I'm back from my "raincheck". In that time we've had a lot of actual rain here and I may have to replace my car, however I'm a sucker for a deal on kickstarter. Perhaps this might be my last "spin on the wheel". The project looks good, I probably wouldn't go in for addons though, just the basic pledge it looks ambitious for under $200k. Again, I like the Italian vibe, I'm not adverse to helping new companies and they seem to have put a lot of work into this already. Seems that there are still plenty of fence sitters out there I'm sure this speed will tempt some down. (I think the tower is a nice touch if it gets there)

I had pulled my pledge of this rather early when the stretch goals started mounting.

Yes many of the miniatures are already sculpted and can be sent to production right away, and yes the game looks good, but with everything that still has to be designed and sculpted and produced, I feel this one got out of control and there's too much being promised, especially for a first time company - that has needed 3 Kickstarters to get the funding goal.

With ~3hrs on the clock, any other views from Dakka?
Maybe I'll be tempted by a late pledge manager once more progress has been made.

I think if you're a fan of tactical board games, you'll probably like this. Even with just the base pledge you're getting a fair amount of swag by the time this ends.

From the very first time they posted it up on Kickstarter, it screamed Final Fantasy Tactics homage to me, which was probably my most played game on the original Playstation.

So since the last time I posted, tons of stretch goals were posted, broken, and new ones were posted again.

I updated the original topic, but here's all the latest.


New enemies included:



Free card sleeves with Renaissance art:



The last 2 epic class upgrades:



A dice bag:



And the final goal-


With only 2 hours left and about 10k to go, it'll be interesting to see if it makes it. This thing really went into overdrive in the last ten hours. Haven't seen a big push like that in a while. They put up a few more expansions, but they're kind of limited in info as they had originally wanted to save it for another campaign but I guess wanted to drive up the pledge total right now.

I agree, I would expect 1+ year delay, production/money problems and bitter tears from backers... That seems to be the usual story.

Oh yeah, I'm totally expecting super long delays as well.

First time company? They all get in over their heads.

Kickstarter is not the place for an impatient person to be looking at for the next big game.

Barring of course if you back games into double digit amounts and have a constant supply turning up, well then yeah, I guess it isn't so bad.

$1 pledge manager access?

Only want addons.

Ah, obligatory "throw in a dragon at the last minute to get backers" SG I see...

That last thing is more than enough to validate my decision to pull my pledge

So is Dakka saying the deal looks "too good to be true"?
Shame. I'll leave my dollar in and I hope things work out. I'm still not sure who the manufacturer is.

Not saying the entire project is too good to be true, but I definitely think that the creators will be in over their heads to produce all of the stretch goals.
