Technically, this isn't roleplaying game material, but I suspect that a lot of RPGers would be interested in backing this KickStarter for a Dresden Cooperative Card Game (from Evil Hat):

But I suppose it's still worth mentioning here, as some people might only be coming to this neck of the woods rather than browsing the entire forum.

I would've missed it if not for this thread.
Anyway, it looks like the project's off to a great start. They ought to reach their last announced stretch goal pretty soon, and there's still 28 days to go...

Yeah I also would have missed it if not for this. At this rate I would think they'll get up to Small Favor easily. Who do you all think will be added in the 3rd Expansion? My guess is Marcone.
-
Maybe Kincaid?
-
Expansion 3 is already up there, featuring Luccio and Ramirez. I think we can reasonably predict who is going to turn up in the next expansions too.
Expansion 4 - Changes & Ghost Story. The Leanansidhe and McCoy/Vadderung.
Expansion 5 - Cold Days & Skin Game. Demonreach (alternately Sarissa or Cat Sith) and Goodman Grey.

Damn, this one is exploding. I'm really looking forward to where we can get this. I hope we get it to a point where we have all the books. We'll probably not get all the characters we want, because we'd want them all, but having all the books should at least also cover most of the important characters.
I don't even care that it'll cost me a liver to get it shipped over here.
-
The Kickstart is not going to produce more than these three expansions. There might be more coming after the game is actually published, but SmF/TC with Ramirez and Luccio is the last for now.
And Haru - where are you located? Most of EU will cost $20 shipping (that's what mine will cost), so Base Game + 3 x Expansion + Shipping will be ~$90. Not too violent for a boardgame even if I'm unsure if I can afford the expansions, since I'm unemployed....
-
I just saw the breakdown, yeah. I live in Germany, shipping from the USA is usually much worse. But it seems they found a way around that. Awesome.
-
Yeah, they're importing the shipment to the UK, then shipping it from there :p
-
Plus, it looks like as the next few* stretch goals will, among other things, grant a reduction in shipping costs, up to $10 off.
*By which I mean, "10".
-
I "accidently" just pledged for the kickstarter. Looks really nice. Yeah, the shipping for things from the US is often horrible. And at least from the point of view of the Swedish department of taxation, a crowdfunding as that is subject to taxation, so I should add upp to 25% VAT* on the cost, and then might also have to pay duty-fees on such purchases.
* Depends a bit on what is bought, but 25% being the top. I believe books in physical form is just 6%, electronic form though has the full 25%..

I think we might get around the VAT in this case since they'll import it to UK first, but I'm not sure... (Fellow swede here ;) )
-
Yeah, it is the shipping that have me on the fence, but I might pledge in the future, after all one of the stretch goals(the last one I think) is that backers get to read chapter one of peace talks.

Shipping is down to 15$ now, I think that's already fair. Though I am almost certain that the circle of gratitude will be completed, so it'll be 10$ shipping. And as far as I understand it, the Expansions aren't going to increase shipping, as they are small enough to fit in with the original package.
And yay, Vampire Susan has been unlocked. Very cool.
-
ok, then I might pledge soon :)
-
So the 9th stone has been revealed, and it's a hero deck for friggin' Mouse! It will be unlocked at $357k
-
Yay Mouse! He deserves it!
-
Really like that Mouse (and Mister) will make an appearance if it makes that much money. Not so sure though about the crossover-thing for the next stretchgoal. Had it been a more generic game, then I would have expected thta kind of cross-overs. Now though, I feel it will detract from the Dresden theme.

True, but as far as I understand it, you can but don't have to include it in your games, so it won't make that much of a difference, really. Though it could be fun to see what crossing over could do to the world, so it'd be fun to try and you'd have a model to use to convert other characters (I don't really know the other game, I just learned that it IS from another game). Granted, I'd rather have had another DF character (Morgan comes to mind) or more card switch options, but you can't have it all.
-
I would have preferred Toot and the rest of the Za-Guard or maybe Lea, but then she is way to overpowered.
Ah well, I do think it will be an interesting game though.
/Ulfgeir
-
Yeah, Toot would be cool as well. Though he could well be a switch deck for Harry.
Then again, I can already see the fan made decks popping up all over the place. :D
-
I'm completely uninterested in the crossover character deck, but figure that if it brings up the game on the radar of a few Sentinels players the extra reach can only benefit. This kind of KS lives and dies by its reach - not a lot of individual backers will go above ~$70, so the primary way to reach higher is getting the word out to more people.
Of course, they can't water it down by adding a bunch of crossover/non-Dresden stuff, but one character among 13 if we reach Mouse (which I have no doubt at all we will do) isn't really dilluting it much.
-

Build her deck around being unable to do anything unless paid, like a, well, faerie. Or she helps the bad guys (almost) as much as the good guys.
-
pledged now :) Let's cross our fingers for 375 00 $ goal.
-
Got my pledge in too. I just hope we get Mouse.
-
Given the steady flow of pledges over the last several days, I have complete confidence that we'll reach both Mouse and the Peace Talks preview even before the last two-day rush.
In fact, I'm getting very curious about what the next set of stretch goals is going to be. That preview sets a pretty high standard!
-
Kicktraq (https://www.kicktraq.com/projects/evilhat/the-dresden-files-cooperative-card-game/#chart-exp-projection) expects 418-563 grand. And given the strength of the stretch goals, I'd expect this project to be closer to the high-end projection than the low-end one.
So I'm confident Mouse will be reached.
-
I'm just looking forward to the chapter one of peacetalks stretch goal :) Nice webpage that Kicktraq
-
Not long left for the peace talks chapter one goal :)

Not long left for the peace talks chapter one goal :)
By which you mean 'we made it', right?
-
Not at the time of my posting but we have made it now.
-
So this was a success. almost 550k and the Peace Talks chapter is out. So excited. :)
-
And now I want chapter 2. And 3, and... ah to heck with it. I WANT IT ALL!

I WANT IT ALL!
And I want it NOW!

Been away for a while and totally missed out on the KS for this. Guess I'll have to wait until it hits the game stores. Eventually. :-(
-
I think I remember someone say something about being able to get in over the backerkit after the KS is over. Though I'm not sure if you had to be in there with at least a dollar or something like that.
Then again, the games will be delivered to backers sometime in 2017 and I believe they will hit the stores not long after, so all you might be missing out on are the backer exclusives.
-
If you completely missed the KS you have two options:
* Wait until spring-ish 2017 when it hits retail soon after KS fulfillment. No KS exclusives.
* Get in contact with someone who has backed, and deal with them to up their pledge for a copy. There are several retailers that have backed, they will most likely be more than happy to let you preorder. All KS exclusives included.
