The X-Men Starter is even available on Amazon Canada. Amazon Canada has all the Asmodee stuff, and they usually offer 3 months zero interest.

Canadian physical stores (there’s two or three that I normally use) that have online presences though have the better deals, with at least 15-25% off retail. And loads of stock.

The Amazon price is $132 C…[Read more]

@pagan8th both Shatterpoint and MCP have had serious availability issues over here too.

Heck, I probably would have bought the Xmen starter if I had found it anywhere.

Some sets are lacking in matching squads from the other side.
And some characters get…[Read more]

I bet there’s a lot of people that hit “I’m in” at the start of the campaign and then forget to do anything.

I think it’s because the switch from ‘campaign’ to ‘backerkit’ mode is invisible with GameFound campaigns. You already pick what you want during the campaign.

With Kickstarter there usually is a separate system where you finalise the…[Read more]

@grantinvanman that is at best an evolution of technical materials used.

It’s not like they’re changing how many players are on a field, where the goals are and how big the field is …

and more importantly : they don’t abandon the entire thing after a few years.

In general sports tend to be pretty stable in terms of what they are, what…[Read more]
