Re: Dark City Games - Stretch Goals
Sadly, there are laws that govern a lot of this, and I can't see any of it happening in time for this Kickstarter -- though I think it would be wonderful to see it.
I suspect Guy IS pursuing getting his rights back; but I think that's a task that takes several years, and since Steve played his cards close to his chest while he was doing it, I imagine Guy is only just starting the process. I simply can't see Howard ever making his own IP available to us, so that's probably a non-starter from beginning to end. We have several lawyers who comment here regularly and are probably more conversant with the ins and outs of the law than I am, but I'd guess I'm not too far off the mark. One thing I DO know, however. Steve Jackson and Steve Jackson Games are honorable entities and would never willingly or knowingly even take a chance on infringing on copyrights for this or any other game. So whatever they do will be strictly on the up and up. |

I am in the very early stages of working on a "sequel" of sorts to GrailQuest however, having finally found an appropriately Arthurian hook on which to hang it. Not part of the Kickstarter, but it is in my plans to develop it once I have the time to do so. Pretty busy at the moment, though -- and about to be busier as soon as Steve sends me the "final" ITL manuscript. But I do appreciate the enthusiasm, honestly. That little game from long ago seems to have touched a chord. It brought me to here, in any case, and I'm enjoying being here a lot.

Re: Dark City Games - Stretch Goals
Well, for me, the great news is that you ARE going to pursue it. Grailquest was the best microquest done (in my personal opinion), and that's saying something because they were all pretty darn good. To this day, I use (somewhat more fleshed out) "Crossroads Inns" about the way you set them up! Thanks for making my roleplaying career better than it would have been otherwise!
Even better news? That you're also beginning to think about a sequel! TFT things just keep getting better! |

Re: Dark City Games - Stretch Goals
No thank you. They are not an added value for me and I don't want them. The small minority of you who do like them are free to buy them for yourselves.

Re: Dark City Games - Stretch Goals
You're certainly welcome to your own opinion of the value of these adventures. You have no data on which to base your assertion that a "small minority of you" want them, however, so your dismissive final comment is out of line. As Steve asked you in another thread, please remain civil to other posters. Thanks.
