Yeah, I was actually referring to The Magnus Archives in my original post. I didn’t realise The Old Gods of Appalachia was based on a podcast as well.

What other podcast TTRPGs has he done? Or is this his first?

It's not on this list due to its end date, but Monte Cook's The Magnus Archives Kickstarter has joined the $1m club and is now Monte's second biggest Kickstarter (behind the Old Gods of Appalachia RPG, which topped $2m). Quite surprising considering this is a Backerkit campaign, but I guess The...

Ah, ok. I read it as a 6d16 system. Not a d616 system. Using d6’s is much less convoluted, even with one being a special die.

A 6d16 system seems needlessly convoluted. What is their reasoning for it?

I’m an absolute sucker for XCrawl and I’m stoked to see that it’s doing so well. I didn’t think it had that much of a following.

Unfortunately the low traffic ones suffer from the very fact that they are low traffic. I don’t see little discussion making it easy to keep up with as a pro of a discord.

Yep, so frustrating. I hate that most forums have died and been replaced with discords.

Discord is terrible for any discussion you want to find more than a day after the discussion has been had. The more active a particular discord channel is, the worse it is for anything like that.

They didn’t hire a cleaning crew previously. That was part of the problem.

My favourite character class is rogue and my education background is in economics and finance, so Clerk and Dagger definitely has me very curious.

Apologies, I should have been more specific. The minis from the first few Reaper Bones campaigns were the lower quality ones. I agree that the Bones Black material is definitely much better and a step up in quality, with much sharper details and edges.

Totally agree. Gloomhaven is regarded as one of the best board games ever, so there will be plenty of people willing to back Project X from the same creator if that was literally all they knew about it. They’re succeeding in spite of their marketing of this particular campaign.

Sure, but the quality will be CMoN board game mini level though. If that appeals to you it’s a fantastic deal. I backed several Reaper Bones miniatures campaigns for similar quality minis. However, I wouldn’t back for a tonne of minis that quality any more as the shallow detail makes them not...

I still think you’re being too kind to Ernie. He can’t be that close to what’s going on and still remain unaware of how wrong he is, especially when several close friends have specifically stated that they told him why what he was doing was wrong. He’s made a conscious choice to align with...

Apologies if that’s how it came across. That wasn’t my intent. I’m a language stickler at times and consequences is a word that often gets used in a negative context (as the word “negative” is normally just omitted), but the word itself is neutral. Consequences are just what happens as a...

Personally I’m fine taking responsibility for the choices of my actions. Consequences aren’t always negative, even for bad choices. Some people repeatedly succeed in spite of themselves. Conversely, sometimes you can do everything right and still fail.

So he wants no consequences for his continual bad choices. Gotcha.

Yeah, I don’t get why so many people, even in this thread, seem to have this perception that Ernie has somehow been “innocently” caught up in this, rather than being one of the key players in it.

Nope, not in the slightest.
