Kick ALL the Starters Part II

[Mamorien]

I just got an email from Rooster Teeth -- RWBY: Combat Ready is getting ready to ship, and they wanted to make sure my address is up to date.

I can't wait.

Oh, and it got here two days ago.  Haven't played it yet, but I've unpacked it and it looks fantastic. If I remember to do so, I'll take some pics and post them here.

My copy got in yesterday, and I agree about "it look(ing) fantastic."

[Norgarth]

I've been notified that my copy is on it's way.

[Mamorien]

Also, on Monday, I got my hardcover copy of Fortitude: the Glass-Maker's Dragon, closing out the Chuubo's Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine RPG Kickstarter a mere 50 months late. Apparently, the diminutive deities got tired of screwing Jenna Katerin Moran (fka Rebecca Sean Borgstrom) around. Maybe, some time in the next four years, her imaginary phone will ring with the news that the world has come to its senses, or possibly taken leave of them, and that a delegation is on its way to anoint her the ruler of all things, complete with a retinue of double gnus.

Oh dear. Is the RWBY game going to be available in retail?

[Bob Schroeck]

You know, I haven't the faintest idea.

[Bob Schroeck]

It is.

My copy of Combat Ready arrived today 8)


And for those wondering about the mystery sub-boss from the kickstarter, the answer in in the spoiler.
They have already appeared in Volume 6, so it's only a spoiler if you haven't been watching,

Spoiler

It's Lil' Miss (Muffet), the crime boss from episode 2.

Further Edit:



And I'm still getting the hang of how to play the game.  Just last week I realized I'd been doing 2 things wrong.

[ECSNorway]

Fun. Gonna have to get me a copy. That, and the Big Trouble In Little China game.

OGRE Miniatures second edition rules arrived last night. Came complete with cardboard bits for the Vulcan, Fencer, Doppelsoldner, and a few other things.

[Bob Schroeck]

Grrr. Still haven't played it yet, despite presenting it to my in-laws for a gaming night (they chose Mysterium instead.

[LynnInDenver]

Our copy of Ogre Miniatures 2nd is slated to be on our doorstep on the 11th. *sigh*

Trying to decide if we want more Hero Realms or not. Complication: unlike Star Realms, we have sleeved it with official sleeves, so we'd be in another $16 to keep it going.

[ECSNorway]

I just sent in my survey for "The 55th Day in Shanghai", which is a project doing some 2mm laser-cut MDF buildings of asian style for 28mm miniatures play. Because I clearly don't have enough of those.

Jonathan Coulton is devoting a whole album to his guilty pleasure... 70s soft rock classics, covered recreated note-for-note.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/136...an-coulton

Available in digital, CD, and/or vinyl (for the real 70s feel)!

(Confession: the mere fact that "Baker Street" is on there has me seriously considering it.)

Bunch of DnD players trying to get their game into an animated special....

They just happen to be Voice Actors... 

And the Kickstarter came close to breaking records.

Anyway...

Critical Role Kickstarter

Its already at $4M AUD.... and rising in the first day. Something to keep an eye on.

[Bob Schroeck]

Whoa. Currently at $4,070,843 of a requested $750,000 -- and the pledge total kept going up while I was trying to copy it to clipboard.

[Shepherd]

I'm shocked that they've had four people pledge $10,000 and two pledge $20,000.

[Bob Schroeck]

Three hours later and it's just shy of $4.3 million -- and it's gaining hundreds and thousands every time I look.

Back in the 80s, the legendary Michael Stackpole built a more-or-less-contemporary pulp-adventure RPG off the Tunnels & Trolls ruleset: Mercenaries, Spies, & Private Eyes. When they hit a bad patch a few years later, Flying Buffalo Inc. sold off the rights to a company called Sleuth Publications, who left some things out of their edition and added others in.

Now Rick Loomis (probably some relation), FBI's highest of high sheriffs, has recovered the rights and is producing a third edition that combines everything from its predecessors, and will probably add more stuff as stretch goals are filled:

Gunsmith Cats explosive edition looks like it is on schedule post kickstarter

i'm happy

Whoa.  Currently at $4,070,843 of a requested $750,000 -- and the pledge total kept going up while I was trying to copy it to clipboard.

And Critical Role's "Vox Machina" seems to be leveling off at a bit short of $7 million.

It's official.  Because of how much money their Kickstarter has brought in, they're not just gonna do a single episode.  They are now aiming to do a full-blown season.

Well, the last time I checked they'd already passed stretch goals to triple the original length anyway (and that was around the $4mill mark).  It's not surprising. Still cool though.
