Hey Mark Delsing and other supers nuts: was the original ever your jam? This whole campaign is so far out of my realm of interest but everything old is new again.

This looks like a hot fucking mess. No amount of boobs is getting them to $100k.
Reminder set.
Haha! The description is a disaster.
I also like that no one seems to be using minis in the sneak peek video, and they also state plainly that it’s not really using the original setting.
“Editorially diverse backgrounds and orientations of the characters statistically in-line with the population.”
WTF mate?
I mean, why is that worded that way?
Adam Day They’ve got Elvis The Incredible Fighting Llama. Duh. That’s diverse AF.
Maybe something for Ron Edwards to check out in hus current “super hero”-spree?
$800 for all the minis. Good lord. As for the game itself they’ve revolutionized the world by making the player roll instead of the attacker. Cypher systems already done that and I’m sure they weren’t the first. I
do have fond memories of wearing a blanket and thinking I’m a hero, nothing in this Kickstarter even looks to restore that fun. Strip the buzz words away and you have a points based skirmish game with some gorgeous mini-concepts, I won’t deny them that. But a skirmish game does not bring that childhood fun to life. Fortunately supers games that have done that already.
Somebody saw the Invisible Sun Kickstarter and started drooling.
What really bums me out is that while the original was not a very good game, the setting was really unique — there’s never been much like it in other SHRPGs. You could do a really cool game with its conceits as a base.
But, not today is not that day.
I’d love to know how Sandy Petersen got roped into this.
They got the rights to The Heap?! Yikes. For Perrin’s sake I hope it happens. EDIT Perrin really knows DIY four-color. I kinda want it.
Mark Delsing Point. Statistically speaking, llamas are in-line with a percentage of the population.
Can’t wait to get those minis on the discount rack, right next to those gorgeous Rackham minis!
Those are pretty minis…
I note that that this is the creator’s fourth Kickstarter. None of the previous 3 has funded.
If this was, instead, the people who make Bones doing a totally superhero mini Kickstarter, they might reach 100K. I would back that, even with the dumb t&a “special mini” promotion bullshit.
Preaching to the choir here but it is well off the path I would pay much for. Good luck to them! The minis are certainly pretty!
I’m pleased that I’m not the only one thinking this looks a bit bonkers. The miniature levels are vastly expensive for what you get and have only in the last day or two added a PDF version of the book. In fact looking at it they’ve also added a level with a PDF book, finally. Even so, this doesn’t look like it’ll back to $100k.
