I think there can be a place for physical stretch goals, but you'd need to be careful with them. I think one place where they can be useful is material extracted from the main product, where minimal development effort is needed for the stretch goal. I'm thinking of things like cards containing...

I think Covid and the disruptions it caused is to blame for many of these failures. The disruptions to Chinese manufacturing as well as shipping caused production costs to rise in ways sellers had not accounted for, and did not have the margins to cover. Digital stuff is of course not as...

The time travel in Fate of Cthulhu is more a background element, explaining why the PCs are doing what they're doing. You don't have PC's hopping back and forth between the future and the modern day. Think Kyle Reese in Terminator: he knows he has been sent on a one-way trip, and he does not...

I have to ask then: have you checked out Fate of Cthulhu? It's basically Call of Cthulhu meets Terminator/Twelve Monkeys: one of the Old Ones have risen and more or less destroyed humanity, but the PCs are a last-ditch effort to be sent back in time to stop the rise before it happens. Only the...

There must be fifty ways to do so.

As I understand it, original EU backers of Fantasy Series 1 got their miniatures. US backers did not, because apparently BLG ran out of money for shipping so they got stuck in fulfillment limbo where they kept accruing storage debt in the warehouse and the backers eventually had to pay the...

The thing with BLG is that it's really more about one individual, Alex Lim. who first scammed people under the Artistic Justice brand, and then started a new company called Blacklist Games. When people asked BLG if Alex was involved, they denied this. I did jump on their Fantasy Series 2...

Well, Last Christmas is amazing and Simply Having A Wonderful Christmas Time is horrible, so of course Last Christmas is better.

I finally got the physical books for Draw Steel today, which I ordered from my FNSLGS a few months ago. I also got emails telling me there's a minis kickstarter/gamefound heading my way, as well as another thing which I'm not sure what it is but is likely to be the Han Cluster for Savage Worlds...

Obviously, your chances of rolling a 2 are significantly lower on 3d4. And even ignoring that, 3d4 would have a much lower chance of rolling the extreme values. On 2d6, the chances of a 2 or a 12 are 1 in 36 each. On 3d4, the chances of a 3 or a 12 are 1 in 64 each.

Same reason most people play good guys in solo computer games, at least as their main playthrough. The fantasy of Superman is not having the power to move mountains. The fantasy is in having that power and using it to do good. "Desert" is a broad description. Dark Sun, much like the real world...

For regular minis: yeah. When I'm prepping a new batch of minis, I usually put them in a small bowl of lukewarm water with a bit of dish soap in it. I then clean them with a firm toothbrush, to make sure any mold release stuff gets cleaned off. Then they get to air dry until the next day. I'm...
