If he said, "I'm no authority on RPGs, but this is something different from D&D or computer games and you might like it for that reason," I think that would go a long way toward contextualizing what he is doing. But when you are proposing a product and you demonstrate what seems to be a lack of general knowledge on your own target (both product and audience) it can be concerning. <br /><br />Personally, I'm turned off by the art and don't even need to read the text. Buuuut I'm shallow that way.

Simply for the sheer satisfaction of hitting a level up button about once per day of gaming. So, the game might not be terribly different from a lot of published RPGs, but that has nobody stopped from publishing (and funding) more games, including an endless deluge of OSR games that nobody here seems to have a problem with.<br /><br />So, what are "we" actually picking on here? That author is not "a known" and hence cannot count on "the community" which only sees it fit to make fun of people that try to publish an indie? Or that the author of that KS is maybe not a multi-decade jaded veteran of RPGing, and hence hasn't seen it all yet?<br /><br />But yes, let's troll a person who has done nothing wrong _at all_.DerKastellanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17108771318010984386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-90352221873171765262017-09-02T09:17:10.903-04:002017-09-02T09:17:10.903-04:00Isn't technically the whole OSR a return to th...Isn't technically the whole OSR a return to the fantasy heartbreaker? Most of them are technically "fixed" versions of D&D, like Blueholme is not identical to Holmes edition, but hews close to it, S&W is not, in any of its incarnations, a reissue of the LBB, but hews close to it, etc.DerKastellanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17108771318010984386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-14361091690390849682017-09-02T02:39:02.105-04:002017-09-02T02:39:02.105-04:00And the dreaded zero backed...And the dreaded zero backed...The Purple Sorcererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16845927851512112820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-43850770573528028062017-09-02T01:57:07.334-04:002017-09-02T01:57:07.334-04:00Return with us to the days of the fantasy heartbre...Return with us to the days of the fantasy heartbreaker!mythusmagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10458869083534878283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-81472644173325373052017-09-02T00:07:31.388-04:002017-09-02T00:07:31.388-04:00They might do better selling the t shirt and butto...They might do better selling the t shirt and buttons<br /><br />Why are there all these people that I have never heard of with kick starters?Scott Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12067161332003628237noreply@blogger.com
