Let's not let this project go the way of Mythic Hero... I'm inspired. I doubled my pledge and went in for a PDF. Let's see this thing.

I fear the price difference between signed and unsigned copies may be too much for folks. Alas, since the people involved are all in different states, doing the signed copies involves several more shipments. Let me see if there's a way I can lower that category a bit... dw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gojira Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Re: CHAMPIONS LIVE ACTION Kickstarter from Darren and Silverback Press! Gave a quick look after exercise today, and it's up to 99 backers and over $5,000. There may be an effect now of people starting to "pile on" as the goal gets nearer and nearer. Go go gadget Champions LARP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gojira Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Re: CHAMPIONS LIVE ACTION Kickstarter from Darren and Silverback Press! Found on another website: Just above this news you might notice that there's a change to the center-page ad slot. In response to their raising almost $3M through Kickstarter, Brian Fargo of inXile entertainment began a project adjacent to Kickstarter called "Kicking it Forward", to encourage those who have had successful projects to pledge 5% of the eventual profits of whatever they funded to other Kickstarter projects. This might be something to look into to get Champions LARP over the top... http://kickingitforward.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Watts Posted April 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Re: CHAMPIONS LIVE ACTION Kickstarter from Darren and Silverback Press! Hey guys! Just ten+ days left and still about $3700 short of the goal! Please consider pledging something to help support third-party publishers continuing to do Hero-related projects going forward! dw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Re: CHAMPIONS LIVE ACTION Kickstarter from Darren and Silverback Press! Still more than $3,400.00 to make up with only one week left! We have only a little over a hundred pledges so far. Anybody else thinking about pledging, now would be a good time to pull the trigger.

It's up to you![/quote'] My first reaction when reading this was that somebody (or -bodies) must have gone in on the $2,500 option and that proves to be the case. Indeed, if I've read the Kickstarter right, someone upgraded a prior pledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcw43921 Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Re: CHAMPIONS LIVE ACTION Kickstarter from Darren and Silverback Press! In for $20. Wish it could have been more. The negative attitude towards LARPing displayed in some of these posts bothers me a bit--it's like some people think the only way to role-play is to hunch over a table, declare actions and roll dice, and if you're doing something other than that--then that ain't playin'. It's like these people forget--LARPing is the first role-playing many of us first experience. Whether it's Cowboys and Indians, or Pirates, or Spacemen flying to the Moon--it's all LARPing, even if we didn't call it that. Here's an example of some LARPers-- And these guys are LARPers too-- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kIienFpPzk&feature=youtu.be And many players didn't even have the toys. They'd tie a towel around their necks, and/or pick up a cardboard tube for a sword or a stick for a magic wand. And again, we may not have called it LARPing, but that's what it was. Would the movie Role Models have been as good if it had been about table-top RPGing instead of LARPing? I don't think so. Miniature wargaming may be regarded as the "official" beginnings of RPGs, but they owe as much to the guys who played Cowboys and Indians and other such games--the original LARPers--as they do to anything else. It would do us well to remember that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Re: CHAMPIONS LIVE ACTION Kickstarter from Darren and Silverback Press! I have nothing at all against LARP or its proponents. It just doesn't interest me. I didn't do it as a child either -- make of that what you will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just doesn't interest me. +1 Am supporting this project for reasons already given, but I just don't "get" LARP. Don't "get" pro sports either. Don't have anything against those who do enjoy them.
