Episode 284: Joining Kickstarter

The TD Gaming Podcast has started its Kickstarter fundraising, and really, even if every listener donated a few dollars, the project will get funded.

This episode is a bit short thanks to Dan having to skip this week and Jordan and Paul’s busy schedules. Don’t worry, this is only a one time thing, and a full length podcast will be recorded next week.

In any case, this week’s news includes:

  • Avellone: Kickstarter still in its infancy
  • PAX Australia tix now on sale
  • CD Projekt RED’s new licensed sci-fi RPG officially titled Cyberpunk 2077

This week’s Question of the Week, “What is your favorite convention to attend?”

  1. @Avellone: Kickstarter still in its infancy
    Not sure if backers will become more wary when a high profile project doesn’t make it. When somebody wants something really bad, they’re willing to ignore any kind of risks.
    Now I’m not going to quote Michio Kaku however, since that would imply that most projects are trying to just rip people off, and I don’t think that’s true.

    @CD Projekt RED’s new licensed sci-fi RPG officially titled Cyberpunk 2077
    … really? No better title than that?
    But again, the Witcher games were well received, so who knows …

    @Zombie Nation – well, it was a severed flying giant head, so I guess you can count the character as a zombie.

    @QOTW: dunno, really. I’m not into conferences that much, never been to one, so meh …

  2. I’m very sorry, but I won’t be able to donate to your Kickstarter because I don’t have a credit card, and I don’t think my parents will accept “giving strangers money” as a valid reason for using theirs.

    @QOTW: Being in such a small country, I could never attend such conventions.

  3. I dont have much to contribute this week, i’ve been studying a f*cking lot

    @QOTW:
    yeah… Brasil doesn’t have many gaming conventions, and those we have are in Sao Paulo, wich is far far away from my house. it looks fun see people getting toys, shirts and exclusive stuff for free. i’d like to go to a big one in US some year… when i win the lottery :3
