    Things that are making me think "Nope.": $5 extra to get a digital copy of the game's MANUAL. "Extreme" units for high level backers (which means anyone who doesn't pay that will ALWAYS be disadvantaged in multiplayer).

    While I love the concept, elements of the Kickstarter are making me VERY reluctant to let them have my money. Even though it would be cheaper, and I have greater confidence in its release, than the other video game I've backed.

    Yeah, I haven't backed any video games. I'm not excited about waiting over a year for release.

    Oh man I want this so badly, but I will not support "Pay to Win" tactics.

    Dang. I hadn't noticed the pay to win bit. That does make me much less excited - but if the single player campaign is robust, then it might still be worth it.

    But pay to win is icky. CONFLICT.

    Theres way too many unknowns for a video game. Once its out and i can see actual screenshots and gameplay demos, then i would buy. So remind me to check this out next year :-)

    In the tabletop game "extreme" models have the same stats as their normal versions. They only look different.

    I expect this to be the same in the video game.

    If that's the case, then they need to state it. As it stands, last I saw, there was no mention of the "extreme" units being mechanically equivalent, which leads to people drawing their own conclusions.

    They're doing a lot wrong here...

    They're clearly targeting the Kickstarter at people who already play the tabletop game. I am not one of those people.

This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players.

This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
