[QUOTE="LWDLiz, post: 7655821, member: 6748808"] That’s not our interpretation. If we had failed to respond and clarify the misunderstanding quickly, I believe both companies would have been worse off. As we’ve all seen over the years, simple misunderstandings can spread like wildfire across the internet and quickly become construed as “fact”. We were in an untenable position, faced with the choice of either posting in their Kickstarter comments or risking an incorrect interpretation being both repeated across the internet and potentially used against Trapdoor with regards to 5E support. We felt that clarifying on the Kickstarter in a minimal manner was the best course of action for everyone involved, including Trapdoor. To provide context for everyone here, below is the original comment made on the Kickstarter and the one response made to clarify things. Hopefully this will allow everyone to make to their own judgment on the subject.
