[QUOTE="icedrake, post: 7808613, member: 9238"] As someone who's playing in a game of Invisible Sun right now, it's not the cost for our group that's offputting. It's everything else associated with MCG and the game system itself that's been disappointing. The game system has a ton of subsystems, and the rules arent always consistent or coherent. The rules themselves are spread over three books, rather than consolidated. It makes trying to track what's going on with your character confusing and annoying. Until a couple of months ago, MCG did not have pdf copies of all the rule books available for purchase, you had to review physical copies of the books. This has been changed, but it took a long time for them to do it when it should have been there at release. MCG has multiple kickstarter projects being worked on concurrently, from invisible sun, to Numenera to the 5e Numenera project, in various states of fulfillment. With so much going on, delivery of the IS supplements has been delayed. Edit - on top of the product delays, MCG support takes weeks or months to answer inquiries made by my GM on when he will get his kickstarter rewards or the next stage of the directed campaign. I really think MCG is biting off more than it can handle as a company. I'm hateplaying this game for the sake of my group, and look forward to when we move on to another game setting / system.
