AEGIS 2 IS FULLY FUNDED!!!

My good friend Breeze and I have been booth neighbors at Pax Unplugged and Pax East so if you've seen us there, you likely saw this very rad anime combining robot game. Well, they just launched on KS and they've already blown past their first kickstarter! Make sure to check out this VERY rad game if you've a fan of Gundam/Gridman/Voltron meets Fire Emblem/Final Fantasy Tactics. Or ESPECIALLY if you're a fan of Super Robot Wars.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Now for the next steps!

Thank you for supporting Re;ACT!!! (@loxtix)

AND THATS A WRAP!

What an absolutely exhilarating finale to the campaign!!! THANK YA'LL SO MUCH for believing in and supporting this game, and an extra special thank you to Nicole Amato and Nicholas Yu for giving me a ton of mental and emotional support during the preparation of this campaign. Couldn't have done it without ya'll.

Some shoutouts!!

If you want more anime nonsense on cardboard, make sure to follow AEGIS Combining Robots! The reboot of this classic tactics game, AEGIS: Second Ignition, is coming to kickstarter NEXT MONTH!!! 

If you are a budding designer in southern USA, make sure to check out ProtoATL! This is the BEST prototyping board game convention around. You'll get to play your prototype as many times as you can ask for and pitch it to dozens of publishers attending (myself included!)

And finally make sure to follow our wonderful team on twitter!


What is a pledge manager? And when does it open?

Pledge managers are a category of websites that crowdfunding projects use to let their backers manage their pledge. You'll use it to provide your address, pay for shipping, and provide details like how you want to be credited in the rulebook!

You'll also be able to use it to update your address if you move or order additional add ons! The Pledge Manager should open in around 3 weeks.

Whats in the future for Re;ACT?

The Cosplayer*, Chef, Composer, Photographer, and many more will make their debut in our next kickstarter! Hopefully, this will be right after we have delivered Re;ACT to all backers.

The goal is currently to deliver in in November and have Re;ACT available for sale at Pax Unplugged, my personal favorite board gaming convention.

* Unfortunately, to prevent delays to production, we will not be including the Cosplayer as a standalone character expansion in the pledge manager.

Re;ACT's FIRST Tournament!

We will be holding the FIRST Re;ACT Tournament via Screentop.gg on our discord, March 11th, from 2pm - 6pm EST! (Signup for the tournament here!)

The tournament will be 4 rounds, with the top placing players winning a tournament exclusive prize playmat set (Design C from the KS exclusive playmats poll). All participants will also receive a tournament only exclusive alternate art" promo card.

Sign up for the tournament today!

Once again, I want to seriously thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for your excitement and support on this project. As far as first time indie IP launches go, we have absolutely crushed all expectations.

Please look forward to our coming updates which should be posted at least once a month! And if you want more anime non-sense board games designed and published by Brother Ming Games, you can find my past projects here!

ALL SOCIAL GOAL REWARDS UNLOCKED! LAST 24 HOURS LETS GO!!!
almost 2 years ago – Thu, Dec 29, 2022 at 08:14:22 AM

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS PROJECT SUCH A SUCCESS ALREADY!

It's the last 24 hours!!! Lets make it count!

All social goals have been unlocked!! That means all games will have increased tuckbox and token thickness, plus all boxes will get that special UV spot printing treatment!

PLUS all Deluxe and Collector's games will get 2 extra acrylic standee bases, a pack of Re;ACT art cards and tokens to use in your favorite TCGs, and a pack of additional ability cards for every base game character! (Not tournament legal, use them as a handicap or just for fun!)

180k Stretch Goal is in Sight!!!

We are right around the corner to our 180k stretch goal of no re-used art across different game elements!! No more shared art between a character's masterpiece and their cards, plus new art for each character's "Ascended" forms!! Share us on social media, send the project to your friends, and lets make this game as gorgeous as it can possibly be!!!

Final Countdown Stream!!

Join us tomorrow at 10am CST to count down the final minutes until the campaign ends!!! We'll be hanging out in the brother ming discord voice channel and broadcasting it to youtube as a live stream!

2022 Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series Winner Raymond Dai approved!

We asked Ray, the winner of YCS Niagra Falls this year, to play Re;ACT and he absolutely loved the game! If you're missing that TCG itch from your childhood years, we are excited to say that Re;ACT will DEFINITELY scratch that itch while being way easier (and WAY cheaper) to pick up!

FREE Character stretch goal unlocked!!!
almost 2 years ago – Tue, Dec 27, 2022 at 08:01:25 PM

The DJ has been unlocked!!!

wickedalucard designed the DJ over 4 years ago as my first ever OC, so she's got a very special place in my heart

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

It's so exciting to have reached what we thought was essentially a throwaway dream goal when we first launched, and we're not even in the final stretch yet! But now that we're here, it's time to reveal our FINAL REACH FOR THE MOON: THE 220K STRETCH GOAL!

And what a close vote it was for our 10th character, but in the end, the cosplayer pulled ahead just by only 3% over the photographer! We are already brainstorming how we'll be implementing the Cosplayer to have a "Kirby" like mechanic of being able to adapt to her opponent.

So this means if we hit 220k total, The Cosplayer will be created as a single character expansion and added to all deluxe and collector's editions for free!!! To help us get there, we're also making some great progress with our newly announced social goals!

These goals are already doing work, putting us on the front page of the tabletop simulator workshop!

Shout out to RexmexFG for making our TTS mod!

So keep on spreading the word, playing Re;ACT, reacting to Re;ACT, and sending Re;ACT to all of your friends, enemies, and everything in between!!!

Illustrated by the absolutely incredible loxtix!

So excited to share with you this absolutely GORGEOUS print that will be used to make the KS Exclusive Deluxe Edition box!

This piece will also be printed as a 12 x 18 poster and included in all Collector's Editions of Re;ACT! Not only that, it will also be physically SIGNED by the team! This print will be ROLLED, not folded, and included safely in the game box!

There were also quite a few upgrades that I had not considered but have been requested, but since I want to keep the 40k stretch goals set aside for the REALLY big upgrades, lets turn them into social goals!

200 Fans on BGG - Tuckbox thickness x 133%!

200 Likes on TTS Mod - Token thickness x 150%!

250 FB Followers - Game Box Spot UV Printing!

450 Insta Followers - 2 Free Replacement Standee Bases!

700 Twitter Followers - KSE Token Cards Pack*!

ALL SOCIAL GOALS HIT - KSE Augment Ability Cards**!

KSE Token Cards Pack: A pack of Field Centers, MTG tokens, and other useful cards for your favorite TCGs. Deluxe and Collector's tier only. 

KSE Augment Ability Cards: A pack of ability cards that will expand each character's available "Exhaust" actions. These will not be tournament legal, and can be given to less experienced players as a handicap. Deluxe and Collector's tier only.

We are SOOO close to unlock DJ, so lets spread the word far and wide and make sure every anime loving board gamer sees this project!!!
