Pete Mullin’s art took our ideas and rendered them with an irreverent comic intensity.

Cormac from Purpose Communications provided invaluable assistance. Would recommend.

Thank you to all that have supported us thus far.

Hi All

We are two-thirds through the campaign and are 25% funded. It is clear to us that, pending an incredible piece of good fortune, Baby Boomer: Have it All! won’t fund.

Whilst we are disappointed about this, we are very heartened by the support we have received.

[Fat Rain Games @FatRainGames1]

Baby Boomer: Have It All! is still a game we are proud of creating and we hope to find a different path to bring it to an audience.

We would like to give a special thanks to our partners Caroline, Carolina and Sally.

How do you win Baby Boomer: Have it All!? Happiness! Getting more happiness than the other #Boomers. . C'mon be a Boomer today⁠!

What game made you really fall in love with games? Ryan and I use to play Carcassonne pretty much every Friday/Saturday night after the pubs closed

[Fat Rain Games @FatRainGames1]

@Mad__Overlord Yes, just been released in an English version. My understand is it is a simplified d20 take on BRP and has lots of excellent fun bits

[Fat Rain Games @FatRainGames1]

@Mad__Overlord I just got Swords & Wizardry and have a bunch of other retroclones - but OSE remains the one I run for this style of game. Though apart from my WFRP campaign it is Dragonbane that really has my focus right now

[Fat Rain Games @FatRainGames1]

This generational tension over home ownership in particular is the heart of the drama and mechanics of our #boardgame

@Mad__Overlord I haven't run it yet - using OSE for 'classic' fantasy D&D style games. But it looks like a blast.

[Fat Rain Games @FatRainGames1]

Do you run a games shop, part of a Kickstarter buying group, like having multiple copies of the same game, do you believe in the application of radical equality in the buying of Xmas Presents?

We offer a bulk option of 6 sets!

Mike, one third of Fat Rain Games, also made this amazing and awesome #starwars fan film Star Wars Downunder! Check it out!

We get a lot of praise for our video - and that's fair enough because just like Boomers and our game about them, it is bloody great.
