You're more charitable in your description of the guy's modus operandi than I am, which is probably for the best. Although I'd strongly warn potential backers to R-U-N from any campaigns that he's involved in. The problem is that he has a history of launching new campaigns under front...

BLG didn't deliver for Fantasy 1, though-- at least not in the USA. Their storage fees for Fantasy 1 went into arrears and they wound up abandoning their inventory to Quartermaster Logistics. QML were sort of the heroes here, though, and instead of just auctioning off the unclaimed property...

Don't disagree. In the case of BLG it was murky because there were a string of campaigns in quick succession and backers in the first 4 or 5 were already taken by the time everything was defaulted on. Later backers especially had evidence of what was going on, had they checked, but it still...

Same. BLG seems to have a history of crowdfunding for miniatures, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars, then failing to fulfill and selling the IP to somebody else-- who charges again for fulfillment. Rinse, wash, repeat. And I blame Kickstarter for allowing it to happen repeatedly.

Yes, Green Ronin just announced to backers that they'd be releasing the PDF early to help fund the ongoing legal situation with Diamond.

Thanks for your take!

No need for 'more contextual awareness,' friend, when my intent is simply to clarify a misleading statement made in a group forum to prevent others from being misinformed. In point of fact, 'availability in any form' is not a disqualifier. Pre-orders and backer rewards don't count. Anyone who...

Cool. I clarified a misleading point made in that (public) conversation for the benefit of others who might not be following the entire thread. In doing so it wasn't my intent to whiz in your Wheaties, and I hope you have a nice day!

My comment had nothing to do with Legend of the Mist and everything to do with the potentially-misleading statement that any availability of a game was disqualifying. The pick stands.

Sorry for being overly nitpicky, but this thread is already picking some hefty nits. Per rule 2, backer rewards and pre-orders don't count.

The two that top my list right now are: 1. The Expanse: Transport Union Edition by Green Ronin 2. Warhammer: The Old World RPG by Cubicle 7

One does not simply walk into Christie's and buy J.R.R. Tolkien's desk.

I could be mistaken, but I don't think 4th edition has been released to the wild yet. There's an interview with the game designer about the 4th edition Kickstarter here. It doesn't go into a lot of detail mechanically but the comments were pretty lively with a lot of players weighing in. I...

The first edition of Colonial Gothic was fantastic. We had a lot of fun playing this supernatural horror game set amidst the terror and bloodshed of savage warfare in a colonial landscape. I haven't seen or played this edition, but the setting and concept are both really solid-- I'd recommend...

Agreed. Plus there are new/alternate character professions in at least six or seven splatbooks. 4th edition has a few rough spots to be ironed out, but overall the biggest overhaul that it's screaming for is organizational.
