Gaming Kickstarters

Tunney · 27 Feb 2014 at 10:52

My name is Tunney and I have a problem. I have a problem with backing far too many gaming-related Kickstarter campaigns.

I thought I'd start to a thread so that people can point others at interesting gaming-related campaigns on Kickstarter. I know there's been a few that I've missed out on because I didn't know they existed until it was too late.

At the moment, I'm backing the Dreadball Xtreme campaign. It's the new version of Mantic's Speedball/Blood Bowl sci-fi sports game, Dreadball. I think Mantic abuse the Kickstarter model a bit but their campaigns are always fantastic value. The standard version of Deadball is a lot of fun too.

I backed Raging Heroes, Cthuhlu Wars and Warmachine. Then I joined the Kingdom Death one late on. I'm trying to stay out of the rest because quite frankly I'm a ******* slow painter and once any of that turns up I'm sorted for like a decade

Tunney · 27 Feb 2014 at 13:07

Yeah, I've got that problem. The amount of models I got from the Deadzone Kickstarter is scary. I only really backed it for the modular terrain!

People might want to check out the Lagoon kickstarter. It's already well funded, with one more stretch to go seven days out. It looks good.

I backed the Snowdonia expansion and Euphoria. I've had to be very strict with myself to somehow avoid overspending through kickstarter. I don't get together with gaming friends often enough to play all of the games that I have now :/

The big regret that I missed though was the high friction play surface. A pair of those would have been perfect for Eclipse.

Last year I backed Wild West Exodus, but haven't even opened the mini's yet

, Judge Dredd Block War and Journey to the Overland

Current live project backed related tabletop gaming is just TTcombat's Wild West Scenics

This might interest some people, new miniatures kickstarter from Mierce. UK based so avoid high shipping costs.

I'm keeping an eye on it https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mierceminiatures/darklands-first-edition-ii?ref=live

Looks interesting but the larger scale and cost of mini's put me off a bit, will definitely keep an eye on it though. Pledges aren't very enticing either.

Mierce do have lovely miniatures, but the contempt the owner showed people when Maelstrom was in trouble, leaving many out of pocket to a very tidy sum, puts me off.

Psymonkee · 26 Mar 2014 at 10:16

Thought this was very interesting and for a worthy cause too!

The game you can get as a backer sounds fun too but might need a moderator

Bickaxe · 20 Sep 2014 at 13:20

Just received Zombies 13: Defcon Z

Its finally collaborative! Will give it a go next week probably

crunchman · 29 Sep 2014 at 23:29

Just backed this:

CAH getting a little stale with us so this looked good, promised to be delivered by xmas and made in the UK, only needs another 4k and it will be funded

JeditOjanen · 30 Sep 2014 at 12:47

One Night Ultimate Werewolf: Daybreak is on Kickstarter now. The best part is that as all the new roles are known, we can probably arrange a few PBF games before the campaign ends.

My gaming group had a game of this great little card game ( using the print and play )... https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/topwisegames/monkeys-need-love-too

Its great fun and quick to play, its KS campaign is about to finsih , and thought I'd give it a mention here, in case anybody wants in.

Psymonkee · 1 Oct 2014 at 15:24

I'll chip in with this one: Bomb Squad

Looks like a great fun game, especially liking the holding your hand facing away from you

fergie128 · 6 Nov 2014 at 13:20

Anyone backed the Age of Conan board game on Kickstarter? Looks like it might be quite good!

Clicky!

JeditOjanen · 7 Nov 2014 at 12:47

Age of Conan is a reprint, and the original game was not best loved.

World of Smog is down to about 60 hours and is well funded, but there's still one stretch goal to go. There's a video of a complete game on the Kickstarter page; it looks nifty.

titchard · 7 Nov 2014 at 18:25

My friend picked up Boss Monster Which was a Kickstarter funded project - would really recommend it, loads of fun!

Mierce have got another Kickstarter up. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mierceminiatures/banebeasts-mighty-monsters/description

By far the best run kickstarters imo. Great models, weekly updates and they're excellent at answering questions. Also UK based so shipping is cheap and no worrying about customs charges.

Muz333 · 18 Jan 2015 at 13:51

Backing 'Tiny Epic Galaxies' and 'Pocket Imperium' at the moment. I'm a sucker for Sci-fi themes.

Edit:
Also Exodus Proxima Centauri and the expansion are on my watch list.
