I'm so tired of that type of marketing shit.
Do better. We expect more from restoration games.

Definitely a "wait for retail, get MM review copy" proposition for me at this point.

Mine isnt very Rosey. I know how exceedingly boring it can get pretty quickly and agree it needs an update.
But his statement about correcting it's design errors is a sharp and ill thought out statement. It had no design errors, merely deficiencies preventing it from being more compelling than it was, a kids game. But as it was, it was fine enough.
Whether poor choice of words or just a factual statement, not everyone wants a trash game that caters to the likes of the current euro standard commonly lauded on BGG, his main stack of rather vocally rabid believers.
I respect the guy, but I no longer take anything at face value because of a name. Seafall anyone?
I don't envy his job. Because there isn't much middle ground for the results. He'll either be lauded or scorned.
I do find it odd that he makes such a statement about memory being more Rosey on a game he is resurrecting based on such memories. It's a bit intellectually insulting in fact.
"Methinks thou dost recall erroneously desire for such a lovely dainty. Yet, consume such a thing as mine minds eye conceiveth, thou dullards."

Yikes, no. $400 on eBay right now. Maybe once the Kickstarter gets funded the price on the used ones will get more reasonable.

In 20 years, those guys will still be bad-asses. As for SEAL Team Flix, in 20 years I will drive around in my solid gold sports car, laughing.

Rob has hung his hat too heavily on LEGACY for so long now that I'm glad he's getting back into doing some new designs that don't involve taking older designs and creating living worlds (bah!) around them. Rob's got major street cred with me. We're talking about one of the men behind Heroscape. I have high hopes but the KS shit has gotten out of hand.
