Look who's back from the not-quite-dead, with nothing but a wall of text so, far:
FASA Corporation's 1879 RPG, Miniatures and App Kickstarter

Holy fuck, $325,000 as a starting goal... And its for a damn 15mm game.

They really should have just focused on producing one thing at a time instead of trying to create an Ipad app, RPG and tabletop game all at once, because with a goal of $325k there is absolutely no chance that this campaign will succeed.

Also, not offering pledge levels for an army + rule books below $325 seems stupid.

I'm just hoping then when it fails more people will buy into Martian Empires (15mm VSF - around since 2004) :-)

With this project we'll be able to produce 4 new miniatures. These miniatures have already been sculpted and are ready to be sent off for moulding and put into production. The miniatures will be cast in a durable and highly detailed plastic material capable of capturing all the detail of the master just as beautifully as the normal lead alloy used in other Imbrian Arts miniatures.


This needs its own thread! Jody Siegel is the most gloriously talented bastard in the industry. Even the promo video is fascinating. :froth: :froth: :froth:

Inspiring stuff. Now I just need to see if I can scrape together some pennies to actually back it. :cry:

I'm not getting sucked into it. It's already $245 to get at least one of everything except the resin pieces. Still, I might watch fleabay after it's delivered to see about picking up some bits here and there.


I'll see you there.


Better make a note in next year's diary then; delivery November '13 :loopy:


OFFS - I hadn't noticed that - that is a bit ridiculous
It doesn't matter anyway, just buy some figures from the mightiest sculptor in the world! All Hail the creator! Brought forth from the loins of a 3 legged yorkshire terrier! Look upon his majesty!

Yes! My own God damned thread about a kick starter! That's what the world needs.

You have no idea how debilitating a kick starter is. I just want to stare at this computer all day. I can't even make simple choices about my life. Should I take a shower? Should I make a thread about the kick starter now and then eat a bowl of lucky charms while I stare at the screen? Or should I eat lucky charms now because I'm hungry? But what about the shower, when do I do that?
