Anything you can do, Neil Gaiman can do better.
Couldn't you still use Charles Barkley's name and just do like South Park does and just say "It's not that person, it's just a coincidence?" I'm not a lawyer, so I have no clue if this is actually true, and maybe South Park just has enough lawyers to make anything work.

Although saying that it's not the real Charles Barkley that may compromise that the game is canon, which we cannot risk.

So, will there be a way to just buy the vidcon pack if you're not able to donate for the goal to get it?

I'm wondering this as well. I can't manage to pony up $60 for the kickstarter, but I'd gladly put down $15 to buy the vidcon pack separately.

The vidcon pack is going to come out pretty soon after the Kickstarter is over. We're working on a launcher for it now and it's looking pretty polished. The only thing that might hold it back is that we keep adding games to it, but expect it very soon after the Kickstarter is done.

How many games are in it so far?

This was posted on the kickstarter a few days ago. Can anyone translate?

The closest acceptable translation is
"die properly"
"I walk the line between Heaven and Hell, life and death. I have no love or joy. With nothing, I am empty. So come with me, young one. Together... let us face the darkness."

Dollars to doughnuts it's a quote from some RPG, but my mind is drawing a blank.

"I didn't see the part where he develops as a character so I guess he never developed as a character"
A quick search on google yields nothing, though apparently someone has already tried running it through babelfish.

I "Blue Duergar" supposed to be like "Blue Dragon," that JRPG I only know of because it's where Vinceborg's fight music came from("Eternity" aka "jesus christ the guy from deep purple sang this")?



edit: For some reason I just remembered that in Van Helsing, the absolutely how-the-gently caress-was-this-in-theaters-and-not-just-a-made-for-TV-movie-on-ScyFy abysmal 2004 movie, duergar were Dracula's henchmen. Though I think they just looked like midgets in full face enclosing steampunk gas masks or something and didn't talk or do much of anything except help Dracula with his mad science and get crossbowed to death by Van Helsing.

I'm choosing to interpret this as canonical; Dracula's are tonally very powerful.

Okay fine. I guess that movie can qualify as so terrible it has to be canon. Like, in the setting silver, wood steaks, and holy water hurt vampires as is usual, but they can't kill Dracula because he's too strong. No, Dracula's one weakness is....

A werewolf.

It's not like he's allergic to the hair or blood or something, he just can only die if he's beaten in a fight by a werewolf. If anyone else tried to do it he'd just get up.

Oh okay so he was Werewolf Archangel Gabriel at the end. All I remember about the ending was the girl dies and he gets all sad and sails out towards the open ocean alone in a tiny rowboat for some reason.

In for :10bux: - but as many have also mentioned, this looming pants goal frightens me to my core. As a DOOM-MURDERHEAD and as a b-baller wise beyond my years I know the loins-constricting effects of pants can be destructive to the b-ball energies. Behind every epic slam and daring jam, has been the principle of loin freedom which is why I petition the goal be reconsidered to wearing Regulation NBA shorts

It's the fictive translation of a fictional long-Japanese-only quest. It'll probably have a different vibe and some small untranslated parts, like you've fallen off the edge of the game and into Japan.

Fictive? Please; Buruu Derugaru is canon; it was simply hard for those whose psyches have been damaged by the gutter-talk of eigo to properly render, and they chose to refrain from presenting an incomplete product.
