Mit Titan Zero geht das neueste Spiel von King Racoon Games an den Start. Am 13.05. startet die Kampagne auf Gamefound. Doch worum geht es in dem Spiel? Was sind die Design-Ideen? Und wie lassen sich Kunst und Spieldesign verbinden? Felix Mertikat, Autor, Designer und Künstler steht uns Rede und Antwort. Und wie immer wenn Dennis und Felix reden, sind Abschweifungen vorprogrammiert. Freut euch auf coole Ansichten über den Nutzen von Würfeln und warum sie werfen sollte. Dennis führt durch die Folge. Viel Spaß und gut Brett!

  Denver-based game creator Luke Stratton, a former concert lighting designer, developed a pirate-themed tabletop RPG called “Pirate Borg” during the pandemic.

With limited alternatives, […]

Cultiste e cultisti. Il titolo ricorda un romanzo harmony ma nulla di quanto detto, dichiarato, annunciato o sostenuto nei minuti dell'episodio può essere minimanete associato o associabile ad un romanzo rosa. O forse si, bussando all'ingresso posteriore nel sordido vicolo della loro depravazione. Ripeschiamo quindi un format già sperimentato con successo più di cinque anni orsono. A condurre? Il Cap e il Duca a raccontarvi, con il consueto charme che li contraddistingue, quali sono stati i progetti crowdfunding che più hanno lasciato il segno nel loro cuore arido e rinsecchito, che hanno fatto nuovamente palpitare quelle arterie stanche, ad ossigenare i pigri muscoli che ancora li sostengono. E a svuotare il loro conto in banca. Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dunwich-buyers-club--2814177/support.

In dieser Folge des Brettspiel News Report befassen wir uns intensiv mit der aktuellen Situation von CMON, einem bekannten Unternehmen in der Crowdfunding-Branche für Brettspiele. Wir beginnen mit einem Rückblick auf die Entwicklung der letzten Jahre und beleuchten die Herausforderungen, vor denen das Unternehmen derzeit steht. Es wird deutlich, dass CMON in den letzten Monaten mit signifikanten Produktionseinschränkungen und einer drohenden finanziellen Instabilität zu kämpfen hat. Im Verlauf des Gesprächs diskutieren wir die jüngsten Ankündigungen von CMON, die alle zukünftigen Spieleentwicklungen und neuen Crowdfunding-Kampagnen aufgrund instabiler Handelsbedingungen einzustellen. Wir analysieren die Hintergründe dieser Entscheidungen und die möglichen Auswirkungen auf die Community, die seit Jahren hinter den Sammelprojekten steht.Dabei stellen wir fest, dass die Probleme nicht nur auf externe Faktoren wie Zölle zurückzuführen sind, sondern auch interne Missmanagement-Faktoren eine Rolle spielen. Eine der zentralen Fragen, die wir aufwerfen, ist die finanzielle Nachhaltigkeit des Unternehmens. Wir werfen einen Blick auf die beeindruckenden Summen, die CMON in der Vergangenheit durch Crowdfunding-Kampagnen eingenommen hat, und vergleichen diese mit den derzeit ausstehenden Lieferungen, die sich auf Millionenbeträge belaufen. Es zeigt sich ein besorgniserregendes Bild: Mehr als 26 Millionen Dollar an ausstehenden Verpflichtungen stehen gegen erschreckend niedrige Rücklagen, was das Vertrauen in die Zukunft des Unternehmens stark in Frage stellt. Um die Situation besser einordnen zu können, gehen wir auch auf die Entwicklung von CMON im Crowdfunding-Markt seit 2012 ein und beleuchten, welche innovativen Spiele und IPs das Unternehmen in seiner Geschichte hervorgebracht hat. Wir diskutieren die strategischen Entscheidungen, die CMON getroffen hat – zum Beispiel den Wechsel zu Gamefound – und deren Gründe, sowie die Herausforderungen, die sich aus der Abhängigkeit vom Crowdfunding-Modell ergeben.Abschließend ziehen wir eine pessimistischen Prognose für die Zukunft von CMON und stellen offen, dass wir im nächsten Jahr erneut darüber sprechen möchten, um zu sehen, ob das Unternehmen den Sturz vermeiden konnte oder ob wir bereits den Untergang eines Crowdfunding-Riesen erleben.

Cultiste e cultisti. Seconda difficile settimana senza il Cap Rubbo. Senza le sue mirabolanti avventure, senza la sua pacata ma ferma determinazione nell'impedire il corretto svolgimento dello Zufolo. Ci facciamo forza con il calore dei vostri commenti, sempre assennati, pieni di affetto e stima nei nostri confronti. Affrontiamo sicuri l'avvenire, con lo sguardo fermo tipico delle guardie rosse nei poster Maoisti, attendendo il ritorno del Nostro dall'Australia. Australia nella quale BTW i Nostro ha appena battuto il record di pasti consumati nei food truck sparsi in giro per Sydney ed è stato insignito della medaglia al valore alimentare dal sindaco. Buon ascolto e come sempre… Ci vediamo dall'altra parte!Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dunwich-buyers-club--2814177/support.

Amiche cultiste, cultisti. A un certo punto, qualcuno si sarebbe anche potuto domandare: “Sì, ma alla fine, bello ridere e scherzare con i Patreon, la Cricca, mangiare, bere, lettera e testamento. Ma di fatto, cosa avete davvero combinato in quasi 30 ore dentro quella serie di edifici distopici, tra saloni giganteschi, scale mobili che non portano da nessuna parte, finestre che danno su altre finestre, alla periferia nord di Bologna?”. In risposta a questa legittima osservazione, possiamo affermare che l'episodio di oggi è appunto una gustosa zuppa, una miscellanea di giochi, aneddoti, retroscena, che è fermentata nell'ombra ed è ora pronta a rilasciare il suo empio aroma all'interno dei vostri fini nonché bramosi palati. Da notare che Ale ha contribuito eroicamente pur trovandosi al confino in altro emisfero, giusto per farvi capire la dedizione.Alla fine possiamo dire che in questo episodio abbiamo messo veramente di tutto e rappresenta il degno, pirotecnico finale della prima fase per la nuova, evoluta esperienza PLAY. Vi raccontiamo tutto. Allacciate le cinture. Buon ascolto e come sempre… Ci vediamo dall'altra parte!Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dunwich-buyers-club--2814177/support.

L'équipe d'Un Board Game Parfait se lance dans un nouveau concept avec une chronique: SIGNATURE D'AUTEUR dans laquelle nous analyserons les jeux de certains de nos auteurs favoris pour faire ressortir les éléments qui font leur signature d'auteur. On discutera de la signature de 4 grands auteurs, dont un de l'école euro classique allemande, un de l'école euro italienne, un maître des jeux historiques et un auteur qui aime bien briser le 4ème mur dans ses livres de règles.

Amiche cultiste, amichi cultisti. Questa settimana episodio specialissimo. Per festeggiare gli 8 anni di attività, abbiamo imbastito il nostro primo episodio completamente live; in altre parole, abbiamo radunato gli iscritti alla classica DBCena del weekend di PLAY e li abbiamo portati nel grande salone delle cerimonie de La Palazzina, un luogo che trasuda oscurità e cola nerdismo dalle pareti. Dopodiché, 80 minuti di episodio davanti a detto pubblico. Questa - l'avrete capito - è la fedele registrazione di quegli 80 minuti in formato podcast. È stata un'esperienza unica, soprattutto grazie alle domande (più o meno assurde) arrivate dalla platea. Un ringraziamento di cuore a Simone Maurizzi e a tutto lo staff per aver ospitato questo evento, che speriamo con tutto il cuore di poter ripetere l'anno prossimo. Buon ascolto e come sempre… Ci vediamo a Play 2026!Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dunwich-buyers-club--2814177/support.

Se siete sopravvissuti all'ascolto della puntata "montata" con l'aiuto della DA, la deficienza artificiale, non potete perdervi il ritorno dal vivo della festosa ciurma redazionale, intenta a far scherzi tra un Kickstarter ed un Gamefound...  Regia: guglie

Cultisti! Quando starete ascoltando questa drammatica registrazione, noi saremo molto probabilmente in auto, alla volta di Bologna. Carichi come le sveglie, fuori come i balconi, pronti come una tavola, lavati come un pavimento, splendenti come una lampadina. Sì, tutti questi sono detti ampiamente radicati e condivisi nell'immaginario popolare. Sono tutte espressioni atte a descrivere il nostro stato di estrema eccitazione e disordinata euforia per un evento cardine come la nuova PLAY e il nostro primo incredibile episodio dal vivo. SI.

Ready to dive into the world of crowdfunding with a twist? In Episode 216 of Crowdfunding Nerds, Sean and Andrew, unravel the mysteries of Gamefound's new advertising platform, AdFound. Could this be the game-changer creators have been waiting for, or is it just another player in the crowdfunding arena?  We dissect AdFound's competitive edge—offering a mere 5% fee on conversions compared to BackerKit's 15%—but is cheaper always better? We also tackle the crucial question of data ownership and the potential pitfalls of relying too heavily on centralized systems like Gamefound. Join us as we compare Gamefound's claims of being the top dog in board game crowdfunding against Kickstarter, and explore the real stories of creators like Dwarven Forge and The Dice Tower.

In episode 106 of Game Design Unboxed: Inspiration to Publication we talk with Jason Slingerland about his co-design Tír na nÓg. When Jason started designing in 2012 there weren't many resources for designers so he started the Building the Game podcast with a friend. He used the podcast to help himself and other designers learn more about games, the industry and design. Through the years Jason gained experience and had his 9th game Tír na nÓg released with Grand Gamers Guild. The game used a straddle draft mechanic mixed with different scoring mechanics to form a great entry-level game. It was used by the publisher to test Gamefound's crowdfunding platform and had a decent first print run but it sold out quickly thanks to reviewers which caused them to quickly put a second print run onto Kickstarter with extra content!    Featuring:  Jason Slingerland - Guest  Danielle Reynolds - Host

We're especially appreciative as he's knees deep in the Kickstarter campaign for his upcoming game, Emberleaf! also, Super-human Luke Prior is here! We're especially appreciative as he's knees deep in spotted dick. Also, he works for Gamefound.   As I wasn't in this episode, I have no idea what they talked about. Dan also left me no notes. I'm listening as I write this. So far, they've talked about: German potatoes Watching Monty Python films for free on slot machines The Gang Luke's degenerate gambling habit Ok, that's all I have time for. I need to get this out to your yearning earholes. I do know that the jist of the conversation revolves around crowdfunding. Speaking of, you really should check out Frank's cracking new game Emberleaf!
