Days of Wonder wisely decided that their campaign was too schizophrenic and decided to "reboot" it. I agree wholeheartedly. I saw no reason to invest beyond $30 because there was nothing compelling beyond that investment level. I don't have and probably won't buy an Android, so going to that platform doesn't matter to me. Same with Steam on PC. I have a Mac (and Steam on the Mac leaves a bit to be desired), so no incentive there. I have been trying to avoid buying the physical game, so the Designer Edition was of no use to me either.<br /><br />If the campaign were about converting all of the expansions to the iPad, I would be all over it. As it is, I am glad they pulled the plug until they could come up with a coherent strategy.Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13667428218897971037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38671384.post-39312742612594399192013-01-20T04:29:13.832-07:002013-01-20T04:29:13.832-07:00I see that TAG are going to launch a range of 28mm...I see that TAG are going to launch a range of 28mm Tudors on Kickstarter which may tempt me.<br /><br />I have no idea yet how much it will cost and if it will be a good deal or not. Presumably once the kickstarter is finished thr will just sell the figures as normal?<br /><br />I will have to wait and seeDavidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09819909229567148447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38671384.post-60812726116524985432013-01-20T02:19:41.494-07:002013-01-20T02:19:41.494-07:00"Frittering" away money on kickstarter. ..."Frittering" away money on kickstarter. No frittering here. I need everything I pledge to kickstarter. Fritter. Hah!<br /><br />Up Front? Tick. I played this a few time a long time ago and wanted a setr but was hard to find. And I started looking a few years ago at copies but the price was way to much. So I jumped at the chance to pledge on kickstarter. I went with the same level you started at I really was not sure about whether I would get value from the other nationalities. And by reading your post, I see i am getting them anyway! I obviously cannot read either (but to be fair to me, I was not interested as much in the stretch goals - I just wanted the game).<br /><br />The other kickstarters for me are: <br /><br />Traveller 5th edition (the only RPG I really like and have lots of stuff for already so why not?)<br /><br />Ogre: just could not help it - I have been playing this for other 20 years, even if I do prefer HellTank.<br /><br />Aarons dice rings: rings with an outer ring with numbers that spins. I like rings. I like dice. But resisted and only got three.<br /><br />I am lucky I have never really got into PC/mobile gaming. And I did a lot of multi-player boardgaming in the 80's and 90's and German games passed me by. I don;'t mind them, but am a bit picky on the ones I will play. I have resisted all forms of Small World though. But as I start getting back into FTF gaming, I can see Ticket to Ride etc becoming part of it.<br /><br /><br />I think kickstarter will be eating my money for a few more years.Shaun Travershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691522858410783769noreply@blogger.com
