The final commercial has been posted to YouTube... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kC9-bfsNne8

Dave Bautista as Minsc might be worth it.

My biggest complaint right now is that I rolled a Bard (my fault) and the starting party composition ended up with 2 bards (me and Lini) and cleric and a barbarian. So we have a bit of healing, but not a ton of damage dealing. It got better once Valerie joined the party, but I'll do better...

A fair amount of the pushback is just from folks who don't like "monsters" as playable characters, even if the creatures have variable ethics and morality that can allow them to be heroic. It breaks verisimilitude for them to see goblins as PC's, but honestly, I think that part of the appeal of...

Yes, player characters can learn to do sorcery (in addition to petty magic, alchemy, and other forms of magic). Sorcery requires characters to permanently lose Resolve (basically mental health) to learn spells and temporarily lose it to cast spells. Failures on Sorcery checks can incur...

It is uncrunchy. It's not quite as "lite" as Fate or Savage Worlds, but it is in the neighborhood. There is a pair of episodes of Tabletop where Chris Pramas runs the players thru a session of Dragon Age if you want to get an idea (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-61i3R5y9Y for the first one).

It is using a version of the AGE system (used by Dragon Age, Fantasy AGE, and Blue Rose).

I don't even vaguely remember a BattleTech TCG.

Oops...totally missed that.

I think the Star Frontiers module is just a Drive Thru RPG release....that module has otherwise been out of print for about 35 years...

Yeah, the Kickstarter commenting system is not a good means to try to interface with the fiction (they really need something that allows message threads if they want to do that). I check in the comments periodically to see if there are any campaign announcements, but other than that I've...

A lot of the stuff outside Western Europe that was historical (and not made up for the sake of dragons) to me read a lot like the author had lightly researched it, but hadn't actually communicated with anyone either from the cultures or who were more intimately familiar. The Incan, African, and...

Very Temeraire (particularly Crucible of Gold), although this seems a bit more well developed (I liked the Temeraire books, but they felt less well developed when they left western Europe).

Thanks for digging that up...it was in a cluster of about 10 comments that I had completely overlooked when I had scrolled thru. Its unfortunate that they feel that way, but I'm really doubting (at this point) that the campaign will reach a sufficient level where the $100 level will be worth it...

The last purely Numenera KS campaign they ran (for Into the Ninth World) had about 3300 backers for sourcebooks (so we can assume most were already Numenera supporters), so it is probably a fairly safe bet that we'll have at least the same amount on this campaign (maybe more since this is for...
