SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

Has it really been seven years since Far West was funded?

the fact that there are people rooting him on makes me laugh. He's let them down so many times, yet they still cheer him on. I've known drug addicts who disappointed their families less times that he's let down his ks backers

Quote from: Godfather Punk;1053805Edit: or does 'finish' mean just the bare .txt file, to send something to the backers?
Well, close. He's sending out pdf's of the first chapters, sans layout or art. So something, anything.

He already did that with the old version . . . that was allegedly so close to done that the printed books were going to be available within a month . . . back in 2012 . . .

I don't know if there are rules about linking to other forums, but just to be safe I'll give the info without a link. You can Google it if you want confirmation or further details. Anyway, a guy over at the Pub actually collected and made a list of GMS Far West announcements going back to early 2012. It's actually kind of hilarious how the more time goes by, the less ready the book seems to be. Like I'm not even mad about the money - with threads like this and that one with the list I've more than gotten my money's worth in entertainment.

Links and password removed for obvious reasons(not that I feel I owe him anything, but because I'm not a dick), but here's the text:
Quote from: Far WestHey there, folks --

Sorry to leave you hanging this week:  The short week following the weekend gig at the KC RenFest (which I mentioned to you) was pretty eventful -- not the least of which being my wife's birthday on Wednesday, and my oldest daughter's birthday today.  Eric was back in the office as of today, so we should be able to get back up to speed now.

Anyway -- here we are with two more chapters for you:  The next two chapters of the redesigned rules, in fact, as I've been giving you these in order, because that's the order that we're editing and sending them to layout.

This zip file contains Chapter V: IRON PALMS & NO-SHADOW KICKS -- the new Kung Fu system, with 80 different styles -- and Chapter VI: PILGRIMS ON THE DUST ROAD -- the section on Allegiances and the Clans.

The download is password protected -- your password is REDACTED.

REDACTED LINK

...and with that, I'm shutting down my office for the night.  I'll be working at the RenFest over the weekend (if you're in the area, come say hi!  Shop 338: Ruth Thompson Fantasy Art), and back in the office on Monday, and back into FAR WEST!

Oh -- as one more bit of info for you:  I've gone ahead and started a thread on the official Far West forums, for discussion and questions you might have about the new rules, now that you're getting them to look over.   The link for the thread is:

REDACTED LINK JUST TO BE SAFE

Hope to see you there!

Have a great weekend, everybody.

I went through my pledge list to get to this, which is in reverse chronological order, and I noticed something I had forgotten. Far West was actually the very first kickstarter I ever backed. Not kidding.

So he semi-kept his promise to semi-release the game?

Are the released chapters actually new and are they any good?

Anyone modifying their bets as to whether this actually comes out sometime in the next 10 years?
