Gary Gygax's The Hermit kickstarter is almost over!

[DarkCrisis]

Remember when they said there would be a Shadowdark version and it likely boosted sales, still waiting. I mentioned this on the KS page and got a "It's being worked on". Didn't know it takes months to convert. Hope they got enough funds to cover all that work.

A Shadowdark conversion should be relatively quick, even with a full-sized module. I would guess work on the conversion hasn't actually started.

I was being sarcastic. At this point Im betting they just dont give a naughty word

I think better of the Troll Lords than that. But they are not organizational geniuses, to put it mildly.

TLG has 18 books in development across 4 crowdfunding campaigns (Codex Infernum, Codex Exaltum, Adventurers Armory, Monstrous Armory, War Mounts, Living Fantasy, Essential Facts and Things, The Canting Crew, Weyland Smith Catalog, Pantheons, Extraordinary Book of Names, Guide to Adventure Writing, Essential Places, Nation Builder, Cosmos Builder, CZ 1: The Citadel, CZ 2: The Ruins, CZ 3: The Cellars.) They're a small, family-based organization, and I'm afraid they've bitten off more than they can chew.

I've backed about 1/3rd of those books. I'm certainly not going to back anything else until I get something delivered. To exacerbate the situation, I have no desire to follow C&C into the "Reforged" territory.

A month later and still not even a word. So that’s 2 products of theirs that I am disappointed in due to an oversight No more money from me

Shadowdark version is out. It's actually a fully printable book. Not just Conversion Notes for use with the core book.

One of the maps is missing a # on it and another map is missing all the #s.

Honestly at this point, I'd be shocked if Troll Lords didn't forget something.


BTW Im reading the adventure and at the start it says you are dropped off at the North of the map. No real other direction? Just in the middle? Then is says the Hut you are looking for is within 5 Miles. Well not according to the map. And if you are placed within 5 Miles of the hut you pretty much know you are near the Hut so no real need to search for it all over the rest of the map. Especially when each Hex is 1 Mile so covering terrain isn't to bad.

IDK if Im just reading it wrong or it's sloppy and needed some better editing. Which in my experience with TL's products wouldn't be surprising.

Sloppy editing is definitely the way to bet.

From the bottom of my heart, I love the Trolls, but they absolutely are the worst when it comes to editing.

I thought they were going to put more effort in this front once they started reprinting everything for Reforged, but doesn't seem like it unfortunately.
