lightning bolts, and all that- is part of that too, and it does go off into biker and BSDM subcultures. Even up to Slayer you see this going on- remember those “Slaytanic Wehrmacht” shirts? Throbbing Gristle, Marilyn Manson, Pink Floyd, David Bowie...fascist imagery and rock n’ roll have long been strange bedfellows.
But now, in more enlightened times, those symbols should fall into disuse because fascism and racism are on the rise and we don’t need either the ambiguity or the shock value, and there isn’t any lowbrow “kitsch” justification for their use. There are actual Nazis working in the White House and concentration camps for non-whites on American soil. I’m glad he acknowledged the problem with that stuff.
So yeah, I saw that stuff and I got it, I knew what he was referencing and I wasn’t really shocked by it and I didn’t thing “oh no, he’s a Nazi”. But I have the context, and others may not.
It tickles me that there is an “Infamous Butcher” and “Angel of Death” character pack. If you don’t get it...well, that’s even a Nazi reference by way of Slayer.

Urgh. This one will go down to the wire on my part deciding.

It just went live. Here's the link https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/seanaaberg/dungeon-degenerates-hand-of-doom-second-printing?ref=discovery&term=dungeon%20degenerates
The discount isn't as good on the base game as the first KS. Only $10 oof so it's $70.

This isn't just a boardgame thing. I'm seeing it with products from Amazon Basics like cheapy headphones or special sized light bulbs. There's a "print run" of the product, and once the print run sells out the product is no longer available. The product remains on the web store listed as "Unavailable" and stays that way until there's another print run. I think that's the new production model -- spin up an assembly line, blow out 100,000 copies, refit the assembly line to produce something else, sell copies until they run out, consider if another run is worth the cost.
Highjack complete, don't encourage me.
I know nothing about this game and the garish artwork doesn't attract me very much. But I'll tell you what, the spokesperson in the how-to-play video could make a career of it. She's way better than the usual people you see from small-time publishers.

She has. That's Becca Scott from Geek & Sundry. She just did the Warhammer Age of Sigmar 2nd edition how to play series as well. Anyone can hire her services by contacting G&S (no idea on cost).

We hit 666 backers & so here we are talking about the next DUNGEON DEGENERATES Kickstarter, or rather, the next four Kickstarters. Here's the idea - we will do four Kickstarters, each covering a new DUNGEON DEGENERATES Expansion Box! The first of the four is the CITY SQUALOR Expansion. Here is Eric's breakdown of the expansion box.
This set explores the settlements of the Borderlands; from the sprawling metropolis of Brüttelburg to the lesser towns, tent-compounds & stilt-hut villages scattered across the remote wilderness. Adding 4 new playable characters from the seedy streets & a hefty new deck of Settlement Encounters to make every trip to town unique & engaging, this set also includes the all-new Plague mechanic pitting your party of degenerate desperadoes against two brand new missions; the Deadly Smell of Disease & the River of Filth. City Squalor will also include new monsters, new loot, new counters, new Doom cards, new skills, new Danger cards & other new things which I can't let out of the bag.
Everything will have new art by me! The MSRP is $40 per box & we will offer our usual Kickstarter discounts. The City Squalor KS will be followed by more expansion Kickstarters, each building up an Expansion Box which will be released around three months from each other, giving DUNGEON DEGENERATES an entire year of new releases coming rapidly one after another! So that's what's next!
