  1. I think Publishers should move away from Kickstarter.
    Here's why:
    1. You deal directly with the consumer.
    2. Product can be cheaper as Publishers don't have to pay Kickstarter a cut.
    3. No more "Kickstarter Exclusives" now they're Backer Exclusives which means they can sell them at a later date without the side of salt.
    4. Kickstarter is anti-union, this will give them grief later on.

  2. 3:13 ‘How am Ya?’ I’m from very near the Black Country. They are called Yam Yam’s and they pretty much are Birmingham. Couple of miles at most. Yam yams are brummies but not all brummies are Yam yams. That’s the way to think it.

  3. abandoned kickstarter?

    abandoned all their backers with an unusable board with no way to play the game without stacking things into piles. I can't believe they aren't offering an at cost to the consumer solution for etherfield's board.

    I can't believe they are missing delivery for months on nemesis because their boards are falling apart pre shipping.

  4. Here is hoping we add the show-formerly-known-as-Underdogs barking sound effect to this show too. ❤️⬇️🐺. Please and thank you Rodney Chaz Newsprogramme and Matthew Talkman.

  5. off topic but I want to know. what type of shelving do you use for your games? I have a crapload of board and card games and over time it warps the shelves. I have cheap walmart brand book shelves.

  6. They make it sound like gamefound is the only one doing day based content releases but they were done by several games on kickstarter before gamefound. I think it was just based on the way the publisher decided to do things and not the way kickstarter wanted it done.
