[QUOTE="Nergal Pendragon, post: 7656218, member: 6777649"] Overall, I have several reasons I won't fund this kickstarter. 1) Kickstarter- I've seen too many failed projects on it, so I will only fund ones from people I know will come through. If Pinnacle Entertainment, ENWorld, Beamdog, or Monte Cook made a kickstarter to ask for money to develop a game, I wouldn't hesitate; these are people who have proven, time and again, that they know what they are doing. Even if that kickstarter were a game about pigtossing, I'd still fund it just to see what they'd come up with. If Paizo formed one, I'd be a bit iffy; what I've seen of their MMO has left me questioning if they have any common sense related to MMOs at all (world-wide PVP reminds me way too much of Runescape and Eve Online, which I suspect will ultimately sink the MMO once the final version is released), and the majority of their successful projects seem to be the ones they fund themselves. If WotC formed one, I would tell them in no uncertain terms where they could put their request. They did extremely well with 5E, and their tools in the past showed some promise, but at the end of the day these people are simply not reliable. This kickstarter is by people that failed by WotC's standards. 2) Their wording... there is a massive usage of buzzwords and marketing hype without actually demonstrating, well, anything. This comes across as a scam. 3) Their product: I tried the 5e Alpha they released. To say it did not impress would be an understatement. Ultimately, I do not trust these people, and they've given me plenty of reason not to trust them. And I feel sorry for the suckers that fell for it and have pledged. [/QUOTE]
