Tags: Solasta: Crown of the Magister; Tactical Adventures

The final weekend of the Solasta: Crown of the Magister Kickstarter campaign is over. The party banter stretch goal has just been unlocked and Cohh Carnage is coming up next. As expected, the fourth stretch goal at €205k is the Ranger class. Once again, the Kickstarter update also reveals a glimpse of the next stretch goal, which is very clearly the Academic character background at €210k.

Let's start this final week with some good news. As of a few moments ago, Stretch Goal #2 - Party Banter - has now been reached!

Part of the fun of Tabletop RPGs is the "friendly" and "wholesome" remarks from your companions when you roll the dice - even more so when you fail repeatedly. It just wouldn't have the same charm without these jabs and sarcastic comments now, would it?

Well, worry not - you will now be able to experience this in Solasta: Crown of the Magister as well! The kind Cleric that encourages you to do better next time, the wholesome Paladin who tells you not to give up... Or the Rogue who simply laughs at you and tell you how much you suck. It's always the Rogue. Why is it always the Rogue.

Stretch Goal #4 - New Class: Ranger

The polls were so close that we just couldn't leave the Ranger behind! If you haven't already, we've posted an Update with the Lore and Archetypes of the Ranger that you should read. They may not have animal companions in Solasta, but they are no less deadly! The archetypes are:
  • Hunter (SRD) - Master of both Melee & Range combat, the Hunter is the supreme predator of the lands.
  • Marksman (Solasta) - Heir to ancient archery techniques, the Marksman is the deadliest ranged combatant of Solasta.
  • Shadow Tamer (Solasta) - Wanderer of the desolated Badlands, the Shadow Tamer walks where others fear to tread.
At current rates of funding, the Academic background is within reach. Cohh Carnage will probably be unlocked by the end of tomorrow.

Who gives a FOOK... its just one background... Seriously this is one of the most pathetic campaigns ever. What's the next stretch goal, a feat? A portrait? :lol:

Stretch goals are cancer.

I feel like meaningless stretch goals are 100x better than what happened with Pillars of Eternity, where first time around the stretch goal was frankly too ridiculous and they ended up fucking it up, and the second time around we MISSED THE BEST COMPANION because we were short 1 stretch goal

This depravity must have some sort of denouement, if not a climax. He isn't even erect, for Christ's sake! What thoughts could be going through your mind as you pursue this fruitless endeavor?

Any sane person would get bored almost immediately. Is the repetition meditative? Maybe it reminds you of something you can't quite think of, and you're hoping to jog your memory. But… the family.

The family deserves an apology.

They don't need more money, particularly the tiny amounts they're asking for for each meager stretch goal. This is just to keep attention on the project. Even so, it's a shame to see such easily implementable and run of the mill additions instead of something actually ambitious that they couldn't achieve otherwise. Anyway, I lapsed back into my kickstarter addiction I thought I'd kicked years ago.

Solasta is starting to feel like one of those beauty pageant kids. Probably nice enough, might turn out ok if we let it develop normally. But someone on the codex is the overbearing obsessed mother, promoting at every chance, never shutting up, ramming it in your face until you feel sick and start to hate the kid.
