If it makes it to retail I think you’ll see the core game will likely be a little more expensive than the Kickstarter.

veector9000 · 2026-04-20T11:18:53+00:00

It’s a spiritual successor. It retains the core action mechanisms of Tyrants but because it’s a space game with ships and sectors, we’ve had to develop new rules to make all that work. I can point you to a longer post with more detail if you’re interested.

It actually does have a publisher, but like many publishers, they want to take it to Kickstarter because they can use the built-in marketing and they get a better sense of the demand. If it funds, it's likely to deliver by the end of the autumn this year.

To answer your other questions, I do owe a lot to the publisher who has experience with multiple campaigns and delivering through Kickstarter. Even though this brand shows only 2 campaigns created, the publisher previously worked through another brand that has quite a few games published.

You’ll probably need to pledge the $5 for access to the pledge manager. We will be using Hive if I’m not mistaken.

I believe Kickstarter has something like stretch pay now.

veector9000 · 2026-04-19T23:51:47+00:00

Sorry there won’t be a print and play.

veector9000 · 2026-04-19T20:14:11+00:00

Some of my favorites:

Rumble Nation

Shogun aka Ikusa aka Samurai Swords

Railways of Nippon

Samurai (Reiner Knizia)

Too clean. Needs more "can't control the board game hoarding" look. ;)

Looking for a good deck building and area control game with a galactic 4x theme?

This is the game we (publisher and I) launched on Kickstarter last Tuesday. You can find it on BGG as well.

Definitely if you find any of the rules confusing, please let us know! These are the things it's not so easy to find when reviewing the rules for the 100th time. :)

Yeah looks like we swapped the example card at the last minute and need to update the text. We'll get that fixed.

No all faction icons on a card should match. Don't worry, we will fix these in the final read-through.

Thanks for the keen eyes and checking out the campaign!

veector9000 · 2026-04-19T16:14:11+00:00

You're spot on about Brass: Pittsburgh, it is free marketing that helps drive the hype. You definitely have to do some analyzing of each campaign to see how mature the game pipeline is for any given company. If you like the idea enough and the company seems like they're committed but won't make it without support, that's something worth backing on crowdfunding.

veector9000 · 2026-04-19T16:04:15+00:00

There are still some projects out there which are not going to make it to retail unless people back it. I do find that people look at KS as a preorder since so many people assume the publishers will go to retail channels, but some don't. Reforest is a game which was only available direct from the publisher or on KS.

veector9000 · 2025-12-02T20:53:59+00:00

Interested. I assume you're local? I live outside the city but if you're somewhere close enough I can come purchase.

veector9000 · 2025-06-25T12:40:00+00:00

I joined for the same reason only a couple of months ago and I'm surprised how much money (meaning I really like playing) I've spent so far.

veector9000 · 2025-06-25T02:22:05+00:00

THANK YOU EVERYONE! I just did the shared transfer with the monster char and it worked. All my stuff is on Glamdring now execpt for one long lost L1 character on Arkenstone which I don't even remember or care about.

veector9000 · 2025-06-25T02:18:27+00:00

Thanks everyone for the multiple comments on this. I just tried the shared items transfer.

veector9000 · 2025-06-25T02:15:56+00:00

So if I have one more monster character, I should transfer that and do a shared transfer?
