It’s an online game, sort of: honestly, I mostly care that Alan Dean Foster is writing for it.
Not that any of you actually care, but I have a good score on picking Kickstarters that get funded. As in, perfect*. This one I’m hoping won’t spoil my record…

*Admittedly, I often come late to the party.
It is difficult to articulate just how old this Kickstarter makes me feel.

Don’t randomly look at Kickstarter projects that are Ending Soon. You may end up being mildly appalled, slightly melancholy, and moderately wistful. All at the same time.
:pause:
…Ow.
It’s a superhero novel; I have tossed in because C.J. Carella has written some pretty good GURPS 3E stuff, including GURPS War Against the Chtorr and GURPS Voodoo: The Shadow War. Worth a shot, I’d say.

PS: I’m not going to pretend that the KS video wasn’t slightly cheesy.
They finally announced the Kickstarter for the second Guilded Age webcomic compilation. I have the first, as well as a pretty sweet print up on the wall, so I’ve been waiting for this to get announced…
[pause]
Erm.
Umm.
I… hesitate to show the Kickstarter video. I shall compromise by showing it after the fold, so as to not alarm the sensibilities of my refined and classy readers.
Now’s the time to get in on that.
Alas, I don’t think that there’s going to be enough interest for In Nomine to be one of the alt-variants. Pity. Luckily, 2nd ed AD&D will likely be one of the choices, so at least my wife will …well, not like it. Tolerate it better, perhaps.
My wife is going to kill me. Gee, THANKS, Constant Reader Crawford.

PS: Anybody who Kickstarts this one: I’d take it as a personal favor if you tell the guy that the alternate game that you’d want a poster of was In Nomine.
Let me take a moment or two off from what is becoming an epic eye-rolling session at the Internet to show off a couple of treasures that have arrived in the mail. First off, from Studio Foglio:
That’s the medal and signed card from their second-to-last Kickstarter. Notice that I’ve saved some space there: there’s a reason for that. Anyway, then there’s this fun stuff from Howard Tayler…
Absolutely had to have the “Not my circus, not my monkeys” challenge coin. Absolutely. Also, note that those two Tagon Toughs coins are Series One. Only the people who… were lucky enough to hit the critical time window, honestly… were able to snap those up.
I can’t seem to muster it up when it comes to dealing with Kickstarter delays. And it’s just Kickstarter; product delays in other situations gets the irrationally intense petulant anger operating just fine (although I carefully hide it, because, you know, it’s really lame). Weird.
No, seriously, I’m not even losing my sh*t about the OGRE delays. Then again, I figured that the original December 2012 delivery date was an exercise in wishful thinking crack-smoking anyway.
In case you were not aware, Skin Horse is one of my favorite webcomics*. So I’m a sucker for their Kickstarters.
…And that’s pretty much it. No doubt to Shaenon’s perpetual bemusement.

*Monster of the Week is pretty boss, too. This is just one example of why.
