[QUOTE="kenmarable, post: 7742670, member: 40359"] Lasers & Liches looks awesome. I hope they work things out better for their next Kickstarter. Although variant games look interesting to me, I never actually play them. This one, however, looked like something I might try to get my family or other group to play on occasion! However, some of the tiers did seem a bit odd to start with. There seemed to be rather expensive PDFs with rather cheap step ups to hardcover books. On the one hand, I can see that as enticing to upgrade your pledge, but if you only want PDFs, it's pretty clear you are in a way paying for other people to have cheaper hardcover books. (Or maybe they were assuming ridiculously high print runs. But even still, I don't think $15 hardcover books are very realistic, so the $30 PDF was likely helping subsidize the hardcover price.) Also, I love Christopher West's maps and the Halls of Legend looks incredible... except it's unlikely to be the entire thing. If it was for the full set of maps, I could see paying $100 for the whole thing and basing most of a campaign around it. I would absolutely love that!! Unfortunately, the way the Kickstarter is set up, every map past the first is a stretch goal, and it's looking iffy on reaching even the 2nd map. I would pay for the entire, well-detailed castle but 25% of a castle is pretty much useless to me. :( Kind of a weird position where I would be willing to drop a lot of money on it but only if it met it's stretch goals, and without meeting ALL of those stretch goals, I have zero interest.
