A Quickstart will be released "later this year". It will showcase the rules (at least enough to judge if it is something that one likes).

The book opens up into a square (that is why it is so narrow). Also, every page (at least where you don't have full page art) has two squares as it's layout.

This is a 2LM project, Free League is just the publisher (responsible for physical distribution, and probably some of the marketing). I don't see any Free League names in the preview document, so I think the creative aspects are handled 100% per 2LM.

2LM has already mentioned that this will not be using the DC System (the system from Outgunned), but a new system (let's see how different it is), and that they will soon release a Quick Start, which will probably include enough mechanical information to judge it. I am secretly hoping that the...

Their partnership with CMON was very short-lived, they became independent years ago. What was newer development is that they've bought back Broken Compass from CMON (which was the only 2LM IP that stayed with CMON)

I'm a bit said that they expect everyone to buy minis. I don't need and even dislike minis, and there is no relevant bundle that does not include minis. I had to add everything as addons, which took quite long, and I don't even get bundle discounts this way. I hope that this is not a sign that...

Regardless of the reason why, the fact that the PF to Savage Worlds conversion was a direct one, and not "Savage World"-ified, made me stop buying them. I was hoping for a complete re-work, in a Savage Worlds Plot Point Campaign style.

Re grimdark and frogs: it's probably not what the definition of what grimdark is, but there was a Netflix animation called Kulipari: An Army of Frogs (based on some novels, but I haven't read them), that is about frogs that fight against scorpions and other evil enemies. And it gets quite dark...

They were quite complex in WoT (the novel, I don't remember how it was in the RPG), but I found them very interesting: Link

Inspired by The Wheel of Time? Or were there other fantasy novels where Circles were important?

My favourite evil non-orc monsters are the trollocs from The Wheel of Time. They are as disturbing as it gets and have an interesting variety.

I've backed it, but I can (and probably will) unback it. Unless they give a shipping estimate, confirm that shipping will be EU friendly (delivery duties paid), and they give information about whether a campaign is included. Currently they are saying on Facebook that they cannot tell us whether...

I backed this as I like Voltron, but there are a lot of red flags. They are not offering EU and other non-US friendly shipping, but when asked they say they do not want to talk about shipping now. Whenever someone comments something critical, they report that comment so that it gets hidden. This...

I think this is not just this book (without having read it), but CoC releases in general. Even though well written, they include a lot of text. Lately I am looking for things that are quicker to read, easier to run, needing less time to prepare.

I find the last stretch-goal the least interesting of all the already achieved and upcoming ones. What I'd like to see achieved is "Shrouded London" and "New Unscenes". Regardless, the game seems to be very interesting, so do some of the alternate settings included: I like Unsinkable and Court...
