Not the product, the site selling the product. <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">First the name: Why is this not called numenera 3rd edition or something? The name make it sound like an expansion. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Then the peoduct is confusing as hell. Yes in the top description its written its a new edition, but when you scroll down and see "what you get" its a "setting book". If I dont know Numenera already why should I get a setting book?! Amd when you scroll down further you may think that the actual game is just in the pdfs and only the setting (and a lore book) is new. Like I know Numenera, and passively know that its an implementation of cipher, but I got still confused by it and thought this is just selling a new setting and lore book, the 2 things I care least about. Name it "Numenera 3rd edition core book".</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Like even the pledge is as bad "Setting only" is the cheapest tier called. Again why would someone new to numenera buy a setting?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Then the site is clearly not optimized for mobile. Lots of tiny images of books I cant see. Even the main image is not 1 key image, like in the cozy one, but is a far away image of heroes + 3 tiny books. I can barely recognize the humans on the image where in this cozy rpg I can count the toes of the little witch.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">In general it looks like this site was made for wide screen where the cozy one is for horizontal with full size images. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Like the biggest image uses maybe 1/4th of my screen, where in the cozy one some images use like 80% of my screen showing close up images, where the smaller ones of numenera are also zoomed out. Showing lots of background etc. Instead od highlighting specific things, like just the monster or a single hero etc. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">And then the even tinier images of the pdf/books you get. Wow its cool its 15 books or whatever but I cant see a single one...</li> </ul>I am pretty sure numenera gets almost no new people buying the product. Only old superfans, which also shows in the huge pledge per buyer. No one will buy it for the art, because one cant even see the art. I am 100% sure that numenera would get way more people to buy it if the backerkit site would have been made by the people behind pumpkin spice. This is really just a marketing issue. Old person knowing numenera by heart makes a website on pc only and never test it with potential target audience.</blockquote>
