Oh absolutely, I'd rather have GG's reputation and my conscience unspoilt than have them making CSIO. Are failed Kickstarters required to return funds? One can take legal action ofc, but that's why I said "it's been years" because afaik nothing's happened on that front.

Agreed, but throwing in "oh and also getting people back their money" as a bad thing was what I was questioning. It's not even debt as we consider it, really, since kickstarter is technically not a preorder service (though we certainly treat it like one).

Everything else aside, is it a bad thing to get burned kickstarter backers their money returned? It's been years, they're not getting it any other way.

That makes sense... it's enough of a PITA to make sure everyone knows their spells and features when everyone's working off of the same basics- to make a unique system with new powers/spells and such would probably result in a lukewarm reception from most players. Leave it to 3pp to push the...

Pre-painted minis were also much more affordable pre-2016/17. I was able to pick up lots of WotC and Wizkids DnD/PF minis, 60-80ish random minis in a box for about $70. Once DnD started taking off in popularity again (the big stranger things/critrole boom :)), those same lots were more like...

I should note that while DCC heavily recommends trying the funnel method, I have had mixed experiences with it. If you're showing the game off to players for the first time, I'd recommend doing a one shot with some level 2 pregens.

As with most things, I think one should understand and practice the system before modifying it. Also, if you can, understanding why certain decisions were made can help (easier in the ttrpg space to ask designers why they did X instead of Y). There are exceptions, ofc, but usually that's for...

That's not soon enough! 😆 Can't wait

@mamba That must be where I got "contracted to produce," that they have contracts we just have no idea what they are.

I wonder if they'd distinguish between different Patreon creators :'D That's another big one for me- I sign up for some map patreon for a few maps I found online, then go months before I use them again :'D

Keeping track of and cancelling them is the pain. It's easy to sign up, easy to lose track of, and can be a bit of a pain to cancel. The smartest thing I do is cancel something as soon as I sign up for the month... But I'm not always smart.

I have trouble with spending, which of course means that I'll pick up subscriptions that I'll later lose track of. Subscriptions really are the bane of folk like myself. I paid 15/mo for Elder Scrolls Online for 2yrs, played it for maybe 4 hours over 3 sessions.

They really fkd this up. Looking forward to seeing how GG tries to handle this, in a watch-one-of-your-favorite-ttrpg-companies-burn sort of way 🥲

I really need to reach into my brain and figure out where I got the idea that they were, then :(

Appreciate you finding the post.

If GG were contractually obligated to make the product, and the agreement was made before the original hate posts were made (someone correct me if that's the wrong order of events), one wonders if there's some way out of it given JGs actions or just what the penalty is for breaking said contract...

They always have 3d renders, that's nothing new. I'm not saying the quality's excusable, it's just always been a known for those that collected them. The word premium means pretty much nothing, it's used in everything as a marketing term.

A few months is about right... we played whatever the DM was running, which was a great variety of things. Warhammer Fantasy 1e might've been the second thing, except iirc it was a WH40k hack for WHFantasy :'D

Who's clear on the series of events? From what I understand, they said that they wouldn't make another JG product, but they also say that they're contracted to produce this one- from before they said they wouldn't make another? Or what? Not really clear on the timeline.
