(KICKSTARTER) "Ghosts of Hefei" is up 09APR Update: 15mm Fabricant posted

Blast from the past, I received my miniatures for this last week. Ok sculpts for 15mm, not the best. Not even sure what I was planning on using them for.

Cool. Still waiting for my book and miniatures. Not the best Kickstarter...it's all soooooo slow. But I'm not craving for them, so okay.

No sign of any (28mm scale in my case) miniatures from this one here either. I didn't want the printed rulebook or the T-shirt or whatever else took the longest time coming...  As I recall, the minis have been supposedly on hand for something like half a year so my pledge could've been shipped many times over, even given that "everybody wanted a different mix of figures" is quite likely all too true. One wonders how many days it takes to pack one pledge...

I wanted only figures from Tom Mason's old line and the pdf of the rules. No sign of my stuff either. And since Mr. Mason shut his company down, I wonder if I'll ever get my stuff...

My order was only 15mm minis, no shirt or book either. I had pretty much given up myself, was pretty surprised when the package showed up.

I worry a bit about that myself tho I did pledge for some originals too (all of the hacker minis IIRC). Lack of those to send out would certainly explain why I haven't gotten anything as of yet but only time will tell if I'm just being paranoid...

Fulfillment! My miniatures have arrived at long last, ca. 6 months after the delivery of non-book pledges officially started. Most of mine were from Effigy stock and I do believe they are all there. The few originals from the project (all of the hackers plus a private dick special character) are quite nice too, qualitywise. A little on the small side for the present day where so-called-28mm minis tend to be 30mm or even more really, but that fits well with my existing scifi minis collection so they're all good in that regard.

Pictures!  Or it didn't happen.

Pix. It did happen.

The Havoc Protocol trooper is actually from a previously owned batch, included because I haven't seen too many comparison pix of those.

The scaling of the GoH minis appears to be "true 28mm" as promised.

Thanks for posting. Looks decent, if a tad short. You get rules too? If so, how are they?

[tnjrp]

I got rules (in PDF) but have only read them. They seemed a bit simple perhaps for a cyberpunkish gang fight game on paper. But maybe I was too immersed in trying to get my head around Infinity N3 (which may be a lot of things but not simple) at the time to appreciate them fully. Should give them a spin or three some day.

[Malebolgia]

The rules have some nice elements and a novel approach to a campaign IMO. For example, you can guard your territory with models. So if it's attacked you've got your defense ready. And they are small games.
I mainly bought it as inspiration for my own game, but if I had some Cyberpunk players here I would surely give it a shot!

[Dentatus]

Thanks Mal. IIRC, there was a hacking feature that looked interesting. Multiple nodes with areas of control?

All my C-punk is on hold as I'm jumping into a SoBH fantasy project for the foreseeable future. (Altho I'm aware my HINT Pledge should be coming soon)

[YPU]

Indeed they do, tough IIRC that is perhaps the most innovative part of the rules.
