I love me some Kickstarter, here's an essay (sorry)
Board Games:
Japanese: The game (a card game to help with learning Japanese, I haven't really used it much)
Kingdom: The Angelic War (a solid 1v1 card game where you try to move your angels across the board to damage an opponent.)
Draco Magi & expansion - A great little card game with absolutely beautiful artwork, you play dragons onto an area then make them fight each other to try and conquer said area.
Chaosmos - So uh...this was one of the first Kickstarter games I backed and I've still yet to play it. It's real pretty and I love the concept of it, just haven't gotten it to the table yet.
Oddball Aeronauts - Basically a more tactical version of Top Trumps with really great steampunk art. I love this one a lot, it doesn't need a table either so it's good for keeping in your bag and playing when you're out and about.
Nightlight - A wave based defence card game with beautiful artwork where you play as a kid's toy defending them against nightmares. The game is pretty shit, but gosh is it pretty.
Bright Future - A survival game set in a Metro-esque underground post apocalyptic world. where you're travelling around trying to find a cure for a virus which is wiping out humanity while fighting off mutants. It's pretty great and writing this is reminding me that I should really play it again.
Retreat To Darkmoor - Great little cardgame that combines elements of some of my faves, mainly Guillotine and Smash Up. Basically you're a bunch of monsters trying to escape into a fort to hide from the heroes who are hunting you down. You do this by queuing your minions up outside the forts they're trying to get into and when a certain number reach it, everyone gets in. However, heroes will be drawn to big crowds of minions and start murdering anyone at the back of the queue. It's goofy and fun and I recommend it a lot.
Quests of Valeria - I got this because it was cheap but haven't actually played it.
Fugitive & Hardback & Paperback expansion - Tim Fowers is the best and can do no wrong. Buy all these games.
Steal this Game - A game made by a board game company after someone stole everything from their booth at a board game convention. They also did deals where you could buy this game bundled with a couple of the things they were intending to sell at that convention so I picked up a few of their other games.
Tao Long - Basically multiplayer Snake but with Dragons? It's really pretty...
SUPERHOT the card game - Surprisingly decent single played deck builder that uses the SUPERHOT theme pretty well.
Rising Sun - Just...so good. Beautiful miniatures, lots of negotiation and betrayal and handling battles with bidding money is just perfect.
Billionaire Banshee's Expansion - Not out yet, but gosh I love that base game a lot.
The Shipwreck Arcana - Another "it was cheap and pretty" purchase. Uses Tarot style cards and basically it's like a co-operative Mastermind. Players draw two numbers between 1-7 and then place one of them on a tarot card giving a clue as to what the remaining one is (ie: If the number is 1,2 or 3 play the other number on this card) It's fun, not great though.
Consentacle - A card game about the love between a human and a tentacle monster. Idunno, I heard it was really good. Not out yet.
Chronicles of Crime - Also not out yet, it's a VR game - board game hybrid where one played looks at a crime scene in VR and describes it to other players. Reminds me a lot of Mask of Anubis which had a super limited release outside of Japan.
Video Games:
Koe - An RPG with the intention of helping learn Japanese. Still isn't out yet, 3 years after the estimated date has passed. But it does an Alpha version on Steam that they are updating pretty frequently, they just massively underestimated how long it'd take.
Frog Fractions 2 - Worth every penny.
Drift Stage - Awesome looking faux-retro arcadey racing game. Still isn't out yet, they keep going silent for months then popping back up going "any day now we'll have an Early Access build on Steam" then going silent again. Game is rad though, I hope they pull it off in the end.
Other:
Pebble Time - I really like this watch, it's a real shame that Fitbit killed them.
I use Patreon a whole lot less so I just have:
Astonishing Legends - A podcast about urban myths and conspiracies and legends and supernatural stuffs. The hosts have a good balance of giving every theory a fair shake and calling out complete nonsense as complete nonsense. Also I got a cool mug from it.
Auralnauts - You've probably seen their Bane Outtakes/freestyle rap videos or their Starwars stuff. They're the best and their Patreon hasn't been super successful so I felt like I needed to throw money at them.
Sword and Laser - Book podcast with Veronica Belmont and Tom Merritt. I've been listening to it for ages so figured I should start giving them money for it.
