Scrum Club member John S., who blogs over at the 1000 Foot General, is currently running a kickstarter for his skirmish miniatures game, Star Schlock. As the tagline in the graphic says, this game is inspired by the tropes and aesthetics of all of those sci-fi shows and movies we loved as kids - Trek, Planet of the Apes, Buck Rogers, SW, etc.
I've pledged for the "Recruit" level, which supplies the Star Schlock Battle Game set, including the rulebooks, dice, cards, organizing consoles, and tokens for playing the game, plus a starter set of 12 pewter minis (unpainted) - 6 each of Space Apes and Explorer Corps. Higher pledges levels include more minis. It's already blown way past its funding goal, with all sorts of bonuses for different pledge levels being unlocked.

It's running for about one more week; find it here:
I _just_ bought some of his models (Necronauts, the skeleton astronaut guys) like two weeks ago and painted them up for Lunar. Very pleased with them. Thanks for putting this on my radar - I'd seen "Kickstarter" on his store page, but that seemed to refer to the previous one.
ReplyDeleteTempted by this-- somewhat offput by the Dec 2024 delivery, but that's not _that_ far off...
Don't fear that December 2024 delivery date! We expect to deliver well before then, but with the chaos of things like unexpected pandemics a possibility, we wanted to stake out a delivery date we could still meet even if the Earth was hit by a meteor.
DeleteEarly 2024 for delivery is more likely.
