I have enjoyed the compatibility builds with prior DF settings, and I think they look great. But in some ways they're a bit . . . earthbound for me. Sure, I can imagine that Bleakmyre or Dreadhollow are intergalactic locations (hey, I did it for Tatooine and (just barely) Endor). But I would LOVE to...

So -- someone please explain to me why I can be happy with just one gun. I'm finalizing my pledge in the last 24 hours, and I can't decide if I should rest content with just one of those big turret guns. I'm favoring an "internal" approach, because I prefer the classic DF design and I doub...

To Infinity and Beyond! Glad to see the 4th quarter hustle. Maybe DF can give us an encore stretch goal. Wondering about that myself. It's so hard to speculate, but it DOES feel like the original plan was only to go as far as the cockpit -- and that, maybe, the original plan was for the cockpit to ...

Kinda blown away by how much things have jumped forward in the closing days. I've seen enough crowdfunding campaigns to recognize that this is the norm, but it still comes as a welcome surprise after what's felt like a chilly reception. I anticipated that sci-fi wouldn't perform to the heights of th...

This is super helpful data. For me, it's a bit of a relief, as it indicates that this campaign isn't doing as poorly as I feared. We all knew this one was a reach -- the resin sci-fi sets did not sell well, and the team has been VERY reluctant to get back into this arena. It's surprising to me that ...

FWIW, I find that these kinds of discussions are almost always somewhat empty, because what underlies everything is just "I think they should make the stuff I personally like." ;) We don't have access to any relevant data. We don't know their costs. We don't know their profit margins. We d...

I think the other elephant in the room, something various DF folks have mentioned in the past, is that everyone on the DF team is a fan of this stuff. And while that often means nothing more than "woo-hoo, we're just like you!", in this case the more important gloss is that it means they'r...

Watching the stream build of the underground bunker (linked in campaign Update 9, for day 7) made me realize that there's a hidden use for Starforged that really appeals to me (and may not appeal to anyone else): present-day builds! Until now I've only been thinking of Starforged as a futurist line,...

I would love some version of the modular consoles we got in the resin Sci-fi line. They were a late edition, in one of the harder-to-track-down sets, and they were amazing. You could line the walls of almost any shaped room with them, to make classic 1960s and 70s "computer that fills a room&qu...

Another thing I was thinking of this morning is the difference between cost-per-piece and value-per-piece. Cost-per-piece is easy to measure, albeit an imperfect indicator of anything because not all pieces are the same. The real question is, of course, whether a piece is "worth" the cost....
