“Now, the Goodman folks jumped ahead of us; we were to have a planned rollout in July of this year. The Guild version, in Bob Bledsaw's JG Universal format will include materials Bob wrote but has never been used. The page count has doubled, and will likely come in 2 Volumes.” I believe it when...

Who has? Goodman? He explained his position, did not see all that much penance, the project is full steam ahead… Bledsaw? You must be reading a very different post from what I read…

and why is that? because Gygax / TSR needed money and she got shares in return. Without her TSR would have gone bankrupt years earlier, all thanks to Gary and the Blumes

more like JG gets money for the license and this is the closest to JG not actually getting any money from it

the discussion was about upping HP, not AC ;)

Can you show that math, curious to see what it looks like

yeah, about on par with the Wizkid offering, but much cheaper…

that quote was from one of the designers of DW2, so at a minimum they do not think it matches the PbtA philosophy

that trick being much harder to pull off once you use games that have more differences than 5e has from A5e and ToV. Combining these is pretty simple, but combining 1e and 4e with 5e will be a lot harder. If you are looking for a common rule between these three, is what you are playing still...

not sure either, definitely getting rid of HP for one

more traditional PbtA design, not ‘diluted’ with D&D-isms it’s more than that though, the stats will be different too, and not just in name. As to HP, maybe you could replace it with conditions, but the handful of conditions feels much too shallow for me to do so (injured, sick, angry, …) To...

from what little I know of either game, DW was not what you were describing, so the gameplay style you describe DW2 as moving to is essentially that of DW already and the real change is moving much closer to vanilla PbtA

Was DW mostly about dungeon crawling? Never tried it, but I thought it was kinda halfway between D&D and PbtA, and D&D has not been mainly focused on crawling since the early 80s, so I did not expect DW to be. If the change is to get away from dungeon crawling that is one thing, the changes...

that heavily depends on what you back. ENWorld is on time, Kobold Press generally is too, or certainly within a month of it, smaller 3pps / single persons are far less reliable in that regard. Digital is also easier to get on time than the printed books

depends on what you back I guess, for TTRPGs that 40% number should be a lot lower based on my experience, more like 2% to 4% based in what I tracked (not backed…) which is probably around 150 KS over the last 2 years or so

saw the first 15 minutes, how if there is money left over, it will have to go to JG and that they limit the printed copies run to avoid that (so it would be due to a lack of refund requests), they did not mention digital once in those 15 minutes. Good to know.

the video very clearly talks about limiting the printed copies, at around 9:00 to 11:00 this is being discussed. It also talks about the KS only, assuming the KS does not sell out of all available copies (hard to do with digital…), there would potentially be future licensing fees too.

makes it unlikely for the Bledsaws to benefit monetarily. I don’t know about impossible, unless they get nothing from PDF sales or Goodman limits those as well There could also be indirect benefits like being able to have another JG Kickstarter once the failed one has been ‘cleaned up’ that...

I have a similar number I guess, there is not one I do not currently expect to get, but some are running way late (a year or more)

depends on who the other owner would be, but yes, the problem is the owner, not the product itself. That still does not mean the previous sales of previous versions are now retroactively problematic however, it is still new sales that are.
