What KICKSTARTER(S) are you BACKING and WHY?

Dead Reckoning launches August 9th. I’m waiting to see how it is priced to decide how much of it I am going to buy.

Sorely tempted as well, seen a lot of good press on it.

I’ve played it a few times and really liked it. But, keep in mind, I also really like pick-up-and-deliver games.

The one concern that some people have had is that the PvP aspect might be too swingy. Haven’t played enough to make up my mind on that. From my few plays it seems like attacking another play is high risk, but at the end of the game, when you are behind with nothing to lose… a lucky roll can win the game. Although it could be argued that everyone should play more defensively and build up their canons, but on the other hand I feel like that would make the game more scripted and less fun and freewheeling.

Personally, I’ve had enough fun playing that losing to a Hail Mary attack doesn’t bother me, and I rather like that kind of drama. But if you are the sort of person who gets salty about that sort of thing, it is something to consider.
