Will HEL deliver?
I am struggling with HEL, and you want another $5 a month to go on patreon. You offer free and sensational advice but fair dinkum, not Interested.
The Spirit Island campaign was a mess.
We backed six of the ten. Maybe we could have exercised a little more shelf control. (We won’t talk about all of the games not on this list that we also backed.)
Cthulhu Death May Die season 1 arrived yesterday. Hope to get it to the table soon so that I can decide rather to raise my $1 pledge for the CDMD Fear of the Unknown Campaign to a full pledge or not. Already a Lovecraft and CMON fan, so I have a feeling it's a foregone conclusion. Love Encyclopedia but have only gotten it to the table solo so far. Excited about Race to the Raft and the CoB. Had to pass on the others.
Hi Alex Cthulhu DMD my 1st choice also, backed also legacy of Yu, gulpax for roll players adventures, and dawn of Ulos because is from thunder works, so it has to be :).. i'm very upset though with CMON comics and the price… will not acquire the DMD and Zombicide due to the VAT and transport prices…a pity…
I'm so confused why Encyclopedia is a game you LOVE so much, and I find very simplistic and single-pathed for victory. The only viable path to victory is one or two huge publishing acts at the end of the game. What am I missing?
My top kickstarters this past year of those I backed are probably…
10) Thousand Empty Light (Solo RPG)
9) Pathways
8) Dark Venture
7) Motor City
6) Atlas Lost – Rise of the New Sovereigns
5) Mind MGMT Reprint
4) Septima
3) Castles of Bergundy
2) Kingdoms Forlorn
1) Cthulhu Death May Die
I couldn’t afford to back slay the spire so I bought the game instead. Great fun, very addictive. That being said I’m not enjoying the “third” character at all (the orb dude)!
Have you played Grand Austria Hotel? The mechanisms of Encyclopedia reminds me of G.A.H. both have cards you put cubes on then score. And both have cards that give you cool abilities or rewards. Both are dice driven. I think Grand Austria Hotel is a better game. Atleast at 2 players. The expansion module rule may make it better for the 3-4 player count.
Oh, man, there were some good campaigns this year. Cthulhu DMD S3 does look awesome! And the Moonrakers expansions are going to make that game really shine. But for me, the best campaign this year was Kingdoms Forlorn by ITU. Oathsworn is getting all the love right now, but I have AT:O en route from Poland, and I think it is going to stay the test of time. And Kingdoms Forlorn looks even better. ITU is pushing the boundaries and making just plain cool stuff. I can't wait!
Final Girl S2, Septima, and Unconscious Mind would have been my additions to the list.
I backed 4 of your 10, but I think I'd list Sleeping Gods: Distant Skies as my personal #1 since it takes a game I like a lot and re-implements it to make it even better.
Not so surprised at No.1 – my number 1 of all time for sure: such a great experience ❤️
Wow! Genuinely surprised encyclopedia best out Marvel Zombicide!
I’m going to be so excited if 20 Strong is good. This year I end d up bringing Rolling Realms on my business trips, but a Chip Theory Games compact solable game is so much more enticing.
I really wanted to back Last Light but it came out during a really busy season around a bunch of other expensive Kickstarters and I couldn’t pull the trigger.
I backed 3 of these. But all 3 I backed for about $300+ unsettled all in being the cheapest of the 3.
I am now a little uncertain if I should have gotten unsettled since I ordered ISS vanguard and it might give me the same game experience.
I missed Marvel zombies but from what I backed. Oathsworn, Cthulhu DMD, and Kinfire are the ones I’m most excited about.
CDMD would have been my favorite if they would have given the board game backers exclusvie comic book volumes for free as stretch goals they could sell on ebay to comic book collectors to offset the cost of buying the board game content from comic book collectors on ebay that received free exclusive board game content as part of their comic book campaign (Vol 1)/pre-orders (Vol 2). Karma is a bitch… anyway 7/10 backed. Not bad. Skipped Raft, Slay, and Quodd.
