THE FANTASY TRIP - *KickStarter Campaign* Schedule

[Steve Jackson]

Current plan has no minis in the original release - I am somewhat disappointed but agree it's the right decision. That darn reality, always poking in!

Counter thickness for all counters will be about twice what the original game was. All dropped weapon counters will be the same 3/4" x 3/8" size.

I applaud this, too. I actually prefer playing with easily recognizable counters rather than the expense and hassle of minis, the painting, etc. plus having to have a good collection that makes available what you need when you need it. And flat counters let you use your imagination instead of dictating in 3D, like the difference between a radio drama and a 3D movie.

It means a GM can travel to play with a small briefcase, not a caravan loaded with lead figures.

And the itsy bitsy dropped knife counter was just too cool for words! :) It's one of the things that gave TFT its unique look and feel, along with double-headed bell-bottom wearing giants and realistic looking every day wolves and bears.

And that, boys and girls, ends THAT discussion topic! I'd still bet that when the whole TFT shebang comes out though, there will be minis in there somewhere... ;-)

I was also interested to read that SJG will be running The Fantasy Trip at Origins this year -- so clearly they expect to have prototypes of at least Melee and Wizard available for use by then! (Which tells us that production is proceeding quite rapidly, really...)

Same here. Feel like I did the day I saw that awesome blue covered box, "Melee", on the wire rack at the Griffon Bookstore in South Bend, Indiana, all those years ago.
Couldn't wait to get it home and open it!

It's kind of like my birthday when I was a kid! The anticipation is killing me! ;-)

This morning

Me - "I supported it! I did it! Now I'll get all my favorite games again, Wow!"

My Wife - "David, David, wake up, your legs are kicking the sheet off. Go feed the dogs. It's only seven am."
