Oh. Floor tiles are now unlocked as well. Onwards to the Paradiso book to go with them. These are a £20 add-on. Given Hennig's past work, these will be gorgeous... and absolutely perfect for Imperial Assault as well as any sci-fi game

Do you plan on making a get everything add on for non book items?

I love completionist simply add this options.

I assume this stuff will all be on sale later, right?

So there's no reason necessitating getting it all at once?

They have confirmed that there will be a "get everything" level later on when there are more add-ons that are not book related. Look at the Mutant Chronicles KS as an example of this.

Most things will be yes. I think the only things that won't are the limited core book and the 6 figures at the moment.

The Ariadna faction book is now on the future goals list at £155k.

It seems the all-in book level is pretty popular with 50 takers already

Oh I missed that thanks, perfect!

+1 for this, all books with the standard Core Book would be great.

92 retweets, maybe when we hit 100 we'll get our unlocks

And I want to pay 300 quid but I also don't because money but I really do...ugh. Torturous.

I mean I am already in for 100, and I'd get the extra minis, and I'd get the Ariadna book at least, and then I'd probably want to get the Nomad and TAG book as well, and then it can't be too much of a stretch....

I'd possibly try and figure out how to get together £240 for an "All Things in Print Regular Edition" pledge!

Yeah I feel that'd get me. But we're safe for now haha

Yes that's coming - once we know exactly what we're making lol!

Yes mostly - the collectors book is limited edition, but most stuff will be from our site, at slightly higher prices of course. You will also have time to add them as a backer before we ship so you can spread out the costs

We might do an add on version without a core book at all, for those at one of the pledge levels to keep it easier - will think on that.

Yep, I was in for £100 and went through much the same as the above, and now I'm in for £300

Same here. It was too good an offer.

Oh, we got the next two social goals too, so the free adventure is now complete at 24 pages.

So, that classic CB campaign, is that like a fluffy retelling of their adventure, or is it just the scenario for players to play out?

I believe they are scenarios to allow you to recreate their original adventures. I'd suspect that the 4 characters unlocked earlier also go with the scenarios.

The Paradiso book is now unlocked and the PanO sourcebook has been added as the £170k goal

The original party were 6.

Aight, need scrubs to unlock the Ariadna book and I'll be all set. Anything after that is good

Why is Haqqislam the last Human book to be unlocked :(

Someone had to be last!

But yeah, I agree - it should have been Yu Jing!

TACTICAL ARMORED GEARS TAG pilots are the greatest warriors in human history. In their mobile, armored weapon platforms – whether anthropomorphic, spider-like, or bird-form – they wield unprecedented destructive force, striding across battlefields like the demigods of old. And now their autonomous mastery of the battlefield has been increased by the flurry of remote drones which they command. This sourcebook releases their full potential with specialized TAG Warfare Rules, a TAG Equipment Guide, and guidelines for running campaigns starring TAG pilots and their incredible war machines.

112-page colour softback sourcebook with specialized TAG Warfare Rules, an extensive equipment guide (including dozens of TAGs and dronbots), and detailed guidelines for running TAG-focused campaigns.

I might not ever get to play this game IRL, but if someone wants to GM it online, I'd happily play a JOTUM pilot!

I'll run an online, mod-only TAG-only infinity RPG. With only 1 rule, no JOTUMs.

You won't even see me coming...

PsychoticStorm wrote:The original party were 6.

Yes i know, more will be coming :-)

I have never used kickstarter (and to be honest I lack any understanding why I should chuck out 300 quid on something I have no idea what soever if it will be good anyway).Are all the items going to be available in regular shops as well, apart from the minis? When are they going to be released then?

The RPG etc will be available for shops to stock if they choose to do so

(here's some of their last RPG project in the wild http://www.waylandgames.co.uk/1618-achtung-cthulhu)

as to when they'd get to stores take the estimated KS release date and add6-9 months at least, and that would be for the main book and maybe one or two of the others,

expect the rest to trickle out piecemeal after that as I would not expect a stores to want to order a huge pile of new books for a brand new game at once

No-one sees the Jotum as they are too busy looking for the Cutters?

The point of kickstarter is to supply designers/creators with money to get their projects off the ground. To take them from concept stage to finished product. It's a little like Dragons' Den, if you want to "back" a project, you can do, at different levels depending on what "reward" you want from the project. IIRC you can never get stock etc. through KS, the rewards are all products, some KS exclusive to entice you to back them. Naturally, KS takes a % of any money paid to the creator (they have to be funded somehow).

Some companies use KS as a pre-order platform to fund tooling up new ideas, essentially eliminating the risk of developing a new product. While not strictly what KS was set up for, these big fish tend to be massive (I'm looking at you Zombicide) and supply the money to KS so that the smaller products/ideas can also be hosted. So they are largely tolerated.

Most of the items will eventually be available in stores, as a KS backer you will nearly always get your items first, before they ship to stores. Where something is KS Exclusive, you can only get it by backing the project and choosing (or just getting) it as a reward.

BIG DISCLAIMER

There is an element of risk involved, some projects fail.
While you won't be charged any money if the project doesn't reach its total, if the project is successfully funded but something else happens, you could end up out of pocket or receiving something of lesser quality than the designer promised.

Speaking personally, I've had no projects outright fail on me, but almost all have run late (2-3 months) and I've had two take over a year to fulfil their promises (still waiting on one now).

I did back this KS initially but the buy in was too high. KS is a gamble, which often pays out and sometimes crash and burns. In this case I don't see an incentive to take on the risk so I'll wait and judge at retail. I'd be dissapointed pledging to later find out I could have got it cheaper and quicker on Amazon. My experience with Prodos has really put me off backing other projects.

That works too!

I don't think there's a lot of 'risk' here. Modiphius has already run quite a few successful Kickstarters after all.

Now, whether or not there's enough 'value' is, of course, a subjective thing!

The Kickstarted books are discounted from what they will be in retail so you're saving about £190 on final retail value - or getting around 10 books for free, and £88 saving on what you'd pay in the Kickstarter. That's only a good deal if you see yourself getting them regardless. The really good deal is always the PDF Master - £40/$60 for every PDF unlocked in the Kickstarter. The last two kickstarters we ran had those pledgers getting about £200 of PDF's so they came off well.

Timewise we're MUCH better prepared this time, much like Thunderbirds is only delivering 30 days later, the core book is all written and going in to editing, so we will be shipping in February (unless we opt for seafreight to bring down the USA/Canada and Australian shipping prices in which case add 4 week). The rest of the books are listed for shipping waves in July and October and we'll be planning the schedule as we go. Feb will likely be the core book, players guide, Shadow Affairs Campaign and a couple of supplements.

I always say don't spend the money if you're not sure - just go for one of the basic deals - you'll get all the PDF's for £40, or the core book and all the pdf's for £60 and see what you think, you can always pick up the books in retail later on (a £12 Faction Book will be around £16-18 in retail).

Is there a list of Faction books order of unlocking? I haven't seen anything specific showing what order they are up in for unlock.
