it Tuesday.

So, Rising Sun anyone?

$100 plus shipping is just too expensive given the current exchange rate. I'll gladly play your copy though! Smile

AndyH Wed 08 Mar 2017, 14:26

Very kind of you to offer Paul Smile

- I'm still mulling it over though to be honest.

It's shipping from the UK, so it sounds like that will only be around $15, but even then that's approaching £100 in total, which is indeed is a fair chunk.

As much as anything its interesting for the "$1.2 million pledged in one day" factor.

AntW Wed 08 Mar 2017, 15:40

Its a beautiful game for sure, but I've banned myself from any more mini based games!

I backed my first campaign the other day, for Baseball Highlights 2045: Spring Break. Although I haven't backed the main game (which is an abridged 2-player version of the original) they had a pledge for a whole load of promos too.

Slippery slope...

Saw it and thought of you but resisted dragging you into the evil clutches of Kickstarter... alas, to no avail.

whoops

**karl_b** Tue 11 Apr 2017, 18:39

Yeah it was actually Arun that prompted me. I have actually been signed up to Kickstarter for years, I've just never backed anything.

William_ Thu 13 Apr 2017, 06:26

It's not a boardgame but I thought some of you might like this: For for $1AUD you get at least 3 original comics (and two of them straight away) (by pdf download)

Did anyone back / play Dark Souls or Gloomhaven?

I have Gloomhaven, and got a mate that has ordered Dark Souls, why do you ask?

**Lizzy** Mon 24 Apr 2017, 18:06

Have you played Gloomhaven yet? Just watching reviews of them today and wondered what people thought. Gloomhaven looks awesome, not sure on Dark Souls though. Sounds like it might get a bit dull

PaulC Mon 24 Apr 2017, 18:06

Lizzy wrote:Did anyone back / play Dark Souls or Gloomhaven?

I backed the reprint of Gloomhaven but have since cancelled my pledge. Nothing against the game, I'm just concerned that I wouldn't play it enough to get my money's worth out of it... Oh, and I wanted to back Brass and couldn't justify the expense Smile

**Lizzy** Mon 24 Apr 2017, 18:13

If I said i'd play it with you would you uncancel your pledge? I'd even chip in...

AntW Mon 24 Apr 2017, 18:24

Well, I haven't started it yet. I was going to ask on here if people would be interested in starting a campaign at some point in the near future (I know Arun is interested) Smile

I've not mentioned it yet down to the logistics, as it weighs near 10kg and the box is currently rather large (and flimsy!)... It would be tricky for me to bring down to Uni Arms, on the bus! I'm probably going to try to make a new smaller box for it though, if I can. Might help.

I'm not against hosting it at mine, once a month or something. Smile

**Lizzy** Mon 24 Apr 2017, 18:28

Well I'm definitely interested! I'm also concerned what I would do with such a massive box on a tram, so if I don't have to buy it, awesome :-)

PaulC Mon 24 Apr 2017, 18:30

Argh.... But now you've got me thinking... Was I too hasty?
