[QUOTE="overgeeked, post: 9366773, member: 86653"] No. A fantasy heartbreaker is when someone who plays D&D decides they don't like enough about the current edition of D&D and makes their own D&D. Clearly he has the audience to pull off the Kickstarter funding. But every other D&D referee tries to make a fantasy heartbreaker at some point. That's one source of the "heartbreaker" part. Wishing and dreaming. Maybe he should finish designing the game before hoping (out loud) that it'll be on par, audience-wise, with a game designed by a team of people who mostly have more years of design experience than DC has years on the planet. Yeah, it already made funding. It did so almost instantly. But that's the point of intentionally low-balling your funding benchmark. Whether it's played or not is another question. Played long term is another. Whether it lasts or is another drop in the bucket with all the other not-D&D but totally D&D games flooding the market. Black Flag...or whatever they're calling it now. Daggerheart. A5E. MCDM RPG. C7d20. Pathfinder. Of those, the design space DC20 seems to want to push into is already covered by Black Flag, A5E, and Pathfinder 2E. It will also be covered by MCDM RPG. Daggerheart is going lighter with more dramatic focus compared to heavier and (mostly) more tactical focus of all of those listed in the last sentence. That leaves C7d20, or whatever they're calling it, as the only other one that might go lighter. [/QUOTE]
