They definitely are overblown. In my 48 years of life, I have seen U.S. culture swing back and forth over simple nudity, depictions of sex, etc. (in all forms of media). The gaming community as a whole has been on the conservative side for a number of years now. I look forward to when it...

We've been down that road a lot of times in the past 4 decades. Nothing in Hollywood is a sure thing until the movie actually gets made and marketed.

Nudity is just nudity. It's not a big deal, in real life or in games. Nudity isn't inherently sexual or pornographic.

Realm Works has a steep learning curve, and has yet to deliver on many key features that they promised early on. The ongoing development moves at a snail's pace. It showed great promise, but is very far from being worth it, monetarily or otherwise. I definitely regret the purchase.

I will be very surprised if they get another D&D movie off the ground, and even more surprised if they do a good job with it.

It wouldn't seem out of bounds to me if we were talking about an MMO or a large scale video game of some kind. For the type of product they were describing, though, I just can't see it costing that much, particularly since they had already done a lot of development work when they were teamed up...

"That's not Trapdoor Tech's fault and the backlash from the RPG community has been well... not so embracing.." Trapdoor has made some very arrogant posts and they set their KickStarter goal about ten times higher than it should have been. I would have been very surprised if the RPG community...

"To be honest, what I find more disturbing is how the community mob turned against them - this thread being a case in point." Their arrogance is what did them in (coupled with the ridiculous Kickstarter goal). PR is a big part of business, and they are terrible at it.

In the end, they simply placed far too high a monetary goal on the project. I did a little back-and-forth with the developers (on another forum) and (based on my experience as a programmer) I really don't think they needed that much money to complete the project. I think they were trying to...

I have to agree with one of the responses on the YouTube video. I really wonder how much of this $425,000 comes from an attempt to recoup losses from the failed WotC deal.

In both of those, the gist of the horror element was the corruption of innocence. The flipside of that would be the innocence of evil. For examples of that, look to "It's a GOOD Life" from the original Twilight Zone series or the devil sequence in "The Adventures of Mark Twain" (check YouTube...

I always look at that, because it tells you how realistic the developers are.

A lot of people feel that way about Realm Works. Lots of promises, poor delivery. These days I don't even think about supporting Kickstarter projects that aren't already essentially completed. I've been burned one too many times.

Yep, exactly. There are a lot of people who play rpgs who aren't particularly fond of using electronics at the table. Of those who like it, though, only a certain number are going to have tablets. Of those with tablets who like the idea, it is going to have to be priced low enough for them to...

As someone on the Paizo forums said, it's like a Shark Tank episode - great idea, ridiculous valuation.

I haven't used alignment to any great extent since I first started playing rpgs in the late 70s.

They're asking for far, far too much. It will never make it.

Morrus - How do you define "dark?" What movies have you seen that you would consider to be really "dark?"

Way, way too expensive for my taste (and too limited in general). I can pump one of these out on my 3D printer and then smooth the striations down chemically for a fraction of that price, and have as many options as I want. Even if I didn't have that capability, there is no way I would pay...
