A short while ago, a mysterious video appeared on the internet, promising a bold mix of miniature gaming, video gaming and roleplaying in a game called Prodigy. Since then, things moved forward at a rapid pace. Previews are everywhere, and the Prodigy Kickstarter-campaign is set to launch next Wednesday, April 2nd. Have a look at […]
All right. This has nothing to do with gaming, but it might serve as a poignant reminder that “backing” Kickstarter truly is only one thing… a pre-order platform, and not – in a strict sense of the word – crowd-funding. The mix-up has – in tech- and video-game circles – unleashed a lot of bad […]
Mantic Games 6th Kickstarter, and the second for DreadBall, ended tonight with a take of US$575,755,-. Well over half a Million dollars. That, clearly, isn’t bad (and still one of the top 100 Kickstarters of all times). Given the over US$ 250,000,- launch day, it was still perhaps below expectations / predictions, and less than […]

Teams score points by making goals and injuring opponents. The team with the […]

If you have an account on Kickstarter.com (and if you’re into games, chances are you have), you will likely have received the same email I did: Kickstarter.com has apparently been hacked and a bit of information might’ve gotten out.

Browsing Kickstarter, I came across a wonderful gem of a card game: Draco Magi. The appeal – obviously – where the fantastic dragons that give the game its name.
