Wait for reals? I can put up with his books but that's just being an obtuse pillock.

some loving LIAR posted:I was talking about this one: At the time it was really clear to me that it was a FILL OUT THE loving KICKSTARTER SURVEY update, because I'd just received the backer survey email for my address. Apparently it's really really common for a chunk of backers to never enter their address into the survey, and then complain when they don't get their books.

fez_machine posted:At the time it was really clear to me that it was a FILL OUT THE loving KICKSTARTER SURVEY update, because I'd just received the backer survey email for my address. Yeah, see, I'd received the backer survey email like three weeks beforehand. I was sure, but not 100% sure, that it was a a survey reminder update. The problem was that the only people explicitly stating that that's what it was were other backers, speculating, and they were far outnumbered by the stream of people just posting their names as comments on the update. I, personally, had "enter[ed my] sigil on the record celestial" in the sense that I had completed the backer survey, but I think we can all agree how stupid that sounds. What if the "record celestial" is in fact the comment thread on the update, as at least fifty people appeared to believe? What if the "record celestial" is a page on burningwheel.com that nobody has otherwise mentioned? I locked the survey, but is that a "sigil"? "Form a queue—a query mark of human flesh." How? How does filling out a backer survey amount to a "queue"? Why does it have to be question-mark-shaped, if that is what "a query mark" means? "Prick thy fingers and watch incarnadine fluid pool, drip." The cover of the book is blue, so that might be the "cerulean gold," but why "gold," specifically? I was hoping for paper. If the update relates to shipping, why would the "stars" need to "point home to [me]"? I know where I live. Why are the messengers winged? In the United States, "winged" messengers, like Winged Mercury, are the trademark of FTD, the Florists' Telegraph Delivery. I'm not getting flowers. The US Postal Service has a creed that is derived from a description of Persian messengers; an allusion to a Greco-Roman divinity seems inapposite.

Theoretically, it'd be a cool message if, like, he'd just put at the bottom something likequote:[Or, in plain English, don't forget to fill out your backer surveys with your address, or we can't send you your book!] Then he still gets to do his stupid LARP nonsense, and not anger people/rip them off.

Oddly enough if you tweet at Luke, even if you're asking about Burning Wheel stuff, he's more than happy to respond in plain English. The in-character text appears to have been purely for the Kickstarter

Heyo, so I've decided I really like this game and I want to run it for my friends. I've read the rulebook a few times now so I feel pretty confident I have most of that stuff down. Is the Dread Crypt of Skogenby as suitable for newbie players and GMs as it says it is?

I am not a fan of either starting adventure as written tbh because neither have big enough maps to make cartography / exploring / camping down there feel like it makes sense. Like Skogenby has like six rooms in it so you don't really get a feel for the camp / exploration cycle that helps the game work. I think if you expanded out the tomb complex such that you can't basically see sunlight from the final room then it would work better - there's a bunch of other stuff that is fun in there. Having an explicit mission-based intro adventure for a game that really doesn't suit being assigned a mission is weird. The one in the book is better that way - you don't literally have a village asking you to save the maiden, you get to decide what to do.
