As a clarifying update: one of the stretch goals they flew by in day two was "all RPG backers get the Season Pass at all tiers", so even someone who just gets the Starter Set at the lowest $55 pledge gets the Season Pass as part of the deal.

This is the first year since maybe 2018 I'm not working on Saturdays...

I had the surreal experience of browsing the rule examples yesterday, and then starting the book for the first time in the evening and going "oh, hey, this is just the game they are making now"...

That is what the card game in the crowdfunder looks like.

I don't detest it at all, in fact I love the prose. Just not sure I get it.

I'm not sure the book is to my taste fully, but enjoying getting into the first one now. Lit-RPG is one of the first things to give me real "Get Off My Lawn, You Darn Kids" energy, but I'm happy for the people who like it.

It will be fascinating to watch this play out. DC had more backers on day 1 and 2 than Cosmere, but smaller dollar totals, but the number of examples of TTRPG Kickstarters of this magnitude is just two, so how it legs out will be fun. The Backertracker spread currently is $7.5-$22.38 million...

The wait list after me is like 70 people.

By a coincidence of library hold timing, just started reading the novel tonight. What they have shown of the system seems really on point with what is in the novel for the Lit-RPG format. Interested to see how this plays out.

I'm pretty sure the Seasons are what the program is about.

Just started Dungeon Crawler Carl. It's a trip.

$5,197,255 from 21,117 backers. Now the third highest RPG Crowdfunder ever, having passed Draw Steel! and Gloomhaven, with 30 days to go. Trending pretty close to Cosmere after two days, might get more or at least close. Only Avatar and Cosmere remain as milestones to pass.

Starting d getting into Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition with my kids. My oldest son is really getting into speed running as a concept, really nice to share a little slice of 80s nostalgia with the Gen Alpha brigade.
