Six Ages was announced to be in development by the same team that made King of Dragon Pass a couple years ago, coinciding around with That Which Sleeps. It was also kickstarted, but against all odds, the development team turns out to be professionals who honor agreements.

This thread is also maybe a King of Dragon Pass thread, if you dorks still play it.

I love King of the Dragon Pass. Why haven't I heard of this? Maybe I was asleep.

Somehow I missed the kickstarter for this one too. PTW.

[Sirus]

Gonna go ahead and PTW here as well, since the old thread died.

This forum is basically where I see all kickstarter prospects.  If it doesn't show up here, I'm not likely to know about it. 

Good to see this is finally rolling along at least.

All game in existence have a thread on B12. If they don't, then they don't exist. Simple as that.

It's like 'Son, I have 100 weaponthanes led by a legendary warrior who was found as a baby in a shield, don't be telling me I can't slaughter a few trolls'.

Wasn't the Crag Spider god/demigod-tier strong though?

Good old Glorantha.  Stafford really was an icon of game design, from a bygone age...

Eurmal is pleased.

WOW!

Even though I couldn't really play the game for extended time periods... Even I recognized a certain greatness to the game that shone through many a time.

Especially with its blend of both myth as real and myth as fiction (it IS possible there are either no supernatural parts to the game, it is just stories being told to you... OR that both supernatural and superstition exist at once).

In fact it is one of the rare times fiction acknowledges that supernatural and superstition are not mutually exclusive, in fact it can intensify superstition. Usually when fiction brings it up it is always "racism" or something along those lines.

My favorite event that highlights it is when your Tribe gets a lot of alcohol in a shipment, get plastered, and start causing trouble. You actually accuse the people who went it of giving you alcohol possessed by spirits or dark magic. Best part is that the game never EVER actually tells you if that is a thing.

Which is the best part honestly the game never outright tells you "This is true" and "this isn't true" with almost any of its events. Was sacrificing all those cows doing something? Is not achieving grain variety actually angering the gods OR is it that your leaving yourself open to famine?

Yeah, KoDP really understood how the intersection of flavor and mechanics is supposed to work. The two played off each other, with each other. I agree I liked not knowing if what I did had any practical impact. It reminded me of playing games at a younger and less informed age, where the mind would cook up all sorts of fantastical relationships occurring in a game but that probably never existed. KoDP kind of makes you believe in that again, that a game is truly more mechanically complex than you can understand without viewing the source code or crunching a shit load of numbers.
