    My son has been calling this character Monkey Dong and I have been dealing with it maturely. Please think of my family during this time of crisis.

    When they used clip art in previous versions of the game, I turned up my nose and just played. I am astounded that they found a way to make the situation worse, but here we are. Please don't support this malarkey.

    I cannot believe I need to write any of this. @gamefound @BackerKit @Kickstarter @mythicgames
    Mythic Games sent me 2 ads yesterday for a game they are bringing to crowdfunding soon. I cannot believe the unmitigated gall this maneuver required. They failed to send many backers half the items for Darkest Dungeon and so far no items for 6: Siege or Monsterpocalypse.

They owe some backers 1000 dollars of undelivered pledges and they want to start a new campaign? Enough is enough. If the platforms want to be taken seriously they need to put an end to this. Do not let Mythic Games take more money until they have honored their current liabilities.

To continue to support this would look bad for your platform and for the game industry as a whole. Allowing a company to abuse customers, will drive people away from crowdfunding. As someone that livelihood partially depends on these platforms for their livelihood, I am asking you to remove them from your platform.

And if Mythic Games is reading this. How dare you. I had resolved not to comment on this situation, but really stepped in it

    This combined with seeing future content today for Root. This might be one of the best days here. I am so pleased right now with our team.

    Arcs is one of the finest board games yet made; a staggering achievement from a studio at the height of its powers. Our review, below:

    I am writing this on behalf of the smaller publishers out there. Recently prices to ship from factory to depot (typically a shipping container or part of a container on the ocean) have skyrocketed. We are looking at 300 to 600 percent increases. 1/4

    And all of this is a pitcher next to a bathtub compared to wage theft.

    I woke up to 4 notifications about this, this morning. Thanks everyone, this is pretty amazing.

    Leder Games is doing well considering the price of shipping. We're at 14 employees. We have solid cash reserves, no debt, and solid inventory heading into this holiday. We are window shopping for a building and considering how we will grow if we do.

    There isn't much chance of getting to you but here goes. I've raised millions on Kickstarter in my life. I would be happy to help you raise money for producing season 8. Either way your work has been an amazing mediation on the nature of failure and success. Thank you!
