Vapourware Realms Beyond: Ashes of the Fallen - Chaos Chronicles reborn and dead again

[Bohr]

Trend pretty similar to many other kickstarters, and much as expected for an indie KS in 2018 without 'big names' or much publicity

D:OS fans dropping some truth bombs:

Incline that is
Incline that will be
Incline that could be
Incline that won't be <= Current temperature
Incline that is not​

Oh gee I wonder why. A game with tons of complicated features, no money in the bank, asking for 100k€. Developers live in Munich.

So much this.

 

[BEvers]

Today they've raised 3,208 Euros from 4 backers so far. This might be a Copper Dreams-style situation where the game is heaved to the finish line by a small group of fans who are willing to spend big.

Fuck you Infinitron - what does this post have to do with the whole Jarl situation? Absolutely fucking nothing. And neither does the original Haba post. Get them back to where they were originally posted.

Thank you.

Posted about it on a french forum, half the people dont like the graphics,but i bet quite a few pledged. People are extremely picky nowadays, absurdly picky. I think the game look is fine expect the portrait closer to something like arcanum than D&d fantasy. Only way to get this funded is by word of mouth, if every codexers post on some small indie forums that will add a few pledges at a time. That's the only way to fight the decline, one pledge at a time.
Btw where can you check backers country percentages? .

Communauté -> D'où viennent les contributeurs ?

(I set my Kickstarter to French so I don't completely forget the language )

[Mortmal]

Infinitron its not my fault, the spelling is from Kickstarter page...Btw how could you possibly notice it ? You have multiple citzenships, french and israeli ?

 

[BEvers]

Where's poland ?

$29 base tier -> fewer backers from Russia and Poland.

Looks like Golden Lands. Will be shovelware like Golden Lands too.

P.S. Infinitron (or another moron who split thread) sucks dick.

"Pyrrhenia"

Man, I wish someone made an RPG set in actual bronze age Etruscan times.

Mmh. Right. And, just out of curiosity, what do you find so interesting about "bronze age Etruscans"?

Yep, this game is being supported by connoisseurs and aristocrats, not plebs.

 

[Sailor Woedica]

graphics are pretty yikes, i'd show it off on my tumblr if there were romances tho (me and my online friends helped boyfriend dungeons campaign a lot!)

 

[YanBG]

This feels better than the Pathfinder, should be atleast on par with the attention.

HobGoblin42 do you plan getting a publisher, if not why?

What?

OK, fair, technically they were iron age, I meant it more broadly - bronze age and on, until the pre-Roman period.
It's a pretty unexplored virgin territory when it comes to games, or just media really. Plus we know surprisingly little about Etruscans themselves, mostly from points of view of other nations at the time, so you'd have freedom to make stuff up, maybe even insert some magic.
"The Etruscan", for example, by Mika Waltari is not as good as "Egyptian Sinuhet", but it's still a fun attempt to interpret this culture. Very mystical and poetic.

Anyway, I just like historical RPGs and there are almost none from the bronze age. It's all vikings and "muh dark ages" medieval stuff.

 

[Bohr]

Sure enough... Need a kiss of life? Call a Belgian.

Corrected it for you.

Sure bronze age etruscans could be an interesting historic setting...Lot of err roleplay .

Before the Etruscans, there was already at least two centuries of Iron Age Villanova Culture in those territories. The latest known Bronze Age culture in the area was the Terramare, which lasted until roughly half twelveth century BC. Regardless of the incertitude about the origins of the Etruscans, we are talking about a four and a half century gap between them and the latest Bronze Age findings in the area (Tuscany/Liguria/Emilia Romagna/Umbria/Northern Lazio).

P.S. I see that "Etruscan bronze age" is already a thing on the Codex, good job :D

 

[YanBG]

I agree. A bronze age RPG set in the Hittite/Asryrian/Mitanni world would be awesome.

It would end up westernized. There are no arab rpgs either. I've played some chinese though.
