Set of toys from 1988 or so. Judge Doom (w/vulture), Smartass weasel (Smart Guy when merchandised), Roger Rabbit and Eddie Valiant (with handcuffs)
Arkeis board game. Player minis surround a sphinx, in a room behind a wall of doors.
The card game Morph, where the cards have removable art. I have replaced the art with other, including Sailor Moon, a Garbage Pail Kid, Rumi from KPDH, Buff Bagwell, and a young Steven Spielberg
Storybook Saga: a solo dice battle game that was really eager to misunderstand how public domain works. This was actually my first ever win (over about ten games.) Wendy did most of the work damaging the Queen of Hearts, but Popeye swung in for the final blow.
A red panda at the Cape May County Zoo.
Tomb Raider board game: the first boss fight, against a bear. The board is sixteen tiles with a jungle theme. A player board below that keeps track of Lara Croft’s abilities and stats. You roll dice against these abilities and better rolls let you do more stuff.
Beach towel from the defunct Cartoon Network Hotel. Steven is the original kid version, but the rest of the Gems are end-of-show versions.
The game Seaside, in the sand at the beach, as intended. The game consists of 70 wooden tokens with blue and white art of crabs and shells and such.
The light up Bluetooth accessory board for Dropmix, with various RFID cards in place. The score is 14 to 21.
Corny inspirational quote somehow on a wall with a stupid ornamental plant in front of it. “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened. - Dr Seuss”
Family Circus from July 1, 1989. Jeffy or whoever is pointing at a lady working a cash register. She has a pencil tucked into her hair. Caption: “Who shot the pencil at you?”
Opens twelve issues after the original series? Huh??? “Dark Knights of Steel II #1 (DC, $4.99) opens twelve issues after the original series concluded, with a kingdom of capes torn between the dynasties of El, Wayne, and Themyscira.”
Steve Martin and Dan Aykroyd in a fifty year old SNL bit, the wild and crazy Festrunk Brothers. Text is a quote from the skit: “NOW ARE THE FOXES”
Several Imaginext figures from DC Comics, including Mr Terrific, Hawkgirl, Lobo, Supergirl and Krypto. Lobo is holding a 3D printed gray hook weapon with an attached chain. This would have been both a choking hazard and too pointy for the actual Imaginext line since it’s intended for four year olds.
NAMCO LEGENDARY Mountains logo. Yes, they stylize it that way in text. Not in the logo, though.
3D printed card trays for Journeys in Middle Earth. There are color-coordinated dividers and little stickers using JRR Tolkien’s artwork.
The contents of Vast Crystal Caverns and Vast Fearsome Foes combined into one box. Color-coded 3D printed trays separate the eight player factions.
The custom Vast bags from BGGStore. Lovely screen-printed drawstring bags intended to organize the player faction pieces. They’re kind of a drag.
Ten color-coded removable trays to organize the bits for Vast Mysterious Manor and its expansion. First draft; I designed this one myself.
“Write More Good” shelved alongside “Chaotic Good,” “Comics Will Break Your Heart” and other assorted titles.
That famous black and white photo of the assassination of Lee Harvey Oswald, but instead it’s various Animal Crossing characters and Pete the pelican is trying to deliver a letter to some guy.
Bottom layer, original Nemesis box. The intruder corral is kind of a mess. From left to right, top to bottom: two trays for circular bag tokens (door minis are in two bins under them), one upside down door mini because they gave you eleven of them, open space for extra 3D printed engines and navigation console, gray bin for Aftermath components (and some intruder bases.) Black bins for room hexes and cards, gray bin for Aftermath cards and room hexes. Open space for intruder minis and bases and the Aftermath hourglass.
The board game Cape May, which is a stylized map of Cape May, New Jersey circa 1800-1900. Little plastic houses in the four colors of the layers.
Bizarro Comics 2001 (cover by Matt Groenig), Bizarro World 2005 (cover by Jaime Hernandez)
Man with terminal entitled crowdfunder brain says: "Mine apparently got returned. But the expected costs to reship outweigh my desire for the game. Even though it looks pretty cool. And I gotta say the digital files for a game with a special card dont really make sence to me. I don't plan to print it, i guess i'm just outta luck on this one. Probally have to rethink my next pledge so it doesnt happen again."
Header image from an iPhone photo memory thing. It’s Bill Trinen and Masahiro Sakurai at Nintendo’s E3 booth doing a Smash reveal.
Over twenty 3D models of trays and boxes and card holders. Still a few more to go, but these prints will let me get Nemesis, Aftermath, Void Seeders, Chytrids and Carnomorphs into just the two boxes for Nemesis and Aftermath. Including lots of extra terrain bits.
Have to remove the rotors from the helicopter (this whole guy is pretty fragile; I’m sure I’ll break it and have to print another.) Rotor flat over the mini lid. Copter tucked beside the plastic shell that covers Rex. The stand has to line up as shown, center-lined over the Disguised Meryl mini. When the next insert is dropped in place, these three parts kind of wiggle into negative space.
A gray 3D printed tray with wells for the game’s damage tokens, guard status, etc. Two beige 3D printed crates hold ammo and other inventory tokens.
Li’l Snake and Meryl facing off against Vulcan Raven’s tank. The game’s standard size Snake and Meryl are in the background.
The Metal Gear Solid board game fight against Metal Gear Rex. Rex is like six inches tall. Miniature figures of Gray Fox, Snake and Meryl are standing in front of it. More or less in scale, right?
Wonder Woman board game. The map of Themyscira is filled with minis I made to better represent the Amazons, Cheetah and enemies. The minis that came with the game are the gold ones.
Lara (gray miniature sculpted figure) and a Bear (gray miniature sculpted figure) face off on tiles that represent ruins in a jungle.
A pile of old kids card games from the 1970s. The Scooby-Doo cast is cheerfully posed on the cover of the game “War.”
Screenshot from Sony email telling me my PlayStation Stars Points are expiring. It's not even my correct number of points! I have 602 according to the app, which is not enough to buy anything.
Closeup of back cover of an old Ninja Turtles board game. Leonardo - drawn in an unusual mix of the original comics’ and animated series’ looks - says “Cowabunga!! All of our zany, wacky, madcap adventures captured in a board game.”
Sunderfolk screenshot. It's animal warriors in a fantasy hex grid landscape. Lots of treasure chests and giant spiders and whatnot.
June, a black striped tabby cat, sleeping in a papasan cushion, surrounded by a Crisis on Infinite Earths blanket, an Alex Ross Green Lantern pillow, a Pokémon Mini pillow, and Krusty the Clown.
Title card for Detective Conan episode 869, “Conan Disappears Over a Cliff (Part One)
Trick Shot board game. The board is a hockey arena about three feet long. Little players are scattered around the ice as I reset the board for an OT period. I have added 3D printed nets and an apparatus to hold the scoreboard.
Screenshot from PlayStation merchandise website showing an entry queue to buy the trophy-locked t-shirts and whatnot for Ghost of Yotei.
Solo card game A Dragon’s Gift from ButtonShy. A grid of roads connects to form a pastoral medieval village. The main thing is to connect craftspeople with their desired resources, eventually being able to craft a gift for the cute but problematic dragon.
Just about all of the Batman Gotham City Chronicles board game, condensed from multiple separate boxes to one giant plastic 60 quart tub. This contains a couple hundred minis, multiple game maps, cards, tokens, etc.
Screenshot from Pokémon TCG Pocket with a dozen promo boosters lined up and ready to open.
Like twenty cards in hand for the fairy tale princess co-op card game Charmed and Dangerous.
John Flansburgh playing guitar; John Linnell playing accordion.
Old kids book titled “The Flintstones: Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm and the Witch Who Ran Out of Jizzle.” Bamm-Bamm is gesturing towards the silhouette of a witch in the sky. Pebbles is looking directly at the witch, giving us the unusual view of the exact back of her head.
Preamble To whom it may concern, I hope you are well. The previous update for this campaign, dated April 19th of this year, received some critique for its excessive length and satirical tone which many perceived as unbecoming of the gravity of its subject matter - and irksome besides. Your complaints have been heard. To act as a counterbalance, this update, which contains only a straightforward report of positive progress toward delivery (accompanied by visuals) and an acknowledgement of my presence at a forthcoming convention, will be conveyed with as much seriousness as possible, omitting any whimsy, humor, faffing around, or other such unproductive indulgences. This update will not contain jokes, gags, japes, banter, quips, nor certainly any farcical illustrations or references to deities of the enhancement of tabletop leisure activities, real or imagined. By reading this missive you agree forthwith that any comments you leave on this update will be sober and direct to the best of your ability. Thank you for your cooperation and my apologies for any inconvenience. Section 1, Subsection A: Status of Files
Outdoor table made to look like a ramen cup, with Mira’s face on it.
Custom made white t shirt with THE WITCH STOOD UP graphic
Cats of Saint Mont Michel board game, a grid-based tactical kind of thing. Standees of heroes and enemies are on a spiral-bound map, with flat enemy tokens for cockroach enemies, which is about as clever as this game gets.
A crowdsource backer going all Karen Sephiroth: "I am providing the following points for clarification based on an analytical review of the current campaign. To ensure transparency for all backers, I expect direct, data-driven answers to these concerns:"
End of a game of Unbroken, a win against the basilisk. The player character - a brawler-class woman - has cards indicating she is Patient, Cautious, Armored, Paralyzed, has an Axe and can Impale.
Trash Dash. Tiles create a looping path through an alleyway. Player characters are raccoons, an alley cat and a seagull.
