Traveller Dice Game - To Honor Grandfather

[MongooseMatt]

Our friends at Cheese Weasel have just started a Kickstarter for a new Traveller Dice and Exploration game - To Honor Grandfather.

Each player takes on the role of a young Droyne in a quest of honour under Grandfather's eyes!

The game looks great - backed.

I play tested this game at Traveller Con last year. It was a blast, I highly recommend it. The cards and dice looked great. I think there may be some interesting uses for the components in RPG play. Also, if you missed the metal Droyne Coyns in their last Kickstarter, you can pick up a set here.

I've done my duty for tyafelm and oytrip; this looks fun.

Backed - I just hope Grandfather doesn't enjoy being honored and then turn on us all in some kind of ... I dunno ... some kind of final war or something.

Just got an email from the campaign to tell me there is a tie in of sorts with the Mongoose Ancients trilogy, some extra cards.

I think this game kickstarter needs more advertising - has it been mentioned in other rpg sites yet?

So did I; I agree that it's a blast and that the demo set looked great. I mentioned both the game and the Coyns in my AAR from that TCUSA; they've got the links on the Campaign page for the Kickstarter. Sadly, they can't make it to TCUSA this year, but "maybe (hopefully) next year"...

Cheese Weasel announced on the kickstarter yesterday a collaboration with Mongoose to bring some elements of the Ancients Trilogy into the game as a free crossover expansion! So cool

 

[Sigtrygg]

Can everyone take the time to spread word about this kickstarter. I want it to succeed.

 

[FreeTrav]

I'm "bumping" this because the uptake rate doesn't look like it's enough to fund it before the Kickstarted expires; there's still $7000ish to go, with only three weeks left. If you haven't backed it, please do so; if you have, please consider some of the add-ons, especially the set of Coyns. I really want this one to succeed; it deserves it.

 

[Sigtrygg]

Has the campaign been posted on X, Fleecebook, Instapron etc?

Have people been spreading the word on other rpg forums?

Could MWM and Mongoose send out an email to past kickstarter backers so they know about it?

 

[FreeTrav]

I read books, I don't Face them, so I don't know if it's been posted there; I'm also not a Xwit, so I don't know if it's posted there. I do know that it's been on the TML, the TNE IOGroup, and here and CotI, and I talked it up at TravellerCON/USA. IIRC, I found out about it because I'm on one of Marc Miller's Traveller-related mailings; I suspect that anyone who's bought any of his CDs got the notification.

Amen.
I found out about it because I have two bags of Coyns and Kickstarter is, well, okay, maybe exactly like a shopping addiction.

Another bump...

There's about a week and a half left, and a bit over $5000 to go - but because some of the costs of production have gone DOWN, seven of the eight "stretch goals" have been unlocked even without the baseline funding goal being reached. If you haven't backed this, please do; if you have, please see if you can see your way to increasing your pledge - this is a Kickstarter that really does deserve to succeed.

 

[WHULorigan]

The Kickstarter has about 50 hours to go and is about 3400 USD short of reaching its funding goal. So if there is still anyone potentially interested in supporting the project, now is the time.

I hope they make it. *crosses fingers* One of the few physical products I've ever backed.

 

[Geir]

Well, $45 is the only really viable option unless you're a store. So by my math, they need 68 more people at that level.

There is an option to add additional money to your pledge level as a bonus to help the project, but as noted that is merely optional.

 

[Sigtrygg]

Base game + expansion + extra set of dice + coynes

 

[Vormaerin]

Yeah, I spent $84 or something since I don't already have some of the other options.
