Kickstarter Roundup: Week of 04 Nov 2013

Hmm.. Kickstarters are still kinda slow going. Only three, and one of them is only here on a whim…


I’m actually not a big fan of this kickstarter, since the material is card stock. While good card stock can last a while, I don’t like using it for terrain… The durability is one issue, the other thing is that you really are constrained by the material. It doesn’t bevel well, it doesn’t compress well, your designs are inherently limited, and as with games, you run the risks of water damage. You can still do a lot, I just don’t like to work with it. However, YMMV.


Then we get the whimsical. Hey, it’s Cthulhu, in cat form. Cats essentially rule the Internets. Cthulhu reborn in a cat form is just something that’s bound to happen sooner or later.

The extra tentacle legs though, might turn some off…

Ah well. Can’t please everyone. 🙂


Lastly — I did say this week is a bit thin — this Kickstarter looks to be promising, and it’s already 300+% funded.

JRPG (Japanese Role-Playing Game) is not something you see everyday on Kickstarter, and a translation attempt is rarer. The art on this one is quite tempting, I might shell out the cash just to get the artwork. So, something to keep an eye on.

So yeah, slow week. Back to doing hobby stuff. 🙂
