Just backed Starscape but went softcover as the hardcover costs £24 more!
Temptation waits... what are you resisting?

Well, in the end I managed to resist both the Savage Rifts reprints and the Cosmere RPG. I’ll probably pick up the reprint Rifts box when it hits retail. I tried re-reading the Stormlight book I only have finished previously and it didn’t pull me in, so I took that as a sign not to back the RPG.
But wow - the Cosmere RPG is the third highest Kickstarter ever. Which gives Brandon the Gold and Bronze medals.

This is an interesting 'crossroad' temptation.

A 54 item huge bundle, including a clutch of PF2e core books, a full Aventure Path, with all the Foundry VTT modules. It will be very good indeed, with a scary halloween undead theme riven throughout. The Impossible Lands setting book is also supposed to be top notch.
Crossroads though. Do I want to take in a large glut of very good Pathfinder? Will I get much if any of it to the virtual table? Am I going back to Pathfinder? I think it might be a logjam moment, where adding to the stack is not what I want to do, regardless of the insanely cheap price and high quality. Perhaps the intimidating weight of unplayed shelves is holding me back, that and a lighter purchasing budget?
And, as the thread title dictates, temptation...

Yeah, it looks a really good fit for you. Perhaps the question should be if it gives you joy and you’ll likely read it. If not, then avoid.
I didn’t back the Troubleshooters adventures because I figured that (1) they’d funded and (2) I’ve not yet properly read or run the game. I can always get them when they’re out.
Having more challenge with the Old Gods one. I really like what I’ve read and it is usually a lot cheaper to back the MCG stuff direct (and you get the PDFs at no extra cost), but uncertain whether I will get it to table. Part of the reason I’m playing @paulbaldowski ’s game at Furnace.

The Troubleshooters or Old Gods of Appalachia?
The Troubleshooters just kickstartered two new adventure books. The core rules remain the same.
You had me at the Foundry VTT modules... but as a player.. so it doesn't help you at all. It's not like there aren't a milliard games you and I would play together if there were enough hours in the day and days in the week!
However, I have to say I think I have preferred PF2e over all 4e games we have played.
On the other hand, do you want to play Strahd?
With Historica Arcanum: Echoes of Renaissance, you will journey through the occult history of the Serene Republic of Venice!
Uncover the arcane secrets of The Grand Carnival, clash or ally with legendary figures like Leonardo da Vinci and Barbarossa the Legendary Pirate Lord. Venture forth in a massive adventure module and unlock new gameplay overhauls for all your 5th Edition games.

2nd Ed 13th Age - read the free preview, looks like they have tweaked and fixed some bits and added some more. Still 100% compatible with 1st ed (so it says.)
Undecided at the moment (but I haven't run/ played 13th Age for quite a while.) Ben runs a Game every few months or so (which sounds utterly chaotic and great fun, but they don't want Daddo along tut-tutting at their drunken exploits.) I think last Game they set fire to Drakkenhall and then created a tidal wave to put it out; then asked the Three for a suitable payment for saving the city.

@First Age Should we just get the STLs and sweet talk friends with 3D printers?
