Shadows In The Woods: A Candlelit board game for kids.

I want a copy. I would play the heck out of this with the roving anklebiters.

I am sheep.

Remember how I said Reaper Minis was doing Kickstarter right? With 5 days left, they've got 5500 backers and more than a million dollars. Yes, that means the average pledge is about two hundred. For bonus points, 4789 of those 5510 backers are at the $100 level.

For that $100, you get about 150 183 and counting miniatures. And then you unlock the ability to get more (and carrying cases, and paints, and, and, and...) for a small additional fee. And each milestone adds more freebies and a new option for a small additional pledge. And all pledge levels and milestones and all the rest are modular.

This is Kickstarter *CRACK*, with every new milestone gives you something new and cool just for being there, and also the option of something ELSE new and cool for just a leeeeeeetle more.

Seriously, this is very well done. It manipulates the Kickstarter model perfectly and also appears to be a damn good deal if you like painting teeny little things.

Popcap games announces production of a money-printing press, intention to print money.

Quoth James Nicoll:

"I have never before seen a land speed record made while back-peddling"

(This is about Weird Tales deciding NOT to publish excerpts of the monumentally racist "Save The White People" book. It's sad they've decided to memory-hole the original announcement, and comments, and the ringing endorsement they received from Stormfront, though.)

EDIT: Oh hai, screenshots of at least the comment thread.

Where did the walls go? They were my friends.

Everyone knows the great poet Vladimir Mayakovsky committed suicide - but how many know that his last words were "Comrades, do not shoot!"?
