If I tell the public that there will be no future projects based on JG material, then I check whether I can get out of all existing contracts first, or I hedge it and say that I will not enter any new ones and am looking into terminating all existing ones. The contract dispute still happens...

the limit is to not pay license fees to JG directly, the short window probably serves the same purpose. The only thing that might be due to JG is that you do not get a PDF with the printed book, but even that could be about limiting the licensing fees. Also, if Goodman knew he had a contract...

say one thing, do another when it makes you some money. You are not really a supporter of disenfranchised communities when you only offer words of solidarity while it is convenient and drop that pretense as soon as it gets in the way of you making a buck. GG quite literally sold out their...

did you expect it to make a large difference?

I assume these are multiple PDFs, just like there are multiple books. So think of it as 4 PDFs of $30 each plus some smaller ones

the original KS made 85k, JG gets around 10% of this KS. The number of products available is limited at the cut-off point so JG should never get money due to too many sales. The one variable is whether all the backers of the JG version now, over 10 years later, hear about the option to /...

the price for PDFs is pretty arbitrary, I am used to them being around 50% of the print price, but then there are 50% off sales and sometimes bundles that are 80-90% off. So I see this as following the print price again, except that they went with 65% which is pretty high. You do get 800 pages...

So this contains the CSIO itself a Wilderlands Gazetteer of the surrounding area with details on 100 cities and villages, so a decent chunk of area Thunderhold, a dwarven citadel Wraith Overlord, the dungeons for CSIO No wonder this will be their last JG project, there is nothing left after...

jeez, $200 for the print was kinda expected, but $130 for some pdfs? Well, was not gonna back this anyway ;)

it’s also a lot harder to live without a phone or electricity than it is to do without a new version of CSIO. I don’t buy into the whole ‘if you tolerate one not so great thing you might as well jump fully into the cesspool’ narrative, it is an excuse to do nothing

Guilty of what though? Guilty of being bigots? no, most are not saying that. Guilty of making bad decisions that affect their reputation and some people prefer they would not have made? definitely. Just saying 'but we are the good guys and are for inclusion' is not enough, practice what you preach.

10% discount is generous already, that money went to JG who blew it, not to GG. You are basically asking GG to give their product away for free to some random people who happened to ‘buy’ a product GG had nothing to do with, makes about as much sense as giving a copy to people who stayed at a...

future KS could give an indication

I am sure someone somewhere did mischaracterize them, but there are plenty people that accurately represent the efforts and disagree with their decisions… They are free to make their bed however they want, but they will have to also lie in it

probably because that would not satisfy the preservation aspect, but to me it would have been the better choice. Not everything has to be an OAR, they just did a Giants adventure outside the OAR but probably Against the Giants inspired, they could have done something similar here. Might even be...

sure, CSIO was early, which helps it being remembered, had it come out 10 or so years later, no one would remember it. That does not mean it was hugely influential however, I don't think it had a huge impact beyond the product itself. We had plenty of city settings after it, and I do not think...

at best it is a painting by some semi-famous artist, this is OAR 10 after all, not the-one-and-only I can too, and to me they are wrong

if you are not comparing the two, then you are missing the point. The CSIO is a middling product which gets preserved because it was early in TTRPG history, not because it is such a great work of art. Not having a current version therefore is no big loss and in no way justifies working with a...

and, more importantly, the extent necessary to get the product done no, I am already expecting that he gets no money from this directly

ok, still not sure how that makes it the wrong setting for an ARPG
