I think the issue of 'drowning in stretch goals' falling victim to my own succuss is totally a valid concern. I discussed this very issue on my recent legends of tabletop interview as well as my recent 'production schedule' project update. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have and thanks again for your interest in the project.JMPerkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11044958368295934969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-23184694092904011782016-10-03T00:08:04.281-04:002016-10-03T00:08:04.281-04:00The real worry is that they've only written mo...The real worry is that they've only written most of the "descriptive text."

To many and too generous of stretch goals may seem appealing but are a great way to ensure that you are going to be working massive overtime to make sure you fulfill everything and will most likely end up having to eat extra costs. Not insurmountable, but definitely a harder climb.Christopher Caporalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16506094050838273437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-11056736050086940982016-10-02T10:02:02.423-04:002016-10-02T10:02:02.423-04:00So when Tarrasque gets fed up with being "but...So when Tarrasque gets fed up with being "butchered" do you get to fight him in a giant Pacific Rim styled Iron Golem?David Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05099859123134583389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-43305535421113497672016-10-02T09:59:14.467-04:002016-10-02T09:59:14.467-04:00The Tarrasque is OGL.

It sounds pretty obviously based on it, and I wonder if he got permission of the contributors to use what they wrote. On the other hand, it needs serious refining and editing to be useable and there are plenty of ways he could change it to make it distinct.Canageekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03770924810559440307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-48620130244994657762016-10-02T09:38:52.889-04:002016-10-02T09:38:52.889-04:00I apologize for being too lazy to find a link, but...I apologize for being too lazy to find a link, but RPGnet had a long and pretty cool thread from many years ago playing with the same concept.
