[QUOTE="TheOneGargoyle, post: 8429140, member: 6924207"] Oh man.... I was so excited when I first heard about LU. More fully fleshed out systems, advanced char creation options, more crunch, smoother levelling experiences, this all sounds like my dream. I was so ready to back this thing, and couldn't wait till the kickstarter launched! But ... a combination of some unpleasant interactions, and more and more components of the game being released that seem changed in unnecessary and undesirable directions, I've been having more and more hesitancy and doubts. And yet others seem to be getting more and more excited about it. I'm liking less and less of what I see and they're liking more. Now this rewritten monk.
