Yeah, I saw a lot of people who were auto-backing based solely on Metzner's name.

Loomer posted:(For bonus irony points, I've done something slightly similar before, where I've had other players I know do 'NPC turns' once before each game session and once after showing broad attitudes and goals, for the active players to interact with. It's an interesting way of avoiding the pitfall of all the NPCs thinking like you, if you have that problem, but there's a lot of book keeping involved.) Blue-booking is a tried and true RPG technique.

Diehard Miniatures havee launched their latest Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/diehardminiatures/diehard-miniatures-undead-rising I can vouch that they can deliver, since I backed their last Kickstarter and was very pleased with the end results. Not personally super interested in getting Undead myself, but I might take the chance to grab one or two minis from their back catalogue I didn't get last time around.

Pandanaut posted:drat, 7th Continent went a little crazy on the optional buys. I read an FAQ and I guess all six of the $20 expansions were present in the first Kickstarter too. It's just that the three that they listed as a potential bundle were part of a higher tier, whereas the three they've rolled out one by one were strictly addons. If someone went all in last time this thing wouldn't actually be that expensive to round out this time. As someone who didn't back at all last time, though...

Sunset Over Water is in its last 36 hours, and I want the next stretch goal for more landscape cards. It's a lovely little game, and it's even cheap. https://emails.kickstarter.com/mpss/c/4AA/6TYCAA/t.2bl/mBlK4jKlQmaNgZnDYKTX5g/h2/to7L6kt7auI1KAyWZkfjgYcofwimWbRwxT93XEAO4rk-3D

Empyrea is turning out to be a gift that just keeps on giving. Over on Tenkar's Tavern, there's a new post that says basically, "Whoa, if you think a comment is out of line or infringing on your IP, maybe talk to me before making legal threats, okay?" It seems like this is referring to a now-deleted comment where the backers-only Empyrea update was copied. Which would mean that Frank Mentzer or someone on his team sent a legal nastygram to someone he's otherwise been friendly with. This is especially weird because up to this point, Tenkar has been downright gentle with Frank. I guess Mentzer's still mid-meltdown, and not at the end of it yet.

The fact that an "industry legend" is trying to release a setting "40 years in the making" whose main selling point seems to be that there's nothing unique about it is just depressing on a lot of levels. e: I don't mean "industry legend" ironically; I actually started with his version of Red Box Basic. But still, it really does feel like he's ignored the entire rest of the industry since TSR folded.

It is absolutely not a violation of copyright to post backers-only Kickstarter updates to internet forums and Frank Mentzer is a crazy old man out of touch with the state of the hobby.

That guy seems to have posted several reviews of MYFAROG supplements on Amazon.com (one of which is the "top critical review" of the product-- only 3/5 stars), along with a bunch of random non-racist (for SF/F) products under his real name. His G+ discloses a high degree of MYFAROG fanboyism, slightly less Conan fandom, and no overt fascist sympathies otherwise. I seriously wonder if he's a racist doing a semi-lovely job of hiding it, or if, like, he just doesn't realize. Like, could a person read through the Official RPG of Ratfaced Scandinavian Bigots and not notice it's for Nazis?

Yea I love the guy but he's apparently been in cryosleep since the TSR days and doesn't know he's basically trying to sell "What if D&D...but MORE generic and easily available in other sources???" It bums me out to see him having a rough go but I can't say it's not expected when he's trying to push 'we're not unique or special at all' and name recognition that's kinda a decade too late at best?
