Again, I think when this thread started, the catagories were curated by humans, but arenow being operated by LLM. It would explain too much.

Not perfectly: the Stormlight Starter Set is not in that category. The Monster Manual is Number One in "Game Pieces" which is mostly WotC D&D books or spare parts for chess sets, or marbles.

True, the Cosmere "all in" had a lot of books with Lore and Adventure material for two Settings, whereas as this one is the Starter Set and the core book plus the unrelated card game and a ton of swag. Might be more people dipping their toes in just some of the core RPG or card material.

OK, a update on the current status, DCC is doing extremely well, trending towards $14.1 million per BackerTracker, but getting ahead of Cosmere is still well within their margin of error with a few weeks to go: That being said, the Cosmere RPG did have a higher number for each day-to-date so...

That's like asking if I consider a certain cookbook part of the Food Network Culinary Universe: a cookbook is a tool to guide in making something, not Scripture.

Is Paizo selling that content in a publication...? Did WotC sell third party content in Dragon or Dungeon magazine...? My point isn't exactly that it should or should not count, but that the situation is so different as to make the comparison inexaxt, apples to oranges. But at this point, if...

Not at all. They can be followed, and successfully. They can be happily enough undershot, and you would have to be a psychopath to overshoot them, but you cna build and run a dungeon to 5E assumptions. In fact, doing so is a pretty good horror experienxe, or at least an action experience with...

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.
