[QUOTE="Skywalker, post: 8368850, member: 1538"] Though Avatar Legends is not going to challenge D&D, this comparison is a little disingenuous. Backers do not equal total players. Backers are a small subset of total players. Though WotC hasn’t done a D&D KS, we do know that no D&D KS has had half the backers that Avatar Legends has achieved in its first week. Also, Avatar Legends has 35k backers to date after 7 days. It has 25 or so days left to go. I am not sure what the final total will be but we could be looking at 70-100k if it continues as it looks like it is going to. That’s significant, right? Plus 20% of those are new to KS, which suggests that there may be a decent chunk of new RPGers in there too. Despite it being an existing IP, the RPG is brand new, or at least relatively new if you factor in Masks as it’s predecessor. It hasn’t the years to build a fanbase that D&D has had. This KS really is a phenomenon. I am sure almost everyone in the RPG industry is watching the KS with interest. It has put Magpie and Avatar Legends on the map in a way that is going to cause ripples for the hobby going forward. [/QUOTE]
