I want to see you do a let's play. You're the resident RPG maniac after all, so it would be interesting to see how you talk and what you feel while playing your favourite games.

Also congratulations to Otherside Entertainment!

Eh, I am really not a fan of Tracy's novels. Yeah, yeah, I read the Dragonlance trilogy when I was eleven, but even then, I knew it in the back of my head it was not really good, not even as game fiction. :p

There is a big missed opportunity here, though, because once upon a time, long before they turned to writing, Tracy and his wife Laura wrote some genuinely excellent adventures for AD&D: Pharaoh, Oasis of the White Palm, The Lost Tomb of Martek, and Ravenloft. They had problems with increasing linearity and railroading (which got really bad in Martek, and later the Dragonlance adventure series), but they were full of memorable, off the wall dungeon puzzles and iconic locations:
* The Moebius Tower, a desert outpost trapped in temporal stasis, everything frozen in a single second, with the top of the tower connecting to the bottom in an infinite loop.
* The Skysea, a desert plain of flat glass, created by some ancient cataclysm and sailed by lightweight ships outfitted with diamond skates.
* An underground garden beneath a great pyramid, lit by cleverly placed mirrors, blooming with vegetation and palm trees laden with explosive fruits, surrounded by reverse-gravity traps.
* Even in Dragonlance, you can remember the ruined city of Xak-Tsaroth, swallowed by the earth and crisscrossed by waterfalls, or the battle with the giant slug under one of the other fortresses... that was pretty good.
The Hickmans had tremendous imagination, and Otherside should really have hired them as creative consultants and co-designers. :nono:

I see your troll-fu is as strong as ever. Here, let me rephrase that so not even you can pretend to misunderstand:





What makes you think they didn't? You think Otherside just randomly tapped them to write a tie-in novel?

You bastards didn't pledge enough. We're not getting Vorpal Bunnies now because you're all cheap! :mad:

Since you've clearly stated that you don't understand anything about Kickstarter, allow me to inform you. People only back things that are already doing well. This is why there is always a huge jump as soon as a project hits "funded" status. Therefore, pledging the highest I'd ever be willing to pledge increases the appearance of success of the project, thereby increasing the likelihood of other backers pledging. Ever heard of herd mentality? It very much applies to any successful Kickstarter project.

Further, you appear to have missed the part where I said I will gladly pledge $300 if we're close to a stretch goal at the end of the campaign.

Go back under your bridge, or the dumpster you live in, or wherever you typically crawl out of to spray bile at strangers.
