[QUOTE="Bagpuss, post: 8280551, member: 3987"] Then they should have mentioned that if it is part of the funding goal. If it is a stretch goal it also should have been mentioned there. All they have said is the final amount will decide if they license a system or write their own, with no indication of which systems they are after. If they are after a particular system surely they could have investigated how much that costs prior to the kickstarter and added it to the goal. If they are writing their own system I think they should have it a bit more developed before they go to a kickstarter. I'd be excited if we knew a bit more about it. At the moment there is no indication of who the antagonists might be, is it tied to one planet or are they spacefaring? What threats exist, how much of an influence is Islam on the culture considering the expedition was sponsored by Mansa Musa? What does "decolonizing" mean when they literally go and colonize another planet (heck they even rename it Musalia after their ruler)? Of course the expedition wouldn't be a colony in the traditional sense as it wouldn't be in contact with it's home empire, and since the setting seems to be set now or near future a thousand years after they arrived I guess they have integrated. Still for a "decolonized, none imperialist" setting, it seems to have a lot of the old tropes of traditional RPGs. Culture and Race seem tied together so Hyneanole are all scholars and lore masters, Musalian are all outsiders, Misajai are Healers and Law Keepers, though RPGs were getting away from that? So many unanswered questions that are sort of key to the setting. [/QUOTE]
