This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

No, but Skarka sure took pre-order money for it.

Such a shame. GMS and Mike Nystul were among my favorite game designers way back when they designed games, instead of ripping off backers.

Nine years, boys!  Nine years since this game funded.  Nine years of "Just another week, it's off at the printers now!"

Something to think about, eh?

Heroquest 25th is in the same sinking boat. Except the courts in Saville Spain are not so kind.

So @A24 is releasing a complete RPG to tie in to their forthcoming film, THE GREEN KNIGHT.  @amazon released one for CARNIVAL ROW.

Just sayin', studios -- I know a bunch of TTRPG pros, myself included, who are ready and available to assist you.

1.  Not sure he should advertise himself as a professional.

2.  He probably is available to assist, since he's sure as hell not busy working on Far West.

At this time, it is just fascinating to watch him continue to get away with it, no consequences.
Now with a Zine!

Yep, this thread just keeps on giving. I'm still a backer, and I still have nothing. Happy 9 year anniversary, everyone!

Given it's 2020 and there is an ideologically driven agenda  backed by quota's I wasn't.

Well it's a fantasy world in which red paladins hunt down the fae so I find I don't much care.

Sure, it's somewhat hypocritical in that if things were reversed everyone would be screaming cultural appropriation...

...but it's hack fantasy not history or a real retelling of myth so I don't personally care.

I pledged to Cortex Plus and in the years waiting for it have lost any and all desire to actually read or run it. Apparently if I search through my emails I could find a link to a drop box where I can find the prerelease pdf, but that doesn't count as "delivered" to me.

If you don't have a dedicated site and it's not on drive thru yet, the game isn't "released".
1. Some of you culture warriors are so committed to the bit you'll throw out any nuance or common sense in fear it's 'giving in' to the other side.

2. I'm a married homeowner with a career and a child. I won life. You can't insult me.

3. I work in a Prison, your tough guy act is boring.
