Jeez, I could do better than a DnD find&replace. Can I get paid $400k?

Well it seems they're hiring literally anybody who asks so I say go for it
The Neopets what?
By the way there's a Neopets tabletop RPG
Sorry uh.. sorry you had to find out this way
Wow, that sounds rough. I was definitely unaware there was one being made at all... Reworded DND rules sounds really rough too. This feels like a classic case of "it's best not to start a Kickstarter unless you are already mostly done with the core part of the project that doesn't take as much time and money". I.E. having the actual rules in a testable state so the Kickstarter money goes to paying graphic designers, editors, licensing, manufacturing, etc... :/
Well, I hope someone on the project pulls it together and gets something done for the fans out there.

What's even worse about this is that the original Kickstarter pitch said it'd be a classless, points based system. So to then go and just reword D&D is... yea. I'm not convinced anyone in the team actually knows what they're doing.
I can only hope that after being called out by the entire community maybe they used some of the rest of that $400,000 on a designer or two. I dont think so, but I have to dream.
I have not watched the video, but from your write up this sounds similar to what happened with Palladium Games' Robotech mini game kickstarter. I think it is still the most colossal failure of a KS to date.
Interesting, I literally stopped scrolling cause I had no idea about any of this. Nice vid tho I watched the whole thing. Have definitely felt this way about certain projects and releases before.
I've been REALLY good at not getting scammed by a game kickstarter before, but I failed to do my due diligence on this company and this feels like its finally happened to me.
If it makes you feel better, I have been watching Dino Run 2 make zero movement for like five years and I still paid the five bucks or whatever for the private free roam server file. It ran like shit for everyone but me, the host, and we never played it again but I needed a hit man.
Didn't know this was a thing either. Interesting. Excited to watch the video that I presume is summarizing all this drama.
