I was sorely tempted to participate in the recent Swords and Wizardry kickstarter. I don't really need another copy of Swords and Wizardry, but one of the add-ons was sets of resource cards, something dear to my heart. Unfortunately, there we no proofs or previews of the actual cards, or I might have pledged.
It will be interesting to watch the post-completion updates to the kickstarter, to see if they provide some sample cards.
Yeah I hope they sell them after the kickstarter or at least the pdf's. I was mightily tempted to donate $5 so I could pick up the item and encounter deck but like you decided to hold off since there was no preview of the cards.
ReplyDeleteI held off because I didn't get Rappan Athuk in a timely fashion and saw it at Gen Con. Sure, there are some freebies like the PDFs and some special PDFs but I was... annoyed at seeing it at Gen Con without a way to pick it up like other Kickstarters were.
ReplyDeleteKickstarter add ons are often things **to be created**. No proofs provided because the don't exist (and would not unless pledge level reached).
ReplyDeleteYou gotta go on faith and reputation of people running the Kickstarter.
Even though I pledged enough to get all printed decks I hope they PDFs are made available.
