OSRIC is just D&D, not sure why it would need to be added

I am curious about your rationale for including some of them. What did this section of your list lead to? Ars Magica Sorcerer Burning Wheel Savage Worlds Fate

given that TSR did no market research, I wonder if this is not simply a matter of ‘we did not want to do this’ more than anything. Not sure what market signals there were, but TSR ignoring them would be on par as well

probably not, depends on the level of success of the KS

I don’t think anyone equates the two, the point is the words are still harmful, and who knows if the Bledsaws leave it at words (as opposed to trying to influence policy…)

don’t know what their rules are, but this one has some rules for aerial combat https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dracostudios/dragonbond-endless-sagas/description “Aerial Combat Challenge your players' tactical prowess with aerial dogfights. Learn maneuvers such as the Underwhip, swinging...

I would not call it conspiratorial in this case, but Bledsaw benefitting / getting more attention could very well be harmful to other people. As I wrote, it is pretty much right on that line.

at a minimum indirectly, without his license it cannot made not clear at this point, if so it would most likely be minor no

the problem being the bolded part I believe usually about 50% of those following a KS end up backing it. I expected a higher number

as long as no one else is impacted, probably, but if they basically conspire against a third party them agreeing to do so does not fall under the ‘consenting adults’ scenario. This case straddles the line between the two, depending on how / whether JG benefits from this

that is true for any product, not just crowdfunding. The beauty of free speech is that we can can tell the manufacturer just what we think of them making that product in the first place. There being buyers does not mean it is inherently desirable for the product to be made, which is why eg...

they separated the graph into three areas, the start, which was great compared to prior editions but not to the heights of 5e, the rise of 5e and finally reduced numbers after Fizban's

but those are not lost sales, if they did not release 2024 they would not have bought new core books either. The only way people sticking with 2014 would result in a sales decline would be if they do not buy adventures and other supplements either See Are D&D Sales Declining? the pictute is...

so you expect those that stay with 2014 to buy any new WotC books, not just not the new core? Unless they also do not buy adventures, I am not sure how you arrive at a drop off

are you ever only doing things you benefit from financially? They could feel an obligation to their backers, they could like to see their father’s work / legacy in print again

over being a racist? yes, cannot say that I have a problem with that. You (general) are not entitled to my business regardless of who you are will do I’d rather the product would not be made than the Bledsaws getting royalties from it. I definitely can insist on that, and if that means the...

I guess the difference is that JG could afford to refund the handful of backers that did ask but is in no position to do so if many backers were to ask - and would not have to either. With GG paying for the refund, more backers can be refunded. The question is how many will even be aware that...

JG does not have to pay reimbursements, failed KS generally do not, as the money they collected was spent

basically... the KS would have to make more than 800k, and that is more than they expect I guess. Thracia made 650k, The Dark Tower 450k
