Tenra Bansho Zero Kickstarter

Quote from: The Traveller;576934Alright Andy calm down, I'm already out a nice set of custom dice over that miniatures thing. Any RPG would be doing very well to get half the support that TBZ got. More seriously it can't be that hard to partner up with a minis company on a project.

The Reapers KS was amazing. It will be interesting to see whether it has flooded the market or if other miniature KSs will follow suit. I do note that Soda Pops Relic Knights is also doing pretty well and has a similar manga/anime theme to TBZ - http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/coolminiornot/relic-knights?ref=category.

FWIW I am not surprised to see wargames being more lucrative than RPGs overall, but that has never stopped RPGs in the past. I don't see it causing a surge of RPG KSs amalgamating with wargaming KSs either TBH. As you say, TBZ is doing very well for an RPG and I am sure that there is less cost/risk involved from the creators POV.

Only with somewhat more fanservice, I suspect... It's actually #4 on BoardGameGeek's list of the most funded board/card games on Kickstarter.

Yeah. Saying that something has an anime/manga vibe is extremely broad to the point of having no real meaning. Relic Knights has not appeal to me as an anime/manga fan FWIW. I have pretty high standards TBH and there is plenty of anime/manga in the sea

I'd quite probably back RK if it were, say, purely a card game. But minis really aren't my kind of thing, and unfortunately I couldn't paint them if my life depended on it.

Skywalker isn't Andy Kitkowski if that's what you're insinuating.

Andy K is, well, Andy K. He hasn't posted around here in a few years, though.

guess that will be a separately released product? didn't notice it on the pledge listings. or maybe when the KS is done it would be an add-on option? definitely interested in this one too, maybe moreso than the original.

vytzka · August 30, 2012, 02:52:39 PM

I thought it would be a free addon.

edit: for pledges starting WELL BELOW two hundred dollars, that is.

I am not sure that it will be a seperate product per se, except as a PDF in support of TBZ like the other DLC. I imagine that Mythos Hunter Zero isn't very big in terms of page count as its mostly a setting hack that is ready to run.

EDIT: Andy has confirmed that MHZ will be available to all pledgers at the $13 level or higher and will be available as a free download for everyone some months later.

$60K stretch goal reached. On to $65 and the tenugui.

12 days to go.

vytzka · September 04, 2012, 01:30:27 AM

The worst thing about that tenugui is that it got me browsing ebay for them

Still, I think 65 grand is all but a certainty now. 70 is very possible, but I'm not sure about 80. But then I haven't followed a kickstarter to the end yet so I don't know how these things go.

Skywalker · September 04, 2012, 03:53:25 AM

I am still betting on $90K-$100K

Skywalker · September 05, 2012, 07:17:23 PM

Big surge today sees the $65K stetch goal almost fall before the $70K and $80K stretch goals are even announced

That's where my money is too. Damn good day's work for the author.
