There's also, "I haven't read or played the game and have opinions I got from the internet or a three second flip through Vehicles once which required six long years of therapy to recover from." Which seems to be oddly popular on some forums. You might argue that this camp will never buy anything but I say it's an apparently massive but untapped market ;)

Really, I have this pet peeve about the way people on some other forums can drop into a GURPS or Rolemaster thread to say how they are horrible and bad and complicated and require third grade math *gasp* but you get dog piled when you do the same thing on a D&D thread :D

Please drop the tangent. We can discuss GURPS’ perception without bashing other games or their fans.

NOTE: If you cannot be polite, and if you feel you must accuse someone of dishonesty, please do not post. Thank you.

You're right, I'm sorry, I've been an ass and you've been more than patient with me.

Citadel and DFM2 Stretch Goals: Falling Fast!

[HeatDeath]

Dangit, y'all! I was trying. I was trying very hard to stay away. I have a copy of Dungeon Fantasy that I've hardly touched, and I was trying very hard to stay away from the Monsters 2 Kickstarter. I figured "Hmmm. they seem to be moving slowly. Maybe I'll kick in for PDFs at the last minute if it'll help them out."

But no, you just had to go and post that 31 Reasons to Love DF article today.

Now I'm down a hundred bucks for Monsters 2, Companion, Citadel, Hall, and Grappling.

Dangit!

:)

[Truth be told, I'm probably gonna use most of it as fodder for solo-play in TFT Melee. Actually really looking forward to the Viking stuff for that.]

I guess you could say that you got T-Boned.

Wasn't that the name of the gang in Grease?

But. . . .
Buying gaming stuff

[swirls hypno-coin]

is what money is for, right?

Now, if only more newcomers would come along and follow your lead! The total has passed $45K, but it's moving along with the speed of a slime (the regular one, with MV 0.1). Well, I trust that in the final two days, it'll work up a final dash, maybe achieving the spritely MV 4 of a rock mite. . . .

New Final Stretch Goal: Hall of Judgment 2nd Edition($35,000)


As we enter the final two days of the Citadel at Nordvorn campaign, it has become clear that the "best we can do" figure is significantly in excess of the prior goal for the campaign at $30,000.

After thinking about it for a bit, I know what to do. At 35,000, I will get a reprint of Hall of Judgment done in the same style and quality as the offset run for Citadel at Norðvorn. Sewn and lay-flat binding. Heavy paper (100-105#, or 150-157gsm).

The new printing will include all of the new battle-maps done by Glynn Seal for the 2nd Edition of Lost Hall of Tyr, so the basic file is already done. If we hit this goal, everyone that already has a PDF of Hall of Judgment will get it upgraded to the new edition at no cost.

New maps?

Yes.

The new images show a lot more custom detail, all done by award-winning cartographer Glynn Seal (who has a Kickstarter of his own going on right now). He did the maps of Logiheimli in Hall of Judgment, and he's doing the maps in Citadel.

You can see the new maps in this blog post on GB.

If we hit the new goal, Hall of Judgment will have the maps inserted into the art spaces where the old maps were; I'll look into what it would take to get full-page maps in the back of the book as well, but no promises on that . . . it's already a full book and I'd need to add 16 pages to make it work.

But I'm not saying no either.

Regardless, a digital map pack will be available as well (HoJ PDF purchasers in the past may already have it; I uploaded it to Backerkit a while ago and sent it out).

"And That's All I Have to Say About That" (-F. Gump)

Wow. What a campaign. A potential offset print. Maybe a 144-page version of Citadel. Fantastic Dungeon Grappling in the boxed set itself (pinch me!), and contemplating awesome reprints of my old books.

No question: you guys are awesome.

However . . . to get the Big Goals, we need Big Conversion.

That means popping into Forum threads like these and commenting. A word from a backer goes so much further than a word from the creator. One is an endorsement; the other is spam. You know it, I know it, so I need your help:

• Wow: A GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Boxed Set (RPG.net)
• GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Is NOT A Failure (theRPGsite.com)
• That GURPS Thread (Also Includes The Fantasy Trip) (theRPGpub.com)
• Nordlond: The Citadel at Nordvorn (the SJG Forums)
• New monsters book for Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game

There's also Social Media - tweet, facebook, etc. I'll be repeating this announcement in a blog post over at Gaming Ballistic, and that will show up at @GMingBallistic on Twitter, the Gaming Ballistic page on Facebook, and on my page and account on MeWe (and if you're looking for ALL the places to find me on the net, go here and you can see them all).

We have 36 hours.
