I’d like to see this do well, but at halfway through the campaign I think the incrementalism strategy will backfire. As of this writing only the first module has been unlocked, and getting to the second will require roughly tripling the current funding.

The campaign covers the first five modules, and how many are delivered depends on how well the campaign funds.
#HAND OF FATE 2 KICKSTARTER SERIES#
Banality is more a series of micro-RPGs, each one representing a key element in the story of the uprising. What makes Banality quite different, though, is the delivery. The core of the game is loosely Cyberpunk, set at the beginning of an AI uprising, and the rules use the surroundings of the players to make the ingame setting more immersive. Banalityīanality is an interesting micro-RPG experiment.
#HAND OF FATE 2 KICKSTARTER PDF#
£15 (~$21) gets you the full PDF of this one. Fortunately, a pretty hefty (132 pages) intro PDF is available straight from the campaign. While I’m already a fan, A|State wasn’t exactly a top 5 seller even in its day, so you might need an introduction. Now, the dystopian city game is being rebooted using Forged in the Dark, showing that this dystopian city is ready to be thrust screaming into the future. Now, A|State? A|State originally came out in 2004, right around the time I was finally running my own campaigns in high school and hungry for more of what was out there. First came a new edition of SLA Industries, which brought the wit from the first edition, along with most of the mechanics. A|State Second EditionĪll the dystopian games from my adolescence are getting remade. Beyond those, though, all eight below are all worth checking out, and should help you ease the pain of missing this year’s superspreader event GenCon. Then you can read Seamus’s quickstart review of Avatar Legends, the new game from Magpie Games! That brings us up to nine, but you can count Avatar Legends twice if you also read the Meet the Party Seamus put together. Well, that’s because, whether you know it or not, you got way more Kickstarter content this month than usual! Check out my preview of Dreampunk, which is still live for another ten days…really neat game using imagery cards to drive play through a dream world. Welcome to Kickstarter Wonk for August! Now, you might be looking down the headings and notice we only have seven games and an honorable mention.
