I wanted to mention that Vorpal Board has only 8 days left on Kickstarter, and is only a little more than halfway to its goal. If you've never used Kickstarter to fund something, it works like this: you pledge a certain amount of money for whatever rewards are being offered, and Kickstarter takes your credit card number. However, they don't charge your card unless the campaign reaches its goal by the final date. May 26 is the final date for Vorpal Board, and they really could use your help getting to their goal.
I'm mentioning all this because whenever I've been at conventions selling Solar Echoes, the most common response I get is that people can't physically get together with their friends to play tabletop games anymore—people live too far away, nobody wants to deal with traffic, it's hard to coordinate all this, etc. Vorpal Board solves that, because gaming from your home is far easier for everyone. The experience of playing a boardgame or RPG using the #VorpalBoard system is almost as authentic as sitting in the same room, the only difference being that one person has the boardgame and Vorpal Board system, while everyone else joins in through the app (for free!) The owner of the system only pays $5/month to use the app. Everyone joining the game plays for free. Please consider supporting Vorpal Board. I'm not getting anything out of mentioning this—I have nothing invested in the system, but I have put in my pledge on Kickstarter. I just really believe in this product and it's something I've wanted for a long time. I have friends I want to game with that live in other parts of the country (and a few international friends, too), so Vorpal Board is the perfect solution. I really hope this system gets the necessary funding to hit the market!
Remember, there are only 8 days left!
