Well I think we’re both getting away from the subject of “news” into the rights and wrongs of the KS (my fault I started it). On other Frostgrave news, Did you know there’s going to be a new box set of plastic soldiers (this time female), news out last May http://wargameterrain.blogspot.com/2018/05/breaking-northstar-miniatures-plastic.html

And like some of the KS news not near launch yet (so not covered), however the KS news was?

I’d just like to see BoW go back more towards what it did best, covering all things coming out, unboxings and lets plays (as they still do, but perhaps more so in the past). But it’s perhaps all linked in to the KS schemes “drive” the news. However it’s starting to stop being news, and more towards marketing these days. Don’t get me wrong, when Colin and Justin did their “Lets Play” for Core Space I was unware of the KS, and happily backed it in the Backerit phase. Perhaps because this was a “small” KS (not one of the dominating companies that use KS for the marketing), that it had passed under the radar of many gaming news sites (and thanks to BoW for covering it). But that news was well timed and we the readers/viewers could act on it (ie it became relevant at the time). When KS “news” is all about maintaining your company profile, that’s not news….that’s free advertising.

Yet BoW has bills to pay, and adverts are one of the things that keeps BoW alive and us viewing, so perhaps I shouldn’t whinge too much 😀
