Four Horsemen Studios Mythic Legions

Maybe they need a PR firm? Oddly enough, I just received this email at 4:30 p.m. on my work account: Press Release: Beyond the Woods for Legend in the Mist RPG Surpasses €150,000 on Kickstarter

Just saw my first "sponsored post" about the Kickstarter on FB. I swear I've never seen them do sponsored posts before but that might just be me not noticing previously. What I did notice was it's for "the roleplaying game" but it's just the action figures in the photo, and if you know Mythic Legions at all the photo really isn't that impressive because it's 8 figures masquerading in the ad as 14.

Statistically, shockingly, FB ads are actually the most effective dollar per click marketplace for advertising gaming kickstarters so a sponsored post makes sense, but again, it just kind of hits on that whole "not doing their research" thing this campaign seems to labor in.

That's both surprising and not to me, because FB is still a meaningful platform for local gaming stores due to an event page framework that other major social media just doesn't really have (like, you can schedule stuff on Instagram, but it's for things like auction or performance streams; FB is elderly enough that it still assumes people leave the house). So if you're like me and your FB is basically just an event planner for you now, and you're marking Attending/Interested on Magic prereleases or a weekly D&D night or whatever, you're going to get lots of sponsored gaming ads. And if you're already regularly gaming, you're more likely to spend money on something new.

I noticed last night that 4H had posted on IG that the Rising Sons retailer street date was this Wednesday.


For now, I'm refreshing the BBTS Rising Sons product page every once in a while, hoping folks drop their preorders as they receive in stock soon notices ...

Same boat. I did pre-order the dwarves because, hell yeah, but I slept on Neve and the others. And once that dorklair review series dropped everything around me dried up. I considered second dwarves.

I can still get the shadow elf, but idk if I like her.
