Astonishing that he's got the brass neck to be the public face of this D6 Space project on DTRPG. Self awarenesss isn't his friend, I guess

Exactly.(...) Self awarenesss isn't his friend, I guess
Look asshole if you want to refer to me use my name, you worthless piece of crap!Yeah, that's where I first encountered him. Much like certain other especially abrasive personalities known to forums in the past, it was apparently impossible for GMS to disagree with anyone without personally insulting them, or feeling personally insulted in return that anyone dare contradict him. In fact the similarities between his posting style and a certain fellow who shall not be named are quite striking.
"No, I'm Spartacus!"Look asshole if you want to refer to me use my name, you worthless piece of crap!
Their reasoning against a cheaper PDF price doesn’t make any sense.
Well, I mean, one of them literally is Gareth Michael Skarka.I think they must be older folks. I can see the reasoning - "if we give them a cheaper pdf option no one will buy the physical book!", which is something one might expect to encounter as a sentiment in the early aughts. But it's a woeful misunderstanding of the current market

... Is this some kind of weird sex thing?Nobody on this forum has any interest whatsoever in using your name until at least three weeks after we've run out of cotton swabs, toothpicks, and bendy straws.
... Is this some kind of weird sex thing?
Fixed that.No, just boredom. When we're all done with makeovers and gossip, we all go into the bathroom with the lights off and say Bunch's name three times in the mirror while spinning in a circle.
I keep telling them it's never going to work without the ritual gaggle of geese sacrifice...

You're not convincing me that this isn't a weird sex thing, Tristram.No, just boredom. When we're all done with makeovers and gossip, we all go into the bathroom with the lights off and say Bunch's name three times in the mirror while spinning in a circle.

That's severla layers deep of fucked up.So we now have a new non-missed (for now) deadline. The circumstances required for him to respond are very morbid, though.

I mean... It does pay out. To the people who start it.Happy 100th anniversary to the Ponzi Scheme!
And still more likely than Gareth-Michael Skarka to deliver as promised!Happy Ponzi Day – 100 Years of Ponzi Schemes

Or if you get in early and are disciplined with your reinvestment.I mean... It does pay out. To the people who start it.
Oh and the prison system. It pays out splendidly to the prison system.Or if you get in early and are disciplined with your reinvestment.
I hate to ask, but do we know if that cancer claim is real?
Yes, that's a horrific question. But this whole thing is a shitshow. Making promises to someone suffering cancer after 9 years of broken promises seems....
It's just so sad, the poor guy must surely know Skarka is never going to make good on this. If it was going to come out, given that, by all acounts, most of it is written, it would have by now. But to then say - again - it's coming by the end fo the year, and in 2020!As there's no real way to verify, I prefer to think that someone wouldn't do that just to get a promise out of GMS, and have a bit of empathy instead.
That's literally the opposite of irony, actually.I find it ironic that the GMS-penned adventure for the recently released Star System supplement has as a possible plot twist the characters paying for an Exit Visa that won't be delivered for years...
If it is a work, and Skarka invented him to get some positive publicity... well, that's pretty low. And if it's legit and Skarka's willing to lie to the guy... that's pretty low too.I hate to ask, but do we know if that cancer claim is real?
Yes, that's a horrific question. But this whole thing is a shitshow. Making promises to someone suffering cancer after 9 years of broken promises seems....
I wasn't suggesting that!If it is a work, and Skarka invented him to get some positive publicity... well, that's pretty low. And if it's legit and Skarka's willing to lie to the guy... that's pretty low too.
Either way, what worse thing can people say about Skarka than the truth?
I think we can answer that question now....If I was a terrible person, I'd say something about how, "All this has taken a darq turn." but... only if I was a terrible person.
The offered that for Infinity as well and delivered.Didn't modipheous offer something like that for Conan?
And yet why the fuck does he just not release what he has and be done with it!

I would like to add that I really agree with TristramEvans here. There are some scams, but overall Kickstarter has definitely been a net positive. Tabletop games as an industry has never recovered from the CCG crash of the late 90's. Traditional methods of funding are closed to tabletop games companies unless they have an already popular and established brand.
Kickstarter and Indigogo have had a huge positive influence on the industry and allowed the publication of new exciting games that wouldn't have seen the light of day any other way. It would be nothing short of a tragedy if Kickstarter were to raise the barriers of entry so high no one can get in, or go away entirely just because of a few failed projects.
Kickstarter doesn't need to change, the Law needs to catch up. The idea of giving the same legal protections to a person who backed $150 board game as someone who put forth $50,000 or $1 Million to invest in a company is absurd. Perhaps an expansion to consumer protection law recognizing Backers as a separate class from both Customers and Investors and allowing them to request chargebacks up to two years from the date the project was funded?
I'd agree that it's been a net positive. However, not so sure about consumer protections, nor even how to navigate those waters. When you're backing a Kickstarter, you're backing a project that might fail. It's not quite a prospectus as in purchasing part of company. But it's definitely not a retail arm. Kickstarters can fail honestly. And if you back, you have to realize this. Whether it's from lack of information on the part of the creators, changing market conditions, or any other number of reasons, the project can just fail. That's why you do your due diligence, and they're supposed to disclose risks. As I've backed more and more projects, I've refined my red flags to the point that my risk on projects is minimal. They might be late, or might not be necessarily to the quality that I expected, but I haven't had any just not deliver in a while.
If they held all of these to be the same thing, then you'd stifle any gains that you say that the platform has allowed.
