Pledge money and Colin McComb will say sorry for writing the Complete Book of Elves

Isn't that the best stretch goal for a video game ever? I mean, as a roleplayer, you were going to kickstart Torment: Tales of Numenera anyway, right? Being in the spirit of Planescape:Torment, using Monte Cook's setting (who is writing for the game, btw, if the next stretch goal is reached).

But if we reach 2.5 million, Colin McComb will make a video saying sorry for his elf fetish once and for all:

So, pledge away.

I've had a quick squizz at that book, but I guess I'm an outsider What was wrong with it? Was it all this hate I've read about for the spelldancer?

The text was written in character by an elven supremacist. And the mechanics brought the text to life, in the sense that if you used the options provided, elves would be far and away better than any other race. Though, as others will no doubt gleefully point out, the imbalance in this book pales next to the caster/fighter imbalance we saw in third edition.

2E was a long time ago, and no one's really upset about this book any more: mostly this reward level is just an in-joke for those who played in the 90's. Which makes this goal a pretty telling statement about the kickstarter's target demographic. But I can vouch for its effectiveness--it convinced me to pledge now instead of wait for the game to come out.
