2016 Kickstarter Game Update, Week 12

Game I Backed:
Hero Realms

Status: Funded

This fantasy re-theme of the Star Realms deckbuilding game will have an expansion for a cooperative (or solo) RPG campaign. I backed it to get the campaign, but I'm not thrilled with the way the project is being run. For one thing, anyone who wants the campaign is forced to back at the highest tier ($72 plus $10 shipping) and get a bunch of extra stuff, like $20 worth of Boss packs that aren't used in the campaign. For another thing, the campaign isn't completely designed yet, so there are no rules or gameplay examples for backers to make an informed decision. I'm considering dropping to a lower tier and picking up the campaign expansion when it's released for retail sale.

Honorable Mention:
The Duchess

Status: Funded

This is a gaming table that is being manufactured at a standardized size so that it can be offered at a lower price than a custom table. For a solid piece of furniture, it's an impressively low cost, even including shipping.
