1 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,640 Hello and welcome to the Weekly Scroll podcast. 2 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,120 My name is Ryan and it's just going to be me. 3 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:29,160 Today I'm going to be doing a Crowdfunding Project Spotlight. 4 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:34,000 For those that have listened to us for a while, we used to do a 5 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,640 Kick start the podcast segment where we talk about crowdfunding 6 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,080 projects every week. But we stopped doing that. 7 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,360 It kind of faded out a number of reasons. 8 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:47,760 One, we got to the point where we were like trying to save 9 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,400 money didn't work well. And two, because through the 10 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,640 power of analytics we saw that a lot of people were skipping that 11 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,480 anyway, so didn't seem entirely helpful for everybody. 12 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,240 But it is something that I kind of miss doing, and there are a 13 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:08,360 shit load of projects going on right now across a lot of 14 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,440 platforms. Backer kit itch funding, 15 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,160 Kickstarter, obviously. So I figured I'd do a pretty 16 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:18,040 casual episode today and just kind of talk about a bunch of 17 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,280 them. Didn't even mean to have this 18 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,560 first one up here to start, but I guess this is what we're going 19 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,240 to start with. But for those listening in 20 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:29,080 podcast land or on YouTube, this is a little bit more of a casual 21 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:30,680 episode. So I might be talking to chat a 22 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,080 little bit more on those that don't know. 23 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:38,400 We do stream live on Twitch and then turn those videos into our 24 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,560 podcast and our YouTube bots. So if you hear me talking to 25 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,880 people on chat, maybe come by and chat sometime when we're 26 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:52,600 live. So might as well start with the 27 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:58,280 one that I had up on the board because I was unprepared and 28 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,120 kicking it off. That is Mythic Bastionland 29 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:07,000 before Into the Odd. Pretty much everybody, I mean 30 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,000 everyone that would listen to us knows what into the odd is. 31 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,360 We love it. Fantastic game, Dell. 32 00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:19,000 The new version had graphic design from Johan Nor. 33 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:24,240 We reviewed it in here on stream. 34 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,760 I don't remember what episode That's preparation I probably 35 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:32,280 should do, but I don't. So let's talk about it real 36 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,320 quick. We're going to do a a mix and 37 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,280 match, so chat, remind me if I'm if I'm doing too many kick 38 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,960 starters, remind me to bounce over to backer kid or or itch or 39 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,960 something like that. And if anyone comes in to chat 40 00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:50,280 and has a project, if I'm still on, I'm happy to to go over it. 41 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,440 I also have been finding myself saying I'm a lot more. 42 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,240 I'm going to try to stop doing that. 43 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:05,120 So let's hop into it and let's do it So Mythic Bastion land 44 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,720 before into the odd rules. Light role-playing in a dream 45 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:14,200 like world of Knights and myths crawl Hex's rule a domain and 46 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,440 remember your oath. Oh yeah, we got that one. 47 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,560 That one's, that one's that one's in the docket. 48 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:24,280 Let's this is a casual episode. Let's turn a little bit of this 49 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:25,880 on for you guys. I'm going to know if that's too 50 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,440 loud. So let's go through this a 51 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,640 little bit. Embark on a quest like no other 52 00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:38,000 with Mystic Miss Mythic Bastionland, a tabletop RPG set 53 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,960 in the imagined past of Into the Odd and Electric Bastionland, 54 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,920 built on the same lightning fast ultra streamline rule system. 55 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,720 Again, for those who don't know, Into the Odd is just an 56 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:52,120 extraordinarily slim OSR style game. 57 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,640 A shit load of games out there are built on it, but it's one of 58 00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,120 those games that although a lot of games are built on it, people 59 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,440 still play it because it's great. 60 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,800 I have both. If you see that that orange book 61 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,200 right there, that's into the audit. 62 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,320 Right next to it is Electric Bashing Land. 63 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,160 And looking at the cover here for Mythic Bashing Land, my God, 64 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,480 the art is absolutely astounding. 65 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,800 I cannot wait for it. As far as a Kickstarter page 66 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,280 goes, a Kickstarter page looks nice. 67 00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:25,680 There's a lot of art. There's a lot of art right off 68 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,600 the bat. One of the very first things at 69 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,680 the top is a 74 page quick start rules so you can literally start 70 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,280 playing right now. It's got the core rules and 71 00:04:34,280 --> 00:04:37,040 everything that is such a good thing to have in a crowdfunding 72 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,640 project. A lot of people feel like you 73 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,640 have to like keep it all bottled in and like you somehow can't 74 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,200 leak it until the project over or something. 75 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:51,240 A lot of the really successful projects I find how quick starts 76 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:56,360 or have an ashcan out on itch already, and through that build 77 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,800 a lot of support because people can see that they already like 78 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:03,640 it and want more. So trying to keep everything 79 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,360 under wraps, trying to not put it out there. 80 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,960 Like trying to give people your game, let people know that 81 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,040 they're going to like it. Like if you're proud of your 82 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,080 game, let people play it and then give them more of what they 83 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:19,200 want. It's like marketing fucking one 84 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,360 O 1. Like let the people know what 85 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:22,880 they're getting and then give it to them. 86 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,440 So Knights in search of glory, you begin as a young knight 87 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,160 errant, seeking the glory to lead. 88 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,280 War bands earn a place of court and rule your own domain. 89 00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:37,280 Glory is found hunting the mists of this world, manifesting them 90 00:05:37,280 --> 00:05:39,640 into reality while protecting the realm from their strange 91 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,360 influence. Each player is one of seven and 92 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,840 two nights with personal equipment and nuke ability and a 93 00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:47,000 passion that fuels their spirit rules. 94 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,480 Light, flavor, heavy. We've got to love that OUR man 95 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,200 the the Brits know how to spell right. 96 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,800 If I wasn't so pretentious, if I ever write a game, I would use 97 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:01,360 the OUR but feel like I'm just not quite pretentious enough 98 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,760 because I'm not British. Obviously if you're British, 99 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,360 that's just normal for you. So I get fast-paced rules. 100 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,160 Clearly there's a lot of very different rules to this into the 101 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,320 odd, it's built on into the odd. But if you follow Chris 102 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,840 Mcdowell's sub stack at all for months now, they've been 103 00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:22,520 dropping updated rules and discussions about rules and 104 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:27,080 rules that didn't work and how they, you know, went back to the 105 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,120 drawing board. It's been really, really, really 106 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,200 interesting from a design perspective to see all of the 107 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,160 work going into it. So highly recommend checking out 108 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,120 the sub stack. But as far as the Kickstarter 109 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,800 page goes, again, really great Kickstarter page and that's what 110 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,120 we're going to talk about as much as anything. 111 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,000 A quick preview of the projects and you know, let's just do a 112 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,200 Kickstarter page review too. This is a good one. 113 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,200 There's art, one game, one book. That's this whole thing. 114 00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:54,320 It's a hard buck and APDF. As far as tears go, that's 115 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:58,960 literally all there is for tears is APDF or a hardback book. 116 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:07,640 The PDF is £19 or $24.00 and the print and PDF is £50 or $62.00 117 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,200 plus shipping in the future, probably getting it to be in 118 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,440 like you know, 15 bucks ish, maybe a little more depending on 119 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,400 tracking and whatnot. Regardless of the fact that 120 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,160 there's so few tiers, no exclusive stuff, no whatever, it 121 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:31,520 is already got 34110 backers for over $220,000 which is that's 122 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:36,000 €180,000. So and as well as 24 days to go. 123 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:37,720 It's only been going for like a week. 124 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,200 Really. Really. 125 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,840 I mean, everyone's excited for this fucking game. 126 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,200 There's really not anything to say about this. 127 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:49,720 Everyone, everyone has backed this, you know very, very 128 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,560 excited to to talk about this. Inspirations. 129 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,440 Prince Valiant, Excalibur, Pendragon the Green Knight in 130 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:57,960 the elder ring. Green knight in the elder ring. 131 00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,800 For me when I first started reading a lot of this, that's 132 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,440 what really really jumps out at me a lot is is Green Knight and 133 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,440 the green knight role-playing game from 824 is actually 134 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,360 interesting. There is a video here with an AP 135 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:14,840 on plus one Exp with Tony and I know they had dropped. 136 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,440 There's a questing beast. Read through an arcane library, 137 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:23,120 read through Electric bashing land is available as an add on. 138 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,840 If you don't have electric bashing land, it's fantastic. 139 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,520 I highly recommend grabbing that and I know that they dropped 140 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:34,600 like the first page before that. Had other games that they've 141 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:39,440 looked at to inspire them, which are a lot of into the odd games. 142 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:41,640 Some really really good stuff on that. 143 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,520 I know one of the top ones was Kingdoms from Sophia Tinny, 144 00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:48,440 which we have talked about here a lot on the show, which we have 145 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,640 retcon to be the only game that's ever gotten at 10 for 146 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:59,320 rules here on the show. So that is cool to see and I'm 147 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:04,320 trying to see where I had saved that so I could go over some of 148 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,520 the other ones because there's some really fantastic names and 149 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:12,680 some really fantastic games that have been discussed. 150 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,040 Let's see what else we got here. Karen obviously from Yahagal 151 00:09:19,560 --> 00:09:22,120 Kingdoms from Sophia, Tenny Mouse, Ritter from Isaac 152 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,040 Williams, Neverland from Andrew Kolb, Pendragon from Greg 153 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,680 Stafford, Prince Valiant obviously. 154 00:09:26,680 --> 00:09:29,600 And then Room can from column lasor list of really, really, 155 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,960 really fantastic games. So for a creator to inspire 156 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,080 people to make games and they'd be re inspired by those games, 157 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,640 to add stuff to, you know, on a future version of their game, 158 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,480 it's really cool, really fantastic to see. 159 00:09:48,620 --> 00:09:54,700 And that is Mythic Bastionland. What's the next one we got here? 160 00:09:54,700 --> 00:10:02,700 Let's hop over to a Let's hop over to an itch funding project. 161 00:10:02,900 --> 00:10:05,060 That's. Kind of going off the fucking 162 00:10:05,060 --> 00:10:14,580 rails right now. So this is Celestial Bodies 163 00:10:14,820 --> 00:10:20,720 Technical Handbook. This is from I know it's 164 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:27,120 Charlotte, but the name on here is Salky. 165 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,600 Yep. And there it is. 166 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:36,960 Basiliska on Twitter. Charlotte Laskowski and Binary 167 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:41,320 Star Games. This I honestly, and I'm 168 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,560 probably wrong because I haven't been looking at ITCH funding as 169 00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:46,400 much as I've seen other ITCH funding projects. 170 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:53,280 But this went on ITCH funding I think less than a week ago and 171 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,680 the original I think goal was maybe 1000 or $2000. 172 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,880 It's at over $7000 and like a week on ITCH funding, that's 173 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,600 more than most projects on Kickstarter do. 174 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:09,520 And and this is basically just an ashcan, this is a technical 175 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,760 handbook. It is the yeah, I'm sure it's 176 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,760 most of the game, but there's a lot more to be done and there's 177 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,360 some tears even within this for adding more stuff in so people 178 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:23,680 could do different things like adding in chassis. 179 00:11:23,680 --> 00:11:25,480 Let's get to the actual game and then we'll talk about that a 180 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,440 little bit more. But it's just insane that an 181 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,240 ITCH funding project in less than a week has raised over 182 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:33,840 $7000. Projects like this give hope 183 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,920 that people can eventually break away from the Monopoly on 184 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,080 Kickstarter since it is kind of becoming more of a pre-order 185 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,080 storefront for bigger game companies than it is for helping 186 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,080 small projects get funded. Or at least. 187 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,200 And that has its own problems with the trickle down effect on 188 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,480 people expecting one person to have the same distribution 189 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:57,280 capabilities and and funding or capabilities as you know 190 00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,760 something like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle game or 191 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,000 whatever. So this is a drift among the 192 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,280 bodies of the dead. For a generation after the 193 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,920 Calamity, the infinite dark between the stars felt cramped, 194 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,760 traded by refugees on ships meant for fewer people and 195 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,160 shorter trips. In the second generation, those 196 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,960 who survived in their home ships now cannibalized the metal 197 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,720 skeletons of the less fortunate ships. 198 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,360 The third generation did not expand their ships. 199 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,880 They expanded their Mecca and their operations. 200 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,880 They fled to farther stars, populations in space stations 201 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,320 and on services booming as quickly as lives were lost in 202 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,680 the petty disputes. The 4th generation discovered 203 00:12:32,680 --> 00:12:35,240 the Titans. No probage yet reached these 204 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,880 dead gods whose frozen bodies span hundreds of miles across. 205 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:42,720 And you are the 5th generation. Basically, this is a mech game, 206 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,600 but I think what really gets people about this game and why 207 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,560 they backed it is one. It's super clean and the art is 208 00:12:50,560 --> 00:12:54,120 stunning. If we pop this up here, this 209 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,440 page looks fantastic. It's it's very light. 210 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:02,480 It's not very dense per page at all, but the grid style mech art 211 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,680 are like this kind of like pixel style mech art is really, really 212 00:13:06,680 --> 00:13:10,680 beautiful and it's it's just throughout the game. 213 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,200 But also if you look at this character sheet here, what I 214 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:17,520 brought up is the light frame. There's just some really, really 215 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,160 fun, interesting mechanics about this game that I think really 216 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:24,480 pulled a lot of people in. The primary thing is the grid. 217 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:30,560 So every frame gets a grid, which is a number of, you know, 218 00:13:30,560 --> 00:13:34,120 squares in a grid. I don't know how to explain 219 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,480 grids to you, but basically each one gets a different number of 220 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,560 grids and then you can fill it with a different number of 221 00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:42,520 things. So for example on here it has 222 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,960 this is a 2 by 6 grid. So one of them has, well, two 223 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,960 have thrusters, one has a reactor, one has a processor, 224 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,720 and then across 4 is a blade. So that's a weapon. 225 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,520 And across three is a shotgun. So you know, it has thrusters, 226 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,680 reactor, a processor, a shotgun and a blade, and that's it. 227 00:13:58,680 --> 00:14:00,720 That's all it has. But what's really interesting 228 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,920 about that is when you actually build your Max, there's this 229 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:12,120 very simple but deep system where everything that uses 230 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,960 something in that grid has to be next to that grid. 231 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,280 So for example, the reactor, your thrusters have to be 232 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,040 attached to your reactor because the reactor powers the 233 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:22,240 thrusters. So you can't just stick it 234 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:26,680 anywhere on the grid, right? So same thing with processors 235 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,880 and things like that. Anything that would use the 236 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,000 processor has to be adjacent to the processor. 237 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,240 So you can see there's these little arrows that show reactors 238 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:39,560 to the thrusters, and then the reactor powering the processor 239 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:43,040 and the processor powering the blade and the shotgun, right? 240 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,360 So Shields off to have to be on there as well. 241 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:52,240 But this is also your HP system, which is such a fun way to do it 242 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:56,760 as well. I don't think it's here, might 243 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,440 have been in a different section, but just bringing up 244 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,720 this grid thing again. So basically as far as HP goes, 245 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,800 you take that grid that you built your whole system on and 246 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,680 then you stick it on a 6 by 6 grid. 247 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:14,640 And then when bad guys try to hit you, they roll AD 66 of 6 248 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,280 across and six down. And if it lands outside of your 249 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,200 grid, it misses. But if it lands inside your 250 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,080 grid, that part of your grid is damaged. 251 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,640 And if you damage everything, you're done. 252 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,280 And if you damage important parts, you can't use them 253 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,280 anymore. So if you have everything 254 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:35,880 attached to your processor, if the processor goes you can't use 255 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,280 or it's no longer helping the things that's attached to it. 256 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:43,400 So it's just it seems extremely simple but very deep system 257 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,560 where you use this grid to build out your entire mech and 258 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:48,560 everything that you can do with it. 259 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,640 It's, I've already downloaded this version of it, it's $20. 260 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:58,120 It's really honestly fantastic. This is called the terrestrial 261 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,840 edition or the technical the technical handbook. 262 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,400 It's already been getting some updates, and as far as ITCH 263 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:09,240 funding goes, there are a lot of things that tiers within it that 264 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:13,160 you can do. So at the highest levels, which 265 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,400 I can only imagine most of those are gone now. 266 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:20,760 No, there's still some going. You can even oh the the Titanic 267 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,640 Commander is gone. So the things you could have 268 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,440 got, and this will explain all of it you could have done. 269 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:28,920 Adding a new weapon. Adding a new faction. 270 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,160 Adding a new Titan frame. All of those are in the 271 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,640 different tiers and you can still get all the way up to. 272 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,480 There's a Cosmic Explorer here at $100 where you can work with 273 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,560 the team to design A faction and a weapon that's still available. 274 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:47,440 17 left of those. And then at the lower tiers you 275 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,120 can build a faction or you can do a weapon. 276 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,000 You can get just the the PDF of the game. 277 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,400 You can get the PDF and add community copies. 278 00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:00,040 I mean, this thing sold so many. Basically every time that 279 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:04,079 someone bought funds, they put more community copies in. 280 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,520 There's still like 75 on there. So if you don't have 20 bucks, 281 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,040 you can snag a community copy. If you do, give them $20, let's 282 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,000 see how far we can go with the $7000. 283 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:17,280 And I can't imagine how far this will go if it hits Kickstarter 284 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:18,960 in the future as like an actual printed book. 285 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:24,680 This kind of blew everybody away just how well it's done. 286 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,680 And I I again, Kickstarter is Kickstarter. 287 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,720 I almost wish this. So with all of its faults and 288 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,600 things, I almost wish this would go on a Kickstarter first. 289 00:17:36,120 --> 00:17:40,200 But it's hard when there's a new creator, or I don't even think 290 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,680 they're a new creator, but just someone who might be tentative 291 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:47,720 about how much time they have right now to do it or how much 292 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,520 funding that they could possibly get. 293 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,560 So they start to itch fund just to see if there's interest. 294 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,960 And then I can't imagine that the creator thought it would 295 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,600 blow up this much. I honestly can't. 296 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,200 And I'm really excited that it did and I can't wait to see 297 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,880 where this goes in the future. So celestial bodies on itch 298 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:09,200 funding right now again, Binary Star Games and you can find the 299 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:15,600 itch at SELKIE dot itch dot IO or you can just search celestial 300 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:22,240 Bodies itch in Google and and that's how you'll find it. 301 00:18:23,360 --> 00:18:30,360 All right, let's pop back over to Let's pop back over to 302 00:18:30,360 --> 00:18:34,560 Kickstarter real quick. And then we'll go to a We'll go 303 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,920 to a backer kit 1. So this one we don't need to 304 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:38,440 talk about a whole lot because we've already talked about it. 305 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,360 This is Order Blues Afterburn. It still has three days left to 306 00:18:41,360 --> 00:18:46,360 go. It's funded for $92,942 on 307 00:18:46,360 --> 00:18:51,160 Kickstarter. This is the first Big Wave 308 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:55,560 expansion for Orbital Blues, which is put up by Soul Muppet. 309 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,960 We have a whole episode just a couple episodes ago where we 310 00:18:59,960 --> 00:19:05,760 have Sam Slaney and Zach Jelly Muppet from Soul Muppet on to 311 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,280 talk about this and really break it all down. 312 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,960 So there's not a whole lot we need to say about this except go 313 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,600 check out that episode. But basically this is a a new 314 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:19,440 expansion to the beloved Orbital Blues game, which is fantastic. 315 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,800 It's Sad Space Cowboys, it's it's Cowboy Bebop, it's Firefly, 316 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,280 it's all that stuff. And it's built on a really great 317 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:30,920 D6 system that was pioneered in Best of aired and then adapted 318 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:35,520 in Orbital Blues in a fun way. Like you level up by being sad. 319 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:37,960 It's fucking fantastic and it's really cool. 320 00:19:38,120 --> 00:19:41,200 So and the other great thing about the Afterburn Kickstarter 321 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:45,400 is aside from getting a bunch of cool stuff like Adventures and 322 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,720 AVHS Case, you know they're reprinting pretty much 323 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,040 everything from the original Orbital Blues Kickstarter. 324 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,080 So you can get the original book, you can get all the 325 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,280 original stuff. So if you didn't get it before, 326 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,440 you can get it now. I don't think they're, I'm 327 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,360 pretty positive they're not doing the night cover for the 328 00:20:02,360 --> 00:20:04,360 Kickstarter, but I think they did back. 329 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:10,240 To reprint the original or they have the original cassette as an 330 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:14,040 option, a new cassette as an option from Behold the Artist, 331 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:15,320 The Crown of them All, Bang Camp. 332 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,680 And I think even Chris Bassett's coming back to do another 333 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,520 cassette of music for that because of all the stressfuls 334 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,520 that are on reach. So this is a really great one. 335 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,400 Like I said, we had them on the show just a little bit ago, just 336 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,560 a couple episodes, and then we did an AP right after where we 337 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,120 actually played some orbital Blues here on stream with Josh 338 00:20:34,120 --> 00:20:37,120 Domansky, myself, Hunter and Marco Serrano of Spicy Tuna. 339 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,920 So definitely go check that out if you want to get a little bit 340 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,880 more in depth so we don't have to go through this one too much, 341 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,840 but you definitely want to back Orbital Blues Afterburn. 342 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,360 Let's hop over to a backer kit project. 343 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:56,880 This is Deathmatch Island from Evil Hat Games. 344 00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,400 This is another one that is already funded. 345 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:05,920 It had a $30,000 goal and is back for $138,846 already for 346 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:10,880 202,667 backers. And it has 58 hours left, so 347 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,600 maybe two days. So by the time I get this out it 348 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,680 might still be up. But Deathmatch Island is a 349 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,120 fast-paced game about a deadly game show on a mysterious 350 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,880 island. Chain this from Evil Hot Games. 351 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,680 So this is Backer Kit. It it's an extremely similar 352 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,000 interface to Kickstarter, I think. 353 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:35,160 I don't like this huge white space over here. 354 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,840 It's like 1/4 of the page. It's just blank empty space. 355 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,680 That Backer Kit does not utilize extremely well. 356 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:52,960 You know, Kickstarter. Kickstarter has the tiers on the 357 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,320 side stick up that space. This is just empty space backer 358 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:56,360 kit. You should fill that space with 359 00:21:56,360 --> 00:21:59,840 better stuff or allow the stuff underneath to fill more of that 360 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,160 page. But anyway, so Deathmatch 361 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,800 Island. This is another one that says 362 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,680 every backer gets instant access to the fully playable text. 363 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,920 Complete prototype PDF of the game. 364 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:15,440 Like as soon as you back it, you get the PDF so you can try it 365 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,160 out. That's again. 366 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,280 That's fucking fantastic. That's a really cool thing to to 367 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:24,560 have right off the bat, and it really plays into this kind of 368 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:29,800 like very, What was that? What was that really popular 369 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:36,960 show on Netflix, Squid Games? That's immediately what I was 370 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,480 reminded of. But the the cover is absolutely 371 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,800 stunning. Where there's this, I think it's 372 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,920 called burning a vehicle with smoke coming off on this kind of 373 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,680 sunset background. It's the style of it is 374 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,320 absolutely gorgeous. I love how crisp and clean it 375 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:54,760 is. The logo is neat. 376 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,320 It's got it's a circle and it's got half of, you know, a lined 377 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,440 globe and half of a skull. It's really, really interesting. 378 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,680 So little blurbs here at the top. 379 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:08,360 Congratulations, competitor 359, you've been selected to 380 00:23:08,360 --> 00:23:10,360 participate in Deathmatch Island. 381 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,160 Winning will mean fame, freedom, and unlimited wealth. 382 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,920 You may be experiencing some confusion and memory loss. 383 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:20,000 This is normal.

Set on a chain of mysterious 388 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,360 islands. Armed only with their hazy 389 00:23:31,360 --> 00:23:34,440 memories and matching uniforms, the players compete in 390 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,600 challenges to satisfy the demands of production. 391 00:23:38,360 --> 00:23:40,840 If you're a squid game, Survivor, Lost, Battle Royale, 392 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:45,320 Control, The Hunger Games, Corporate Dystopia, or really or 393 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,200 messed up reality TV fan, you're going to enjoy Deathmatch 394 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,320 Island. There's some pictures of the 395 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,400 layout inside. I love how crisp and clean the 396 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,360 layout is. So it seems like the the 397 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,080 overriding colors of all this are like a a vaguely off white, 398 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,600 not quite an eggshell, but just like a it's white, but not, you 399 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,200 know, bright white, orange and black. 400 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,520 Clean. Really love it pops. 401 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:10,320 Without being too much, it's looks really fantastic. 402 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,920 Death Magellan promotes fast, flexible gameplay with a 403 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:18,120 striking design by Tim Denay Based on the Paragon system by 404 00:24:18,120 --> 00:24:23,600 Shawn Nitner, Aegon and John Harper. 405 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,600 Aegon Blades in the Dark, Lady Blackbird, Lasers and Feelings. 406 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,480 So it uses the Paragon system from Shawn and John Harper. 407 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,480 Shawn Harper makes great stuff. You know, we weren't a huge fan 408 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,080 of the Blades in the Dark. Book Blazers and Feelings is 409 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,760 great and Forge in the Dark is really fantastic. 410 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,640 It's got an example of a character sheet here, which is 411 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,640 cool. It goes through the conflict 412 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,840 resolution mechanisms right here on the page. 413 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,880 It's got an example of the map, which again really is pretty 414 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,920 much just black whites and and orange. 415 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,240 I love the consistency of the graphic design throughout. 416 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,680 I really love the color choice. It looks really, really nice and 417 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:04,840 it they're very clearly doing a a book with a little bit of like 418 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,480 as if it was in world, you know. So there's a lot of things 419 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,560 addressed to the player. It reminds me of the way that 420 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,760 Triangle Agency wrote up their book. 421 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:17,760 So it looks really, really cool. So, yeah, and as far as we can 422 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,800 get with the pledge levels, there are a lot of pledge 423 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,080 levels. PDF is $15, there's a roll 20 424 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:29,400 module use Foundry Con 30 bucks hardcover, and PDF is only $30, 425 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,520 which is really great. That's relatively inexpensive 426 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,920 currently in this economy for a nice hardcover book. 427 00:25:36,360 --> 00:25:40,720 So that's good to see and it only there's a a list of people 428 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,920 who have places it ships too. I assume that's just the 429 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,880 distribution partners. USAUK, Canada, Australia, New 430 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:53,320 Zealand. Someone has sent me on IE and 431 00:25:53,320 --> 00:26:01,360 NO. Not sure what those are. 432 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:09,880 I feel dumb not knowing but yeah blah blah blah. 433 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,320 Limited edition and PDF is $45.00. 434 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:16,720 Retailer tier for 60 Survival kit is 95 and in the Survival 435 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:21,280 kit you get the limited edition with the alt cover and in papers 436 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,440 2 ribbons. It will not be printed after 437 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:24,840 this campaign. So if you want the limited 438 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,760 edition alt cover version this is definitely what how you want 439 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:30,720 to get it. It looks like it's more of a 440 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,840 like a manual cover with redacted stuff on it, which 441 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:38,280 looks really neat, but you get a lot more stuff with it. 442 00:26:38,360 --> 00:26:42,120 You get the hardcover edition, you get folded, printed maps, 443 00:26:42,360 --> 00:26:45,560 motivation cards in game handouts, island booklets, 444 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:49,240 production guidance booklet, competitor booklet, cast pages, 445 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,800 welcome letter diagrams.

So that's really cool. 449 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,360 Clearly that's what I backed. I want all of this. 450 00:27:03,360 --> 00:27:05,720 It looks really great. Like I said, the design on it 451 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,680 throughout the good fucking job. It looks stunning. 452 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,040 The game system sounds really, really great. 453 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:16,520 Any idea of it is cool and there's already an AP to watch, 454 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:23,760 which is fantastic.

One of the woods, mysterious 483 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:03,520 monoliths appear randomly and strange music is coming from 484 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:22,760 somewhere. Can you see my cursor? 485 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:28,200 I was positive that, well, give me a second. 486 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,640 Suddenly I had some technical difficulties. 487 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:49,760 That was weird. So yeah. 488 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:53,680 So anyway, so created by Richard, I'm going to say that's 489 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,480 RU A&E.

So this is an any winning Tip 493 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:11,480 Top RPG funded in November of 2021, released in 2023. 494 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,800 There is a series of scenes for it already and as I said it is a 495 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,880 rules light horror RPG about a small, predominantly queer 496 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,400 summertime community in the summer of 1979. 497 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,080 The game is the GM, three to five players requires A handful 498 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,240 of 6 sided dice which are not included. 499 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:32,160 The art is really beautiful. I love this style it it's 500 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,640 definitely of the time, especially if you look at the 501 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:37,600 cover with the the two people on it. 502 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:41,280 It's got that. It's a very like pulp magazine 503 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,320 art style, which is absolutely stunning. 504 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,160 I'm trying to see if it lists who did the art. 505 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:52,440 Regardless, it it's really great. 506 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,080 So this project already exists, it's already out there in the 507 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,240 world. What they're funding now is 508 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,040 hardbacks. Maybe you don't have a hardback, 509 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:01,720 maybe you don't. Maybe I just have. 510 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:06,760 No, I must not. So this is funding a hardback as 511 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:08,840 well as some other stuff. Like there's an actual play 512 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,880 that's already funded because it's sponsored for plus one Exp. 513 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:18,000 Their funding for actual plays and extra adventures and stuff. 514 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,440 There's add-ons for the scenes that are already out there. 515 00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,520 Art cards, T-shirts. I obviously I went all the way 516 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,480 and got a T-shirt. There's some APS that are 517 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,240 already here and fulfillment is with. 518 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:33,600 Plus one Exp for hardbacks, souvenirs and classic paperbacks 519 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,720 and Space Penguin Ink, who was just on the show yesterday, 520 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,880 fulfilling scenes and add-ons.

You won't have to worry about 523 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,680 that. It's interesting that they're 524 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,600 splitting the distribution up across both of them. 525 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,360 But yeah, Rook Studio does a lot of really, really great stuff. 526 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,840 This is for those that didn't have a chance to get this stuff 527 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:57,400 previously.

This is another game that's 538 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,600 already funded. I should really hit someones 539 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:37,360 that aren't funded because I don't want to burn out before I 540 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:42,200 stop talking. So $9000 on a $5000 goal 541 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,320 already. They just dropped. 542 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:48,560 It's got 25 days left, 367 backers already, and so Star 543 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,040 Crossed is back. This lovingly illustrated book 544 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,960 is full of characters, settings, and new ways to play that will 545 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,960 help you enrich and enhance your sessions of the two player tower 546 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:02,400 based game of forbidden love. A lot of these have videos I'm 547 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,600 not playing because I don't want to. 548 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,160 So what is Star Crossed? Star Crossed is a two player 549 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,800 game about really, really wanting to when you really, 550 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,840 really can't. And Star Crossed you and your 551 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,000 fellow player craft characters who are powerfully attracted to 552 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,720 each other but have a compelling reason not to act on their 553 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,760 feelings. Watch the attraction between 554 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,680 them grow as you play out scenes taking turns describing what 555 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,680 your character says and does. When a character does something 556 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,560 that could increase that attraction, you pull a brick 557 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,360 from an increasingly shaky Zhenga tower and place it on 558 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,440 top. If the tower falls, your 559 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,520 character acts on their feelings. 560 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:46,560 So really neat. I feel like I listened to some 561 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:50,480 podcast episodes about this and I'm sorry if the creator 562 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,200 actually ends up watching this for not knowing a little bit 563 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,120 more about this. But, and I hope I'm talking 564 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:55,640 about the right thing. But I feel like there was like 565 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:59,120 this like spy versus spy situation where like you're not 566 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,840 allowed to touch, you're not allowed to do stuff, but you're 567 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,280 really into each other. And I thought that was just a 568 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,840 really cool thing to do. And it's a really cool system in 569 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:12,040 place, especially between two people playing. 570 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,159 Star Crossed, it says feels like being pulled in two directions 571 00:34:14,159 --> 00:34:15,920 at once. When your head and heart are 572 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,360 telling you two different things are when what you want and what 573 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,360 you believe in are impossible to reconcile. 574 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,000 The game is simple, quick, and filled with delicious moments of 575 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,719 excitement, tension, and occasional heartbreak. 576 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:32,600 I could be wrong, but I feel like the art, if it's not the 577 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:39,120 same artist, is very similar to Oh my God, why am I blanking on 578 00:34:44,159 --> 00:34:50,280 the name of the game? Thirsty Sword. 579 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,280 Lesbians. Same, same company. 580 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:53,400 So it's probably it's the same artist. 581 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:57,920 It reminds me a lot of that. Gives me the same vibe a bit 582 00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,080 too. So it's this Love Letters. 583 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,840 It's a supplement for Star Crossed, full of beautiful 584 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,040 illustrations and you know, etcetera, etcetera. 585 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:07,800 All new illustrations from a bunch of people. 586 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:16,480 Names listed on the page and I believe why support love 587 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,280 letters? Because you're * cross fan, 588 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,920 because it's cool or whatever. So the reward levels that you're 589 00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:22,920 talking about. So you can get the digital 590 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,760 version of just the expansion which is love letters. 591 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:29,080 For $12.00 you can get the print and digital for $15 you can get 592 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,800 star crossed plus love letters digital. 593 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:35,800 For $20 you can get * cross plus plus love letters, print and 594 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:39,560 digital for $40. Then there's a $45.00 retail 595 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:41,880 bundle and $120.00 retailer bundle. 596 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,760 And then there's a $500 Distinguished backer or refined 597 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:48,360 taste, if that even still is around. 598 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:52,240 Basically it's the get everything and do like custom 599 00:35:52,240 --> 00:35:55,840 stuff with the designer stuff. Which is cool. 600 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,880 I I think it might be gone already though when I backed 601 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:05,200 this and then there's add-ons for bits and pieces as well. 602 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,520 A great list of people associated with it and damn, 603 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,240 there's some really good people contributors for this. 604 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:15,440 Kieran Gillen if you know die, like that's huge. 605 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,480 Banana chain has done some really fantastic things. 606 00:36:17,720 --> 00:36:19,280 I mean everyone on here is really, really great. 607 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,200 But those are two names that immediately jumped out to me 608 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,720 because I know them more than I think I know a lot of these 609 00:36:23,720 --> 00:36:27,000 people, but there's a lot of contributors to this and the 610 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:32,720 game looks really, really neat. Gosh, Jason Morningstar is on 611 00:36:32,720 --> 00:36:34,160 here too. There's just a lot going on 612 00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,800 here. Well, I mean, it's hot, but 613 00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:38,880 yeah, so this looks fun. It's a it's a two player game. 614 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:44,160 Especially for those who might be in ATTRB just with their 615 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,960 partner, this would be beyond perfect. 616 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,760 But for anyone in general, this one looks really neat. 617 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,800 So check it out once again. This is Star Crossed Love 618 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:56,360 Letters. It is an expansion to Star 619 00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,960 Crossed and you can get both when you back this. 620 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:04,400 So go back it. Let's hop over to another Itch 621 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,680 One, this is 1 we're going to be talking about a little bit more 622 00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,360 on the show, and it's been ITCH funding for a while. 623 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:15,360 I think it's ITCH funding goals. It was three months long and so 624 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:19,520 it's wrapping up, I believe, at the end of November, so we're 625 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:24,960 going to talk about it soon. But this is Planet Fist, so for 626 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:29,440 those who who backed Fist or didn't back Fist. 627 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:30,960 Fist is a fucking fantastic game. 628 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,680 From Claymore I have the original one. 629 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,480 I have the ultra edition one. I have an ultra edition like 630 00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:39,440 press copy that Claymore sent us. 631 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:43,320 Great person definitely worth supporting their things for. 632 00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:49,080 And this is Planet Fist which I I personally love this game so 633 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,240 much. It speaks directly to what I 634 00:37:51,240 --> 00:37:52,720 like about tape top role-playing games. 635 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,440 This is a compatible with fist game I love. 636 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,120 It says compatible with this kind of. 637 00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:02,480 Basically it uses the very, very, very core mechanic of Fist 638 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,760 and turns it into not necessarily. 639 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:10,560 It's not a skirmish game, it's a tactical RPG, which I absolutely 640 00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,720 love. Anyone that back like help your 641 00:38:12,720 --> 00:38:17,160 service from Sandy Pog or checked out a lot of the stuff 642 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:21,720 from Sandra OAD. This is a game I list. 643 00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:26,120 I can't wait to talk about this on stream, but it's got a $3000 644 00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:29,120 funding goal. Right now it's at 27192. 645 00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,080 I know I had talked with just a little bit, just Levine the 646 00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:36,480 creator. Now this is Jump Gate games. 647 00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:42,560 But they we chat a little bit about this, but this is it. 648 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,520 It says it's a PBTA narrative. We'll we'll we're talking about 649 00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,080 Apocalypse World today. We'll get into what what PBTA 650 00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:49,720 means. But this is basically a 2D6 651 00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:54,520 mixed success tactical war game in the world of Fist. 652 00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:59,080 Kind of actually that's the part of this, not really at all in 653 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:02,920 using some of the mechanics of Fist, but turns it into like a 654 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:10,520 like a space war combat game. Let me let me actually read what 655 00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,520 it says to understand it a little bit more. 656 00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:16,440 So Planet Fist is a PBTA narrative war game of satirical 657 00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,200 sci-fi skirmish role-playing or storytelling. 658 00:39:19,720 --> 00:39:22,960 And I hacked Claymore's Fist and winner of the Substance award in 659 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:29,640 the Fist Ultra Jam. It's a 60 page 8 1/2 by 11 total 660 00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,960 conversion. You don't need Fist to play and 661 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:34,920 it's been featured in Dice Breaker and Gnomes do. 662 00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,400 Yeah, it's it's running from September 1st to November 30th. 663 00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,600 And what is Planet Fist? It is inspired by Starship 664 00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,920 Troopers, Battlefield Bad Company, and most of all by 665 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,560 Planetside 2. I don't know anything about 666 00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:50,720 Planetside 2, so I want to check that out. 667 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,160 But three principles Guided death is life, shootouts are 668 00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,720 stories and fiction. First, so it is a fiction first, 669 00:39:58,240 --> 00:40:01,760 narrative war game using a 2D6 system. 670 00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:06,400 You couldn't write something that is more exactly in my 671 00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:10,280 mechanical wheelhouse. So the second I heard about 672 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:16,080 this, I fell in love with it, Reached out to Jess, said, Hey, 673 00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:20,840 let's talk about this. So we are going to be having 674 00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:27,320 this game for review here on the show on the 19th I believe. 675 00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:29,720 It is so really excited to talk about it. 676 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,760 But check it out again. This is it's funny right now. 677 00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:35,920 So if you buy it right now, you get it right now And it's only 678 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:44,320 $8 which is crazy. I really hope that this goes on 679 00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,520 to become Prince. Like do a whole thing. 680 00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:50,440 I want more of this. I want it in my hands. 681 00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:54,440 I want more than just APDF. I would be really excited to to 682 00:40:54,440 --> 00:41:03,440 see this and jumping on the back of Claymore, like like how Good 683 00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:08,000 Fist did on Kickstarter, I think this would blow up just as much. 684 00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:12,720 So yeah, so there's community copies, there's multiple tiers 685 00:41:12,720 --> 00:41:15,200 including acknowledgments and naming a player and things like 686 00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,240 that. There are demos that you can 687 00:41:17,240 --> 00:41:20,560 download so you can check out how it is right now. 688 00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:24,920 But again, for $8 I obviously backed this and got it. 689 00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:27,280 It's fantastic. It's super clean. 690 00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,640 It's built with the same layout as Fist. 691 00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:35,280 It mimics it almost one for one, but really takes the game into a 692 00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:38,960 completely different direction, which is really, really fun and 693 00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:43,280 interesting. So you definitely want to to 694 00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:48,120 check out Planet Fest by jumping Jumpgate Games on Itch. 695 00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:53,000 Really, really fantastic. And then and the creators also 696 00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:54,880 put out other stuff too. I literally have one thing next 697 00:41:54,920 --> 00:42:02,280 to me. This is I have the high ground 698 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:07,560 collaborative game. I went, I went full bore on it, 699 00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:11,520 got the whole, got the whole shebang with this, with this bag 700 00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,200 and everything. Which I love having the bag, but 701 00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,720 I can't take it out of the bag because it's such a cool bag so 702 00:42:16,720 --> 00:42:19,120 I can't put it on a shelf and then it's why it's sitting next 703 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:20,400 to me. But this is really cool. 704 00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:23,720 This is a great scene collaborative 2 player dueling 705 00:42:23,720 --> 00:42:26,080 game of banter posturing in capes. 706 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,680 This is cool. Pretty sure it won awards. 707 00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:35,320 This comes with wooden dice and tokens and stuff too. 708 00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:40,200 So Jess has made some really, really awesome stuff already. 709 00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,520 Great creator. And this just continues to 710 00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:46,760 expand their their catalog of awesome stuff that they've made 711 00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,880 so highly, highly, highly worth backing. 712 00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:56,400 And again I hope that this is not the the end of the planet 713 00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:59,720 fist journey and I hope that I can eventually be holding this 714 00:42:59,720 --> 00:43:01,560 in my hand. So we'll see. 715 00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:02,880 We'll see what happens with that. 716 00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:06,120 I think that's all the ones I have on itch. 717 00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:12,040 Let's hop back-to-back your kid. Let's jump up to well, I mean I 718 00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:16,920 I gotta I gotta talk about this and then I'll start going from 719 00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,400 the top instead of the bottom so that we can look at ones that 720 00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:23,760 aren't funded yet. But my goodness, a base of 721 00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:27,080 hallucinations. Collected Edition Max Min has 722 00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:31,080 got to be one of the just best people in the entire world. 723 00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:37,920 Friend of the show, friend to myself personally Insane amazing 724 00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:42,840 Creator has put out some amazing stuff I for as long as I've 725 00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:46,120 known Max, I have. I have been sitting on my phone 726 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:49,640 waiting for Kickstarter to drop so I can be backer #1 because 727 00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:58,720 Max is all about doing small run, handmade, just rare stuff. 728 00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:02,600 Things that you won't get ever again. 729 00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,160 Maybe new editions of, but but not the older stuff. 730 00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:09,240 And my God if that that doesn't speak directly to my collector 731 00:44:09,240 --> 00:44:14,040 soul. So for, for example, I have a 732 00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:17,160 whole Max moon shelf over here. Let's run through a couple of 733 00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:22,000 those things real quick. This right here is 12 years 734 00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:24,160 which is one of my favorite games of all time. 735 00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:27,840 A game that Max put out. This is actually the pre 736 00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:30,480 Kickstarter prototype copy of 12 years. 737 00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:33,440 It's got an original like draft stamp on the back of what the 738 00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:37,240 Kickstarter of what the the Xena eventually looks like. 739 00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:41,720 This is like the original before there was even a logo prototype 740 00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,720 on play tested one of these in the world. 741 00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:53,200 I have that this is a hardcover of 12 years that Max made by 742 00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:59,600 hand, handbound, handmade. And there's only two of this 743 00:44:59,960 --> 00:45:04,280 version that exists in the entire world because if you look 744 00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:10,080 inside it tells says right there for those that can see it if it 745 00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:15,880 unblurs or if it zooms. This is the weekly scroll 746 00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:20,920 edition of two, right? So there's only two of these 747 00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:26,440 hardback, cloth bound Gold and Black editions in the world. 748 00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:32,400 I have one and Hunter has one. This, Speaking of abyss of 749 00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:43,480 Hallucinations is a hand made one of one from the last 750 00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:48,560 Kickstarter. This is the book of lies 751 00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:56,000 handbound hand put together from Max. 752 00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:01,760 Again, this the the attention to detail, the craft, and the 753 00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:12,480 desire to put quality writing inside quality like books like 754 00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:14,400 that. The hand that they fucking hand 755 00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:18,720 make is insane to me. And again, the fact that they're 756 00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,920 one of the most wonderful people in the world helps a ton and I 757 00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:24,440 just received this. This would be the first time 758 00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:27,880 that and the last time anyone of you guys will ever see this. 759 00:46:28,240 --> 00:46:32,040 They just dropped the Demon Lord expansion and there was a one of 760 00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:41,320 one hand bound hand made hand everything of the Demon Lord 761 00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:52,240 expansion and this is that gold on the front hand down leather. 762 00:46:52,720 --> 00:46:56,280 Look at the gold speckling on the edge of these red pages. 763 00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:01,000 No, the book of lies that I just showed is is Aleister Crowley's 764 00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,280 Book of Book of Lies just reprinted by Max. 765 00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:08,120 But look, the Red Demon Lord pages on the inside. 766 00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:19,360 So yeah, very, very, very happy to have this. 767 00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:24,280 It's, it's this is what I'm talking about as far as Max and 768 00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:25,760 the quality of the stuff that they produce. 769 00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:31,000 So it it's just this this whole top shelf right here that you 770 00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:34,320 guys can see. That's all Max in there. 771 00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:38,640 I also have the one of one black on black on Black Fairy Land 772 00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:40,680 that they put out because I was back #1 for that. 773 00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:43,680 I'm proud of this and one of the biggest reasons I'm proud of it 774 00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:46,240 is because Max is such a good person and a good friend. 775 00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,080 So it makes me really proud to have these like one of one that 776 00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:53,400 I know that they put so much effort, time and love into what 777 00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:56,200 they're making and this is a culmination of Abyss of 778 00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:58,800 hallucinations. So this is not only Abyss of 779 00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:02,760 Hallucinations 3, which is an occult inspired Merckborg 780 00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:05,440 setting built on the nihilistic psychedelia of Aleister 781 00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:09,080 Crowley's Book of Lies. This is also a combined edition 782 00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:11,640 of everything. And as far as the Kickstarter 783 00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:14,800 page goes, this is what you do with the Kickstarter page. 784 00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:17,760 For those out there like I can tell you right now, I know 785 00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:19,560 projects that have failed because their Kickstarter pages 786 00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:23,200 sucked. I could name 10 right now at the 787 00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,880 top of my head that I know that if they had a better Kickstarter 788 00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:29,760 page they would have funded. So look at these successful 789 00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:32,120 Kickstarter pages. One of the very first things you 790 00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:33,920 want to do is show people what they get. 791 00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:37,680 One of the very first things on here is a picture of everything 792 00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:40,040 that you can get from this campaign right off the bat and 793 00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:41,360 you go, wait, what the fuck is that? 794 00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:43,360 Let me read through to find out what that is. 795 00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:45,560 Right. So Abyss of Hallucinations is an 796 00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:47,680 occult inspired Mark Borg setting built upon the 797 00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:50,200 nihilistic psychedelia of Aleister Crowley's Book of Lies. 798 00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:53,320 The campaign adds the 3rd and final volume to the Zine 799 00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:57,120 collection and unifies the triad in a deluxe hardcover 800 00:48:57,120 --> 00:49:00,600 compilation, giving the Abyss the decadent chloria it 801 00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:04,280 deserves. OK, so you this is not just #3 802 00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:08,720 in the series, it is also a hardbound version of all three 803 00:49:08,720 --> 00:49:14,240 together. All right, you get a a massive 804 00:49:14,240 --> 00:49:16,640 list of stuff that I'm not gonna go through if you're seeing it. 805 00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:22,120 Hit maps, hex crawling, stuff in PCs, magic things, everything 806 00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:23,720 like crazy. There's a great graphic here 807 00:49:23,720 --> 00:49:26,240 where it actually folds out to what the zine's going to look 808 00:49:26,240 --> 00:49:28,080 like, which is really, really stunning. 809 00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:32,960 The Slip case set of all three. It contains Abyss of 810 00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:37,360 Hallucinations collected and The Book of Lies and A5 panel GM 811 00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:41,680 screen in a Slip case. And it's this gorgeous white 812 00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:47,160 with red and gold embossing and foiling and everything on it. 813 00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:50,920 It's God, it's so it's so gorgeous. 814 00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:55,440 And it is the correct end place for all of this, because I know 815 00:49:55,440 --> 00:50:00,960 when Abyss first came out and 12 years first came out, I don't 816 00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:09,400 think the how much, I don't think the production level was 817 00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:10,720 there for Max. I wanna say like he was a 818 00:50:10,720 --> 00:50:16,760 smaller creator, but because of the loving community that he's 819 00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:22,960 built and the fans that he's made, they're able to now put 820 00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:26,000 something out of this quality on this scale is what the scale is. 821 00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,560 What I was talking about more than anything because everything 822 00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:31,240 they did before they were literally doing every single 823 00:50:31,240 --> 00:50:33,920 Zine by hand. And I remember like messages 824 00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:37,160 about his fingers bleeding trying to get all of the books 825 00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:41,160 made. But this is through Exalted or 826 00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:43,720 with Exalted which is jumped in on. 827 00:50:43,720 --> 00:50:45,520 I don't think they've been with all the best, but I know they 828 00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:50,800 were the last one. And and yeah, yeah, I'm super 829 00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:53,400 excited for this project. So yeah, there's the collected 830 00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:57,400 edition, which again, hardback foiling, gorgeous, stunning. 831 00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:01,400 It's insane. And then there's so there's a 832 00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:03,720 Book of Lies edition. There's a GM screen. 833 00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:07,760 There's the volume 3 scene, which continues with the pink, 834 00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:12,680 white and gold covers. You they don't do. 835 00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:15,280 The pictures will never do the justice for the Zine in hand. 836 00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:18,480 The white has this shimmer to it and it's imprinted over top of 837 00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:20,040 the pink. It's absolutely stunning. 838 00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:26,520 And then there's also the Coup Hooligans tape. 839 00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:34,800 Coup Hooligans is a music project that Max has that does 840 00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:38,720 some tapes from the previous projects like Fairland. 841 00:51:38,720 --> 00:51:41,680 How to go through Again's tape. This one looks fantastic. 842 00:51:41,720 --> 00:51:47,280 Obviously you can find. I think I can get that now. 843 00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:49,000 I think I even have that now in my band camp. 844 00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:53,280 You can get a T-shirt. It comes with stickers. 845 00:51:53,720 --> 00:51:56,840 There's the zines versus the book in the collected edition. 846 00:51:56,840 --> 00:52:01,440 So you can get either of those, but one of the ones I want to 847 00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:03,800 talk about the. So all the tiers, basically to 848 00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:10,840 run through the tiers, you got the it's the first tier. 849 00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:13,560 Yeah, so the first tier is called the The Third Triad. 850 00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,600 You get the Zine, you get the Player's Guide Zine, you get the 851 00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:21,440 soundtrack and you get stretch goals and that's $35 for $50 you 852 00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:25,560 get. Thought that was not digital 853 00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:27,680 only, So you get a bunch of stuff, all digital. 854 00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:33,480 There's a $70.00 Labor Labor Abyssis, which is the Deluxe 855 00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:37,120 Abyss of Elucidations Collected edition, the Player's Guide, the 856 00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:39,840 soundtrack and everything.

There's and that is at 180 860 00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:54,360 dollars. There's a $580 tier, the Mother 861 00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:58,080 of Abominations. It is original signed artwork. 862 00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:03,440 And then there is a $980 tier which is AGM screen artwork 863 00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:05,640 original. I doubt those are even still 864 00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:10,400 available. Yeah, the mother of Abominations 865 00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:15,240 one is gone. The GM one is still available 866 00:53:15,240 --> 00:53:18,920 one of one. And then and then there is the 867 00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:27,560 1100 and $31,130. This is called VVVVVV period V 868 00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:29,640 period, V period, V period V period. 869 00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:34,520 This is everything. Plus the Abyss of Hallucinations 870 00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:39,560 collected VVVVV edition. So it's it's five VS, which is 5 871 00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:42,560 in Roman numerals. And what is what is that do you 872 00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:45,480 ask? Do they do they did Max. 873 00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:47,600 Oh oh oh and look at that. Look here at the bottom of the 874 00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:49,960 weekly scroll featuring an interview with Max Moon about 875 00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:51,960 Abyss of Hallucinations episode 31. 876 00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:55,040 Crazy that we're we're right there on the page. 877 00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:58,640 Also some talks with vintage RPG and unwinnable funeral rights. 878 00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:04,800 But the VVVVV edition? Let me scroll back up and we'll 879 00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:06,040 talk about that a little bit more. 880 00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:13,960 I better have got the I better get the Curse Edition too. 881 00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:18,440 So basically the VVVVV edition.

I think Max even talked about 887 00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:48,200 there being like specialized tools being made to do these. 888 00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:50,840 There's only going to be 5 copies that exist in the world 889 00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:55,200 of this and they are, like I said, they start at 11,000 and 890 00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:57,080 $30.00.

And I'll be right back and we'll 898 00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:31,400 finish this out. OK. 899 00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:35,600 I am back. Let's do some projects that 900 00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:40,920 haven't quite funded yet or are close or some newer ones and 901 00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:46,400 then we will kind of cruise through some other ones that 902 00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:47,720 we've already chatted about a little bit. 903 00:55:47,720 --> 00:55:49,640 So let's go with this right here. 904 00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:59,440 So this one looks really neat. This is strange. 905 00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:04,160 God from S Murphy. I believe it's Sean Murphy. 906 00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:08,520 Maybe I'm completely wrong on that. 907 00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:15,360 Yeah, so paranormal agents dealing with the supernatural 908 00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:20,040 creatures and phenomena. I love the the graphic there, 909 00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:23,560 really cool, like banners with some nice luciferian symbolism 910 00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:24,720 and stuff. Really great. 911 00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:29,520 This is at $830 of an 11177 dollar goal. 912 00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:34,200 It's got 17 days to go on 35 backers. 913 00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:36,280 This one looks really, really neat. 914 00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:39,480 Definitely needs a little bit more hype. 915 00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:45,720 I will say right off the bat, with a Kickstarter page, there's 916 00:56:45,720 --> 00:56:48,040 very, very little art on the Kickstarter page. 917 00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:52,360 I would highly recommend adding more art, whether we like it or 918 00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:56,200 not. Human beings like art, They 919 00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:58,600 really enjoy it. They like to see that it's going 920 00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:01,360 to look good. I have backed games that have 921 00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:05,360 very little art in it, that barely fun, and the games are 922 00:57:05,720 --> 00:57:08,520 fantastic. And I have backed games that 923 00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:13,880 have beautiful art in it and the games are sitting on my fucking 924 00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:16,400 shelf. So art sells books. 925 00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:18,600 I mean art gets people to back kick starters. 926 00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:23,760 So the fact that the graphic at the top just says Strange Squad, 927 00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:26,720 the kick starter on it, obvious, I think people are going to 928 00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:29,520 bounce off that already. And although it says the game 929 00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:31,160 really big, I love that that's there. 930 00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:35,000 But farther down it has the books and then pictures of all 931 00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:37,400 the books in it out of thrown that graphic way up at the top. 932 00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:41,560 And if there is already cover art for the book, man that piece 933 00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:44,320 should be big and bold somewhere on here. 934 00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:50,760 But outside of the graphics for the the the books here, there's 935 00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:52,320 not a single piece of art on the Kickstarter page. 936 00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:54,640 I highly recommend putting art on the Kickstarter page. 937 00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:59,840 People are, I want to say people are dumb, but we like shiny, 938 00:57:59,840 --> 00:58:02,040 bright things. So give us shiny, bright things. 939 00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:04,880 Put the beautiful art that you have on the cover in the 940 00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:08,520 Kickstarter page, get people to invested and then talk about the 941 00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:12,400 game. So but regardless, I mean you 942 00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:15,840 get me with the black, the red, and the evil looking symbols 943 00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:19,760 that pulls me in. So the game Strange Squad, 944 00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:23,920 members of the Agency of Aberrant Phenomena seek to solve 945 00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:29,560 conflicts involving aberrance or Abes, unnatural creatures and 946 00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:31,640 phenomena that defy conventional understanding. 947 00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:35,080 They work to uphold the Veil, a layer of secrecy that keeps the 948 00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:38,320 public from learning about these fragments of unreality for their 949 00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:41,000 sake And ours. Sounds very like hellboyish, you 950 00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:44,160 know what I mean? In play Strange Squad is a 951 00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:47,520 paranormal investigative game. Or the agents into a situation 952 00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:50,440 where an Aberrant is threatening the Veil and must make decisions 953 00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:52,360 on how to deal with it. I love that. 954 00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:57,880 Sounds like an awesome core. Features is a robust character 955 00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:00,800 creation system that enables you to create any kind of agent you 956 00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:03,880 can think of an easy to manage time mechanic that keeps 957 00:59:03,880 --> 00:59:07,080 assignments from stagnating. The longer mission goes on, the 958 00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:09,600 more complicated things become as the world moves in the 959 00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:12,000 background and then the stress system. 960 00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:15,280 An alternative to the traditional sanity mechanic that 961 00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:17,600 is often found within investigative supernatural 962 00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:20,360 games. Listen, I love insanity, 963 00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:21,600 insanity and all that kind of stuff. 964 00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:27,080 But you know, it's it's really nice not to use like the DSM 5 965 00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:30,120 or whatever we're on now to put insanity in your games. 966 00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:32,960 Make people do weird stuff and be weird. 967 00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:35,880 Don't model insanity after real life. 968 00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:41,480 A mental illness and this sounds like a really great way to do 969 00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:45,200 that, a stress mechanic as opposed to a sanity or insane 970 00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:49,160 mechanic. So looks really neat, it says. 971 00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:50,680 Want to take a peek at the game before you pledge? 972 00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:53,280 Check out the core rules here. You know where that should have 973 00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:56,280 been? Way at the top so that people 974 00:59:56,280 --> 00:59:59,160 can be like, oh cool, there's a quick start. 975 00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:05,000 So throw the cover art way at the top, say that there's a 976 01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:07,920 quick start, give a picture of everything that they're going to 977 01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:09,280 get, and then do all this other stuff. 978 01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:15,040 There's a breakdown here of oh, it says each book is a 979 01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:16,880 beautiful, high quality, staple bound booklet. 980 01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:19,280 They've been laid out by S Murphy in a clear elegant. 981 01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:22,120 Information focused design. All the books have already been 982 01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:24,720 fully written and edited and only need to go through minor 983 01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:26,720 proofing. Love that. 984 01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:30,400 Anyone that puts out a Kickstarter, the the 985 01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:32,880 Kickstarters that have taken the longest and failed the most are 986 01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:34,720 ones that have barely anything written. 987 01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:39,720 And then right after. And then something's going to 988 01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:42,000 come up in your life and it this is going to take a back burner 989 01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:43,160 and you're going to piss off that. 990 01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:46,120 There's there's big companies and small people out there that 991 01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:48,880 I will not back anymore for that exact reason. 992 01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:53,200 Because I'm tired of hearing the number of times that you hear 993 01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:54,800 nothing for four or five, six months. 994 01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:58,600 And then you get that inevitable e-mail that says I've been 995 01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:00,880 dreading, writing this e-mail, I'm sorry to tell you that I've 996 01:01:00,880 --> 01:01:03,160 had this massive life event happen and that's awful. 997 01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:04,600 I'm sorry that those things happen. 998 01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:08,840 But that is why it is much better to have most of your 999 01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:10,840 project done before you go into it. 1000 01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:14,760 Because the problem is that as soon as something happens and 1001 01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:17,720 you start to get behind, a lot of people start to feel buried 1002 01:01:17,720 --> 01:01:20,920 by it and it just downward spirals into a point where they 1003 01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:22,280 feel like they can't do anything at all. 1004 01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:24,960 And they even get to a point where they stop updating people 1005 01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:27,280 or disappear entirely, which just happened numerous times. 1006 01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:32,640 So personally, I am much more likely to fund a project where 1007 01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:34,840 at least most of the writing is done and it might just need 1008 01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:36,160 layout or proofing and stuff like that. 1009 01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:39,880 Then people that are like I've seen where it's like, here's our 1010 01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:42,840 timeline, we're going to finish writing by the end of next year. 1011 01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:45,640 Come on, I'll wait for it to hit the stores. 1012 01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:48,200 So it's really cool that this project has it already done and 1013 01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:49,440 just needs a little bit of proofing. 1014 01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:57,200 So there are a number of books. There is Strange Squad, the core 1015 01:01:57,200 --> 01:01:59,040 rules contains everything you need to play the game. 1016 01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:02,480 There is Buried in the quagmire which is a starter adventure. 1017 01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:06,520 There is Anti reality dump site which is an adventure concerning 1018 01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:09,760 an abandoned agency site. And then there's Code V which is 1019 01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:13,480 a post mortality adventure. So basically what you get is the 1020 01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:17,400 core book and three adventures. I think it's cool. 1021 01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:19,040 I think it's cool that they're all gonna be different scenes 1022 01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:20,360 with different covers and stuff like that. 1023 01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:25,920 I mean, depending on how big the core rules are though, like this 1024 01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:28,360 could have been just two, two books would have been cool. 1025 01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:30,560 I don't. I know that's it's more 1026 01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:34,680 logistics to, I think, to try to put together like a hardback 1027 01:02:34,680 --> 01:02:37,880 than it is to to maybe do scenes. 1028 01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:40,080 I do love that there's three different covers to them. 1029 01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:44,520 It's an interesting choice to have the core rules game and 1030 01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:47,360 then three separate scenes in it. 1031 01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:51,040 I mean, obviously I backed for it, but when you look at some of 1032 01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:52,760 the names associated with the two, you got Sean Murphy 1033 01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:59,720 themselves, you got Christian Sorel, the, the, oh, I used to 1034 01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:01,400 have Meat Castle stickers, like right there. 1035 01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:03,360 I must have moved them. Oh here there. 1036 01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:07,640 We love us some meat Castle here on the show. 1037 01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:10,240 So if Kirsten Terrell's associated with the project, you 1038 01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:12,960 know it's good. Especially if they're doing, 1039 01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:14,880 developing some dev editing on it. 1040 01:03:14,880 --> 01:03:17,880 So yeah, editing all the core rules and they did anti reality 1041 01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:19,840 dump site, maybe that's why, because the adventures are 1042 01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:21,520 written by their different peoples with different covers 1043 01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:22,760 and stuff. Clearly that's what's going on 1044 01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:30,080 here and Claymore did the cover and index art in the core rules, 1045 01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:32,320 so check out fist. I mean, there's so many great 1046 01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:34,560 names attached to this project. This project should be bigger 1047 01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:39,600 than it is. I don't remember seeing a lot of 1048 01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:44,640 stuff on this project prior to the project dropping. 1049 01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:49,200 I know that I had talked to Sean very briefly about spotlighting 1050 01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:52,480 this project, which we are not spotlighting the project, but I 1051 01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:56,920 do think that the page could be tweaked a little bit to 1052 01:03:56,920 --> 01:04:04,760 encourage more backers. And yeah, that's all I have to 1053 01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:06,360 say about that. It, it looks like a really, 1054 01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:07,920 really fantastic project. I backed it. 1055 01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:11,720 Let's talk about the tiers. You got the Rookie tier, which 1056 01:04:11,720 --> 01:04:17,360 is just digital copies of the books, the core of of 1057 01:04:17,360 --> 01:04:19,920 everything. Then you got the field Agent, 1058 01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:24,920 which is physical copies of Strange Squad and Burton and 1059 01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:27,440 Quagmire. You got the handler, I'm sorry, 1060 01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:33,960 and that is at 35 New Zealand dollars, which is 21 American 1061 01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:37,120 dollars. You got the handler at 55 New 1062 01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:39,280 Zealand dollars, which is 33 American dollars. 1063 01:04:40,040 --> 01:04:43,840 And that's when you get the book. 1064 01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:49,160 And Burton Quagmire and Anti Reality dump Site and Code V And 1065 01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:54,920 then at 120 New Zealand dollars or $71 you get everything as 1066 01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:57,960 well as a hand embroidered strange quad patch. 1067 01:04:58,440 --> 01:05:03,400 So I mean that's what I backed because New Zealand dollars are 1068 01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:05,880 way less than American dollars. So for 120 New Zealand dollars 1069 01:05:05,880 --> 01:05:08,720 it's only 70 bucks to get all four books in a patch. 1070 01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:10,560 I'll take that. I'm sure shipping will be, I 1071 01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:12,440 don't know, we'll see what shipping looks like. 1072 01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:21,160 UKEU Row now 19 New Zealand, 24 New Zealand, 32 New Zealand, so 1073 01:05:21,160 --> 01:05:23,920 and handled by Peregrine Cross. Plus they know what they're 1074 01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:25,920 doing. So looks like a really cool 1075 01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:27,120 project. I would definitely check this 1076 01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:30,360 out, especially if Christian Srel is involved in it. 1077 01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:34,520 You know it's going to be good. So really really neat, but this 1078 01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:37,160 is what I would call the definition of like maybe a 1079 01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:43,120 slightly snazzed up Kickstarter page would have helped get this 1080 01:05:43,120 --> 01:05:45,800 funded a little bit more. But with 17 days to go and 1081 01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:50,160 they're only about 300 ish dollars away from the goal, I 1082 01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:53,320 really I can see this getting funded and I again, I backed 1083 01:05:53,320 --> 01:05:56,520 this already. It sounds really neat and I'm 1084 01:05:56,520 --> 01:05:59,400 excited to to see more of what happens with it. 1085 01:06:05,970 --> 01:06:07,730 What else we got here? Oh, this one just dropped. 1086 01:06:07,730 --> 01:06:11,690 I'm going to go through some of these a little bit quicker now, 1087 01:06:11,690 --> 01:06:15,250 so this is the with sailing of Klaus Manor, a horrific holiday 1088 01:06:15,250 --> 01:06:18,210 tabletop role-playing game by the award-winning team of Mike 1089 01:06:18,210 --> 01:06:22,090 Martin's Brian Sago and Michael Van Vliet. 1090 01:06:23,290 --> 01:06:29,330 So this is at $3400 on a $5000 goal. 75 backers with 19 days to 1091 01:06:29,330 --> 01:06:34,600 go just recently dropped. This is being put out with plus 1092 01:06:34,600 --> 01:06:41,000 one Exp with Tony Vicente. I believe, if I'm not wrong, 1093 01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:43,240 that they're primarily doing distribution. 1094 01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:45,720 Yeah, product management, graphic design, support, 1095 01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:50,760 handling and fulfillment is all through Tony from plus one who 1096 01:06:50,760 --> 01:06:52,760 recently also started the RPG Zing Club. 1097 01:06:53,280 --> 01:06:55,600 Definitely check that out. So what is this that we're 1098 01:06:55,600 --> 01:06:57,680 looking at? This is a Christmas that almost 1099 01:06:57,680 --> 01:07:02,320 wasn't amid 4 boating war and festering industry. 1100 01:07:02,320 --> 01:07:04,000 The North Pole reaches a breaking point. 1101 01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:07,000 A lavish lifestyle and the demands of an exploding world 1102 01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:09,640 population of pussy, and have pushed the inhabitants of Klaus 1103 01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:13,800 Manor to embrace dark and arcane forms of the holiday spirit. 1104 01:07:14,560 --> 01:07:16,880 All too quickly, the Manor is becoming at the epicenter of 1105 01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:18,760 Bedlam. Unbeknownst to most of our 1106 01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:21,840 world's inhabitants, there might never have been Christmas again 1107 01:07:21,840 --> 01:07:24,400 if not for the patience and cunning of the Klaus family's 1108 01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:31,760 servant staff. Unsung valets of joy and gimmu, 1109 01:07:32,440 --> 01:07:38,720 like kite, gimmu, kamuchla kite, kamuchla, kite in the thick of 1110 01:07:38,720 --> 01:07:41,040 winter. And so here you are, days before 1111 01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:43,760 Christmas, and all through the house, problems are stirring and 1112 01:07:43,760 --> 01:07:46,640 strange things are roused. Love that. 1113 01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:47,760 That's some great writing right there. 1114 01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:55,240 So again, my piece of art at the top, some really big bold 1115 01:07:55,240 --> 01:08:00,040 writing picture of the the book and what you're going to get 1116 01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:03,320 right there. Nice graphic with art all the 1117 01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:08,960 way through breakdown of of what it's like, a really great 1118 01:08:08,960 --> 01:08:10,280 graphic of what you're going to get. 1119 01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:12,000 This is a well put together Kickstarter page. 1120 01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:15,960 So this is, this is what I'm talking about compared to the 1121 01:08:15,960 --> 01:08:19,200 last one. So visually, keep people moving 1122 01:08:19,200 --> 01:08:21,399 forward through the art on a page. 1123 01:08:21,399 --> 01:08:23,040 So what is this? It's a tip it off role-playing 1124 01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:26,120 game for two to six players, where you take on the role of 1125 01:08:26,120 --> 01:08:28,520 mortal servant staff to the immortal Klaus family. 1126 01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:31,600 At the dawn of the 20th century, a time of up people across the 1127 01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:38,479 world, Santa toys with Dark summoning to hasten delivery 1128 01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:41,040 capabilities. Lady Klaus operates a secret 1129 01:08:41,040 --> 01:08:43,359 slaughterhouse packaging. Magical Meat. 1130 01:08:43,359 --> 01:08:46,760 Santa's brother rekindles an ancient war between humanity and 1131 01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:51,520 elvindom, and his children merge their legendary exploits with 1132 01:08:51,520 --> 01:08:54,319 the Yuletide myth as they vie for prominence. 1133 01:08:55,319 --> 01:08:57,800 Really neat. It's built on Trophy Dark, one 1134 01:08:58,120 --> 01:08:59,279 of my favorite games of all time. 1135 01:08:59,279 --> 01:09:01,000 I absolutely love it. I do like it better than Trophy 1136 01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:03,680 gold. Trophy Dark is better. 1137 01:09:03,760 --> 01:09:05,880 I like it better The with Sailing escalates these 1138 01:09:05,880 --> 01:09:09,160 scenarios and more based on car draws and the staff's own 1139 01:09:09,160 --> 01:09:14,640 tribulations and politicking. So horror Christmas built on 1140 01:09:14,640 --> 01:09:18,800 Trophy Dark where you are the servants in the House of the 1141 01:09:18,800 --> 01:09:25,760 Klauses who are toying with the dark and the arcane That sounds 1142 01:09:25,760 --> 01:09:28,080 fun as fuck to me. I hate Christmas personally. 1143 01:09:28,319 --> 01:09:30,680 So if I'm going to do it, let's do Evil Christmas. 1144 01:09:33,399 --> 01:09:35,840 The people involved with it, Mike Martin's Brian Sago. 1145 01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:37,120 Michael Van Fleet. Tony Vascenda. 1146 01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:41,600 They've all done contributions to trophy Brenda Woodbay Butter 1147 01:09:41,600 --> 01:09:45,720 Princess Sunken Devil, Aim For me, Die Grave Robert Die Public 1148 01:09:45,720 --> 01:09:51,040 Access, Silk Versus and then obviously plus one XP which you 1149 01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:55,960 know, plus one XP. So really interesting game here. 1150 01:09:56,760 --> 01:10:00,240 Excited to get it. This is interesting and this is 1151 01:10:00,240 --> 01:10:04,440 an interesting way to do this because when you compare, so 1152 01:10:04,440 --> 01:10:07,600 this is the Christmas adventure as we go into the Christmas 1153 01:10:07,600 --> 01:10:08,800 season. So you're not. 1154 01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:11,320 I don't think you're gonna get this adventure by Christmas. 1155 01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:16,680 That would be insane. I'm. 1156 01:10:16,800 --> 01:10:20,080 I'm gonna Scroll down to to see what the timeline looks like. 1157 01:10:20,600 --> 01:10:24,880 Design timeline, play testing, the final writing, final art and 1158 01:10:24,880 --> 01:10:26,880 layout. See, they're at the point where 1159 01:10:27,160 --> 01:10:29,840 it's already play tested, designed and in final layout. 1160 01:10:30,680 --> 01:10:36,000 That's what I'm talking about. That's that's. 1161 01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:37,520 Where you should be when you drop a project? 1162 01:10:41,160 --> 01:10:43,080 No way. OK, so this is what the timeline 1163 01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:45,440 says. Funding finishes December 1st. 1164 01:10:45,440 --> 01:10:48,520 Digital release December 3rd. Backer kit opens December 8th. 1165 01:10:49,040 --> 01:10:55,080 Printing by December 15th. Receive the prints by New Year's 1166 01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:58,840 Day? No, they receive the prints by 1167 01:10:58,840 --> 01:11:01,240 New Year's Day. Backer kit closes January 3rd. 1168 01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:05,360 It's shipped January 6th and we should get it kind of in 1169 01:11:05,360 --> 01:11:06,880 January. That's cool. 1170 01:11:07,440 --> 01:11:09,720 I if you started in October around Christmas time, I think 1171 01:11:09,720 --> 01:11:11,640 it'd be a little different. This is what I'm talking about, 1172 01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:13,280 like starting a project around the holidays. 1173 01:11:13,280 --> 01:11:14,640 So it's interesting. Like, I know there's some 1174 01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:18,040 projects that came out for Halloween, but they did it in 1175 01:11:18,040 --> 01:11:20,560 the summer, so that would be delivered by Halloween. 1176 01:11:20,840 --> 01:11:24,680 But I feel like it and I love the idea behind that, that you 1177 01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:28,520 would make sure that they have the game to play on Halloween. 1178 01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:33,600 But I think backer brains don't work smart that way. 1179 01:11:34,120 --> 01:11:37,000 That actually, like putting the project out around Halloween 1180 01:11:37,160 --> 01:11:39,280 will get people more in the spirit of Halloween. 1181 01:11:39,520 --> 01:11:42,160 So they'll get it delivered, obviously, maybe six months 1182 01:11:42,160 --> 01:11:45,240 later. But if you want more backers 1183 01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:47,640 backing, I think you'd do it when the season comes. 1184 01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:51,920 And even though to me Christmas season does start till December 1185 01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:54,240 1st, there ain't no fucking trees in this house. 1186 01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:56,520 This is around Christmas season for people. 1187 01:11:56,520 --> 01:11:58,960 So this, this dropping the beginning of November is great. 1188 01:11:59,200 --> 01:12:01,520 It would be awesome if this actually dropped by Christmas, 1189 01:12:01,520 --> 01:12:03,800 but the fact that it'll drop within a month of Christmas is 1190 01:12:03,800 --> 01:12:06,360 really, really neat. People still be in the Christmas 1191 01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:08,160 spirit. Whatever. 1192 01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:10,760 People still have their trees up by the time this gets delivered, 1193 01:12:10,760 --> 01:12:14,720 if it goes to, if it goes to to to print the way it sounds 1194 01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:17,480 anyway. So getting into the more of 1195 01:12:17,480 --> 01:12:22,320 what's going on as far as tears and and and everything like 1196 01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:24,760 that. So there is a benevolent belief, 1197 01:12:24,760 --> 01:12:27,360 which is just give them money. There's digital delights, 15 1198 01:12:27,360 --> 01:12:32,040 bucks, you get the PDF, $30 you get a physical copy, $45.00, you 1199 01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:36,960 get PDF, the book and the set of family cards for Play Aid and a 1200 01:12:36,960 --> 01:12:38,560 special invitation at Klaus Manor. 1201 01:12:39,400 --> 01:12:45,000 And then there's $130.00 Creator Caboodle, which is you get most 1202 01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:47,160 of the games that I had, I had just talked about. 1203 01:12:47,560 --> 01:12:54,640 So you actually get where we at the Creator Kaboodle. 1204 01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:58,520 You get the heartfelt things. You get the PDF, you get the you 1205 01:12:58,520 --> 01:13:00,760 get a Klaus family deck. You get the physical copy of the 1206 01:13:00,760 --> 01:13:03,680 book, the invitations. And then you get a bunch of the 1207 01:13:03,680 --> 01:13:06,840 games that the creators have written otherwise sunk in. 1208 01:13:07,840 --> 01:13:09,520 The drowning scriptures, the sunken scene. 1209 01:13:09,520 --> 01:13:11,240 Butter Princess Dygrave Rubber Dye. 1210 01:13:11,240 --> 01:13:14,400 And then you get Lord Klaus's secret stash. 1211 01:13:14,400 --> 01:13:18,720 Beardbomb clearly from Tony and then harrowing holiday 1212 01:13:18,720 --> 01:13:22,760 soundtrack. So there's only 13 left because 1213 01:13:22,760 --> 01:13:24,040 there's only twenty of those total. 1214 01:13:25,840 --> 01:13:28,720 I'll never guess what I backed. So that's really cool. 1215 01:13:28,720 --> 01:13:31,680 So basically a horror Christmas adventure. 1216 01:13:31,800 --> 01:13:36,840 Sounds really neat. Excited for that one that needs 1217 01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:38,680 some more funding. So let's get on that. 1218 01:13:40,240 --> 01:13:42,240 Again, that is the with sailing of Cost Manor. 1219 01:13:42,400 --> 01:13:43,960 Let's talk about this one. Really excited for this. 1220 01:13:44,160 --> 01:13:48,720 We recently went over Helmight from Gabriel Caroga and this is 1221 01:13:48,720 --> 01:13:51,600 Sigil, the mirrored reality. An exciting card game about a 1222 01:13:51,600 --> 01:13:54,920 secret arcane war set in Hell Nights Heavy Metal Biker 1223 01:13:54,920 --> 01:13:59,480 universe. It's at $2400 of a $5000 goal on 1224 01:13:59,480 --> 01:14:02,000 44 backers with 30 days to go, so just about halfway. 1225 01:14:03,080 --> 01:14:07,400 Definitely want to see more of this and this universe, so you 1226 01:14:07,400 --> 01:14:10,840 should definitely back it. Hell Knight is fantastic. 1227 01:14:10,840 --> 01:14:13,680 It's one of the highest rated games that we have done here on 1228 01:14:13,680 --> 01:14:15,480 the show, just really, really well done. 1229 01:14:16,080 --> 01:14:18,200 And this is a card game built in that world. 1230 01:14:18,200 --> 01:14:21,560 So technically not a tabletop role-playing game, but still 1231 01:14:21,560 --> 01:14:23,760 associated with that world and I would really like to see it 1232 01:14:23,760 --> 01:14:29,000 happen. So Sigil, the main reality is a 1233 01:14:29,000 --> 01:14:30,920 playing card game. Sidwell for two to five players 1234 01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:35,000 in which you play part of Dark Sorcerer's engaged in Arcane War 1235 01:14:35,200 --> 01:14:38,160 set in the heavy set in the 80s. Heavy Metal Biker universe of 1236 01:14:38,160 --> 01:14:40,680 Hell Knight. There's a picture of one of the 1237 01:14:40,680 --> 01:14:41,880 cards here. Love that. 1238 01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:44,680 The page has a lot of art throughout, which is exactly 1239 01:14:44,680 --> 01:14:48,160 what you want to see. Gosh, almost a little bit too 1240 01:14:48,160 --> 01:14:49,920 much in him. So the standard Sigil mirrored 1241 01:14:49,920 --> 01:14:52,480 Reality deck has 66 poker sized cards. 1242 01:14:54,480 --> 01:14:57,200 They feature Cycle Pops, an original mechanic that serves as 1243 01:14:57,200 --> 01:14:59,800 an additional casting cost that must be performed theatrically 1244 01:14:59,800 --> 01:15:02,840 by the player itself. Cycle Pops are informed below 1245 01:15:02,840 --> 01:15:05,400 the title of each card. Some of them are easy to do, 1246 01:15:05,720 --> 01:15:08,120 others demand a heavy toll. Amiraquar Considerable effort 1247 01:15:08,120 --> 01:15:10,880 from the player. This provides a lot of fun and 1248 01:15:10,880 --> 01:15:15,680 bizarre moments as each sorcerer acts out the cycle pomp of their 1249 01:15:15,680 --> 01:15:17,440 spells to cause havoc at the table. 1250 01:15:18,080 --> 01:15:21,320 There's a YouTube video you can watch of that. 1251 01:15:21,320 --> 01:15:25,600 There's an intro to Sigil the mirrored reality, and each card 1252 01:15:25,600 --> 01:15:28,080 in your hand can be transformed into a sigil which will produce 1253 01:15:28,080 --> 01:15:31,080 the necessary focus to summon otherworldly beings and cast 1254 01:15:31,080 --> 01:15:33,440 curses. So this looks really great. 1255 01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:40,320 It's definitely a fourth wall breaking like Sorcerer Arcane 1256 01:15:40,320 --> 01:15:45,840 Card Battle game which sounds really fucking cool and there's 1257 01:15:45,840 --> 01:15:47,880 an expansion that comes with part of this as well. 1258 01:15:48,160 --> 01:15:55,720 So it looks like I said it looks really neat and I'm just 1259 01:15:55,720 --> 01:15:57,560 scrolling through to see more about what's going on. 1260 01:15:59,200 --> 01:16:02,320 Oh oh look at that. Oh look check out the reviews 1261 01:16:02,320 --> 01:16:04,960 for previous games. Hell Knight by the weekly 1262 01:16:04,960 --> 01:16:06,160 scroll. That's us. 1263 01:16:06,240 --> 01:16:08,800 We did that not too long ago. Hell Knight, War Blind and 1264 01:16:08,800 --> 01:16:11,360 Narrow City are are great. Definitely want to check out all 1265 01:16:11,360 --> 01:16:13,200 the rest of their games. Nope. 1266 01:16:13,440 --> 01:16:15,560 AI free which is great. So what are the pledges here? 1267 01:16:15,560 --> 01:16:20,560 So for $24.00 you get beyond the Gates of hell expansion which is 1268 01:16:20,560 --> 01:16:23,280 24 bucks. So first tier is the expansion 1269 01:16:23,280 --> 01:16:30,480 to the game because the regular game is $26 and that sigil the 1270 01:16:30,480 --> 01:16:33,240 mirrored reality core deck, which is again, it's $26. 1271 01:16:33,800 --> 01:16:37,800 You can get hell night for $35 or you can get the Gemini 1272 01:16:37,800 --> 01:16:40,960 bundle, the core deck plus expansion for $48. 1273 01:16:44,520 --> 01:16:46,920 Is that what I did? I don't remember what I did. 1274 01:16:48,320 --> 01:16:50,360 I mean, I know I got both, but I don't remember if I did one and 1275 01:16:50,360 --> 01:16:57,440 then did an add on. So yeah, this one looks really 1276 01:16:57,440 --> 01:16:59,240 neat. It definitely needs some more 1277 01:16:59,240 --> 01:17:01,760 support. It's about halfway to its goal 1278 01:17:01,760 --> 01:17:05,040 of $5000. I know that sometimes, like card 1279 01:17:05,040 --> 01:17:12,120 games, they're harder to find a little bit, but this one looks 1280 01:17:12,120 --> 01:17:13,760 really neat. The art style looks really neat. 1281 01:17:13,760 --> 01:17:17,040 If it's set in hell my world I'm super excited to play more of 1282 01:17:17,040 --> 01:17:19,640 that. So you definitely want to check 1283 01:17:19,640 --> 01:17:23,440 this out and to get the regular deck and the Gemini bundle and 1284 01:17:23,440 --> 01:17:27,200 it's only $48. I mean, you know why wouldn't 1285 01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:29,920 you just get both. So it would make sense to just 1286 01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:32,680 do that and I'm sure there's more add-ons that can be done as 1287 01:17:32,680 --> 01:17:35,120 well. So Sigil the mirrored reality, 1288 01:17:35,120 --> 01:17:37,320 definitely excited for that. Definitely hope that funds. 1289 01:17:37,360 --> 01:17:40,240 So let's let's try to get that funded a little bit more. 1290 01:17:40,240 --> 01:17:47,520 What else we have here that this is 1 Rob up here in about 15 1291 01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:48,640 minutes. So some of these I'm gonna go 1292 01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:51,920 through a little bit quicker. I I said that four of them ago 1293 01:17:51,920 --> 01:17:54,240 and I'm still not going through any quicker so that's just me 1294 01:17:54,240 --> 01:17:58,560 and my ADHD Goblin mail a third party scene for Troika. 1295 01:17:59,480 --> 01:18:02,480 This is from Evelyn Monroe Moreau. 1296 01:18:04,160 --> 01:18:06,160 You, you know Evelyn Merle, Her art. 1297 01:18:06,560 --> 01:18:08,880 Their art is fantastic. It's in a lot of stuff. 1298 01:18:09,240 --> 01:18:12,320 They did a lot of stuff like Sky Realms from Eco, really, really 1299 01:18:12,320 --> 01:18:13,800 cool stuff. There's a third party scene for 1300 01:18:13,800 --> 01:18:18,520 Troika, it's way funded. It's $64145.00 on 18111, which 1301 01:18:18,520 --> 01:18:21,000 means it's probably not normal. Yeah, 2500 Canadian. 1302 01:18:21,360 --> 01:18:23,920 I can we get more Canadian creators? 1303 01:18:23,920 --> 01:18:27,560 Because Canadian shipping to us is not that bad and the Canadian 1304 01:18:27,560 --> 01:18:31,240 dollar is worth less than ours. So we get stuff for cheap, so 1305 01:18:31,480 --> 01:18:33,120 that would be great. But goblin Mail? 1306 01:18:35,200 --> 01:18:37,400 Goblin Mail is a Troika compatible adventure about a 1307 01:18:37,400 --> 01:18:40,440 chaotic post office run by goblins full of whimsy that's 1308 01:18:40,440 --> 01:18:42,400 infested with gremlins and all sorts of freaky little 1309 01:18:42,400 --> 01:18:44,600 creatures. Navigate through the chaotic 1310 01:18:44,600 --> 01:18:47,880 work environment of goblin bureaucracy, bureaucracy, and 1311 01:18:47,880 --> 01:18:50,560 meet weird citizens from all over the spheres in search of 1312 01:18:50,560 --> 01:18:53,240 your lost package. Unveil A mysterious conspiracy 1313 01:18:53,240 --> 01:18:58,280 of the postal industry? Wait in line, find lost packages 1314 01:18:58,280 --> 01:19:00,880 of elders, potential to get beat up and rob blind by mail. 1315 01:19:00,880 --> 01:19:04,520 Bandits fill a form of complaint and finally retrieve what you 1316 01:19:04,520 --> 01:19:07,840 came for. So there's a list of staff at 1317 01:19:07,840 --> 01:19:12,040 the post office, a list of the contents, 12 room locations, 6 1318 01:19:12,040 --> 01:19:16,400 patrons to work for, gorgeous and whimsy illustrations by 1319 01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:18,600 Evelyn Monroe. Again, Evelyn does really 1320 01:19:18,600 --> 01:19:21,320 gorgeous, neat, cool art. Definitely. 1321 01:19:22,400 --> 01:19:26,560 Again, if you own a Zine in the TGRPC space, there's a good 1322 01:19:26,560 --> 01:19:29,720 chance that our might be in it. There's many flavorful tables, a 1323 01:19:29,720 --> 01:19:33,040 bunch of new creatures, and then there's the Zine itself. 1324 01:19:33,400 --> 01:19:35,920 It's 30 to 40 pages with colored cover and black and white 1325 01:19:35,920 --> 01:19:39,920 interior right at the end of the campaign to get the plaintext 1326 01:19:39,920 --> 01:19:41,240 PDF. Love that. 1327 01:19:42,160 --> 01:19:45,120 So you can get right in a map of the thing in a map of the post 1328 01:19:45,120 --> 01:19:46,280 office. You can get right into playing 1329 01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:51,400 stretch goals. 4K is interior cover print, 5K is more art and 1330 01:19:51,400 --> 01:19:53,000 six K is increased contributor pay. 1331 01:19:53,000 --> 01:19:56,320 I love when a stretch goal is people get paid more. 1332 01:19:56,840 --> 01:20:00,960 Gotta love to see that. Evelyn Moreau is illustrator, 1333 01:20:00,960 --> 01:20:04,200 Sophia Ramos is a Brazilian writer and game designer, and by 1334 01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:09,040 day Luna P works as a writer and designer and those are the three 1335 01:20:09,040 --> 01:20:14,560 that are part of the project. So looks really neat. 1336 01:20:14,600 --> 01:20:16,360 Again, I love when projects are already funded. 1337 01:20:17,720 --> 01:20:21,680 Our is already done. This is a fun, cute, whimsical 1338 01:20:21,680 --> 01:20:23,560 adventure for Troika. Gotta love that. 1339 01:20:23,800 --> 01:20:27,000 And it's almost reached, I think, all of the stretch goals 1340 01:20:27,280 --> 01:20:28,880 already it's passed. All the stretch goals. 1341 01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:30,240 It's already there. But it's cool. 1342 01:20:30,320 --> 01:20:31,600 You should back. It looks neat. 1343 01:20:31,600 --> 01:20:32,880 Sounds like you'll get it pretty quickly. 1344 01:20:33,760 --> 01:20:35,120 Really excited for that one. That one's cool. 1345 01:20:38,240 --> 01:20:44,360 Here's one yeah, fantasy infrastructure and bureaucracy. 1346 01:20:44,640 --> 01:20:47,320 Gotta love that this is really neat. 1347 01:20:47,400 --> 01:20:51,080 This is spectacle since we're on Troika Spectacle, Science 1348 01:20:51,080 --> 01:20:54,240 Fantasy gladiatorial mayhem. For Troika, an all in one 1349 01:20:54,240 --> 01:20:58,000 adventure setting bestiary and character collection for running 1350 01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:01,080 games in an Alien Overlords merciless fighting pit. 1351 01:21:01,760 --> 01:21:07,480 This is at $3034 on a $3000 goal with 101 backers and 17 days to 1352 01:21:07,480 --> 01:21:09,600 go. So this literally just funded. 1353 01:21:09,640 --> 01:21:14,840 I saw it fun this morning so this looks really, really neat. 1354 01:21:16,120 --> 01:21:20,440 The the graphic here on the front gives you some of the 1355 01:21:21,040 --> 01:21:23,280 picture of the cover art, but not the entire picture of the 1356 01:21:23,280 --> 01:21:24,320 cover art. I don't know. 1357 01:21:24,520 --> 01:21:28,560 So again, I wish the picture of the cover art was displayed more 1358 01:21:28,560 --> 01:21:31,120 prominently, especially right here at the top, as opposed to 1359 01:21:31,120 --> 01:21:33,840 this part that says spectacle should be the cover art right 1360 01:21:33,840 --> 01:21:36,040 there because that would really pull people in. 1361 01:21:36,040 --> 01:21:38,760 The art is absolutely stunning throughout, so you don't get to 1362 01:21:38,760 --> 01:21:44,640 see it super well, but it definitely has this very like 1363 01:21:44,640 --> 01:21:48,760 golden age. OK, I say golden age, but I know 1364 01:21:48,760 --> 01:21:51,200 that there are ages in comics so I'm not sure exactly which age. 1365 01:21:51,200 --> 01:21:52,720 Golden age, Silver age, whatever. 1366 01:21:52,960 --> 01:21:56,040 This old school, very comic style art with that is 1367 01:21:56,040 --> 01:21:59,960 absolutely stunning. So this has so many eyes. 1368 01:21:59,960 --> 01:22:05,760 A sphere propels itself through spectacle, is an all in one all 1369 01:22:05,760 --> 01:22:07,840 in one world setting. Adventure hook and background 1370 01:22:07,840 --> 01:22:11,800 compendium for Troika Inspired by classic comic book premise. 1371 01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:15,040 Your PCs have been kidnapped by an insane alien overlord and 1372 01:22:15,040 --> 01:22:18,880 forced into gladiatorial combat. Craft your character from AD 66. 1373 01:22:18,880 --> 01:22:20,360 Table of unique backgrounds and protest. 1374 01:22:20,360 --> 01:22:24,200 Step forth into battle against other PCs, sinister alien 1375 01:22:24,200 --> 01:22:27,280 threats, and perhaps even the omnipresent I itself. 1376 01:22:27,280 --> 01:22:29,240 Winning your freedom is only the beginning. 1377 01:22:29,240 --> 01:22:32,320 So spectacle is written by Seth Ian with our work by Mark 1378 01:22:32,320 --> 01:22:35,560 Conway, editing by Luke Gearing, and layout by Tony Jaguar. 1379 01:22:35,600 --> 01:22:43,560 I mean, come the fuck on like that, that that that team of 1380 01:22:43,560 --> 01:22:46,320 people there and it's just funded today. 1381 01:22:46,320 --> 01:22:49,680 Come on, like the cover art is fucking fantastic. 1382 01:22:49,680 --> 01:22:52,840 Luke Gearing Everyone knows fucking Luke Gearing Tony Jaguar 1383 01:22:52,840 --> 01:22:55,520 does great work. This should definitely be bigger 1384 01:22:55,520 --> 01:22:58,240 than it is. And then Dye Sugars is running 1385 01:22:58,240 --> 01:23:00,240 the project now or it's under under their name. 1386 01:23:00,400 --> 01:23:02,480 But also I know did graphic design and stuff in this as 1387 01:23:02,480 --> 01:23:08,120 well.

Cornea is $30. 1396 01:23:37,640 --> 01:23:42,640 You get a deluxe Singer Stitch copy on higher grade paper with 1397 01:23:42,640 --> 01:23:46,040 the included adventure by Luke Gearing, as well as the PDF and 1398 01:23:46,040 --> 01:23:48,240 everything. There's the Arena Spectator 1399 01:23:48,240 --> 01:23:51,520 which is 6/6 copies. So that's the obviously that's 1400 01:23:51,520 --> 01:23:55,360 the, you know, shopped here. And then there's the all seeing 1401 01:23:55,360 --> 01:23:57,520 Eye.

There are some some stretch 1405 01:24:10,240 --> 01:24:13,120 goals, but we'll see how far they get with that. 1406 01:24:13,120 --> 01:24:17,240 There's an adventure at $4500, stickers at 6000, and then go 1407 01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:19,920 beyond that. So fulfillment PDFs are through, 1408 01:24:19,920 --> 01:24:22,480 drive through, blah blah blah. But these will be printed by 1409 01:24:22,480 --> 01:24:27,360 LFOSR, which haven't seen a lot from LFOSR recently. 1410 01:24:27,360 --> 01:24:28,920 Really hope to see a lot more from them soon. 1411 01:24:29,600 --> 01:24:31,400 And then distributed through Space Penguin. 1412 01:24:31,520 --> 01:24:33,520 Space Penguin popping up everywhere because they're 1413 01:24:33,520 --> 01:24:36,720 awesome. But that's a great crew right 1414 01:24:36,720 --> 01:24:40,200 there and it already lists the shipping cost for most I I'm 1415 01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:45,160 sure for for the most part. Obviously things will change but 1416 01:24:45,160 --> 01:24:47,440 it's relatively inexpensive. I mean even if you go all the 1417 01:24:47,440 --> 01:24:50,040 way to the the highest tier it's only $12.00 or $24.00. 1418 01:24:50,320 --> 01:24:54,920 So excited to see the higher quality Zine put out by LFOSR 1419 01:24:56,000 --> 01:25:01,080 and and obviously if Space Penguins involved you get that 1420 01:25:01,080 --> 01:25:06,880 distribution nice and clean. So really cool project from from 1421 01:25:06,880 --> 01:25:09,080 Seth. Definitely go check that out 1422 01:25:09,080 --> 01:25:10,800 right now. Spectacle. 1423 01:25:11,160 --> 01:25:13,040 Science Fantasy.

What else we got here that's 1426 01:25:25,600 --> 01:25:30,160 probably about it. I can maybe do. 1427 01:25:30,600 --> 01:25:32,400 There's some. I mean the Invisible Sun Return 1428 01:25:32,400 --> 01:25:34,080 of the Black Cube from Monty Cook Games. 1429 01:25:35,520 --> 01:25:37,040 I don't even need to say anything about that. 1430 01:25:37,040 --> 01:25:38,360 It's back to like a bajillion dollars. 1431 01:25:38,440 --> 01:25:41,080 A half $1,000,000 already. I don't need to say shit about 1432 01:25:41,080 --> 01:25:44,240 that. Do I have any other ones that 1433 01:25:44,240 --> 01:25:47,160 are? Well, I mean, obviously there's 1434 01:25:47,160 --> 01:25:49,520 this one, but you'll see more about this sooner than later. 1435 01:25:51,640 --> 01:25:53,400 This is forbidden. PS The End Times Edition. 1436 01:25:53,960 --> 01:25:57,120 Tip it off Pro Playing game.

So there's three total books you 1456 01:27:14,800 --> 01:27:19,080 can get from this. So for 15 pounds you can get 1457 01:27:19,080 --> 01:27:25,480 just the digital everything. For 18 you can get all the PDFs. 1458 01:27:26,040 --> 01:27:29,720 Plus you get Doomsday. Add your name to the Doomsday 1459 01:27:29,720 --> 01:27:32,400 book and the forbidden end times. 1460 01:27:33,440 --> 01:27:39,040 At 20 pounds you get the collection of Death 25 you get 1461 01:27:39,040 --> 01:27:41,240 the physical soft cover of the end times. 1462 01:27:42,120 --> 01:27:44,520 At 35 you get the physical soft cover. 1463 01:27:44,520 --> 01:27:46,160 All in, just too many fucking tears. 1464 01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:52,080 At 41 you get the physical hardcover basic which will not 1465 01:27:52,080 --> 01:27:54,240 be there. There will be some stock after, 1466 01:27:54,240 --> 01:27:57,200 but they're not going to keep this in stock too much £51 1467 01:27:57,200 --> 01:28:03,880 hardcover all in and then for £777.00 you get a lot of a lot, 1468 01:28:03,880 --> 01:28:06,080 a lot, a lot. If it wasn't quite that high I 1469 01:28:06,080 --> 01:28:08,360 would have snagged it. But it's it's signed everything, 1470 01:28:08,360 --> 01:28:10,960 it's four of everything. It's just it's it's insane. 1471 01:28:11,320 --> 01:28:20,800 So highest reasonable tier is £51.00 or $63 hardcover all in 1472 01:28:20,800 --> 01:28:23,400 for everything and then you get PDFs of everything and then 1473 01:28:23,400 --> 01:28:25,160 everything.

I think that's pretty much it. 1478 01:28:36,960 --> 01:28:40,680 Unless anyone has some some things that I'm missing, that'll 1479 01:28:40,680 --> 01:28:42,360 probably be the last one I really talked about because 1480 01:28:42,360 --> 01:28:44,640 everything else that I could talk about is already funded. 1481 01:28:44,640 --> 01:28:48,400 It's already, it's like 30, forty $50,000 on a bunch of 1482 01:28:48,400 --> 01:28:51,280 these. So And there's only one or two 1483 01:28:51,280 --> 01:28:58,120 that I haven't really looked at. Yeah, that's that's got 30 grand 1484 01:28:58,120 --> 01:29:01,760 already on it. That's got 78 grand on it. 1485 01:29:01,760 --> 01:29:03,640 Yeah, I don't need to, I don't even need to talk about some of 1486 01:29:03,640 --> 01:29:04,960 these. So that's it. 1487 01:29:05,120 --> 01:29:09,520 That's our that's our Kickstarter roundup. 1488 01:29:14,800 --> 01:29:19,960 Been thinking about doing the thing about getting back into 1489 01:29:19,960 --> 01:29:21,480 this a little bit. We're definitely not going to 1490 01:29:21,480 --> 01:29:23,240 talk about it every week. We already run long. 1491 01:29:23,240 --> 01:29:25,880 I don't know how we used to do this for 45 minutes every week 1492 01:29:25,880 --> 01:29:27,680 and not hit three hour episodes, but we used to. 1493 01:29:27,680 --> 01:29:30,720 Maybe we just don't shut the fuck up now, but there's a good 1494 01:29:30,720 --> 01:29:33,960 chance that I'll probably start doing this once a month. 1495 01:29:34,360 --> 01:29:39,320 We'll just do a a a monthly, you know, crowdfunding, you know, 1496 01:29:39,320 --> 01:29:42,920 Project Spotlight.
