looks really good, im considering pledging but i cant seem to find out if the books come with maps to use with miniatures etc, also how easy would it be to convert to 4e?

[SamuraiJack]

There is some talk in the recent comments about converting it.. I've never played 4E so I can't speak on that.

[Arkady]

... trying to figure out what pledge levels actually get the book being funded is almost as much fun as reading a 1980s VCR technical manual. Maybe that's why they're not really getting that much backing despite all the big names?

[SamuraiJack]

Maybe.. or bad promotion.. I think the first printed version is at $50 GM3 level..

[Sanwah]

And thank you, SamuraiJack, I wouldn't have found it without you....at the GM4 level.

[Arkady]

I've thought about it, and I have to admit the more positive intepretation would be to say their complicated Kickstarter loot tables have an old school feel to them.

 

Then again, ThAC0 was more straightforward to calculate than these pledges, so I might be insulting old school now...

[SamuraiJack]

Not pleased it's been 19 hours since I asked a question in the comments and it hasn't been addressed.. especially with 5 days left.. I'm in at GM4 right now too although I don't care about the imajewels or the dice..

[Orlando_the_Technicoloured]

Was it clear it was a serious rather than a rhetorical question? (try rephrasing it)

 

Have the comments flowed fast enough to hide it ? (maybe try asking again do the answer this time)

 

Was it answered by other posters ? (the Project creators may not bother answering if the other posters got it right)

 

If none of the above it could be a warning sign that they don't want to answer, so think about your pledge

[SamuraiJack]

he hasn't actually made a comment in 5 days.. it looks like he is updating the home page right now so maybe I'll get an answer today.. Its only the second post down from the top.. there isnt a lot of comment activity.. Right now it looks like the KS exclusive Adventure is only at the $35 and $90 levels, which seems odd..

[SamuraiJack]

home page updated.. no comments from the creator in the comment section now for 6 days and there are only 4 days left.. Doesn't give me a lot of confidence about communication after the KS...

 

This one has far better communication going on:

Comment from the Creator re Tower of Jing:

 

"OK everyone, the Tower of Jing is now open! You can add a PDF to any level for $5 and a laser print for $10. If you add it to a PDF-only pledge like GM 2: Mega Digital GM, then you must also add $5 for shipping and handling. Enjoy!OK everyone, the Tower of Jing is now open!

[SamuraiJack]

[Shogun]
