We get updates only when we badger Jaime for them. Two "final release dates" have been blown.

This intrigued me, so when pre-orders happened, I pre-ordered it. In August 2011. It was due out in November at the time.<br /><br />They scrapped the 4e idea when Wizards announced <i>D&DNext</i> and just decided to do the whole project over again.<br /><br />So there's that.S.

They did a big hardcover book last decade, and before that they did a crappy little pamphlet version under the Fast Forward Entertainment label, and before that wasn't it an Amazing Engine setting for a bit, and... <br /><br />The real kicker is that all you need to play Metamorphosis Alpha, really, is a copy of Gamma World or Mutant Future.

Then there were more excuses (traveling the con circuit, caught con crud, everyone at the office was ill as well). He's apologized more than once for lack of updates and promised he'd update more often. But each promise he's made, he's broken. Final straw is finding out the project's been "officially" pushed back to Q1 2013, but this info was released on his personal blog and on a video he filmed at a convention. This info has NOT been posted to the official KS page and the 400+ backers remain in the dark unless they go looking for info elsewhere. Way to piss off folks who supported the company, the creator, and the project. I daresay goodwill toward future Signalfire projects will be in short supply.Tim Sniderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17390608104314125626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-20590771425012192552012-11-29T07:05:30.906-05:002012-11-29T07:05:30.906-05:00Hmm.
