I"M HERE I'M HERE I CLICKED I ---

. . . yeah I think we should change the title too.

Would everybody have clicked if the title was different?

Although OP probably had most of you at "tentacle"

Maybe where you're from. Remember that "mainstream" and "accepted" are not always the same thing. A lot of people probably know about anime porn. Not as many people know about wargaming. That doesn't mean I'd rather have to explain why I bought an anime porn/"Tentacle Bento" card game to my friends than why I bought a wargame. To myself or anyone I know this is way less acceptable than wargames. I suppose your mileage may vary? I consider myself and my friends pretty "main stream" and representative of the general population.

If you feel that you're going to have to explain why you bought it, you're probably not in their target audience...

That's probably sound reasoning.

This is creepy and disgusting.

Well, as far as I can tell, mainly disgusting because of the name...still creepy as hell though.

*looks at your flag* im actually referring to your part of the world. Im going to go as far as claim that there are probably more "fringe" anime/hentai fans in the US than there are wargamers in the west

and as for my part of the world...im sure ill probably have more folks (females) enjoying the bento game here than 40k...

From the Soda Facebook page:

Thank you everyone, as of 530PM tonight, you have helped us bring Tentacle Bento to evil squiggly life! Watch tomorrow as we continue to bring some awesome stretch goals to kickstarter for some more excellent Tentacle swag and fun!

The only way you would take this in the wrong way was if you have seen enough hentai.

The title of the thread is "calling all perverts."

Good point, should have titled it "calling all prigs."

I removed it because some people were getting a bit too.. scary.

el edit.

Thanks for the gameplay demo!

No no, thank you for giving me another cool project to back!

As mentioned, this looks pretty tame. I don't understand what the fuss is all about.

Anywyay, I might get a box when it is released; definitely will not pay for something in hopes of getting it later on if it's made, as what I understand the main premise of Kickstarter is.

EDIT: Is this a collectible card game, like MTG? IF so, not interested at all.

I don't think it is - though there might be 'expansions' that get released later on?

Curious to see what the stretch goals will be...

Alpharius is correct it is not a CCG. It is a standalone card game. If it proves popular expansions are certainly a possibility, but we're focused on the base game at the moment.

Looks hilarious! Gameplay doesnt look to bad either.

Ive sort of developed a reputation at my uni (completely unjustly i might add) so getting this would be lulz.

First stretch goal announced:

Hello everyone, we are totally funded, and we have 4 weeks to go! Let's go nuts! We are putting up some fun stretch goals, and we wanted to give an homage' to our roots. If we meet the first stretch goal, we will start rolling out some really unique and fun items. The first one up on the block - Candy & Cola, a collectible miniature from our Soda Pop Miniatures studio!

Pretty cool stretch goal.

Shouldn't be too hard to reach, I'm sure plenty of $25 pledgers will pony up the extra $15 for the t-shirt and any other stuff coming their way.

Did someone say pony?

I won't lie, I'm highly, highly tempted now that there's a miniature involved. I know someone who would absolutely love the other stuff as a gift... hopefully the t-shirts come in women's sizes.

Yes, there is a male and a female variant. I'm sure at the end of the run you'll get a questionnaire asking your preferred shirt gender and size.

Well, my $60 pledge is in..........................

Love everything Sodapop's churned out so far.

While we're here, anyone know when caverns of roxor drops?

All I've heard concerning SDE is that the second print of SDE will be ready this Summer, other than that..

Hmm fair enough.

I have to admit - this first stretch goal is not impressing me and did not make me want to move my pledge up at all.

Hope there's better stuff in the works!

From the look of their reactions they were somewhat expecting the pledge to be fulfilled so quickly, I wouldn't be surprised if things go crazier as the money keeps on flowing in.

Hmm my personal view

A. They set a low goal

or

B. They saw how fast Zombicide/Ogre (and many other games) grew

Did some digging around their Facebook page, looks like its going to be Fall this year, price will be $60.

Not quite. You don't actually pay anything until the goal is reached. So if it doesn't get far enough to be actually made, you never pay anything.
