[QUOTE="mamba, post: 9000938, member: 7034611"] More versions than expected... stumbled across his Kickstarter for 3e, with a delivery scheduled for December 2013, apparently it did get delivered in July 2022 instead, slight delay there ;) Just reading the KS race examples makes me notice how awful and complex the design is, don't need to see more than that [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/917876657/republishing-the-world-of-synnibarr[/URL] I like the comment his post announcing the release got "Hello everyone. It has been a long time… 7 years in fact. We could have released this years ago. It would have been an inferior product that would have needed updates. I wouldn't. Not until it was good enough. I will not make apologies. A lesser man would have quit when faced with the adversities of their publisher dying and a second fire that took everything they owned. But I didn’t for two reasons. 1. My last edition of Synnibarr met with harsh criticism. So harsh, I nearly quit then. Until I realized: all that will be left of me of when I die, is this wonderful game. I'll not have this version reviled. To ensure this, we have taken the time and not listen to any argument or complaints about delivery. 2. In the past I have been forced to compromise each time I published, pushed for a convention or other such foolishness, and my life’s work suffered for lack of playtesting and editing. Nevermore… This time I did it my way and I took my time. This time, we did lots of playtesting and incorporated the feedback from the initial release. Thank you for all who supported the testing and provided criticism. You've helped make a better product." and then the reply "Wow I hope you didn’t injure yourself patting yourself on the back as much as you did" Can't make this stuff up [/QUOTE]
