ooh … I see the party has already started.
Pledge ?
Listening to the UHH on tuesday … that is definitely on my list now.

Oak&Iron is in. Need to check that one to see if it is complete.

As is the ‘Evil dead’ boardgame that was ‘free’ because the creators felt like they had to allow backers of a different Evil dead boardgame kickstarter a chance to get the game. IMHO the creators of the original project simply underestimated total costs and also were doing their first boardgame … others say they were fraudulent/scammers, but I seriously doubt it.
Anyways … free stuff is always cool (only shipping costs).

Got my Batman season 2 bits.
I admit that I got into the 1st and 2nd kickstarter for this game not merely for the game, but also because I kind of wanted Batman-themed skirmish game one way or another.
The Knight Models are pretty, but they’re also expensive finicky metal things.

The OTT Discord already provided me with one miniature agnostic superhero themed skirmish game to look at.

It also made me realise that there is a lot of that sort of stuff out there, but it rarely gets mentioned unless the stars align (Frosthaven & Rangers being prime examples). I suspect it is because we are trained to expect updates and with the amount of new stuff getting released you need a ginormously active community to stay visible. And that’s the kind of stuff the smaller publishers simply can’t provide.

The likes of GW really have spoilt us …  and at the same time I doubt it is realistic to expect the little publishers to compete at a global level in the same way that the big boys do.

1) We’re nearly 50% through 2020 – how’s your hobby progress?
I’m at the same speed and progress I’ve been since before The Event(tm)

2) Are *they* watching us?
Nah, they are not watching us.
HE is watching is.
The Almighty Ctulluh …
all hail Ctulluh!
Iä! Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn!

3) What kind of merchandise would OTT fit best? Clothing (Shirts, hoodies, caps, FEZ!!!), gaming accessories (dice, dice bag etc) or something completely different?

Dicebags ?
Stickers. …
Temporary tattoos of the CoG-sign ?
Posters.

Oh and Dude!
One can’t mention dude without The Dude!

(Capaldi was awesome as The Doctor … especially in scenes like that one)
