This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

My friend, you certainly have my sympathies if you are a customer of this Dolmenwood.

Having said that, well, you know what I generally feel about smarmy, Liberal, Woke companies that like doing business with Commie China, and who oppose President Donald Trump, and MAGA.

Yes, that's right. It involves heavy boots, hammers, and if available, an absolute storm of NAPALM.

*Laughing*

Semper Fidelis,

SHARK

Those knuckleheads are down in your neck of the woods, despite their products always being shipped from the east coast.

Edit: don't napalm them, yet I would stop in to see the operation.

I backed this one.

I'm not especially up in arms about the delay.

I don't doubt the tariffs are a problem for Exalted Funeral. They're not the whole story, given that this kickstarter is already many months late. But that's kickstarter. I've seen very few that I backed deliver by the estimated fulfillment date. This is far from the worst I've seen.

The biggest problem really are the stretch goals for these big, over-elaborate projects. If everything is not already written or if near-tchotchkes (like minis, dice, dice bags -- pretty much anything other than books) are on the table, then there will almost certainly be substantial delay.

Situation normal: all fouled up.

Dolmenwood looked great when it first started. I listened to the live play of this setting by 3D6 Down Yhe Line and was really impressed by the setting. 

Then a few months in, the sensitivity readers had their way with the product and it became a complete letdown. 

This is why my stance is "Wait-and-see" when it comes to new stuff.
