Phantom Division Info
The latest Phantom Division proto arrived, and it is looking great. Plastic parts can be doors when the cutout is d… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Wanted to link to Mark's tweet on this project with a new prototype, I like to support members so they don't feel they have to self promote. I know this has been a long, painful process of waiting to crowdfund. I think what you're showing here looks like a great solution, the open closed door system you have here makes sense.
Keep us updated.

Having cardboard walls that slide into plastic connectors lets us do lots of cool stuff like cut in a door where there wasn't one before, or let the player blow a hole in the wall. It also allows us to include some "set piece" walls that are decorative, for example I want to include an elaborate high back wall in the Night Club map. If this happens it will be used sparingly for some visual appeal and so it would not get in the way of playing too much.
The plan is that the box will hold several pre-built "rooms" so that map building is swift. I built the one in my tweet in under 2 minutes and that was my first time doing it.
The large green block is a "pillar". Pillars are indestructible and block LOS, so they make very good cover as well as obstacles.
Enemies will be wooden discs (enemies that move) and wooden squares (stationary enemies like sentries). Phantoms will be discs and hopefully eventually a minis pack will come out for them. Miniatures are out of reach for now because a lot of money will go to door and wall connector pieces.
The discs actually make great enemies because they go in an enemy bag and you just pull them out as needed.

I had to kick Pete out early this morning, because my cat went into cardiac arrest. At least I think he did. I frantically drove him to Toledo since it's the closest emergency vet service. I was not fast enough. He was a good cat.

(As a complete side note, I also didn't know you were as close as Toledo, if we're talking about the one in OH and not GA, IA, OR or a half-dozen other states.)

And thanks. It's not great here right now.

There is a ton of game here. I don't know the final prices yet but I know there will be an entry level choice and then things to add on. Some things you can do in this game:
1. crack safes with a new mini game
2. defuse two types of bombs, one of which can even be disarmed cooperatively
3. blow holes in walls to make a new path
4. insert your team via 3 different methods depending on the mission diagram
5. hack into security cameras
6. take on 14 different enemies
7. earn XP and customize your Phantom all sorts of ways
8. find new gear during missions
9. equip powerful augments that bend the rules
10. generate random missions with enough combinations that you will only see a fraction of them before your inevitable death

- Does the game support 0 to 6 players?
- Does the insert support sleeved cards?
Support those and it's all money.
(NOTE: I was going to say "does it have a solo mode?", but since you already have one, I'm sure, had to up the ante)

It plays great at zero players.

This distinguishes the game from art displays WITHOUT zero player modes, those are called shelf toads.

Will there be a F:AT Pledge or anything equally preposterous? I want Pete to write the game's theme song.
