Geist Kickstarter Discussion Thread

[Second Chances]

It is time for a second chance! The Geist: the Sin-Eater Kickstarter is coming on Monday July 2 at noon EDT. Talk about it here.

Beware the ghosts bearing masks.

I’m already planning to take my break at work around the time the Kickstarter starts so I can be one of the first to donate to it. I know that doesn’t change anything. But this is Geist.

Second!

(Seems like a good place to resurrect the 'First' meme, but second, right ?...)

I've had a "haunted house meets Dredd/The Raid " chronicle in the back of my head for years waiting for this.

...you just one today's award for "most awesome chronicle idea".

I have my obols for the ferryman ready

I remember back when I discovered the WoD and Geist was my favorite. I hope this 2nd Edition will make it a contender again

I'll have to see what changes they make before I back, but I'm looking forward to it.

The kickstarter I've been waiting years to see, I've got my money set aside and ready for this!

[MrOwl]

The first time I think I’ve ever looked forward to a Monday.

Time to raid the River Styx and fund with Pluto's own treasure room!

As we journey into darkness
Where Gods fear to tread
The time has come to be renewed
And now before the night is through
We'll wake the dead!

So while we wait, something I've been meaning to ask:

What happened to Geist 1e that prevented it from getting a full gameline?

From the fragments I gathered, wasn't it less to do with lack of interest in the gameline and more BTS drama and legal issues?

I think that was pretty much it. I recall from my own fragments that Geist's release just bad timing, but I don't recall the specific reason.

Honestly, ever since it became clear that every line was going to get a second edition, I haven't thought about it. Time to move on from the past (at least for me).

As I recall, it was originally intended as an experiment to see if they could create a game line that was fully contained in the core book and a single supplement. I remember having a really hard time tracking it down in stores, too, so it might have been at a time when the company was really struggling. That was a long time ago, though, so it might have also been bad luck on my part.

I will be very happy when tomorrow arrives.
