Should do a Codex one saying it's for the servers and integrating new feminist critique, then stage some fake trolls, then reap the rewards.

Freeport: The City of Adventure for the Pathfinder RPG​

Freeport is one of the classic RPG city settings and we want to give it the deluxe treatment in a new 512 page sourcebook. Aaarrrrrr!​

We want to make a 512-page full color hardback for our Freeport city setting. It will include new locations, new NPCs, new monsters, and new adventures, powered by cutting edge Pathfinder rules.​

Note that while some of the PDF rewards are for older Freeport books that used the 3.5 d20 rules, Freeport: The City of Adventure, The Player's Guide to Freeport, and the Return to Freeport adventure series are all being done with Pathfinder rules.​

For the PnP and Pathfinder fags. Asking for 50K. At 30K and only 7 days to go. I thought some of the art was pretty fucking sweet. <3

Glad so see I was right.
But damn. A multimillionaire. She's one cold, calculating bitch. The kind you should marry. If you've seen Homeland, I imagine her as the VP's wife. Career-booster extraordinaire.

Well I just saw this website that has a list of everything wrong about that 9 year old kickstarter. https://kickstarterscam.jottit.com/ Also RPG Maker camp is seriously a thing? Really? Send your kid to a $800 course to learn how to use a $70 program that will be replaced once you learn how to use almost any other engine is now a thing. Ugh.

Wow. This mother is willing to exploit gender issues and throw her two sons under the bus to make a quick buck? Shameful.

If they don't take these down as soon as they are reported, they are going to be labelled Scamstarter and the good times will be over.

Why haven't they closed it though?

Don't they get 10% or something? I'm sure it'll take a little more outrage before they divest themselves of a few thousand bucks. Of course, since Kickstarter has exploded this last year or so I'm sure a drop in the bucket of their bottom line.

Shitty journalist says he contacted Kickstarter and they said it was ok because a game would be produced from it. Basically kickstarter is ok with it. They could have posted this on kickstarter at some point. Instead this has kind of gotten out of control with all the drama. Susan Wilson is also to blame since she just ignored any questions and concerns about the kickstarter. People are really pissed off now. Her friends and supporters have been insulting people all over the kickstarter comments, too.

I didn't report the kickstarter, but I actually asked a question about it whether it was against the rules, and my question was marked solved without an answer. I reopened it and it hasn't been solved or replied to yet.

She's also playing up the death threat angle even though no one really threatened her, they were just pissed because she comes off as a scammer. Link to "threats"

Time to start a kickstarter for hookers and blow and creating a 5-minute game in RPGMaker.
Just find a little girl's picture and talk about how mean and sexist boys are to her. Women will be lining up to give their money away.
