Quote from: Warboss Squee;1053618Why go to GenCon? He'd have to face all the backers he lied to and insulted.

Then he'd get sick and his butt would fall off. That guy's life is a shit version of "And then..."

Apparently he has now stated on Twitter that he'll finish "the thing" by the end of this week...

This reminds me of some of my high school projects, where I procrastinated for a month and then had to write a whole paper, including pictures or technical drawings overnight. The result was... not surprising.

That's how it must feel when after 7 years of nothing you decide to switch systems and rewrite a whole game in 2-3 months time. Ok, some of the background stuff can be copied, but all the small rules details, weapons charts, character templates, play examples, even the fluff can have a different style depending on how the rules resolve an action... And then there's layout, bookmarking, maybe spellchecking and proofreading. Either it comes out in December, or else the results could be... not surprising.

Edit: or does 'finish' mean just the bare .txt file, to send something to the backers?

Then the neighbourhood squirrel he grew up with as a kid might get hit by a car delaying his progress for the next 3-4 months.

Please don't give him any ideas for more excuses.

It would be funny if someone made a kick starter game where you play a designer trying to finish a game, can't do it, and must tactically use your excuses to explain why, thus stringing it out as long as possible.  Bonus points if this kick starter is delivered exactly on time, with exactly the promised components.  Names?  I like "Too Far West", subtitle "Not a Sequel!"

I would back that.

Sure he will. It'll be the same week that the libs stop pushing Russian Collusion, gaming in general responds well to a vigorous round of chemotherapy and I get crowned God-King of the Moon.

And...he's not blocked me on twitter yet.

"Pogrom" would have been much more apt -- though it would have had the side effect of taking out half this forum. Oops...

Also, I tried viewing those pics but the resolution is terri-bad to where I can't read half the text even with major browser zoom-in. Are you able to do a re-upload of them or rehost them somewhere else?

Pity he doesn't mention this on the KS comments page to his actual backers (people who paid him nearly $50K). Also that he's completely stopped providing updates. When did he say "by the end of this week"? Was that last week? The guy is a deluded, lying, arrogant asshole of the first degree.

He promised weekly updates, which clearly didn't happen. Yes, this guy is Grade A garbage and I hate that he's getting work from Modiphius. It's obviously their choice but it's given them some bad press.

Mind you, I didn't read this Tweet myself. I only read on RPGGeek that he posted it.

Ah, here it is:

I also came across a link to this, not sure if this has been posted earlier on:

I'm so glad I don't like stuff in my western RPGs and didn't back this.

I read that as Snuff and for a brief second was wondering what fresh hell someone was bringing to TTRPGs this time.

So he will finish it by tomorrow. Right? We should all hold our breath?
