So I take it with this sort of thing a "pledge" means you get nothing, even if the project doesn't come out. But you still would pay full price for the game on top of that once it gets released?

I don't back kickstarters, I got burned once and won't again. Nothing personal to anyone else. Call me paranoid, but I even wonder if those tickers are accurate, after all its their own page, no independent oversight.

In the comics Zargon (Morcar?) was like a more slender, elf looking dude, wasn't he? I forget.

Now if they were twins all along, I guess that would be kind of interesting. If you want to join this old wizard's club, you've got to look like this... (hands cape and stick on beard).


The Marvel guy looked like this:

I've got this mini and one of the Santa-lookin dude too.

Ha! And you could saw the head off one of those "Dread" warriors and put it in place of the block he's putting his foot on. Then sculpt a real "Chaos" head for the guy. Maybe.

Well, after all that Hype, I need a break. Enjoy, folks. Here's hoping customers don't get screwed over on this one. November will be here before you know it...

Somehow I am not very excited. Well, after years of development I have everything my heart wants, maybe it's that.

Or that they have apparently exactly the old game without many updates?
Or that they won't send it here where I live?
Or that the furniture is grey?

I don't know what it is. I'll follow it, though, maybe Stephen Baker's quest book is good. I'd like to make contact and present him with Whitebeard's Dungeons Dark and Mohawks Questimator.

$344k on opening day. I've seen this before with the Critical Role kickstarter... they're going to have to come up with some more stretch goals.
