Imagine if the Bobs had laid out the book in 2015 instead of writing new material?<br /><br />We'll see if a lack of communication becomes a third serious mistake.Tom Cleavelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06004357032010597424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-63889169850416653612016-11-22T11:29:18.547-05:002016-11-22T11:29:18.547-05:00That is one BIG map, Rob.

Its obviously a "when we get around to it" kind of priority, except when it comes to the minis and the maps getting done. So I pretty much blame Bob Bledsoe for what should have been such a great positive experience being a great big worry.Treeborehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17100039424041589240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-40266978356252613682016-11-22T10:24:18.702-05:002016-11-22T10:24:18.702-05:00The sooner I get errata the sooner I can get my en...The sooner I get errata the sooner I can get my end done. Also note that I drew the entire wilderlands as one giant 5 foot by 8 foot map. Then I crop out the 18 individual maps.

These guys had some health issues that surprised them as well I believe. I'm hopeful because I already have PDFs of many maps and because of that I know work is actually getting done.EN429https://www.blogger.com/profile/11842954567203889362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-32749560740627266972016-11-22T03:53:57.987-05:002016-11-22T03:53:57.987-05:00If I were in running a crowdfunding site, I would ...If I were in running a crowdfunding site, I would consider it a Pretty Neat Idea to have some sort of crowdfunding simulator that could show the effects of stretch goals on the bottom line. Your cost assumptions could still be wrong, but at least you'd have some. A lot of folks that do this stuff have absolutely zero business or finance background, so it's very easy for creators to get caught flat-footed. It might also inhibit the "death-by-success" thing if there was an option for a cap of some kind. That way you could write a proposal along the lines of "I need $50,000 to make 500 copies of my dream game." Known cost, known quantity talking to printers, nothing happens without the required funds.

It had fantasy heart breaker written all over it. I raised my concern while the KS was still running but got howled down. What can go wrong I was told... all the words have been written for decades.
