Well that's poor management, isn't it?

I understand that, but the project with bigger budget is still more likely to succeed than fail.

I think one of the main issues in this case is that the project was 300% over the needed budget and yet nothing will be produced. When a project reaches only a 100% it should be expected that they still might fail, but 300%? That for me spells immediate project success and more.

I guess then some kind of contingency plan should be in order. Let's say you need 20.000$ to print and ship and somewhere along the way you fall short. If your digital book pledge costs 20$ and your pledge with a printed book and shipping costs 50$ and you waste 10.000$ you can still give...

Or if the system is well made it could use it as an advantage. I never liked in D&D how a fighter or a wizard can easily min-max. If the system favors balancing skills, stats and abilities instead of boosting a small number, there wouldn't be min-maxing behavior. Those who do min-max would have...

Do you mean the Amanda Palmer's album? I don't know, I'm not a fan of her music. My friend, who is a fan told me about her kickstarter and even there were some unpleasant occurrences, but I don't know much about it.

I also think kickstarter has changed greatly. My main concern is that a lot of people who are famous, have money and reputation (both in rpg community and outside) are still turning to kickstarter as a safe shot. Turning it into a pre-order for their future product. Kickstarter doesn't really...

MichaelSomething, I would prefer the fight with options opposed to barbarian without options. But I do prefer classless RPGs like GM_Chris.

As little as possible for me. I want a class to give me a freedom to make the character I want. I always hated the fact that if I want to play a barbarian in 3.5E who tracks, I have to spend a valuable resource (a feat every 3 levels) or multiclass into a ranger. More annoying yet, I get things...

One question I have about F&S: Does it have passive defense (such as D&D's AC) or active defense (such as GURPS in which you can parry, dodge, or block)? Johnny3D3D We went with passive defense. Your defense is gained from your character's agility, armor coverage (the type of armor give SOAK...

There should be a fine balance between "what a character is able to do via the rules and what the character is actually doing in the campaign", like ExploderWizard said. I think that rules that are flexible and adaptable to situations help here the most. So that there isn't a long list of...

The biggest simplification comes with magic. Add that to a deadlier combat and new special abilities and you get a really fast action. Tracking skills is easier as well. Another thing that greatly benefits gaming sessions is fast character upgrading. Leveling used to take a lot of time for some...

@B.T. - Yes, in our next updates we will cover the mechanics of combat, spells, crafting and skills. In next few days we will post an update with monster and demon lore as well. F&S isn't really based on 4E. Our starting point was 3.5E but with rebuilding in every part of the game. In our...

While I love to crunch, writing adventures is probably my favorite. I'm mainly into mysterious and scary adventures, murder solving and adventures that are resolved by learning the truth of things. I spice this with a strong villain, new location and a personal background. It all adds up to a...
