Space Cadets: Away Missions has launched on Kickstarter

Done, looks awesome!

I am so stoked for you, Al. I probably showed the KS page to everyone I know today.

Backing once I grab my credit card upstairs.

Edit: Done. Good luck with the kickstarter, it's looking good so far. Would be sweet to get the other two base character models.

I backed this for two copies. My brother will love this too.

Best comment I've heard about the game: "10/10 would fuck"

The BBG entry mentions scenarios linked in a campaign. Do actions in one scenario carry over to another in any way? Do characters level up or anything?

Not saying it needs any of these things, just curious.

I'm going to answer this with a quote from the Scenario Book:

"Each scenario depicts a momentous event in the history of the Space War fought by the Rocket Patrol against the Alien star-slavers. The missions are each stand-alone operations. Though
they may be attempted in any order, players are encouraged to follow the chronicle of the Space War in historical sequence for maximum immersion. Based on extensive research conducted by the designers, it has been determined that the challenges faced by the Rocket Patrol will feel significantly more realistic if they unfold in proper context. Also, if you jump ahead there are storyline spoilers.

The first few scenarios have the fewest game mechanics, and new players are advised to start at the start. Fair warning: only the starter scenario is easy. The rest were designed with professional space adventurers in mind. Because the Rocket Patrol only accepts the best."

Love that bit:

Woohoo! I'm in.

Another sci-fi cooperative. Why would I want this? Why would anyone? Are hobbyists not sick of the plastic minis packed game for $100 trend that's been all over Kickstarter for years now? I haven't even played my copy of Galaxy Defenders yet. Yeah, fuck that, I won't touch this, but my lack of support won't stop the success this franchise seems to have.

EDIT: That said, best of luck on the project. I hope it turns out to be a great game, I'll pick it up when it CoolStuffInc has it in stock.
