Hate to be *that* guy, and bring out the Stewie Griffin part of my personality, but it would be disingenuous not to address it:
MRH doing another Kickstarter, really? That's the plan? Because fans were so pleased with the last one he did? Because the last one got so much positive attention by nearly all related media? Because when people talked about trashing and burning his prior books and games, they surely meant, ¨for celebration¨?! :wink:
I am joking, of course, and I am also aware that it's usually not the designer's, but the manufacturer's fault when there are delays in crowdfunded production. And I will go on record again, any time, and state that MRH is one of the greatest living game designers, even over personal favorites of mine, like Roger Moore, Greg Stafford, or Robert Schwalb. BUT let's face it, his credit with his audiences and with his readership is likely very damaged in this particular regard.
I sincerely hope MRH and his team overthink their strategy for financiation, because I very much want to see this project become a reality. But I am not being overly negative when I say, as a crowdfunding project, the chances seem pretty narrow as of right now.
