What KICKSTARTER(S) are you BACKING and WHY?

Slowcoach!

I'm funding this one like a big dog ... Alien Frontiers for iPad:

kck.st/KIbsrf

I'm currently backing two PC RPGs:

Dead State, which I've been watching develop for quite awhile now:

...and Cult: Awakening of the Old Ones, a completely insane design by one guy.

Oh, and also, Haunts:

...which looks like a fun little tactical RPG for the iPad.

I love Android, but I strongly question whether the decision to mimic Android's most revilved game mechanic - that of 'framing' suspects by placing clues on them - is a wise move. It's that mechanic along that's responsible for Android languishing in bargain bins to this very day.

I really, really hope that someone revisits the Android design at some point, but (from what little info I gathered), Ace Detective seems to be the worst design decisions of Android minus a lot of the backstory and plot plus a lot of drawing and rolling ala Arkham Horror. Despite the brilliant artwork and theme, I'll pass.

Just to remind you guys, the Sedition War Kickstarter is less than 5 hours.

(no, I don't pledge)

Race to Adventure! Very light, but looks like fun!

Race to Adventure looks almost too light. I'll probably end up backing it though, just to keep trying to fill the void while waiting for Thrilling Tales of Adventure *sob* .

Backed Dungeon World (Fantasy hack of Apocalypse World RPG). Thinking about backing Crystal Catacombs (video game) and Trial of the Clone (choose your own adventure book by the SMBC guy).

Something different for me, not a board game. Haunts, because I liked the art style and the excellent video.

Haunts looks neat!

I'm backing Pixel Lincoln, because it looks so Nintendo (8 bit, not 16 bit, SuperSquirrel), and I'm considering getting the expansions for Flash Point. They look good, but I haven't played that in a while, so maybe it would be a fool's errand.

I just dropped 150$ on Strange Aeons stuff...I'll let that shit empty out first.

I'm backing Alien Frontiers for the iPad ... and it ain't gonna make it . Sad face.

It's too soon to tell, it has six days to go and there's usually a surge at the end. Don't give up hope yet!

Just wanted to post a reminder:

Hoplomachus has less than a day to go. And it's close to it's next stretch goal.

I'm keeping an eye on Ace of Aces Rotary Series but I haven't bought in because I already have a copy. It appears to be a straight-up reprint of the original with the designer's blessing.

Hi everyone. As someone who is running his first Kickstarter project, this discussion has been very helpful! I was wondering if you'd give my project a look and give me any feedback that comes to mind? It's a deckbuilding game with a super hero twist.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the heads-up on this. I'm on the fence because it's the "double our goal stretch goal" that interests me the most. I found a boxed version of the Rotary set in perfect shape languishing on the shelf in Cleveland a few years ago, so my copy is damn near new. My "Powerhouse Series" set, though, is battered. That's the set I'd really like to get a new version of...

I backed the Malevolence Infitine RPG PC game and december can't get here fast enough. Assuming that the team makes their dev milestones.
