Epsilon City
Any word as to when the Kickstart for this gets underway? I haven't seen any links or dates yet.

Re: Epsilon City
I know what you mean. Between METAMORPHOSIS ALPHA and DCC Lankhmar, I think that Goodman Games has the two most exciting new product lines out there at the moment.Sudo Dragon wrote:Yup, failed my will check against Goodman Games products. Thanks everyone who has worked on them.

Re: Epsilon City
Today the kickstarter passed its' third stretch goal!
In addition to the core Epsilon City book we have unlocked 2 new adventure modules and 16 more pages of sourcebook material. The 4th stretch goal is 16 more pages of sourcebook content!
Anybody who hasn't jumped aboard should do so. In addition to purchasing the core Epsilon City materials through the kickstarter every single Goodman Games Metamorphosis Alpha product released so far is able to be purchased as an add-on to increase your stretch goal pledge.
Its a great time to jump into MA for a good price if you haven't done so already.

Re: Epsilon City
I've said for decades that Metamorphosis Alpha is the best game that never got any support, and this is clearly true no longer. Funding for this just keeps going up and up and the "buy up" options for a Epsilon City supporter just keep growing. 
I can't wait to finally get a boxed set associated with MA. Heck, the whole level of support for MA that Goodman Games is creating here is simply astounding. If you've never gotten into MA, now is clearly a great time for it....

Re: Epsilon City
Yep, and the Kickstarter for Epsilon City is going to produce over 170 pages of MA setting materials and 3 more adventures.
If anyone reading this is on the fence about pledging or upping their pledge; there is less than 60 hours left in the Kickstarter and we are less than $4k away from hitting the next stretch goal which is 16 more pages of setting material for Epsilon City.
For $65 you can get Epsilon City boxed set and a softcover copy of the Collectors Editon rule book, all anyone would need to start running an MA campaign (and lots more than was available for many, many years for MA players)

Re: Epsilon City
Fully funded, and it peaked just over $50K! We get new metal arm bands!
Re: Epsilon City
I was very excited by the adventures hooks shared during updates of the Kickstater. Lots of creative ideas to build into longer adventures I can't wait to find out which are chosen to be expanded into the stretch goal adventures.
It feels like GG has ideas to fuel Metamorphosis Alpha for years to come. I hope consumer interest allows them to continue to support the game. Hopefully kickstarter allows them to mitigate the up front risk and costs for this niche product.

Re: Epsilon City
Recent e-mail states that samples of Epsilon City have reached the offices of Goodman Games and that the quality looks pretty good. We think that they should be shipping a little after GaryCon...
