Time To Ogre-Indulge!
The Kickstarter for Ogrezine Mark II was a rousing success; thank you to everyone for supporting one of the most amazing deals in gaming available today. (Seriously. $3 for all of this?! What were we thinking?). You are the greatest fans!
We have been getting some requests as to when we are opening BackerKit. Our hope and expectation is to do so this coming Monday. In regards to developing a functioning BackerKit page, to quote Phil Reed, "Constructing and testing that is not an exact science." But things are looking good so keep your fingers crossed! We will have all sorts of Ogre goodies available in the BackerKit. Obviously the various playmats (M1, M2, and M3) will be available as add-ons, but we have a number of other Ogre items available at reduced prices as well. Some notable items include a variety of deals on the remaining stock of our metal miniatures. Additionally, we have put together a bundle of our Space Gamer PDFs that have Ogre and/or G.E.V. articles within them. Many of these articles are found within The Ogre Book, but these PDFs also allow you to step back in time and read about other games that were contemporaries of Ogre, "back in the day".
Speaking of Space Gamer bundles, I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that the complete SJG Space Gamer bundle may be acquired via The Fantasy Trip BackerKit, which is open now. Not only does it have all of the aforementioned Ogre articles, but it is packed full of everything else from those issues, including Car Wars, Illuminati, and of course, The Fantasy Trip. Space Gamer was one of my favorite magazines growing up and rereading these pages brings back wonderful memories. If you haven't read Space Gamer before, you've missed out; there is a lot of material that is still relevant today.
Finally, thank you to all that have submitted to Ogrezine. I only have a couple of remaining "slots" still available for this issue. We have some great fiction, scenarios, game aids, and art all headed your way. That said, if you have an idea for an article that you haven't submitted to me, get it to me ASAP as I am close to locking down the final few submissions. As always, our Writer's Guidelines are an excellent place to start.
Stay tuned for the Ogre BackerKit.
Ogre rolls on.
