Can we get back to what is Brutal about the Escapist's SCAG Review? I found it, at most, Diet Brutal....maybe 1 calorie Brutal. If you want Total Brutal, you should get this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v66sQ3S6vS0

Jer, i have just been unhappy with the chronic rehash of material, the release of al the 20th anniversary, then the announcement of 4th Edition recently. For example, minds Eye Theater totally reworked VtM for LARPs. This was a small company that, to me, really revitalized and showed what COULD...

I'm in the same boat...did the rating of Brutal get diminished? This review isn't brutal in the least. Brutal might have looked something like this: Ok, why didnt this include a fold-out poster map, or at th bare minimum have the map laid out over 2 pages? for Christ's sake, I am going to have...

I'd prefer Paradox to offer the license to some other companies besides OPP. I'd love to see what Margaret Weiss Productions could do with this, or Pinnacle, or Pelgrane Press, Kobold Press, or better yet; just hand the whole damn thing to Ari Marmell and let him put an all-star team together.

I'm with you for very similar reasons. It's also why when at Gencon, I couldn't stomach the Paradigm Concepts rpg named Witch Hunter (The Invisible World). I know they were going for this "You're in the 17th Century hunting down monsters, etc", but the name is just insensitive. Case and point...

Oh, and if you could get Shane Tyree for the art, that would be great....

Ari Marmell would make this project winning!

The possibilities are looking better and better!

See if you can get: Dreamscarred Press Legendary Games Kobold Press

Thanks. I am curious about this project. I'll keep an eye out for it, and thanks for answering my questions.

Yes, that sounds a lot more interesting! Can you reveal more specifics like: 1a. Is this in the standard Pathfinder setting (high fantasy/Golarion) or is it one of those where it is using Pathfinder to emulate modern superheroes (hence Earth setting)? 1b. If it emulates Modern Supers, how does...

unless....the Fantastic Four stop Galactus??? unless...Bruce Willis goes into space to break up an asteroid while listening to Aerosmith? unless...Earth is considered an extra charge at the All-You-Can-Eat Planetary buffet? unless... The World Eater is counting carbs? Seriously, some more info...

I'm with dd.stevenson on this On a lighter note, we also need to get these translated for the Canadians too, eh? :)

As for the trade-off for high-quality art for game innovation, for me that is a hard balance. I know not every piece of art can be a Wayne A. Reynolds masterpiece, but for me it HAS to hit some minimum threshold. If you are just selling me a laid-out Word document, I'm probably not buying. The...

I would endorse MCG as well. I feel good with Dwarven Forge and Reaper, but at the same time I expect that from worldwide companies. Two Companies in that second tier (that you will get great quality, but you will probably have to wait beyond estimated delivery) would be Studio 2...

Vicente, That's great info as well, I'd love to know who has a great reputation as well, especially over several kickstarters.

Roger, Being a backer establishes a contract. It is not necessarily that a project fails (that sucks), but that Project Creators who fail often seem to not follow ANY of the guidelines about transparency or attempt to fix the situation (see below). I have, on the other hand, seen projects be...

That is the one aspect that is at least encouraging, that with the internet, you can kind of warn people away from projects where backers are not treated properly. I'm glad when people do this. I looked at a few projects recently in terms of the KS items soon becoming available at retail, but if...

Same thing with Space 1889 (Angus Abranson/Chronicle City) wasnt doing anything, so Cublicle stepped in (German publisher) and things have been working out. Cubicle has been respectful and transparent. Other companies like Conquistador Games who did the "Best Damn Metal Gaming Coins Ever!"...

I agree with Koloth for the most part. For me, when a project is in that grey area, I get unnerved a bit. By grey area I mean they didnt just take off on a Carribbean Cruise, but did SOME work on the project, then decided "f*ck it" and dont finish. Sometimes this comes out in a stream of sob...
