[QUOTE="noodohs, post: 8520647, member: 7033037"] And I don't just mean the obvious, which is to give us cool new options every month. What I mean is, is it supposed to be sort of like Unearthed Arcana where we get some mostly finished new material every month that will eventually be collected into proper sourcebooks or are they intended to be the "only" release of the things that are in them? Furthermore, are they going to be part of the SRD and eventually added to the web tools and VTT integrations? In the first case: [LIST] [*]We are essentially paying for playtest content. I don't necessarily have a problem with that, you guys aren't a big company like Hasbro and need some income, but on the other hand... [*]When the things are eventually added to sourcebooks, we have to pay for them a second time. Maybe patrons could get a discount? [*]This implies that the material in the Gazettes will eventually be revised after additional playtesting/feedback. I like that because it gives a much longer period of time to really work out the details and address issues. [/LIST] In the second case: [LIST] [*]We are paying a very reasonable price for new, finished content. [*]However, the content is released every month and that's really not enough time, in my opinion, to develop, playtest, revise, playtest again, and finalize new content, especially things like whole classes. I worry that the content will feel rushed and unfinished and the monthly release schedule may not leave time for the team to revise things after release. [*]If it's not collected into sourcebooks, there are now a lot of PDFs and/or mini books to sort through to find things. [/LIST] So before I decide to back or not, I'm just curious what the intended purpose is and what I should really expect from them going forward. [/QUOTE]
