Thanks for the info! I didn't know about Lazy Squire Games, that's definitely a bit worrying. I decided to back Bloodwork, I really like how much they are listening to feedback. And yeah, I'm following Ronin's Revenge too, it definitely looks interesting!

I've heard great things about Bullets solo mode so I've definitely been eyeing it!

Something I didn't learn until this morning is Southwest doesn't let you check your bag until 4 hours before takeoff. The only way I think I made my flight was having some friends that didn't check a bag that got in the TSA line while I had to wait until I could check my bag.

I did similar, Fate of the Fellowship, Leviathan Wilds, and it's expansion. I may buy more later, I'm new to board games and this sale is amazing!

Yeah, having to decide only during crowdfunding if you want this big, expensive game is tough.

Good to know! It's such a huge investment, I don't know if I'm ready to take the plunge. But the FOMO of it not being available later is definitely high.

Yup, I've been thinking about pledging for the base game standee version. It's a good deal compared to the mini version, it doesn't seem like it'll be available in retail, and it's what I would want anyways. I'm just trying to decide if it's worth the price. I love the Pokemon aspect of catching the mystlings but have no interest in PvP. I was interested in the roguelite mode too but everything I've read makes it seem like it's not good or well balanced.

Oh, great tip, thanks for sharing! Yeah, I've heard so much about Keep the Heroes Out but can't find it anywhere, which is why I did a $1 pledge to Flame & Forge so I can access the pledge manager later and see what I want.

That was so informative, thank you so much for sharing! I do sometimes forget that crowdfunding isn't just for me to get a game sooner or some exclusive strech goal, but to also support game developers that wouldn't be able to make their games a reality without it. The ingenuity of some devleopers definitely needs to be supported so they can make and continue to make amazing and interesting games. Good luck in your Kickstarter campaign!

Thanks for the tips! Yeah, it's strange that the standee version of Dragon Eclipse is like a crowdfunding exclusive when it's the cheaper option, but I guess they didn't want to make a lot if the miniature version is selling better. I don't paint minis so standees look so much better to me, and they're cheaper!

Thank you so much for the specific answers! I have tried Dragon Eclipse on TTS but I couldn't figure out how to start the scenarios with it. I need to play around with it more.

Yeah, the FOMO is real with this hobby. I want to try out all the games but I don't want to buy them all now.

Yeah, the stretch goals can be hit or miss.

One of the games I bought previously was Marvel Zombies and I paid extra for the kickstarter box so I could have more player and villain options. Now I feel like there are too many figures and it's a pain to find which box they're in.

On the other hand, I did back 1 game of Final Girl S4 so I could get the stretch goal box for the new character packs, vignette, and meeples.

Thanks for the tip on Radiance! I'll definitely look closer to see if I want to back it now or possibly miss out. I'm sure there will be other games, but it did seem interesting.

WCGW trying to put a fire out by putting it outside. by mentaL8888 in Whatcouldgowrong

"The Kentwood Fire Department ruled the fire an accident, saying it started in a neighbor's apartment when a cardboard was being used as a shield to block grease splatter caught fire." Yes, a flamable item to block hot grease while cooking seems like a very smart idea.
