The More You Know

Greetings Officers!

We're over halfway through and we're about to hit another stretch goal! Answer THIS 1-QUESTION SURVEY and tell us what you want to see next. 

And just in case you need to gather more evidence, this update has a bunch of places you can learn more about the Promoted expansion. 

5 Minute Rules Overview

If you only have a few spare minutes on your donut break and you’re still not sure how this expansion will work, Forrest Bower explains it all in under 5 minutes. Yep, he pretty much covers it.

4 Hairy Perspectives

And if you're unwinding after a long day on the beat and have a bit more time, the Hairy Game Lords posted a deeper dive yesterday -- but it's not an overview of the rules, it's more about the fresh reactions they had after playing it. You can really feel the joy they experienced getting back to playing games with real people after the quarantine. They also talk about some first-hand experiences using the new equipment and promotions so it's good stuff.

Transcript from WEREDINO Interview

Our favorite master of puns, WEREDINO, posted the transcript of the interview he did with us last weekend right here. We got a little silly there but it will help you learn more about the game and the people behind it. 

Stop the Train!

Finally, on Discord just before the WEREDINO interview, I talked to Brendan Mills, who also has a game that's live on Kickstarter called Stop the Train! It looks like you’re trying to complete your missions while thwarting the saboteur as you go and trying to stop the train before it’s too late. It sounds fascinating... and mysterious... and unique. That one has only a few days left if you want to check it out!

BLACK LIVES MATTER
almost 4 years ago – Tue, Jun 09, 2020 at 11:02:36 PM

Much of the world is currently struggling to address long-standing, systemic racism. Recent events surrounding overuse of police force have cast a spotlight on this issue in the United States and, because our game features "good cops" and "bad cops,” we wanted to bring some awareness to the movement in this campaign. Since we believe awareness is one important part in addressing these problems, we wanted to take a moment to emphatically say that PULL THE PIN GAMES stands with the #BlackLivesMatter movement.

Individually, we are taking this time to listen, to learn, and to talk amongst ourselves about racism. The #BlackLivesMatter movement has led us to have valuable, difficult conversations about it with those that are close to us, and has caused us to become more aware of this racism in the world around us. Going forward, we will continue to seek opportunities to learn from the many voices in this movement that are far more important to hear than our own.

PULL THE PIN GAMES

Live Interview this Weekend and Rules Proofing
almost 4 years ago – Thu, Jun 04, 2020 at 07:12:12 PM

Greetings Investigators,

In this update, we have news about a live interview this weekend, we're asking for any rules lawyers to inspect the rules, and we're talkin' stretch goals.

Interview on Discord June 6th at 8am PDT

You may have seen WEREDINO sharing his positivity, puns, and love for this game in the comments of the campaign, and there’s more where that came from! He also does text/chat interviews of social deduction game creators in the Social Deduction Network channel on Discord -- and he’s going to interview us on Saturday, June 6th at 8am US Pacific Time. You can join us all there to watch it live using this link: https://discord.gg/NHRMphv

We’ll also post the transcript in a future update.

Rules Proofread

We will be moving quickly into manufacturing once the game completes, so if you have time to look through the 2 pages of rules to see if you can find any typos or things that are unclear, we'd be grateful. 

Here are the base game rules if you need those too. We'll be doing a new print run of that along with this campaign so we could improve those rules if you have any suggested changes.

Stretch Goals

Although we're into the middle part of the campaign now (the "dead zone"), we're still making progress towards stretch goals every day. Right now, we're working on unlocking our 3rd card for the promotion pack that will be exclusive to backers for a limited time. We also achieved linen finish on all chipboard components and we'll have art on the Big Box insert! Plus, we still have 70% of our campaign left to go, so there will be plenty of time for more stretch goals over the next few weeks.

We hope to see you on Discord this weekend!

Day 1 Complete! Fully Funded!
almost 4 years ago – Thu, May 28, 2020 at 01:19:08 AM

Congratulations, Officer. You’re a Day 1 backer! The magic backer number that you need to below to be an official Day 1 backer is 338. Thank you for being with us for the very beginning and seeing us off to such a great start.

In fact, it only took about 2.5 hours and we were fully funded! The rest of the 717.5 hours, is STRETCH GOAL TIME! Speaking of that...

Stretch Goals and Promotion Pack Deets

We already achieved the stretch goals to get custom art on the inside of the box and to get Medium in our Promotion Pack! Adding Matchmaker is just a few backers away!

As we keep ripping through these stretch goals, we’ll keep adding more Promotions to that pack. Just like the Equipment Packs of past campaigns, the Promotion Pack will be exclusive to backers for a limited amount of time, usually about 6 months. Then we’ll put it in the BGG store and maybe on our online store.

These Promotions will be a little sillier than the ones in the expansion itself. We feel like we can have a little fun with these when they are promos/free extras.

Rooster Teeth Achievement Hunter

To help cure their quarantine boredom, the Achievement Hunter crew played some absolutely hilarious games of Good Cop Bad Cop on Tabletop Simulator a few weeks ago. The art on these cards is not official art, but the games are worth watching if you want to get a feel for how the base game plays.

Good Cop Bad Cop Online

In addition to Tabletop Simulator, you can also play virtually with this online implementation created by Anthony Lieuallen that is a little more updated. So if you are still stuck in your home, you can in some Good Cop Bad Cop with your friends right here.

Out Style

Our friends at Medieval Lords are putting the Sharpshooter from Good Cop Bad Cop: Promoted in their basketball game, Out Style! They are just finishing up that campaign but there’s still a little time to get in on it.

Thanks again for being with us on Day 1, everyone! Many more stretch goals lay in front of us ready to knock down!
