What KICKSTARTER(S) are you BACKING and WHY?

Relic Knights didn't interest me in the slightest as it looked seriously overpriced compared to their previous offerings.

As for the Reaper one, my only use for them would be to pimp some games. If it'd all been fantasy stuff, great, but now they seem to be chucking in space marines, cowboys, and any other random stuff they can think of. It's a steal at that price, but I'm not sure I have much use for them.

I was hoping that my fiancee was going to talk some sense into my head about the Reaper Bones kickstarter, but I was wrong. One look at what was offered and the prospective Clockwork Dragon and she was all in. I think she is going to want the Jabberwork as well. Too bad it won't be shpping until March of 2013.

WOW, Glory to Rome is looking like a glorious clusterfuck.

Take your pick of any of the threads

Couldn't resist the Reaper one (plus some bonus figs).

Also backing the newShadowfist 4 fixed starter LCG type release (Combat in Kowloon) plus the first set of additional fixed decks.

And the re-issue of the boxed Horror on the Orient Express for Call of Cthulhu.

I resisted Reaper!

But then went for The Battle of Red Cliffs at the designer level (three different games).

And now Mantic, in its next phase of their "we're not Games Workshop Jr. damnit!" marketing plan, has released their "It's Not Bloodbowl, Damnit!" game.

I have to say, the "ok, look, we know it looks like Bloodbowl, but really, it's *not*" blog post about it is actually kind of compelling. I do like the idea of non-stop play after scoring much more than I ever dug blood bowl's traditional US football approach of lining back up for kickoffs.

Anyway, read it here: quirkworthy.com/2012/08/27/dreadball-and...lephant-in-the-room/

interesting read, i never played Blood Bowl, but always wanted too. I might check out this instead though when it comes out. Mantic are usually pretty sound in their pricing.

I think I prefer the style of Bloodbowl. I'm hoping FFG or GW eventually reprints it.

Impact Miniatures has a Blood Bowl alternative that was designed, in part, by the guy who had a large hand in the recent incarnations of Blood Bowl's LRB. Tom Anders, I believe. Or Galak Starscraper in the forums of a few BB sites.

@Duke: FUMBBL may still be operational if you want to try Blood Bowl online. The excellent JavaBowl PBEM client exists if you can find it, but is is a little difficult to line up opponents now that MBBL and the myriad other league sites are largely inactive. The BB PC game is also a good alternative to H2H play and there are leagues to join through the game service.

It is still in print and you can buy the game direct from GW on their website. At least on their US page.
