[QUOTE="kevin_video, post: 8218701, member: 85066"] To date, Gary has supported 661 projects (we don't know to what degree), but nothing has come of the projects. We know the artist was fully paid, which we learned was a solid chunk of the money. It's suggested that all the art cost the 40k, but I don't think so. I haven't seen all the art, but I did the math, and know how much detailed, coloured commissions can get to be. However, Kickstarter takes a percentage, so Gary didn't have $40k to start with. It's also been learned that Fire Mountain Games dissolved payments to its web host back in 2014. The site was on life support until it disappeared. The best resource I can you is my accumulated links that I put on a Google document, including a link to the "world map", and to my Tumblr where I did a series of posts with art I found and builds I theorized. I also posted all the art I found to my Pinterest page (also linked in the resource page). [URL='https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XkzZL06pJo0cJEx_MUchhET0-jddQB-aoQp6WebWtjE/edit?usp=sharing']Resource Link Page[/URL] Everyone has given up on the AP, including myself, and as such, last May it was given a (semi-official) [URL='https://endzeitgeist.com/a-brief-obituary-for-throne-of-night/']obituary[/URL]. (Don't forget to leave a comment there.) As for anyone having heard from him, that's a big no. I've had people reach out to me in hopes that I was in contact with him, but that's not the case. Even old friends of his are no longer able to get a hold of him in any way, shape, or form, and these are people saying they've known each other for decades. Apparently he moved, and just didn't keep in touch. He's not involved with any projects that we're aware of. At least not using his real name. If he is, it's likely it's 5e based as he's been supporting a lot of 5e projects. As for Throne of Night, a game company was looking to buy the rights to the AP and everything under Fire Mountain Games, complete it, and release everything promised. That was last year. I don't know what came of it. I'm still linked to this thread and my blog via email, and I check the Paizo forum from time to time, as well as the KS page. I'm always around to answer any questions I can, and inform where possible. [/QUOTE]
