Creator of Warhammer 40k to make new Sci Fi Universe!

Hi all,

Gates of Antares is being developed by Rick Priestley, the Brain behind most of Games Workshop.

Essentially this will have an online universe where peoples real life tabletop games go towards universal campaigns that can gain new weaponry and units!

Kind of like a tabletop MMO!

Take a look at the YouTube Video...it inspires me!

I have backed this with a pledge, it seems way off it's target although I haven't followed any other projects on Kick Starter before.

It looks really interesting to me so I'm hoping they will reach their target.

Leon

If the donations continue, it will definitely reach its target on time

they grow exponentially!

The last two weeks will see it shoot up, as word spreads!

I have put down the £25 for the Rulebooks and Hansa, however by the end of Feb, I might bump it up to the £65.

Has anyone watched the interview?

Elvis

I watched the Q&A video's and read through the reddit AMA, quite interesting but the questions posed at reddit were too focused on 40k and Necromunda.

hmm, not seen the Q&A, you got a link?

Elvis

Here's a link to all video's to date (that I have found), I'm sure there is another Q&A somewhere though...

I think they are keeping all of this information short as they intend to release an update for each day of the Kick Starter.

Leon.

Another Q&A video here, and a list of what's to come over the last month of the Kickstarter.

Leon

bumped mine to £70. To everyone, even if you put down a pound, whether your interested, or you want to push GW into doing something similiar lets get it supported.

Its stalling at the £100,000

Cancelled, the funding had been going nowhere for a while.

shock! they need the idea properly fleshed out! look at the sucessful ones, they have the product, then develop as the kickstarter moves on!

Shame, although I know it isnt the last we will see of this.
