Remember that laser razor scam from a few years ago? Why not put it in a lawnmower?

Ah, yes, let's go from traumatic kinetic injuries to burnt retinas and battery explosions from the immense amount of power this would need to cut through wet grass.

The lawn mower render has three vertical beams, why on earth would you need three times the the power output to cut each blade of grass more than once?

Also they probably can't promise you a lawn mower since they don't have a working prototype that kickstarter requires (now, since embarrassments like the laser shaver), but are skirting that by trying to raise development funds instead.

I would be shocked if they put that much effort in, probably just drop shipping the thing.

I know seat risers are a thing for some folks with disabilities, I have no idea whether a multitiered system like this is actually solving an existing problem though. At least I feel like their heart's in the right place for once, anyway.

Yes, not so crazy. They give out toilet risers to people who've had hip replacements, so it's easier for them to sit while healing and the angle at their hip doesn't go past 90 degrees. So it's plausible.

Proudly supporting vanilla legends 1994-2014

We can't possibly have gone three months with nobody making a terrible Kickstarter, so here's a doozy:

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/support-tsr-against-wizards-of-the-coast#/discussion

In a nutshell: someone let the TSR trademark lapse through inattention, a bunch of idiots bought it and began publishing pirate copies of old D&D manuals, and are now crowdfunding a legal action against Wizards of the Coast for reasons too complex and stupid to list here.

Is there a summary somewhere? Cause that looks delightfully stupid but trying to piece together what's going on from just the campaign page doesn't seem like it'll work.

I also don’t know the background, but it seems like the main grievance of that campaign is that Wizards of the Coast includes a disclaimer with old D&D products acknowledging that they may be sexist and racist. (HINT: They are!) Apparently that’s a “woke” bridge to far for these guys!

Kolobog project: board game, book and platform

Imagine, every day somebody on the planet Earth wakes up in the morning with wonderful idea of how to improve whatever part of our life experience, although one can't do it alone and need collaborators with necessary skills and/or resources to get idea come into life, wether this idea is local community initiative or media project or something, that only particular creator can imagine.

Here is how "magic" part of the game works
Pursuing passion for project based cooperation facilitation, the idea and prototype for multi-stakeholder dealmaking has been manifested as Creators Negotiate game and club already, which, in its turn, came into life as a result of gamification of the same name book about negotiations of my authorship. Overall chamber-like concept, warmness and atmosphere of empathy in cooperation, normally accompanying game session experience, captured below. With help of you we will improve and adopt it for Kolobog project management methodology, which is, in essence, based on traditional media production process (pre-production, production and post-production).
