[QUOTE="Libertad, post: 8486944, member: 6750502"] Just looking at this one, I am unsure of what new content they're delivering that merits a second crowdfund. As for what's been delivered to backers... The 5e PDF is the most recent version, meaning that a lot of stuff from the 2nd version is missing. The prior versions of Legacy of Mana were in Dropbox links which have since expired. There was a tie-in digital novel, Hope's Ordeal, also promised to backers on all tiers. That product is being sold Amazon but hasn't been given to backers. I asked for a copy several times but haven't been given a copy or a coupon for it. This is a pretty accurate summary of the overall communication problems with Norse Foundry and Lynnvander; me and other backers asking or inquiring about something and not receiving an answer. Or the answer came weeks or months later. The common explanation given being that the project manager/author was in Estonia at the time.

The higher tier choices for physical books and adventures do not exist. I cannot comment on custom dice sets because I never backed for those and that tier's backers are very few.
