This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

RPG Kickstarters that rocked!!!

Not a tabletop RPG, but the Shadowrun Returns computer RPG delivered pretty much what I was expecting, an enjoyable framework with a decent starting adventure.

I've been pretty happy with the ACK Players Companion. Great book, so very glad I funded it.

ICONS: Great Power was a welcome addition to ICONS.

Monster Hunter International RPG. I spent a lot on this kickstart, more than I probably should have. But, I love my Unit Patches and Dice (I even got the ammo clip pouch dice bag!).

We'll see how awesome Robotech RPG Tactics, M&M 10th Anniversary, Tunnels & Trolls Delux, ACK Domains at War, and Mekton Zero are once I have them in hand.

The most I have ever spent on a Kickstarter was Robotech RPG Tactics... I've got 350+ minis coming my way when it launches...


I wish I'd known there was a Kickstart for a Hardback RQ6, and Space 1889 when I actually had the money. Really sad I missed out on both, moreso the latter since Space 1889 is one of my all time favorite RPGs and settings. Finally getting the Ubiquity edition from Germany is awesome! Just wish I could have funded it.

Quote from: JRT;690291You can easily see the most funded games from this link.

This includes computer and board games as well, but the list starts with the highest funded and then goes down--I think it lists the top 100 funded items.

Thanks for the link!

Tenra Bansho Zero and Golden Sky Stories, as mentioned above.

OVA could be going a bit faster or send updates more often but I love the way they organized the kickstarter and have high hopes for it.

The Hellas and Conspiracy X Kickstarters were good to me. As was Early Dark, Esteren, Fate of the Norns, Magicians, Spears of the dawn, openquest2 , barrowmaze2, starships and spacemen...

Crowdfunding has been a very exciting way to support the kinds of products I'm interested in and I'll certainly back more. I am interested to see when someone will come up with a good solution to the spiraling shipping costs problem.

Yeah, there are a few projects taking longer than they should, but I pledge to projects with the understanding that they'll realistically be later than planned.

I kind of cringe at the thought of what such a hugely successful kickstarter is going to do to Kevin Siemieda's mind.

Maybe he can finally buy a computer to do layout on?

No more worse than what the Ogre kickstarter did for Steve Jacksons already morbidly gross obese ego...

Oh great.  I can't wash THAT one out of my mind.  

I guess this'll have to do instead:

Warbirds delivered on time and with competently executed chrome.

Neither RQ6 nor Lords of Gossamer and Shadow have shipped yet, but they're on track and the communication from the developers has been exemplary.  At this point, if they're delayed it will clearly be due to exigent circumstances.
D&D is becoming Self-Referential.  It is no longer Setting Referential, where it takes references outside of itself. It is becoming like Ouroboros in its self-gleaning for tropes, no longer attached, let alone needing outside context.
