Yep, Joe Bloch (the Greyhawk Grognard), JoetheLawyer, and I kicked off a new twice-a-month livestream this past Sunday night - Sunday Night Special will be the first and third Sundays of the month @ 9 PM ET.
We had a VERY active live audience, and we want to reward our viewers by asking for their input on the topic for the next episode, on Nov 2nd. So, we put up a survey:
Vote and control our destiny...
I am a huge fan of Dirk Stanley/Simean Circle Games. Their Far Away Land RPG is one of my all-time favorite RPGs - light, atmospheric, and tons of content for it.
Torch Fail RPG and Miniatures is Dirk's latest Kickstarter, and while it may be his latest Kickstarter, his art style remains consistent, and I love it. I may need to finally set up my 3D printer.
In any case, I backed for the rules and STL files.
What is this Project All About?
This project has two parts: the Torch Fail RPG and the Miniatures. All rewards will be delivered as digital rewards: the Torch Fail books in PDF format and the Miniatures in STL format. Backers have a choice to get the game, the minis, or the game and the minis. The Torch Fail RPG is OSR-compatible.

Short of some MAJOR Angel Backers stepping up - and they would have done already if they planned to at all, you can call this done.
The Gygax Memorial Fund Kickstarter is NOT going to fund. It's currently sitting at $47,333 with two weeks to fund - less than a third of its goal. Paul hasn't posted an update in over a week.
Personally, I feel this was a foolish way to try to put money into the GMF, but what do I know? I've only followed this trainwreck for over a decade...
Baggage is just that - baggage - it weighs you down. This Kickstarter had enough baggage to choke a whale.
