Even with the change in direction and the statement?

The cynical view of that is that he had to get it cleared before the purchase (and windfall) of CDPR. I'm not sure which take on this is correct though.

From what I understand he released the wicked ones files first, but redacted the uo stuff as he didn't have the rights. The UO person then created this shared Google drive as the enhanced release.

I backed that one and relic. And they never updated the relic kickstarter. At least they release the files to the public... For relic they did nothing, not even communicate. And it's another one I'm pissed about because I went against my gut and gave more in BackerKit.

I personally think you shouldn't be crowdfunding without a draft and a plan.

I mean, that stuff taking time is one thing - but not even having rules after all that time... that's something else.

The kinds of stretch goals I think are OK- things that you would do no matter what and aren't going to affect delivery, or things that are upgrades to the process, but not the project. What kinds of things do I mean? Sourcebooks that you already have in your pipeline (though I will say, that...

Yeah, and I think that putting something on your calendar and just saying something gives you a lot more grace with backers than hiding.

I have little confidence - so backed for $1

I know that... what I was saying is that the progression means nothing. There are no penalties as your humanity falls other than what you choose to roleplay.

I agree that it could (and should) be a whole lot more. I mean you're the same at almost 0 as you are at 0 empathy in CP, which just seems wrong, which was why the Pendragon virtue system seemed like it would work, but I'm having problems distilling the aspects of humanity vs inhumanity, and how...
