Just a day or so ago, CoolMiniOrNot finished a highly successful Kickstarter for Arcadia Quest, a (some say Super Dungeon Explorer-inspired) Chibi-Dungeon Crawler with a PvP twist. Chibi is not my thing, admittedly. Now CMON reverse gear entirely in theme, and launched a website with a Starship Troopers / Space Hulk (?) / Sedition Wars […]
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 […]
Those Kickstarter campaigns are truly coming hard and fast again these days. This one has been on the horizon for a while, and is now live on Kickstarter (and funded many times over): MERCS Recon, from the makers of the miniatures skirmish game of MERCS and the highly successful Myth Kickstarter last year. #1 – […]
The Slaughterball Kickstarter has been stagnating for a while, now the project was canceled and is looking to re-launch later this year. #1 – Slaughterball Canceled The official cancellation message from Kickstarter… A new plan… Over the past couple of weeks many of you great Slaughterball fans have been posting and messaging great ideas to […]
Here is an interesting bit of news. The makers of MERCS Miniatures are apparently about to launch a Kickstarter for a game called MERCS: Recon, which may be combining the best of their rich near-sci-fi MERCS setting and the fantastic Myth game that was their first runaway-success Kickstarter last year. #1 – MERCS Recon Early Pictures […]
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. I had a look at the game-play video, which looked equally exciting. Long story short, I wanted to know more. So I sent the Robert Burke, […]
I had a busy week, and haven’t been able to follow the world of miniature wargaming as closely as I usually do. When I did, I came across a rather curious sight when I checked in on the final days of Mantic Games’ most recent Kickstarter for a Mars Attacks board game: It seems to […]
It’s here: Mars Attacks! Mantic Games’ 5th Kickstarter (including Loka, which – though published by Mantic – was as much Alessio Cavatore’s pet project), and their first Kickstarter for a licensed Intellectual Property. By every possible benchmark, this is Mantic’s most professional and slickest Kickstarter yet. It’s flawlessly build and took off like a rocket on its […]
I am still working hard to get to grips with Season 2 of DreadBall (and the Judwan in particular). Nevertheless, DreadBall Season 3 is fast approaching! Jake Thornton, game designer of DreadBall, recently previewed some of the big miniatures coming to DreadBall this autumn. Today, Mantic sent out an update through the Kickstarter with a […]
MiniWarGaming.com is a very interesting company to follow right now. Not just because they produce great, fun videos, but because they embody the shifts in the industry like nobody else. #1 – MiniWarGaming.com – A Recap Miniwargaming started as a YouTube channel for Warhammer 40K videos, battle-reports, tutorials, etc.., along with a Canada-based online store […]
