Have to admit to being a little intrigued by this despite having almost zero knowledge of or interest in football. Maybe it's because I've dabbled in sports board games at various points or have some memories of Techmo Bowl for the NES.

Yeah, I have no real interest in football and enjoyed it immensely.

I read your review, and it was quite compelling.

I'm backing this small card and dice game about mechs battling aliens

Full disclosure: Mr. B Games is publishing my game Madness At Midnight (due February next year), and honestly I don't know much about Alien Uprising: Zothren Invasion. But I like dice, I like games about killing stuff, and I think it looks like a pretty affordable package.

I'd like to back this, but with Blood Bowl coming up, I dunno. It looks amazing though. This should also be a cross-post with the "games as art" thread from a while back because this game is purely punk dungeon adventure game. Kickstarter launches tomorrow.

I think I just had a seizure.

I'm in for the Jabber Wok, but the Sex Dwarf? I don't know...

Is it printed on black velvet and come with a blacklight?

That would be an amazing perk.

Here's a preview of how the game plays

Having to choose different fighting stances, monster behavior and synergy between items sounds cool.

LOVE IT!

If you placed Dungeon Degenerates next to Cave Evil, then it would create a Yin Yang Vortex into another Dimension.

I think I have to pledge for that game based on the art alone.

Not buying that game, but I do love the look of it.

Same and same.

It has begun. And it you can get it for only $45 that's a steal in Kickstarter prices. www.kickstarter.com/projects/seanaaberg/...d-gam?token=0d1e4874

This is probably the best description of a game's aesthetic ever:
BOLD, LOW-BROW, RETRO ROLE-PLAYING WEIRDO ART! The DUNGEON DEGENERATES aesthetic is culled from an enormous heap of yellowing paper, old Dragon & White Dwarf magazines, Underground Comix artists like Robert Crumb & S. Clay Wilson, blacklight posters, Conan the Barbarian comics, pinball art, Punk & Metal zines & Heavy Metal records, pickled in cider & smoked. Sean Äaberg has been devoted to pushing older Weirdo Art forms back into the public consciousness for a decade, teaching art & publishing PORK Magazine. DUNGEON DEGENERATES is lavishly illustrated with thousands of drawings by Sean Äaberg.

I actually put in for that. I can get with giving that dude $45 for it.
