What KICKSTARTER(S) are you BACKING and WHY?
Has anyone looked at Zombicide ? I'm intrigued by what I've seen so far and amazed by the amount of backers. On the other hand I'm also puzzled by the amount of backers, considering the lack of a rule book and the amount of money you have to invest to get the best deal -> for me, for example, it would be 100 $ backing + 25 $ intl. shipping + VAT 21%. So around 150 $ for a game with awesome artwork and miniatures, but no idea whether it is any good? Is this normal for a Kickstarter game?

And I imagine FFG watching and eagerly anticipating being able to up their prices to $150 for anything with some plastic in...

My first dive into Kickstarter. Gulp.

I think it makes more sense for you, because you live in the US and for 100$ you get a lot of nice stuff, even if you may not be 100% sure that the game is any good. But for those outside the US the 50$ on top (through shipping and - most likely - taxes) are a steep price increase, I think. I mean, 150$ for a game? I still have trouble getting used to the 100$ prices.Ska_baron wrote: Funny, I just pulled the trigger on Zombicide because DAMN it looks good in the gameplay video. Minis are great too and I'm excited.

General question I have is, are kickstarter games also coming into general distribution at some point, or it's only through kickstarter and then it's gone forever (or if they start another kickstarter campaign)?

While you can never tell I guess with kickstarter companies, this one seems to be slated for general distribution of some sort because they mention at the $75 level that the MSRP will be $89.
So in theory, you could get the game for $125 (the $75 pledge level) with shipping and still get the 2 extra promo figures that I'm assuming won't be with the retail game. Maybe they will - who knows.
But if you can convince yourself to do that, then it does become a question of "well for $25 more, I can get ALL THIS OTHER STUFF."

Past $450,000 at this point. I suspect he'll top half a million dollars by Sunday.
Half. Million. Dollars.
Damn.

I've met Richard Lanius several times and really like his game philosophy, so I'm tempted to jump on DoR:Battlefields, but again, I think that will be a retail product so using kickstarter just as a pre-order system doesnt sit right with me. At least GMTs P500 system only charges when the product ships.

And I expect someone will come up with rules for using the figures in LNOE (and maybe the boards too).
