[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 7779646, member: 6796661"] I guess I'm spoiled by Kobold Press and Frog God Games Kickstarters. I just do not see the value here and the risk seems high given their track record. If it ever makes it to my FLGS shelves, I'll take a look at it, but I'm going to pass on backing the crowdfunding effort. [B]EDIT[/B] I'm going to retract what I wrote above. For two large hard-cover books, plus the PDFs, it is not a bad deal. Also, by buying the PDFs, I if these become available in Fantasy Grounds or RealmWorks, I could get those version with the PDF cost discounted--though I'm not sure how that works if I buy from crowdfunding, I'm guessing fulfillment will be from the Paizo online store. But I have some questions I'm hoping those of you familiar with Paizo products can help answer: Would the pathfinder stat blocks in the campaign setting and adventure books themselves, or would you need the Pathfinder beasteries? In other words, is the 5e Kingmaker Beastery an extra cost for 5e players or is it actually a deal, because Pathfinder players would need to own multiple PF beasteries? Having the monster and npc stats for 5e is all well in good, but what about skill checks and other mechanics that apply to the non-combat aspects of the game? How easy is it to determine appropriate DC values for picking locks, finding secret doors, etc.? I'm also concerned about whether they'll put on the work to make sure the npcs and monsters are balanced for 5e, so that the difficulty in 5e is comparable to what it would be in Pathfinder. [/QUOTE]
