EXTRA FUNDING CAMPAIGN

Pledge Total: $45,161.00 CAD (updated on Nov. 2nd, 2018)

 

DP9's Extra Funding Campaign for our Peace River & NuCoal Core Plastic Miniatures is now live on the DP9 Pledge Manager website. Our Kickstarter raised over $40K CAD, unlocking our initial funding goal and numerous stretch goals, but not the $50K CAD goal we really wanted to reach. Hence our Extra Funding Campaign, please support Dream Pod 9 as an Outside Backer and pickup a new plastic miniatures army for Peace River, NuCoal, and/or Utopia at $70 CAD each, or one of our other great Backer reward level deals and maybe a few Add-Ons as well.

Login and create your pledge manager account, select your reward level and any add-ons and then checkout paying your pledge and fixed shipping cost. Backer reward packages are expected to start shipping in March 2019.

Heavy Gear Blitz Peace River & NuCoal Kickstarter Launch Update and NuCoal Chevalier 3d Model Preview!

We are going to need 1 more week to get everything finished up for the Kickstarter launch. We've been working with the 3d modelers, who are finishing up the NuCoal Chasseur, Jerboa, and Chevalier models in Solidworks. The Jerboa still needs a few last fixes to be made to the 3d model before we show it to everyone. As soon as the Jerboa finished (should be this weekend) we'll be able to do the Kickstarter video and launch the Kickstarter the middle of next week (Wednesday Evening April 25th, 2018).

HGB Feedback Friday Week 6: Followup & New Poll Questions.

Last week we only had 20 members voting on the polls, its a bit low, so we'll leave the polls open to get more feedback from players. For those who did vote we had 90% wanting us to lower the TV on gears with Snub Cannons and Bazookas, like we had in the rolled back January 2018 Living Rulebook Update. We had 65% wanting the Anti-Vehicle Rocket Pack (LRP, MRP, HRP) Area Effect Trait changed to AE:2" and AP:1 added,but we also got a lot of feedback saying that the MRP and HRP should get larger Area Effects, we'll be asking poll questions this week on that. For our Artillery Rockets getting Armor Piercing trait “AP:1” added 90% like that idea. And 80% liked the Combat Weapon getting getting and “AS” Anti-Structure Trait added. But for our increasing the Grenade Launcher PEN levels by 1 to 8/9/10 poll we had 60% for it and 40% against, and some great feedback in the comments, we'll have to do some more playtesting and comeback to this in the future.

Decision overload

There is a fundamental problem in the modern world, and the game world that has a name: Decision Overload. It's particularly obvious during the holiday season when people start looking for presents. You go to a store and you look at your options. You want to buy a present but there's fifty options with so many differences. Your brain can't process all the options so you end up making your decision based on incomplete information, or just not making a decision at all. 

In game terms decision overload can occur in different parts of the game.
