I believe they are legally required to..No real way to tell if they’re honest but most will say if they’re sponsored.

I was posting it tongue and cheek, not being serious lolA campaign setting for a version of D&D can't, by definition, be a Fantasy Heartbreaker.
Just to reiterate, a FH is a game designed to be a better version of D&D by people that do not know much about RPGs beyond D&D. DC20 seems to qualify, in addition to looking like a bit of a mess, system wise.
Treantmonk said he was offered an ad spot, but turned it down, since he doesn't do those. But he does have an affiliate link that does give him some kickback for people who pledge from there. Though it should be noted that he was already making videos on how much he liked what he was seeing six months ago.I haven't gotten a chance to watch any of the D&D tubers talk about it, but I saw that a lot of them are.. Has anyone watched some? Are they paid sponsor spots or are they just people genuinely stoked on this new system?
Huh. I always thought the heart broken was that of the creator when they realize that other people don't appreciate their Revolutionary New Game (which is just D&D but our elves have pointy eyes instead of ears).I'm surprised it's as big as it is.. I wasn't expecting half a million, and it still has weeks to go...
I always assumed heartbreakers were called as much because your heart broke for the creator, rather than the game itself.
I don't know, it seems to hit a lot of the original points in this article if you allow for 5E, rather than old school D&D, being the foundational document.If the "heartbreaker" part is because nobody cares about it, does that really apply when it earns a million on Kickstarter?
valid question, the original heartbreakers never made that kind of money, YT and KS are new territory. I’d say it still has all the hallmarks of a heartbreaker in its design, and if it fizzles out in a few years it still qualifies, but DungeonDude’s heart might not be as broken as he made a decent chunk of money off it, unlike the ones in the pastIf the "heartbreaker" part is because nobody cares about it, does that really apply when it earns a million on Kickstarter?
Luckily, it's not "heartbreaker" as a separate term. Or at least not anymore. While it was originally the two words, "Fantasy Heartbreaker" has become it's own term. Now it's "I can do D&D, but better!".If the "heartbreaker" part is because nobody cares about it, does that really apply when it earns a million on Kickstarter?
