Messier-31

After leaving Dunnage for the 3rd time, Fulvano set sail to the Skull Island one more time to triple check if he didn't miss anything the last time he was there. Fortune smiled to Fulvano as it turned out that there was in fact an endemic creature living on said Island that he didn't observe before. Thus seagulia fulvani was discovered! Ofc that creature was a bird, it wasn't endemic, and it just chillaxed on the Island before continuing its flight to somewhere else. Next destination at 29,500 backers!

Or maybe Kaga, like the pissed off tribesman from Fallout 2 restoration.

​This is the Morning Breakfast Eating Front. $3.0 mil stretch goal is achieved. $3.25 mil is the next stop, with sidekicks (Bonteru?). $3.5 mil stretch goal, we're watching you. *** Join the Morning Breakfast Eating Front. Spread the butter on that bread.

Wait, so you think that Fulvano will get back to the first island once again? What he said.

Yes, and if I remeber correctly Kana has like 6 siblings! That's a lot of sequels.

Portrait leaked!

You do know there's a symbol for sarcasm on our keyboards don't you? You do know there's a symbol for sarcasm on our keyboards don't you? Its the reverse question mark. You do know there's a button to edit your posts so you don't have to type multiple posts one after another? It's the EDIT button

lol, what kind of method would you like exactly? Neverwinter Nights 1 done it nicely.

This is the Dwarven Companion (Sidekick) Recovery Front. Here's an interesting dwarf rogue from the web: Wonder how far from Obsidians concept this fella is. Stay tuned for more updates.

Weak. What was there to explore before we got this dungeon anyway?

I did not say "I don't believe you". Don't put words in my mouth... err keyboard. Nevertheless Leeuwenhart, your callous disregard to my question makes me chuckle so. Cheers.

I would also love to see some better way of picking a portrait. Clicking through each one of them is a chore.

Agreed. Sounds like a LEGO DUPLO ship.

I really have no idea what are you talking about. Care to elaborate? EDIT: With sources, ofc.

IF we reach 3.25 that is.

And why they set the sidekick stretch goal at 3.25 instead of 3.2 as suspected? So it would be more difficult to reach?

This, and I want to hire Bonteru, goddamit.

I don't suppose you do requests?

The question still remains: how am I supposed to have a custom watercolour portrait if I have a custom standard portrait?

Well, I got my answer from the comment section on Fig:

Expansion, maybe?

Wow, thank you. Please, tell me that them at least will have some banter?

This is the Dwarven Companion Recovery Front. In todays update we would like to reminisce about some famous dwarven companions of yore. Let’s start with something everybody knows: KORGAN (Baldur’s Gate II: Shadows of Amn) The meanest of the mean, this berserker was probably the most fun I had in all the cRPGs combined. That mate is crazy. I mean he’s nasty, he’s lewd, he’s gottta crush on a halfling girl, he’s got everything you’re looking for in your search of Imoen and hunt for Irenicus. His quest was quite short, but interesting still. And great voice acting, btw. YESLICK (Baldur’s Gate) This oasis of peace has a nice priestly touch to the dwarven lore. He’s not zealous but sure knows how to inspire people around him. If you be needing a sturdy hammer and some buffs you know who you gonna call. No, not Ghost Busters. Yes, the Undead Turners. Also, am I the only one that thinks he is a bit of a father figure to everybody? KAGAIN (Baldur’s Gate) This dude’s been probably the alpha version of Korgan, but with something more of a drinking problem. Thanks to his English voice actor I have a feeling he’s more like a grumpy old man, than a dwarven gold‘n’ale-lusting evildoer. Yet, his grudge with Yeslick is something many of us remember. ARKANIS (Baldur's Gate) Now this one's here for the lolz. Great portrait, tho KHELGAR (Neverwinter Nights 2) The best memory I have with Khelgar is meeting him right in front of an inn, fighting off some losers. And the following banter while drinking some ale. Though hilarious, he’s a capable fighting friend. So sorry he had this crazy idea to become a monk and fight with bare hands. Damn monks, destroying the fantasy settings like, well, um, monks. GRIMGNAW (Neverwinter Nights) Speaking of which, this one is the least intersting henchman from my list. A monk, so I got nothing. Although, they say that the Front for Recovery of a Dwarven Companion like him. They are weird, that lot. MURADIN (Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos) Okay, this is not cRPG per se, but you could play with him and there was „some” character development. Well the skills at least. Truly, the RPS genre – as they called it at the time – was just an RTS. But a typical fighter with a typical Scottish accent, your favourite mountain king. What’s not to like? Damn you, Arthas. OGHREN (Dragon Age: Origins) A more positive version of Kagain if you ask me. Still, he is loads of fun, has a lot of memorable moments and his story is quite interesting. You can have him in your company during the events of the Dragon Age: Awekening, so BAM, a dwarven grey warden. How cool is that? Verbose badassery, wouldn’t want to meet him in a yo-mama fight. SIGRUN (Dragon Age: Awekening) A first dwarven gal, I reckon. Bioware did it. Maybe she was in some ways a character that Obsidian enjoyed in a game and then they made Sagani. I mean look at her, don’t you see a visual resemblance? A rogue was a fitting class for a dwarf. How many warriors, fighters, barbarians you can get? Which reminds me of all these classes still waiting to be given to a dwarven companion. VARRIC (Dragon Age II) I admit, I mostly ignored this game, but the fanbase for this guy is so huge, that it would be a shame to skip him on our list. I like the fact he has a favourite named weapon and that it involves a girl and a promise, and that it is the one story that he can never tell. He has put the story to song, but will not sing it, instead humming the tune during battle. This character speaks to me, while the rest of DA2 does not. ZOLTAN (The Witcher series) Yeah, you do not get to have a party and take control over Zoltan's development, but he is a great character no matter what. And he was even greater character back in the day, some 20 years ago when I was reading the Witcher novels, when CD Projekt were humbly trying to localize Baldur's Gate into Polish. A true friend, that's what he is. SAGANI (Pillars of Eternity) And here we are, back to Pillars. She looks familiar to Sigrun, but she’s a boreal dwarf ranger with a fox following her everywhere. The remaking of a dwarven companion went quite well, but somewhere I get a feeling that she was made different by brute force just for the sake of being different. Still like her, tho. Even if only for the possibility to tell her that her quest is pointless (imo). *** That’s our list! Now imagine you playing the aforementioned games as you never encounter these fine companions! (Disclaimer: you mileage may vary) Do you feel the void? This has been an update from the Dwarven Companion Recovery Front. Join the cause, because reasons. Stay tuned for more updates.

If the current pace sticks the $3 million goal will not be achieved.

Yep, we already have the "Black Isle Bastards" and the "Black Isle". A name without "black" would be a nice change. I also tried to give it some of the Queen Anne's Revenge vibe.
