#metoo but, if you've been watching the updates, you know I already did my bit and it's in layout. So I know little more than you.

Well, that inspires confidence...

I can't say I'll be the first inline for your next kickstarter.

Lying isn't protected speech.

Yes it is. It's right there within the 1st amendment. Anyone can lie about you and nothing will be done to them, unless you can prove damages in a court of law, which is extremely difficult and requires you to provide evidence that their lies could be used to specifically identify you and that you also suffered measurable damage (i.e. lost money and/or were physically attacked, etc. as a result). And if you're attacked or lost money because someone lied about a group you may have been affiliated with, but they didn't identify you specifically, you get nothing.

Not saying it's right or wrong. Just saying that lying is literally protected speech.

PS: Also, yes, getting someone banned off a "PrIvAtE pLaTfOrM" is censorship. "But...it's PrIvAtE pLaTfOrM" does not make it not censorship. It just means that people like to suck the dicks of corporations like fucking retards.

Not going to buy a thing.

Oh well, I was not running or funding this kickstarter, so I have little influence. But there likely won't be another kickstarter ever again.

And here's why I've never done a Kickstarter and am unlikely to ever do one.

In all fairness Pundit... If you did a KS I very much doubt it would end up like Zak's. Which had an estimated delivery date of June 2019 (if I remember correctly).

I don't think anyone really minds 'flexible deadlines' when it comes to RPG KS. It's only when they start going way off target people start to get pissed off. The second edition of Kult was another example of this. Grrrr.....

I wonder how Zak feels to find himself in the same 'late' boat as Alex de Campi.

You know, between all the bullshit of last year, I don't think anyone would begrudge things running late. I'm STILL waiting for the System Shock remake, myself. But y'know... there's comes a point where you gotta put up or shut up.

Oh, that's not true at all. That's not even consistently true within the US.

Not only is it true, it's red-letter law.  And it was enshrined into law (because the folks who did so were apparently wiser than today's bunch) because "lying" is a fundamentally subjective standard.  Anyone who has read a "fact check" done in the media knows that "lie" can mean anything from "doesn't interpret the facts the way that I do" to "fails to mention this other point."  That's why "lying" is a stupid and irrelevant charge.  What is important is whether or not what someone says is factual (and this is the reason why a factual statement cannot be legally defamatory, once again by red-letter law).  So if you want to tell me what someone said is not factual, I'll listen.  But your whole "Brad isn't able to provide statements to my standard and is therefore lying" mental masturbation earlier in the thread is the textbook example why no one with your mentality should ever be in a position of authority (or listened to by anyone in a position of authority), ever.   

At some point people will realize that the buildings on both sides of the street are on fire and the fire fighters are pumping kerosene onto the structures.  Then the brass dog machines will run down the moderates and take their books from their cold dead hands.  There are no winners in the culture wars.

Well, thank you, I appreciate that!

You ever going to release a second volume of the Old School Companion? I remember you mentioning it in the past, been on the look out.
