Message: <blockquote data-quote="Matthan" data-source="post: 6765371" data-attributes="member: 20005">I want to repeat that I understand my response is both irrational and disproportionate on this.  I completely understand that there are financial and logistical reasons outside of the customer's purview that dictate these choices.  I also know that you're in a difficult spot at the moment.  You've scoped out the project for S+W and Pathfinder and set your budget for the Kickstarter.  You can't simply add in 5E as an option to the existing KS because it would throw off your budget.  If you add it in as a Stretch Goal, the backers that get you to that stretch goal could rightly argue that they would prefer their funds go to making their own product better than creating a product they didn't initially agree to back.  If you do a followup KS for a 5E Blight, you'll miss out on being able to use any funds that the 5E KS brings in to impact the overall work (For instance, if the 5E KS wildly overfunded to be able to make it a full-color product, you wouldn't be able to pass that back to the S+W and Pathfinder versions leaving you with a product that is markedly different between versions).I'm not a publisher and I don't envy your position.  If it's helpful, the positive spin on this is that you have people that want your products.  I do want the KS to be wildly successful.  When Bard's Gate rolls around for 5E, I'll back it on the first day.  If you figure out a strategy for 5E Blight, I'll be there too.</blockquote>
