For this one, that would be anywhere from $4,000 to as much as $12,000 depending on how many see it.<br /><br />With Backerkit Crowdfunding, the network effects are smaller. Nightmare Fuel - my only other project on the platform - attracted about 40% of the first day's total.

"We can't do (fill in exploration plan) without (all of the front-line fighters/both clerics/both wizards/so-and-so's scout/etc.)" Even if a year before we had less players and less PCs, the expectations get raised by the times there is a full house.<br /><br />Even so, I wouldn't want to try to integrate new players in last minute just to fill out the ranks, unless it was someone we're hoping will just be part of the group.Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-32665967417338075422024-02-25T21:16:52.849-05:002024-02-25T21:16:52.849-05:00Have you ever considered alternate players who are...Have you ever considered alternate players who are on call to fill slots when main players need time off?<br /> No guarantees of playing, but on the list of resources the party can call on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-80688227190330137602024-02-25T13:14:48.849-05:002024-02-25T13:14:48.849-05:00Kabuki Kaiser's Ruins of the Undercity and Mad...Kabuki Kaiser's Ruins of the Undercity and Mad Monks of Khartoum are great solo generators for troupes.

That was a true solo. Then we did Dark Lord's Doom (which is being turned into Saethor's Bane) and the four-character unit was the unique thing. Dragon Hunt! was meant to be a solo ... but then we found you needed ALL THREE pregens to survive the thing, so it became one of those things where the "typical" Gaming Ballistic solo embraces troupe play ... but we didn't start out to do it that way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-32850378120124176282024-02-18T10:12:08.566-05:002024-02-18T10:12:08.566-05:00This is tough - the last game I played with TL8+ w...This is tough - the last game I played with TL8+ was andi jones's post-apocalypse campaign, which isn't a typical game for loadouts.
