[QUOTE="humble minion, post: 9130619, member: 5948"] It sounds a little like the D&D Shorts guy is mostly just the face of the project. He's listed almost last in the credits and his credit text is is described as : It sounds like the lion's share of the works is being done by others. There is a primary loremaster credited there, several different writers, a couple of monster/encounter balance people, project managers, artists etc many of whom are Loot Tavern's people. Which of course makes it a bit odd that it's his name on the KS campaign rather than Loot Tavern's. I backed this, but i'm somewhat having second thoughts. I hadn't made the connection between this campaign and that guy who was bignoting himself all over youtube during the OGL crisis, but also it seems like this is going to be a very heavily mechanical product, rather than a setting. Given my usage pattens of past edition D&D products and my already-overloaded list of Kickstarters pending delivery, I've instituted a firm policy for myself of only impulse buying stuff that's setting- and background and in-world-heavy, because inspirational material is much so more likely to hold its usefulness past the next edition change (whenever that might be) than books packed full of crunch that's tightly coupled to a particular edition.
