Yeah. They did mention that if their crowdfunding fails that they'll look into investors, which makes me half hope it does fail.

If it does, it's certainly something I would consider throwing a few dollars into.

Tabletop RPG you can carry in your pocket. It looks fairly nice, but readibility/clean-up concerns me. There's a lot of small components, which feels like something's going to get lost quickly.

Also, the pledge tiers are pretty stupid. There are nine pledge levels, of which seven are sold out because they're early bird/limited tiers. The last three tiers which provide a box to hold all components are amongst the sold out. So basically, there's just two tiers: Core game, and core game+expansion.

Linking in case someone gets interested.
<Cidward> God willing, we'll all meet in Buttquest 2: The Quest for More Butts.

Not even remotely true, but people will say what people will.
The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1194220798/hollywood-make-your-own-blockbuster <-- as usual for my Kickstarter linkage, it's a board game =p

It's a game where you're playing as the head of movie studio, and compete to make the best movie, both in terms of gross profit and gaining coveted movie of the year award. It uses a mix of drafting mechanics (like 7 Wonders) and auction mechanics.

12 days to go, and if you think it looks fun, there's also a contest where you could potentially win the game for free here:

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/assault-on-doomrock-board-game <-- Indie Gogo instead of Kickstarter, but same difference. =p

Assault on Doomrock looks like a fun D&D/fantasy-ish card-based board game, though I'm waiting see rulebook before pledging. It is co-op play btw.

I want to see things like what happens when a character dies (is it player elimination? lose a level? just out for that fight?), which the playthrough/review video doesn't really cover.

I also want to see if other stretch goals get unlocked, hopefully adding more traits and encounter cards.

There's essentially one pledge level btw: $60 for the game

Hmmm.

That seems neat, though 60 bucks feels expensive to me for it.   Well, plenty of time for hopefully more information.  I do like co-op :)
Well, Goodbye.

Yeah, the price point seems a bit on the high side for what you're getting when it's only cards and tokens. Mind you, it's a lot of them, but I would still have expected the price point closer to $40-45 or around there.

I suspect most of the extra cost is for covering shipping, as they're based off Poland.

Political satire campaign.  But frankly, tempting enough as a thought that I link here.  In spoilers for those who prefer politics to stay well and truly away from here.

*donates from time to time, and thus gets harassed constantly about it.  Really actually finds it disgusting when folks ask him to weigh in with opinion and money about the political representative of another state*  Whole point is it is their business for diverse debate and opinions spread over our entire culture.
Well, Goodbye.

Cooperative game where you are a bunch of pirates that have blown up another pirate ship...a ghost pirate ship! Now you are cooperating to put out the fires, defeat skeletal guards, eliminate undead crew members, and steal all the treasure those pesky undead have hoarded!

Priced at $39, with an expected MSRP of $44, and no unreasonable shipping cost adder. Seems decent!

I lack enough nearby players that enjoy co-ops, unlike Drac, so maybe he'll get more out of this one. =)
