Four Horsemen Studios Mythic Legions

Cookie Monster orc is a lot to ask Dek.. :LOL:

It's funny - the homages is what made me notice this line in the first place, but the non homage knights are the ones that I actually like enough to buy currently.

But a lot of people will give $1 to a fully funded campaign to get that “Super Backer” badge by their name

I don't think that's how it works, though, is it? Don't you have to pledge a minimum of 10 dollars to 20 campaigns in a single year for that? Still a very low threshold, but I don't think it's as low as 'give literally 20 dollars per year.'

you’re right, $10 for 25 funded campaigns.
It’s a dollar to comment on a campaign though which is my confusion.

Which is still a ridiculously low buy in for a “super backer”

I’m dropping more than that on this one stupid campaign and I’m just some asshole?! But someone who gave $10 to 25 fully funded projects gets to pretend to Joey Million Bucks walking around saying “well I’ve backed a lot of projects and in my opinion, as a SUPER BACKER, some fat tiddied Orc Mommies would push this campaign over $2m easily…”

I don't disagree on any point. Actually, I don't think 'super backer' should even be a thing. I literally do not care how many things you've backed or at what value. It has absolutely no bearing on the value of your opinions or you as a person. But if you are going to have some kind of ego-stroke title like that, spending 250 bucks in an entire year is a pretty low bar when, yeah, most of us will spend more than that on a single campaign for toys.

I get having a dollar pledge, if you're gonna always say shit like 'every dollar matters.' But man, I'm really not sure I think it's a good idea to let someone have access to the messages functions just because they tossed in a dollar and, therefore, have basically no dog in the fight at all. They can just clog everything up with shit, irrelevant opinions.

Me too. I skipped the first Kickstarter but they got me with the Man-At-Arms orc that I thought looked cool. I threw a Bronze Dwarf onto the order to check it out and because it was $25 or whatever and ended up liking that a lot more than the orc.

It was off to the races after that.
 
We need to unite for Cookie Monster Orc. His name will be Cooh'Kay the Mohnstar, and he will eat you lunch's snack.

This is Mythic Legions. He will be Koooooookaii Mmonnstr because they never met a letter they didn't think they needed extra of in a character name.

...and you ruined it.

Just kidding. If you don't mind my asking, what did you think of the Savage Crucible Trading cards and do you think they will be better or worse than this Kickstarter's game?

I actually forgot to even open them til you asked, but I just unboxed them and honestly, as someone who runs a LOT of 5e? I could drop these cards into a game without any additional prep. The NPC cards are a little busy, but that's kind of a hallmark of Pathfinder and early 5e, and the Heraldic Marks aren't game changers or anything, but they actually try to give some flavor to the characters and setting with it - Who-Man having a "promethean sword" to explain the hot-metal look of it, giving the Frazetta warrior an attack using his shield, it's actually got some thoughtful if not complex game mechanics to it.

But I wouldn't call it its own game - I'd say it's like "here's a stat block you can throw into your home game VERY easily."
 
Do you think they're better designed than what the Four Horsesmen have been alluding to with their game? Or there's no way to know right now?

I suppose there's no way of knowing, but if I look at the work that went into the Savage Crucible cards - which show that they understand 5e, understand their characters, and want to make their characters unique, flavorful, and intentional, and the vanilla slop 4H has shown in the four pages of book material they've actually let anyone look at? Savage Crucible's cards were written by someone who gives a shit (even if they're a little messy and those stat blocks are TOO DAMNED LONG! :) ). What 4H has shown us so far is basically a font change from existing 5e species stats.

(BTW, happy to break down from a game design why teh SC stuff is better. I opened the cards expecting slop and was like shit, I could USE Ko'Mo as an NPC in my games with this card, this ain't terrible!)
