[QUOTE="Hollow Man, post: 7655186, member: 6787027"] They've stated in interviews that they and WotC had a different "vision" of what the product was to be. At least to start, WotC wanted to emphasize character building, whereas Trapdoor was concentrating on the content management aspects of the software, and because they couldn't find common ground, WotC pulled out. I've stated (more than) a few times around here that it has to be more than this, because I can't imagine that a contract was signed between the two parties where it wasn't explicitly stated exactly what Trapdoor was to deliver. It all points to bad project management, which is the all encompassing thing that prevents me from considering giving them any money up front. I don't see any evidence, especially based on the fact that they haven't scaled the project back one bit for the Kickstarter campaign, that Trapdoor has gotten any better at it. And without someone closely monitoring this, even if Trapdoor manages to astound me by raising enough money, I have little faith that they'll be able to deliver a product that is anything like what they promise. But hey, in the end I like nice things too, so I hope they prove me wrong. -HM [/QUOTE]
