Apparently some people are terrible at figuring out how long it takes to finish projects. In my business we call those people "ex-employees, non-rehirable" but in the interwebz we call them entrepreneurs on Kickstarter.

I went through a wave of nostalgia and threw money at a whole boatload of old school projects in a very short time. As with so many others, I ran the spectrum between good (Adventures Dark & Deep, Castles & Crusades, Shadows of Esteren, Ogre) to ugly (Myth & Magic, Mike Nystuls debacles, and several others)<br /><br />Unfortunately, I had not discovered the Tavern yet, or I might have given Jing a pass, but I was still on a wave of Kickstarter Madness and fell for this one. It hit the right combination of chords for me to fail my saving throw against fluff... so if and when I receive it, I will share my impressions.<br /> I expect that, as with most of the long delayed projects, the shine will have worn off completely by now, and I will find it to be meh...

So now that it's out, does it live up to the hype? Is it in league with Rappan Athuk? And while expanding to 300+ is a big increase, how does the content compare to The Slumbering Tsar Saga which ships with a reinforced bookshelf to hold all 950 pages.AEIOUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03614111224534919962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-76028877334484640402015-08-15T13:29:30.323-04:002015-08-15T13:29:30.323-04:00The depressing thing is that aside from a Gencon i...The depressing thing is that aside from a Gencon interview with the publisher I can't find any reviews of it.FritsKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05780266328510003563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-13108998583751224902015-08-15T11:24:20.772-04:002015-08-15T11:24:20.772-04:00A good lesson not to promise more than you can del...A good lesson not to promise more than you can deliver, that is why I give away my megadungeon for free one day at a time, one room at a time.Darnizhaanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12067874224412746414noreply@blogger.com
