To add onto that fact - one of the common complaints that's been mentioned is that a lot of people clamour for X or Y game to come onto a VTT platform, but the people asking for games to adopt their platform are the same people who want to play the game. There is, surprisingly, a lot of people...

There's no cutoff date for the discount - you buy the hero's book anytime, you get a discount on the codex.

The monster's book is pretty much vital, but you only need ONE copy of it for the whole table. The game is built on combat, which requires the monster stat blocks which are are all very detailed. BUT - you can get the Delian Tomb for $10 if you want to get your feet wet OR you can find the...

Technically, the Encounters book, along with a bunch of others - aren't being FUNDED by the kickstarter - they were going to do those books anyways; it was just logistically easier to include them in the shipping plan of Crack the Sun; mostly for advertising.

Except the idea of 'gaining victories' lends to a wholly different tone. Crows is more of a survival horror tone - that is undermined if characters get more POWERFUL as the adventure progresses; survival horror IS about dwindling power and the approach of the death spiral; as opposed to the...

The Fury killed their ally, mostly!

Oh hey, that's me.

Something completely new. Its still in nascant stages (the devs are greyboxing it), but its unclear if it will be 2d6 or 2d10 system. Its being designed purely around classic, low or even no magic dungeon delving survival horror.

Space Fantasy, based on everything I've heard.

As an aside, but James Intracaso (lead designer) is noodling at a new project called Crows that is VERY much that desperate mercenary style game; where you don't have powers, your most valuable tools are your inventory, and dying is VERY likely.

It does. I've got about 50 sessions under my belt as part of a longer form campaign, and while its not a short learning curve - there does seem to be a point where these mechanics become intuitive, and then the players start to focus less on HOW does a rule work, and more about how to make a...

I suppose that's up to the person. A game system won't tell you someone's emotional disposition.
