Monte Cook Games Announces Upcoming THE STRANGE Boxed Set Kickstarter

Monte Cook Games has just announced that on February 20th, it will be launching a Kickstarter for a deluxe The Strange boxed set. They did one for Numenera a couple of years ago, raising over a quarter-million US dollars. In addition, they mentioned that the Predation rules are with playtesters, Invisible Sun is about half designed, Unmasked is in playtesting, and more. You can watch the full video announcement below.

Neat. I already invested in the Numenera Box Set - which was a steal of a deal - as well as the original Strange kickstarter, so I may sit this MCG Kickstarter out. (Especially after backing the Invisible Sun behemoth. My wallet could use a break.) I like the Strange, but there's too much reduplication of a lot of MCG materials for my liking at this point.

Giving this a miss for the same reasons as above. The note on invisible sun is...interesting considering some playtesters haven't even received the playtest materials yet.

The only thing I hope is that this stimulates the production of more material for The Strange. I thought the line had gone dead

Bruce mentioned some time ago on his twitter that more stuff was in the pipe line for The Strange. That said, you could easily change the cypher books into incursions.

I passed on the Invisible Sun because it was to cost prohibitive for possibly now having a enough a group to justify the cost. I'll probably back this one only because I dig the Strange and nice boxed sets that can be used as the gateway drug.

The first set of the playtest materials for Invisible Sun were sent out. Any person who should have received playtest materials by now, but hasn't, should contact MCG directly using this webform: http://www.montecookgames.com/contact-us/

Odds are, the person didn't reply to the NDA email, or that email (or the playtest materials email) got marked as spam.

Sean while this doesnt affect me in the slightest, you may want to check back with the G+ group as the guys there seem to be in the dark.

I'm investigating.
