We had it written up, beautiful maps, and plenty of room for expansion...and it'll never see the light of day.

Unless there were art assets or something in this deal that made it worthwhile, it seems like taking on a project sullied by Nystul's grifting is a bad idea.Doctor Futurityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02586371999646337047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-51116603867345008452013-06-26T23:43:02.564-04:002013-06-26T23:43:02.564-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Matthiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01692546909563451253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-92173261126773118452013-06-26T23:42:10.715-04:002013-06-26T23:42:10.715-04:00This bit: "When it became clear that the Cair...This bit: "When it became clear that the Cairn rights were available, I approached Mike about transferring the intellectual property -- the writing, artwork, and any future Cairn projects. He agreed, and we’ve negotiated a settlement."<br /><br />So...Mike takes money from the Kickstarters, blows it...then tries to scam more money via Indiegogo, get called out on it...THEN sells the incomplete game for additional money? I sure hope that isn't the case. If it, is this guy is nothing but a scam artist...but I think most people know that already...if Mike got one dime from Ross, he should return it to help offset shipping costs for the backers he already ripped off.Matthiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01692546909563451253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-21586960993024681322013-06-26T22:01:24.098-04:002013-06-26T22:01:24.098-04:00"At best, Mike is a foolish, incompetent, idi..."At best, Mike is a foolish, incompetent, idiot that should never be allowed near adult responsibilities again.

Still, they're a good lesson to really watch who I back.<br /><br />The world needs more Kevin Crawfords...maasenstodthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08901306527875471546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-75797132601753499772013-06-26T20:24:41.837-04:002013-06-26T20:24:41.837-04:00When the spell fits...

You alter...Hmm: for some reason this seems to fit:<br /><br />You alter an item’s aura so that it registers to detect spells (and spells with similar capabilities) as though it were nonmagical, or a magic item of a kind you specify, or the subject of a spell you specify.<br /><br />If the object bearing magic aura has identify cast on it or is similarly examined, the examiner recognizes that the aura is false and detects the object’s actual qualities if he succeeds on a Will save. Otherwise, he believes the aura and no amount of testing reveals what the true magic is.<br /><br />If the targeted item’s own aura is exceptionally powerful (if it is an artifact, for instance), magic aura doesn’t work.<br /><br />Note: A magic weapon, shield, or suit of armor must be a masterwork item, so a sword of average make, for example, looks suspicious if it has a magical aura.Moe Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09384519513376016560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-59303256401980172022013-06-26T19:52:15.553-04:002013-06-26T19:52:15.553-04:00Sounds like he'd have been better off just let...Sounds like he'd have been better off just letting Nystul's version of Cairn languish and start his own project without all the negative baggage.
