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.

Quote from: Shawn Driscoll;574856I did like the D&D cartoon.  Still do.

Record of Lodoss was for an older audience than the D&D cartoon and IMO was a better show for it. It is also one of the better and most faithful adaptations of a D&D game to TV or movie that you can find.

...which is not a surprise as it was based on a "replay" ("actual play" transcript) of a D&D campaign (or a T&T game; the sources are a bit unclear on that).
Swords & Wizardry & Manga ... oh my.
(Beware. This is a Kickstarter link.)

Yep. On the matter of replays, I was happy to see that a replay was offered as the first stretch goal of TBZ. I have always wanted to one translated.

Well, there goes my roleplaying budget for the rest of the year. Sorry, Iron Kingdoms, maybe some other time.

About a $1,000 away from the printed copies of the DLC. I suspect the KS will slow down now until the last 5 to 10 days, unless new stretch goals add the awesome (hardcover seems to be the big one).

I am planning on watching 13 Assassins tonight to get me in the Samurai action mood :)

I'm in at $70, so... anything else is just a bonus. :)

Where did you get the shirts? It's not on the kickstarter page yet.

This thing is moving so fast :D

Its on the update page not the home page.

Andy has hit the word limit for the KS home page so he's reworking the working to fit it all on :)

Its currently running at $2K a day, which I estimate will see it around $100K by the KS end.

Eh if he was doing miniatures too he'd be at twenty times that. :D

So the Reapers KS is now the benchmark for all game related KS? That seems like flawless logic :D

Something to keep in mind for next time perhaps. ;)

So, where is your miniature KS if its such a sure thing? ;)

Alright Andy calm down, I'm already out a nice set of custom dice over that miniatures thing. Any RPG would be doing very well to get half the support that TBZ got. More seriously it can't be that hard to partner up with a minis company on a project.
