I'm not a fan of foul language, but that man had a heckuva wit. 

The thing about George Carlin was that he only used the expletive words to emphasize something he was passionate about.

When the four letter worlds started being used, you knew you better Pay Attention because he was laying down something important.

Personally, I like it better.

Removing specifics regarding the timeline but keeping new backers informed about the order things will happen will be helpful without seeming like there is a commitment or promises being made regarding the length of time of each step.

 

Agreed. I certainly didn't intend to make promises but hey, that's why I ask for feedback (and listen when it's given).

I would miss the dates on that timeline, in an "I want to have my cake, and eat it too!" kind of way, but the revised version without dates is really likely to be the most practical and least harmless version, while still being as helpful as possible.  I think it works great

 

EDIT:  I do wish I'd saved a copy of the Grownup Version™ with the dates on it for my own use, though....

It's not often that one sees such intelligence coupled with that level of "colourful metaphors".

Thank you all for the feedback. You make some very good points.

I think I've found a solution that should make it better. 

Please have another look and let me know if you think this addresses the issues.

Better, but you still have specific dates for when kickstarter and reaper will handle "final" things, which may be off by a day or two... or more.

 

Once you have a final copy ready to go, I'll give more detailed input on specifics.  For now, note that you've left off the period on the last point in "data integration."  It's probably a spacing issue but there are ways around that (just kern that line a tiny bit). 

 

Also, I'd put a small note at the bottom of the entire thing noting that it is not from Reaper and not authorized by them, it is merely for general information.  Disclaimers go a long way to mitigating concerns.

It's almost ridiculous, I keep switching back over to the KS page and refreshing just in case it reached the goal. 

[Sylverthorne]

Almost..

Heh, ding. 

So, that's two unlocks in one day... not too shabby. I'm still thinking dragon for that shrine entrance, though.

I managed to move up into a wave one spot, so if anyone wants a wave three americas spot, one is open

Hit the manage your pledge button and then just change waves.

considering it is a fix tomorrow type job I'm guessing it may be that the label for Brinewind II is in the wrong spot (and it should be next to the castle near the ship)...
