Brette:)

My sentiments exactly when I saw what he was doing...especially if/when it breaks all the stretch goals. As it is right now, I am getting 5 modules in print + PDF for $31 USD. Does anyone think he'll be selling them for $6 shipped once this is over? It just gets better and better the more people that support it. If it meets all bonus goals, I'll be getting 9 modules in print + PDF + a box or two all for $31. Who can pass it up especially with a known entity like BHP.

This kickstarter is going to bankrupt Brave Halfling publishing .... I am so worried for Adams .... hoping he did his math, cause I'm upping my pledge.

Hit the 4k mark in 5 days....I now get 7 modules in print for my $31 investment

I don't see it.  Where does the kickstarter mention 7 modules?

jarloch wrote:At the $31 level you get multiple copies of some modules, for 7 total various copies when the kickstarter was at $4K in funding.  I don't think Grey M meant 7 different modules.

Maybe I have the wrong link.  All I see is  Fallen Empires link that does not have the $31 option even listed.

Thank you.  That makes much more sense.

Great email update from John, appreciate these bonuses, I'm even more glad that I'm at $31 already

But isn't he also saying that he's going to get money back on the retail units and also just wants to put games in people's hands?
Whilst I'd not want John to lose money, I think he's clear that he doesn't intend to make $1000s in this.

I appreciate that Brette. John states that he doesn't see KS projects as a particularly ethical way to make $1000's but all he wants to do is put games in people's hands. As a 'punt' I get exactly what he's saying, start of cheaply and with reputation and a good product, you'll score back because his next venture (if he plans one) will be priced still reasonably but in a way that those who bought in early will want more and therefore he'll win.

I wasn't sure that the pledges we'd made so far covered shipping, but as you say, I'd be willing to cover that if it's necessary.

Of course, I don't want John to lose money, especially as he has been in a similar position for me, being out of work for so many months, but he seems confident in his game plan and I'll support him on that.
