Last day - a big thank you for all involved.  Just to make things even more interesting in the last 15 hours, I am going to drop the target for our next stretch goal from $185K to $175K.  Lets see if that helps us get it.  (Read More)

One of the hardest things about running my own Kickstarter campaign this past month was that I didn’t have nearly as much time as I wanted to tell you about other cool Kickstarter projects. I mentioned a few within my own campaign updates, but now that mine has wrapped up I thought I’d give you a quick rundown of several projects I’ve had my eye on. (Read More)

Yes, I really want to add these two new specialists, think they add a lot to the game and provide a lot of value to your pledge rewards.  I haven't worked out how these would be sold at retail, but expect that the MSRP of both figures would be... (Read More)

I wanted to let you guys know about one of my favorite board games, Flash Point: Fire Rescue. It is a cooperative game that up six players can enjoy. Each player takes on the role of a firefighter in attempts to save victims trapped in a burning building before it comes crashing down on them. It uses a creative dice grid system to advance the fire in the house thoughtout the game. Explosion and Hot Spots help to give this game a realistic sense of urgency as they destroy the foundations of the building while knocking down firefighters as well as killing helpless victims. The cooperative nature of the game makes planning a big part of how the game plays out. (Read More)

And when you’re on the game’s website already, there’s also a blank scenario sheet for you to come up with your own ways to suffer a horrible deathplay. (Read More)
