[QUOTE="Vicente, post: 7726628, member: 5101"] Well, he created something amazing in the past, but his Kickstarter credentials are zero. And the bar right now for RPGs in Kickstarter that are asking 5 figures or more is very high. Check for example Forbidden Lands (another fantasy Kickstarter that recently funded). Their page gives much more information and better examples, they updated their campaign nearly daily (while Empyrea didn't post a single update for days), and it comes from people who have delivered recently in spades (Coriolis, Tales from the Loop, Mutant Year Zero). That's the bar for KS right now. Or check for example any Kevin Crawford KS (Godbound, Stars Without Number Revised), that man runs KS as perfect as anyone can run them. They are nearly finished written when he gets to KS (he has delivered all his KS earlier than expected), and he makes the documents of what he is creating public for everyone (backers and non-backers) so people can comment, help him find issues, and to make him accountable for progress. And then he goes beyond that and has stretch goals like making the art he commissioned public domain and the like. The Empyrea KS felt (at least to me) run by people who don't understand the current times in the RPG crowdfunding scene. They are competing with people like the two examples I posted up there, and they just come short, no matter which famous names are involved on the work. My 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
