I’m a bit torn on this one. I love Colville’e running the game series and a lot of his perspectives on what makes a game fun and was going to back the project but in the Q&A sessions, they were really focused on spending the stretch money on their own VTT. I don’t really trust them to spend that money efficiently as it’s way outside of their exhibited skill set. Maybe they’ll be able to quarantine the VTT development/resources so that it doesn’t affect quality of the core product, but since they’re fully backed, I decided to hold off for now. I backed strongholds and followers as well as kingdoms and warfare and both suffered from "cool idea that was a little too convoluted to be worth it_

On the other hand, the Arcadia content that they contracted others to produce was fantastic. I’m excited to see what they come up with but won’t be backing at this point since it’ll just be throwing cash at their VTT

Home Depot rents out gas-less mig welders surprisingly cheap. You could spend a fun 3-4 hours noodling around trying simple welding of angle iron pieces!

Fireflies. I could sit on a porch watching fireflies every night of my life
