[QUOTE="Hollow Man, post: 7654859, member: 6787027"] I simply think that Trapdoor is grossly overestimating the amount of money the community is willing to spend on a project like this. After all, tabletop RPGs are not as popular as video games, and it's those projects, done by AAA studios, that are the most likely to see this kind of cash donated. Trapdoor: why did you not make the iOS version version your goal, and add web and Android versions as stretch goals? That version is clearly where your expertise is, and the money needed to develop it would be so much less than what the community is willing to spend to fund everything. I also think it would've been prudent to have stretch goals for each of the modules. This way it would be much more likely to have some small success, and perhaps revisit the Kickstarter if all goals weren't met the first time. It's unfortunate that all your initial money has been spent on a deal that fell apart, but to expect that the community is willing to take on all of the burden, funding for a rule set that they can use for free, is a goal that's most likely unattainable. Please consider this, because I think you're more likely to have a successful campaign if you relaunch with much a much smaller scope. -HM [/QUOTE]
