I think the disconnect isn't so much that others cant understand what it is, its more that they are having a hard time connecting the dots as to why this is so revolutionary. I mean sure, it is a great idea on paper and would be very convenient to tie all this functionality together, and having a sort of app store environment for user generated content would be very cool, but ultimately, It just feels like another tool in the chest (at least to me). I used to get excited about these digital tools in the past, I remember when I first signed up for Obsidian Portal for example, but in the end, they always fall by the wayside for me. I always end up with my trusty books, pencil and paper in the end. Now I get that other groups may feel different about this and really value tools like this, but I don't think this can be seen as a universal truth for every gamer. You raised excellent points about the way they have managed the kickstarter and I think you are absolutely correct about that, but I also think that 2 major knocks against them are 1) some of us have already seen their work and how it progressed during the beta as dungeonscape, and it does not instill a lot of confidence. 2) their choice of language through this process, it has confused some, and in this case, whether or not they meant it this way (and I'm assuming not) it did carry an arrogant tone and that shuts down a lot of what they are trying to say when the intended user feels like they are being talked down to. They present a very binary notion of what supporting or not supporting this project says about you (the whole if you're not with us, you're against us thing). That's just my 2 cents. For the record though, I would like to see it successful as it is a cool product for those that want it, I just cant justify putting my money towards it myself at this time.</blockquote>
