Hi de Hi folks !

> 1. Age of Kickstarter – Have there been any Kickstarters that you were really happy that got off the ground?

Dropfleet commander … so I am kind of sad that it didn’t gain the momentum it deserved post launch due to issues that the success of the kickstarter caused. I hope TTCombat manage to relaunch the system along with Dropzone commander.

Conan RPG … technically not delivered (yet) as the physical rewards haven’t been completed, but the digital editions  have arrived and the art is stunning. I probably should not have picked one wave shipping …

Blood&Plunder … Who doesn’t love pirates ? Arrrh! Waiting for Oak&Iron is agony.

Currently looking forward to Joan of Arc …

> 2. Music music everywhere –

The likes of Spotify and YouTube definitely have helped in making music easier to locate.
I do miss the classic record shops with their endless racks of cd’s, because there is something immensely satisfying about stumbling upon stuff in the physical world.

> 3. Peak entertainment

I’d argue that we are past peak now or rather that it is cyclical at best.
There are far too many (scripted) reality tv shows and related crap that isn’t even worth mentioning at the moment. Shows like ‘Orange County Choppers’ were interesting, but the drama and crap that happened outside of the builds ruined the concept (for me). And as with any success … everyone copied the format. Every once in a while there is a show that is midly interesting (‘Gas monkey garage’, ‘Wheeler dealers’, ‘the profit’), but even those get boring as the same spiel is repeated over and over.

Another problem is that good content gets locked behind paywalls, so as interesting as ‘Game of thrones’ or ‘Breaking bad’ could have been I never saw them because of this. As a result the alternative sources *arrh* (;-)) very tempting. If it weren’t for the lack of time to watch all of the stuff I’d be all over these things.

Pledge ?
I hope to assemble my troggoths and associated minions.
And then there’s a boardgame convention called ‘Zuiderspel’ to visit. So maybe a few things to buy and play.
