    Kickstarter Bloatware

    Yes. I am done with Ghostfire after they delayed my order for 14 months. I, literally ordered $300 in books and it took them over a year to deliver and the CS was awful. This is paired with the fact that they do not provide PDFs with physical purchase. They do not even offer a reduced rate with...

    D&D 5E (2024) Where Are All The New Books In 2026 (D&Dfans article)

    BG3 was in beta for 3 years and I do not remember a big push of supporting material although it was embraced after success. Honor suffered heavily due to OGL backlash although it was an excellent movie. The issue with franchise models is that they go the safe, focus group tested content...

    D&D 5E (2024) Where Are All The New Books In 2026 (D&Dfans article)

    It means that all decisions will be unified and work together. A product release will work across multiple media and not siloed. It is a recipe for creative destruction. Look at Star Wars novels when Disney forced them to adhere to the story group. They became boring and everything was on...

    D&D 5E (2024) Predict WotC's 2026 D&D releases

    Same. I am struggling to think of anything they can release that would excite me. 2024 was a let down and I am not sure I want more remakes of 5e content that I already own.

    D&D 5E (2024) Where Are All The New Books In 2026 (D&Dfans article)

    They have been making a lot of Beyond updates to bring back 2014 content that they messed up in the character builder when they launched 2024. They are also doing a massive database rebuild.

    Kickstarter Bloatware

    Correct. They load the physical tiers with junk. It is one reason EN Publishing projects are always a back for me. They are reasonable. Monte Cook Games always offers real value too. Their tiers are books and more content.

    I have backed over 200. I would have to go through the tubs to try and match the junk to the KS.

    Kickstarter Bloatware

    There are a lot of KS campaigns that add more books to higher tiers that force bloat into those tiers if you want the added books.

    You have a different model. Personally, when MCG etc adds more books or expands the ones that offer, then that gets me excited. The most recent Odyssey KS where stretch goals included more subclasses got me excited. Dice, minis, pins, stickers….those just turn me off now.

    Kickstarter Bloatware

    I have two 50 gallon tubs of this junk now. It is getting over the top. I’d rather they add chapters or additional books. If it was relegated to add-ons, then great but I often am forced to take it to get the books I want. I find it frustrating and I have started avoiding the projects with...

    Kickstarter Bloatware

    This is a side discussion from the failed kickstarter project thread. Is anyone else tired of the kickstarter bloatware? I am getting so tired of all the cards, dice, stickers, and other junk. It is the equivalent of bloatware. You back a tier that has the content you want and are forced to...

    Tell your overdue Kickstarter story

    Yes! I am getting so tired of all the cards, dice, stickers, and other junk. It is the equivalent of bloatware. You back a tier that has the content you want and are forced to take junk. Instead, give me more content or expand the book. I think it is just a way to charge prices out of line...

    Spidermind Games Dragoneye Dice. They are selling the dice at retail, refusing to send the dice to backers, and the last update in June was that they would give vouchers for a free-for-all listing in some mythical website where you could get first come first serve of whatever dregs they have...
