Reply To: So the recent 9th age Kickstarter campaign failed to fund. Any thoughts on why?

@tankcommander I’m not sure that GW’s decision to end WHFB is really anything to do with the failure of the 9th Age Kickstarter, I think the Kickstarter failed on its own shortcomings.  GW, if they had wanted to, could likely have made WHFB or similar rank and file game work, perhaps not with the senior management they had at the time but certainly they could do so now.

I think TMS just didn’t present the Kickstarter correctly. It wasn’t very clear what it was; it wasn’t for 9th age, it was for some miniatures that could be used with 9th age if you want. It was also not actually creating miniatures, all of those miniatures arr currently available, as far as I can tell, so if you want them you can buy them any time you want, perhaps at a time when you don’t have Christmas presents to buy. But I also think perhaps TMS have also misjudged the 9th age audience many of whom probably don’t want to buy the expensive miniatures like those on the Kickstarter when they can get more models for less money elsewhere.
