Yeah. I haven't been as excited about an Exalted book since 1e.

Not quite. Cy-Borg is due later this year.

That may be intentional.

The tag line is Blue Collared Sci-Fi. I can see 2001 and Alien both being seen as relatively realistic examples of blue collared life in space. It seems similar to Mothership, with less emphasis on horror.

The KS was called Stronghold and Streaming. It covered the book Strongholds and Followers as well as funding for a filming studio for his live stream. It also ended up funding a line of dragon miniatures as well by its end by way of stretch goals.

Cool. I hadn't even heard of that other Kickstarter :D

Yep. Its definitely going to hit the 2nd place before it ends.

It will come in second. Its weird though as the current top 3 tabletop RPG KSs all include other elements which made them so successful. 7th Sea was basically a KS for a full line of books and Matt Colville's KS also included miniatures and the first funding a live streaming studio. As such, I...

There is more to 2e than just the rulebook. I can see people picking up the 2e books to fill out their 1e collections regardless. We don’t know enough about the rules changes yet to make a call, but given it’s the same designer who made 1e in the first place, I think we will see a genuine...

Moria, the Shire, Gondor, and Mordor. One of the primary purposes of 2e is to expand on what 1e covered rather than supplant it.

I think its superb. Its purpose built to emulate adventuring in the world of Middle Earth, but is also very approachable by bringing player into the setting at a ground level rather than the usual high level overview of most fantasy RPGs. It has a strong vibe that permeates every adventure...

I don't think that anyone has ever measured this. But Tales From the Loop had 5,600 backers and Twilight 2000 had 8,000 backers and they were both considered smash hits for a RPG KS.

My guess that we may see several products in this KS. A rulebook, starter set, adventure collection and maybe even the Moria box set.

I am actually surprised that they went with a Kickstarter and not just a preorder like Alien. Its clear its going to be commercially successful.

Alvaro Tapia may be even more prevalent than Martin Grip as it sounds like his art was influential in bringing the designer and Free League together. His work in Forbidden Lands is superb.

It makes sense to me. The publisher is European like the designer, has published a licenced IP of one of the designer's top 3 IPs (Alien), and has other RPGs that have a lot in common in their approach to mechanics, setting and respect for IP property.

As posted above, it’s been confirmed by Magpie on Facebook. Magpie posted this on Facebook today: Our team is still developing the game, but it will feature the Powered by the Apocalypse system like Masks: A New Generation, Urban Shadows, and Epyllion. We're excited!

No. All PbtA RPGs should be self contained. As said, PbtA is more a design approach than a core rule system like Savage Worlds, so they differ quite a bit from each other. Sounds like an issue with Henshin, which I haven't heard of. Legacy is great but its a tough first PbtA RPG as it also adds...

FWIW a Dragon Prince RPG has been announced using Cortex. PbtA attempts to demystify the traditional RPG process with a set of simple and clear rules. Most of the issues I have seen are from experienced RPGers who see this as being unnecessary (as they already know the process) and too...
