    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    "....To some extent, I can agree that words may lead to violence. Though, I do not necessarily agree with the implied idea that words are equivalent in value to violence. Certainly, harm can occur in a way that is not physical. However (if I may use a personal example,) regardless of how...

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    I presented a juxtaposition that used two personal examples. Contextually, that was in response to previous posts. As well, part of the context of that was in saying that, while yes, the verbal choices of the church group were indeed hurtful (and I acknowledge that they did, on some level cause...

    He recently claimed he was gay. He also alleges that he had an incestuous gay relationship with his cousin.

    Yes, even the example I used gave a range. So, dismissive? You dismissed both being personally targeted by a hard-core religious group and being blown up in a war zone. Can you elaborate on how exactly and specifically you arrived at your conclusion?

    My interpretation of what Joseph Goodman has said thus far is that the possibility of Bledsaw benefitting is small, and he (Goodman) is willing to limit production so as to turn small into not at all. Is it possible that Joseph Goodman is lying? I suppose it is possible. I mean, I live in a...

    In this case, who would be the third party against whom creation of this product would be a conspiratorial endeavor?

    It's something I'll probably try. A bit lighter than I usually like, but it looks easy enough to add in some complexity in places where I would want more.

    I can agree with some portion of that. Things like racism are part of why I am glad that I have some level of autonomy and ownership over self (and am not wholly subservient to the whims of the community around me). Otherwise, it would likely be the case that the community around me would say...

    I've looked through the free preview. Overall, it is very to understand. How different (if at all) is the full version of the game from the free preview?

    Sorry to hear that happened to your cousin. It may be true that we're not in a Hobbsian war. Personally, I simply don't feel that the social contract includes a clause that makes me a definitive authority on what choices other adults make. I certainly can (and often do) engage in commentary...

    The difference in other forms of production is that crowdfunding gives a possible consumer a hand in whether or not a product should be produced at all. If the funding fails, the product is (typically) not made. Hypothetically, if heroin had a Kickstarter, I wouldn't back it. Others might. I...

    At the very least, it has added a timestamped statistic of support for the product (and one which can be compared to a previous post doing likewise). What do you feel the other posts have added?

    The beauty of crowdfunding is that nobody has to buy it. If there's enough support for a product, those who want it can get it. Those who don't want the product can choose to not support it. Last I checked, somewhere around 1300 people are choosing to support it.

    For those of you who have set up play-by-post games, how do you do it?

    I haven't consistently been on rpol in a long time. Maybe since like 2010. Back then, it was a little bit of a learning curve, but it was pretty easy to use as a GM. I logged on a few months ago to see if my account info was still good. It looks as though rpol updated a lot of the user...

    Goodman Games Offers Assurances About Judges Guild Royalties

    If there were interest in it, they may. I don't have any connection to the business beyond being a customer, so I can't speak to what makes sense for them as a company. It is my perception that GG is happy to work with third-party publishers. As a member of a community (ENWorld) which includes...

    I put it in quotes because a) I was quoting you, and b) the contemporary usage of the word doesn't have a 1:1 correlation to the National Socialist German Workers' Party -even when it is being used to describe measurably terrible people. There are also other words for which I may selectively...

    According to the information given, the aforementioned "Nazis" will not get financial benefit from the project and will not be in any way involved in the creation of the project. Goodman Games is also taking initiative to try to help those who were financially duped by the "Nazis." How has this...
