The letters not on the table don't seem to give you points and it looks like the points value of letters is determined by random draw. The goal therefore appears to be to come up with a word that fits as many high-scoring letters in it as possible, not just any long word. Most people don't have the entire contents of the dictionary memorised, so the game is going to be about pitting your vocabulary against your friends'.

Shipping costs fluctuate and that's why no sane KS factors them into pledge levels any more, I'm not sure why anyone is still shocked by this.

Setting stuff that is tightly integrated via mechanics owns and is how things should be designed, just like mechanics embodying your theme. Generic systems and settings are poo poo and there's enough of them already. If your setting is just a pile of fluff with zero mechanics to represent it, you're doing it wrong.

Okay, but that comfort zone is poo poo and everything he produces in it is bad. Whether that's a result of the comfort zone being poo poo and Monte being mediocre, or the comfort zone being poo poo and Monte being poo poo, is academic. Yes, he's not SKR, but that only goes so far.

It looks neat, but I'm a little worried by this paragraph:quote:The Resistance is bolstered by an unlikely alliance of radical Leftists, right wing militias, Christian extremists, and wealthy entrepreneurs, whose grievances with the Regime overpower the seething contempt they have for each other. As linchpins of the Resistance, the Receivers must take great pains to prevent the alliance from fracturing. If they allow ideology to trump strategy, the factions will fall back on their worst tendencies, handing the Regime the political victories it needs to maintain a stranglehold on the people.
