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.

Current Backertracker projection:

$4,536,403 from 18,117 backers now, in the top five already and bigger than any 5E crowdfunder...with 30 days to go. Should pass Draw Steel! today, has a pretty good shot to pass Cosmere, will probably come close at least.

One year magazine subscriptions are a thing, or used to be when magazines were a thing. Not necessarily defending it, not particularly interested other than observing the campaign from the outside, but it doesn't strike me as all that egregious a strategy.

Rundown of the rules/

$3,639,950 from 14,263 backers and still rising actively, already set to be #6 on this list if they stopped now. Think this is passing Avatar, Cosmere may be in their sights. The spread of interest seems fairly even between the RPG, the card game, and the combination of both. Smart to do them...

Honestly surprised it hasn't happened already?

Not all that different than a Patreon or magazine.
