I'm rather surprised that no one posted anything about the Cortex Prime Kickstarter. There's only 17 hours left, and it looks like all the stretch goals have been met. Full disclosure, I'm a contributor to the project. I'm down in Prime Spotlight Five.

Seriously torn about this one. On one hand, I'm still in my "no more KS until I've played some" moratorium, on the other, I'm a big fan of the Cortex Plus Firefly and Leverage. On the THIRD hand, the two groups I ran Cortex+ Firefly with didn't like the system.

Honestly, that sounds like two decent reasons to not back the KS fredrix. The money thing especially, as you could find another group to play with. I'm sure the book and PDF will be available later on for people who are unable to back the project.

I'm sure the book and PDF will be available later on for people who are unable to back the project. Turned out they weren't good enough reasons. Kicked in for the PDF. I've long harboured intentions to smash Gumshoe and Cortex+ together to make a Rivers of London RPG. Might as well have the latest version to work with. And it's only $10!

Congrats, HyveMind! Spellcaught is you, right? Yep. I'd convinced myself my stretch goal wouldn't fund and now I'm all like "Uh oh. Now I actually gotta write this thing." But it is very exciting. Cortex Plus is one of my goto systems too, @whodo. I really like how modular and customizable it is, as well as how it can give non-tangible elements like character beliefs, values, and relationships mechanical weight.

Thanks Probie Tim. I make a lot of game stuff for myself, and most of it never goes anywhere. The (very small) rational part of my brain says "You wouldn't have been picked if you weren't able to do this." but a much larger part of my brain is all "WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE, YOU BOZO!"

Hey, I "knew" Cam when he was a bozo hanging out on forums just like us. This may be the beginning of a glittering new career for you 😉
