I agree with pretty much everything said here. Gurps is a great go to rules system. I also really like their sheets.

From Sept 28th through Oct 1st if you pledge even $1.00 to AfterEarth: The Fall you get the Soundtrack and a full size AfterEarth Poster shipped to you for free. Just pledge and when you are contacted indicate you pledged through "EN World" If you have any questions feel free to ask me.

OP what did you decide to go with?

I am going to have to check out their non-kickstarter stuff now with so many people liking their product. Are there any sets that are really amazing, or ones that are not so good? I already wrote down the couple I saw that 1 of the posters really loved.

Look up:) People don't have to respond to write your username. But I think Stormonu probably gets what I meant anyway. Just wanted to make it clear that the experience hasn't been great with these kinds of things but not exactly with this company that's all. I also might have thought Treebore...

Man this is a great thread to read. I like this kind of thing alot.

Wait what? I didn't say a thing about these guys. I was talking about the past experiences I had with OTHER companies...heck I even pledged to get some from these comes ARG! DANG tough crowd.

Ya I would also advise against pushing your game into power gamer mentality. I think you have some excellent opinions here and ideas. It also really doesn't sound like you are doing much wrong. I think open communication with your players is the best to identify what you and they agree on and...

Wow thats a pretty glowing endorsement, especially compared to other companies. I am glad I pledged. Now I am super excited!

EDITED: Because people keep thinking I am talking about this company. I am giving experiences with past companies and the product genre NOT this kickstarter!!! Being totally honest, because I don't want to ding on a Kickstarter, I have yet to find a good print out constructed set like this that...

Awesome timing and a unique subject matter. I also recently had one of my parents play. We were playtesting our game and I wanted to get someone not in any way involved to check it out. It was awesome. I think that some games, depending on rules, can easily be described to parents in an...

I think it IS best to talk to them and identify if that is the game they want to play. I know that some GM's can give off signals in the way they explain things that can make the mechanics feel far more important than the rest. Nothing wrong with asking whats up and identifying how they want to...

Thanks Robert. We will be updating the Kickstarter with some videos covering even more of the rules really soon.

Thank you for the messages, PM's and other contacts. Enworld contacts have helped us identify some things we needed to change, which we did. I really appreciate the heads up and the suggestions!

This may not fit in your list, I am having a bit of trouble identifying who the list would be for but...FUN should be in there somewhere. Unless I missed it, the majority of my gamers get together to have a good time. For 27 years of GM'ing whenever I ask someone why they play or why they want...

Wouldn't other nations before and after that have suitable representations you could find. Mythalogical representations? I would think there are things within the time-frame somewhat?

Yep each GM would set up a game differently and have different expectations.

Ah I see. I guess I should not have been concrete like that. I mean I could see the occasional question or perhaps if there are a good deal of different dice used but I usually create some kind of cheat sheet for those as well. I guess I can see that now. With playtesters on AfterEarth we had...

It seems odd they would be even asking about a once a round action as they should probably either know it from character creation or have some character sheet cheats.. We don't usually run into it but I have a soft timelimit for out of rules discussions anyway. Nothing really ironclad but...

Thanks for the replies. Looks like its pretty mixed. I will wait for a couple days or weeks before bringing it to the group. Excellent.
