[generic] What are you backing?

So the luxury DragonEye Dice Kickstarter ends later today and here I am justifying spending 50 quid on the Eye of Dayton set,.

Yes, excuses are plenty, but these are good ones, because this particular artisan design fits 5e Adventures in Middle-Earth and many other 5e fantasy games I have from Kickstarter, including Ruins of Synbaroum and Dante's Inferno.

I just downgraded some pledges for RPGs including Airbender, since I can get that cheap from some of the 70,000 backers, expecting at least 7,000 will sell off their copies out of frustration that game does not play like a boardgame or some such excuse..

I dropped out at the last minute because Spidermind Games have yet to delivery my Ice Dice Trays. May re-consider with PledgeManager later.
 
I was miserable.
I still am.
Humbug!
We're doing a stock check, as there are STILL people from the KS last year who have not claimed their physical rewards and we're reaching out to ask, "Will you ever?" We also have a few copies in the house that might not be accounted for in the inventory. At best, though, we're talking a number you can count on both hands. Maybe yet @Guvnor — maybe yet.

And looking at that, I give up any hope of Urban Shadows being delivered on time. That's the kind of funding and pressure that breaks small companies.

Interestingly they're responded to my question on Kickstarter. They have a separate design team for Avatar, and they've defined 'winter' (for the PDF release) as being December.
 
Well DPD have just been and dropped off my Sons of the Singularity package of Journal d'Indochine. A mere 8 and a bit months late. Covid has been the main culprit here and no blame attaches to the Sons for this one. Package contained two softback books, a screen and a couple of posters. No extra delivery or customs charges for which I'm grateful. Not yet had a chance to do anything but a quick flick through but it seems well illustrated and decently written. I'd compare the setting to the C7 WWC WW2 stuff in terms of material with the very different SE Asia of the 20s through the late Fifties (until the US takes over from the French).
 
Oh I so wanted to be good, but then a Mörk Borg solo KS launched curse them.. but £11 won't break the bank.

KINLESS is a solo Viking adventure compatible with the Mörk Borg RPG and inspired by the incredible music of Swedish melodic death metal band Amon Amarth. KINLESS is the story of a man forced to defend his family against a predatory ruler, only to be driven from his home, friends, and family... left to die alone in the cold night.

This excited me "You will confront the darkest, most dangerous creatures of Norse mythology: Níðhöggr (dragons), Draugr (undead), Jotnar (trolls), Jotun (frost giant), huge serpents, Vargr (wargs) and much more."

I'm backing the Delta Green: Conspiracies kickstarter at all in level (which is expensive, but now has 6 hardcover books and a tarot set and is likely to get a 7th in the next 11 days). Definitely worth a look at the level it's reached now. It's a reboot of the original 1990s material into the current system with upgraded art and layout. Currently, there's only one significant element that isn't included, but that's the next stretch goal.

The video trailer for the kickstarter is worth a look too, as it nails the feel: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/arcdream/delta-green-the-conspiracy/widget/video.html

$6k off the 7th book and 4 days left. They do have potentially one more, but I think that will be quite a stretch *and* unlikely to happen.

My copy also arrived yesterday. I'm afraid even before Covid I'd got used to kickstarter RPG projects being on average more than 6 months late (in my experience miniature figures projects have been better at keeping to schedule; don't get me started on board games which all seem to run 12 months or more late). It looks good though, and adds another setting to CoC adventures.

Delta Green wrote: “We have funded eight full-color, hardback books, eight paperback scenarios, the King in Yellow tarot deck first described in Countdown, and a trade paperback edition of the annotated King in Yellow (with the Yellow Sign itself in a clasp as our gift to you and those you love).

That's 2,422 pages of Delta Green resources and research. A $100 "everything digital" pledge would get $292 in PDFs. A $300 "everything digital and print" pledge would get $292 in PDFs plus $615 in physical rewards. If we hit that last, astonishing goal.”

They’ve blown through the $400k and have added one last goal at $420k:

The Whisper Labyrinth
At $420K, we unlock a codex of intertwined tales bearing whispers from the catacombs of Carcosa. These three stories — "Broadalbin, "Ambrose," and "Sosostris" — by John Scott Tynes were originally published in limited-edition chapbooks and only reprinted in a few obscure anthologies and zines of the weird fiction small press which are themselves out of print. We will finally unearth these three lost tales for the pallid light of day's end, reanimated with revised and updated texts.

This is the last one….
