From "Order of the Link", which claims to be a universal setting/system combo, and which, absent that description, I might have been willing to toss a couple bucks at.The Order of the Link's Rule Set has been perfected over more than 30 years - it was started in the early 1980's!

A single RPG that allows you to play Fantasy, Science Fiction, everything between.
Order of the Link is a game about balance. This means that, when you play, you may be good or evil, lawful or chaotic - it all depends on the situation!

The Order of the Link Rulebook Primer includes a single dice system perfected over these years, where you aim to roll less than your Skill (or your Attribute if you don't have the relevant Skill) on a d20.
Do any of those sound like an encouraging sales pitch to you? Almost everything in that design doc except where they promised Star Wars with more axe murdering sounded bad.However, it only has a limited amount of history and a selection of magic spells - which we will expand if we meet Stretch Goals.

Your freedom to run/play a game without needing to understand a complex rule system is in direct conflict with my freedom to play a character whose abilities and flaws function as I intended within that ruleset. Your freedom to add and change rules in the middle of the game is in direct conflict with my ability to understand that rules system before I decided whether or not to join your game.
In short, your entire post is dismissive of not merely my intelligence, but my agency. And I don't mean agency as a player within one of your games, I mean my agency as a person. You do not want me to be informed when I make the fundamental decisions of deciding whether to join your game or buying your rules system.

Just a heads up... Your post is pregnant... When you miss that many periods it's just a given.

Their playtest packet is linked from the Kickstarter site. I would bet money that they have a couple months of actual working on the rule set, because I see a lot or amateur concepts, stupidly worded things, and just a lot of bad ideas, which is saying something for how unusable their 'playtest' is due to lack of rules.fectin wrote:Those sound like a pitch where I would be willing to toss a small number of dollars at in return for the schadenfreudisch entertainment of a terrible system, and a potential quick review, and the offhand possibility of an interesting narrative conceit.

I started as a Middle Earth game player on an adventure fighting Orcs and dragons. Becoming a Link player allowed me to transcend role-playing and really become the character, because the character was me."
