Yeah. Actually having to do something or lose an in-fiction resource is a way more interesting and evocative mechanic.I am really starting to like the alternate legendary saves idea.
that’s inspired.
I will probably back this as I love monster books; however, I am a bit put-off by the funding goal of $600,000. IMO, the funding goal should be the break even goal and I have a hard time believing they need $600K to break even.
I’m not pushing anyone.I'm going to wait until it hits retail. $70 bucks for the cheapest physical tier plus shipping is a no go for me. Plus, from the description it sounds like the book is not anywhere close to done.

Paying people is breaking even. I never intended to suggest otherwise.I don't. Plus they need to do more than "break even," they need/want/should make sure those involved are paid well for their effort.
It has been a while, but I ran a KickStarter several years ago and at the time they explicitly said the funding goal should be the bare minimum to get the project made. So that is where my stance originates.Furthermore, KS and similar sites are for raising the money for fairly niche things by individuals and companies would not be able to make without the money upfront because they don't have the capital and infrastructure that a company like WotC has.
