Good write-up; these sound interesting. BTW, chuckled at your opening paragraph...

I'd never heard of Matt Colville before this Kickstarter rolled out. The big splash made me look at it closer, and it's his previous writing credits that most interests me. I'll probably eventually check out some of his video, but what will more than likely induce me to back this project is the...

I looked at the campaign this morning, and the book part looks interesting. But also trying to do miniatures (for the first time!) and build a broadcast studio makes the goals seem very scattershot and unfocused. Especially for a first-time Kickstarter creator. I generally hope for the best for...

Got tired of packing and unpacking, town to town, up and down the dial? Maybe create some turkeys that can actually fly? #OhTheHumanity

This subclass reminded me of The Princess Bride. "I'm on the Brute Squad." "You ARE the Brute Squad!" He's there to just wade into a combat and bash heads, shrugging off damage that would fell others. Yup, sounds like Andre the Giant! :D

Very glad to hear this! Definitely going on my wish list, then. Hope to share it with my daughters. I recently picked up a replacement copy of another of his books that I enjoyed years ago, A Fine and Private Place, so Mr Beagle has been floating near the top of my mind the last few weeks...

Happy to hear about The Last Unicorn RPG coming out. Is there any way to confirm that Peter S Beagle will actually profit from this deal? I know there's been wrangling over his works, with (apparently confirmed) diversion of royalties from Mr Beagle by his one-time agent and Mr Beagle's struggle...

Original 1E gamer here. Watched 2E from afar, but didn't play due to Real Life. I played a couple of 3.0/3.5 sessions when my kids' homeschool group started dabbling in RPGs, and picked up a new 3.5 paperback Player's Handbook and some other books used. Avoided 4E like the plague. But 5E has...

Yes, I read Matt's statement, and hoped that meant they were doing things behind-the-scenes to address Bill's behavior. But now that I actually see the "ad", it seems more like a middle finger to the industry and those taking Bill to task for his actions. And if it's an ad, what is it...

Thank you very much for sharing your perspective and experience. Well said, and I applaud you. I'd heard about the Frog God ad, but hadn't seen it. Thank you for sharing it. Seeing what a company actually does says a lot more about them than just reading their press releases... We as a society...

The top monk was the Grandmaster of Flowers. The highest-ranking assassin in a city or region was the Grandfather of Assassins. For druids, it was The Great Druid originally, though later (Unearthed Arcana? perhaps later?), that was only the regional head honcho; globally, it was the Grand...

This still feels to me like a first-timer's Kickstarter project. He's promising a lot, quickly. I've seen quite a few projects grind to a crawl, or even crash and burn, under the pressure and cost of actually producing the huge variety of initial goals, not to mention crazy stretch goals...

I'm enjoying your series. Keep on asking interesting questions. Something that I'm trying to establish in my campaign is an analogy of the Spice Road. Moving exotic spices from where they are grown/produced to where foods are bland, or where the rich enjoy trying new, expensive flavors...

Ack! I've been using that wrong for years! Thanks for the link.

I assume they mean it will appear "semi-annually" (twice a year) instead of "bi-annually" (once every 2 years). But it does sound interesting.

Monty Python, Star Trek, Babylon 5, and assorted anime.

I've been pretty lucky with Kickstarters. As mentioned upthread, Kobold Press' Tome of Beasts was great. I've been pleased with both of the Nord Games campaigns I've backed. Bones 3 was significantly late, but I felt like Reaper kept everyone updated on the progress through production and...

As a setting, the Ringworld RPG seems like a no-brainer. I have no idea how the mechanics were in the original game, but Larry Niven's huge playground (along with the rest of his Known Space) just screams for a modern treatment.

TSR's Marvel Superheroes, Amber Diceless, and FASA's Star Trek RPG

Looks gorgeous! And a practical and useful combination of items, too. Any idea what the hardcopy print cost will be when released?
