My biggest issue is the lack of finished material being shown. Even some of the art is from Mongoose books (maybe most? I didn't check all of it, but I recognised some pieces and managed to find it in existing Mongoose products). Nothing wrong with that (assuming it's all above table with...

... but GURPS is not "the world's most popular rules".

One question about the Pioneer Kickstarter, will there be shipping costs later on, or is shipping (worldwide?) included? I've read the KS page a couple time, including searching for "shipping", but I didn't spot this info (might have overlooked it, or it might be I just need more coffee...

Owlbear Rodeo is a browser-based tool which offers shared 2D maps (with a GM and a Player view), tokens (to be placed and moved on those maps) and shared die rolling. Foundry and Roll20 (the other big players in that space) offer the same, plus more. All of those are meant for group play over...

Oh, and if there is AI being used in a product, I'd like it to be properly and clearly declared, so I have a choice.

I note that much of the discussion is about generative AI images (visual "art"). There's also the option to use generative AI to generate text. I've played with that a bit to see if it could generate fantasy (Forgotten Realms) content, like "retrieve info about Noble House X in Waterdeep, and...

Mine arrived today as well (in the Netherlands). Looks great! :)

... they would never get out ;)

... but how will I now sharpen my Traveller branded pencils? (I think they're from a Mongoose Kickstarter? :D )

There was a Mongoose Traveller 2e Starter Set back in 2017 or so, but that seems to have been discontinued (or I overlooked it on the site). The closest available now is the Traveller Explorer's Edition, which is around $1 in PDF format, Not sure how viable it would be to produce a starter...

Not sure I'd be the one to go into a deal like that. There (apparently) was a planned Rebel Moon RPG at one (early) point, but that deal went sour. It did get settled in the end: https://www.belloflostsouls.net/2024/01/evil-genius-games-and-netflix-settle-lawsuit-over-rebel-moon-rpg.html I get...

Not sure if you can edit the main page of the Kickstarter, but the graphic headers for addons have 2300 AD twice (one should be Paranoia).

Or put enough (but not the full thing, though I've also seen that done for some material) in the preview. At least the table of contents (if the product is big enough to warrant that) and a page or two, in the final layout. Give me an idea of what I'm getting. How much depends a lot on the size...

... my birthday was last week Friday, can I have it then? ;)

Picked up the pre-order for the book, and reading the PDF now. It looks awesome! Thanks, Shannon. "It all started with the purchase of D-Day (1961)" reminds me of my first "gaming" purchase. It was around '78 (making me 13 or 14). And the local bookshop (here in the Netherlands) had someone who...
