Rahdo, you’re a great man. The designer is my friend. He was so worried about publishing it before. Your support is a huge push for a young designer like him. Respect!
Your friend has an incredible mind for game design. He should keep going with it, keep creating and thinking up new mechanics, and maybe even new games. I feel he has what it takes to grow a large following and make a good living out of his talent, if he keeps it up, and really puts himself out there. The kickstarter has my pledge.
OMG! A roll and write based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. That's so cool! I think I have to get it, as a fan of the epic (though, WOW, it can get astonishingly sexist...) and as someone who lived in what was then part of the eponymous Shu kingdom (Sichuan province).
