Not the proper forum for this question, unfortunately. Matthew made quite clear that no one at Mongoose knows anything about the future of Lone Wolf. And even if they did they are now bound by an NDA related to the settlement of the severance action and couldn't say anything about it anyway. I...

Of course not. Nor would he ever be likely to so obligate himself. As per Msprange's announcement, Dever may possibly be considering giving those of us who were shafted with megadeals some nonspecific 'Lone Wolf material' to make up for the loss. Which could very easily be a tshirt or a Lone...

Yeah, I am trying to be optimistic. If they want to be resistant, they can surely make it difficult and inconvenient to get our money. Not impossible, of course. We ARE in the right here, as jilted consumers. But inconvenient enough that it isn't worth it for the few hundred dollars left after...

Yeah, we'll see what happens. I'll start going through my old storage drives to try and find the written confirmation, but I am certain I have it. My wife, both a CPA and an attorney, required me to get it before making the financial commitment. :P I distinctly remember the discussion...

Indeed. I will note, with some dismay, that there is no mention of a straight cash refund of the money we paid but did not receive product for. Their offer of full value for the total of megadeal in exchange for company credit would be great...except for the fact that Mongoose has lost the...

The long and short if it is that there are none. KS is basically a 'fund at your own risk' mechanic, which is why it is often difficult for small unknowns to even raise 5 grand while studios like inExile and Obsidian rake in millions and millions of dollars. People are more willing to commit...

Sure, easy enough to keep calm if you aren't one of the ones to whom Mongoose owes hundreds of dollars worth of books. The material has been completely gone from the website and the DriveThruRPG site for over 12 hours now and Mongoose hasn't deigned to breathe a word about it. No...

Who aside from the mentally ill would possibly fund a Kickstarter for a company that has clearly proven incapable of honoring their commitments? Mongoose already had a 'Kickstarter' for these books. It was called the Mega Deal. Why would anyone provide them more funds on spec when they have...

But many of us already PAID FOR ALL THESE BOOKS years in advance. Recession is no excuse. Most companies still manage to publish their stuff with zero money up front. We gave Mongoose tens of thousands of dollars to fund this project and we gave it to them in good faith that they would remain...

At least you weren't conned by the lure of half a dozen false/broken promises into shelling out hundreds of dollars over half a decade ago. Not to devalue your own frustration in any way...but five months? Some of us paid in full for these books more than five YEARS ago. And we are now...

The perils of paying someone for product in advance. The tens of thousands of dollars we (collectively) gave Mongoose when we signed up for the Megadeal have all been spent, years ago, and most likely on nothing whatsoever to do with Lone Wolf. Lesson learned, I suppose. At least on my part. I...

What's the point? The Lone Wolf books haven't been anywhere in the ballpark of the 'release schedule' since about 2008. If it isn't a disappearing artist, it's a printing problem. If not the printer's, then it's still on Dever's desk. Or a tardy bonus adventure manuscript. Or a cover artist...

If it assuages your anxiety at all, I am an original Mega Deal US customer as well and I haven't seen my copy either. They always come eventually.

Of course they're free to offer 'similar/different' deals whenever they want. I never made any statements that indicated otherwise. But the fact remains that I paid their company a great deal of money several years ago. I did so under the soft terms of a contract. Because the contract was...

Yeah. We paid a tad bit less. And have already been kept waiting for years past the original timeline that was provided when we wrote our big checks. Oh...and we have shelves full of misprinted, error-rife, unevenly-bound (my 1-4 don't synch up with my 5-16) books that arrive on a schedule...
