So, I just read a post that was so wonderful I had to share it. T-Bone offered us 31 Reasons Why You Want To Pick Up The Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game (and fast!). That, my friends, is an accurate (and possibly exhaustive?!?) list of the primary virtues of the DFRPG. And written with such verve,… Continue reading Top ten reasons? Bah! Amateurs!
So, I’m currently at work on the next Temian adventure, which will use a new draft of my Town adventures system. So stay tuned for that. But in the meantime, I just wanted to give a quick shout-out to two great Kickstarters currently running (and ending soon). The first is for a book of monsters… Continue reading Two great RPG Kickstarters!
Darren Watts’ Golden Age Champions Kickstarter is approaching its closing hours now – if “superheroes punching Nazis” is your idea of a good time, then don’t forget to get in on it, before it’s too late! If you want some assurances about quality before backing the Kickstarter, you might want to read this post. There,… Continue reading Your Last Chance to Punch Hitler!
Darren Watts, one-time owner of Hero Games, is running a Kickstarter for his new Golden Age Champions RPG book. The basic idea: you play superheroes fighting Nazis during the WWII era, in the style of the “Golden Age” comic books of the late 1930s and early 1940s. Fun stuff. As Darren says in the Kickstarter… Continue reading Punch Hitler!
Ok, so I could have just said “Dungeon Fantasy Kickstarter Ends,” but that would be sooo much less exciting. Plus it was kind of a triumph, I think. Let’s review the stats. The Kickstarter… …met its target, and then went on to reach no less than… … nine stretch goals. It did this with the… Continue reading Dungeon Fantasy Kickstarter Triumphs
News just in: The Dungeon Fantasy Kickstarter has just broken $200,000, including Warehouse 23 GURPS sales. Amazing! This means that the ninth magical seal (vulgarly called “Stretch Goal”) has now been broken. And, just as I (totally unwittingly) predicted yesterday, horrible monsters have indeed been unleashed! It’s just been formally announced that everyone backing at… Continue reading 9th Seal broken; ZOMBIES unleashed!
And here we are again, celebrating another rapidly-passed milestone. Now we all get special dice – not a big deal, but fun. More importantly, it means the Kickstarter is really flying forwards in its final hours. Actually, it’s particularly impressive to have knocked down this stretch goal during the last few hours, since it was… Continue reading DF Kickstarter reaches stretch goal 8!
…and Wow, that was fast! A free one-month pyramid subscription for all – nice. At this rate, we may even crack stretch goal 8, which would be good – special dice are fun. More importantly, though, the better we do on this Kickstarter, the brighter the future for GURPS in general. So if you’re not… Continue reading DF Kickstarter reaches stretch goal 7!
The sixth magical seal has been broken… soon, the ancient evil within will be unleashed! Yes, I’m starting to sound like a busted record – but huzzah! Now in its last 48 hours, the Dungeon Fantasy RPG continues blowing stretch goals out of the water at a rapid pace. Once again it hasn’t yet been… Continue reading DF Kickstarter reaches stretch goal 6!
…and things just keep getting better. Ok, so it hasn’t officially been announced yet, but that’s just because the SJGames staff have gone home for the day (Edit: now it has!) In any case, the numbers on the site make it clear: we’ve now passed the fifth stretch goal. Amazing! So we’re now talking three… Continue reading DF Kickstarter reaches stretch goal 5!
