I would argue that not only does it cut out the middle folks, but it also frees them from a certain level of responsibility and risk. AFAIK, with a Kickstarter you don't even have to deliver the product! (:cough: :Megatokyo Visual Novel: :cough:). (I am assuming KS and Uncle Sam probably takes...

Should we start betting on what the final numbers will be? I'm guessing 2000 backers $292250 raised.

D&D 2024 Paladin sings and picks locks.

I have a 2014 5e campaign that started in 2022. I am starting a new 2024 5e campaign.

Got postponed because of COVID

Am I understanding this right? That it's actually cheaper to get the PDF through the kickstarter than to get the PDF through drivethrurpg? https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/508832/daggerheart-corebook?src=hottest Drivethrurpg - $30 Kickstarter - $25

I guess based on this formula, Daggerheart class cards won't be joining the million dollar club. Right now, it's $160,948 with 1,092.

Not even daggerheart subreddit seems to be all that excited about the kickstarter, and no mention of it in the criticalrole subreddit either. I guess there is still time though.

Just out of curiousity, what were your expectations? The fact that it met its goals in less than 6 hours seems pretty impressive to me, but I'm also not super familiar with the kickstarter landscape. (The only kickstarter that I ever followed closely was the Megatokyo visual novel...

TLDR: I am convinced that the Starter Set is worth the cost and now am considering getting it for myself. I was initially skeptical about the $50 price tag, but this post by @Whizbang Dustyboots completely changed the way I think about this set...

I've come around. I am really liking the idea of the starter set as a "boardgame version of DND," and not necessarily as a stepping stone for the full game. I am looking at my old Essentials Kit & Pathfinder Beginners Box on my shelf, and I don't think I'd ever be able to convince any of my...

That's interesting. I actually feel like most health bars I encountered were either yellow or green or white. (EDIT: Back in the day, that is.) I think the first time I saw a heatlh bar was for Street Fighter. I remember that in the original game, the health bars were fully yellow at full...

I played a lot of computer games when I was a child. In those games, you died if you get hit even once. Super Mario Brothers with the mushroom changed that, which, to me, was amazing. Then Super Mario Brothers 2 (the one with radishes) had these little red things that allowed me to not die even...

The starter set and the PHB cost the same amount, right? I think they are both $50.

I find it interesting that there seems to be focus on improving the quality of all the bits and bobs in the kit, which will certainly raise the price of the kit. It does make me wonder if all of us have a different idea of what a starter set should be. Like if this is something to get the buyer...
