[QUOTE="Olgar Shiverstone, post: 6015922, member: 5868"] Don't get me wrong -- my objection isn't to a new game, per se. I can certainly understand groups that like variety and switch it up. And I'm a Monte Cook fan; I generally trust his products and once had a significant campaign section built around [i]Banewarrens[/i]. My objection is that there's nothing in the Kickstarter page that explains what's new and novel about this offering [i]as a game[/i]. Sure, the basic concept might make a decent campaign setting, but it seems to have a lot in common with other campaign settings. So, without the presentation giving me details of how this product is novel, what's to cause me as an investor back this product? In comparison, I thought the blog post from Penny Arcade about how Gabe was experimenting with a card-based RPG did a great job of teasing new mechanics as well as a fantasy background. If the PA offering were a Kickstarter, comparing the two I'd be more likely to invest in it on the merits of the presentation. [/QUOTE]
