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.
The RPGPundit's Own Forum Rules
This part of the site is controlled by the RPGPundit. This is where he discusses topics that he finds interesting. You may post here, but understand that there are limits. The RPGPundit can shut down any thread, topic of discussion, or user in a thread at his pleasure. This part of the site is essentially his house, so keep that in mind. Note that this is the only part of the site where political discussion is permitted, but is regulated by the RPGPundit.

Are you a backer, Silas1066? I just checked our records and you are not showing up.

If you are not a backer, why do you keep hammering at rumors handed to you by people you should be talking to and questioning now?

I'm standing by the fact that this was a blatant use of the Gygax name to try to appeal to OSR grognards with Gygax-fetish.


Show us on the doll where Ernie and Ben touched you in a bad way, because you're being even more of an asshole than usual.

And as King of the Assholes, I should know.
You should go to GaryCon.  Period.

Gronan, why the +3 HP? It's one of the few monsters who gets a HD+X vs. just a HD.

No, I am not a backer

If I had a big imaginary portfolio like Ulairi, and extensive fictional real estate holdings like he does, I could throw a few bucks at it.

(in five minutes Ulairi will drop his cheez whiz and run through his little kitchen with his big bitch tits flapping to take another shot at me: Ernie must be defended!)

I think libeling people is a shitty thing to do. You're pretty okay with it because you're a shitty person.

You’re a fucking coward.

Silas1066, just shut the fuck up already.

Now there is no love lost between me and Benoist (political disagreement), but the man is doing his level best in what is a definitely shitty situation. He is being up front and honest with what is going on, so until you can demonstrably prove that he is acting in bad faith you need to shut that piehole of yours.
"Meh."

Maybe I'm cynical, but I consider "two years late" to be pretty normal for a Kickstarter.

But I figure out what I can afford to easily lose, which is why most of my backing is in the 15 to 25 dollar range.

I think you're on with this. At least that's been my experience.

Anyway, Ben does post a lot of Facebook and as we can see from this thread is open to coming here and answering questions. In the olden days of the internet their company website would have a forum where we can communicate but social media has replaced that.

Ben - If you're still reading. Any chance you'll go back to doing those YouTube updates? I enjoyed thoses and it is how I connect to the project now that I'm social media free.

Yes we are two years late and the writing phase is taking us way more time than anticipated. I was not forseeing the complication that would come from all the extra content unlocked and how that would complicate things exponentially. We are making our way through it and yes, the Marmoreal Tomb will be completed and delivered.


This is the recurring killer of KS campaigns. Stretch goals, extra content, and stuff that isnt the core.

Yep.  As I've said before, "Fuck stretch goals."

Cuz that's what Gary wrote in Volume 2 of the LBB.

I think he probably figured "what the hell, why not."
