As probably sole buyer of that novel I have to say that the reading of Christmas Presents around an open fire is certain to become as much of a tradition as chestnuts and cranberry sauce in our household. I have no worries about JarlFrank's ability to conjure titillating magic from mundane scenarios.
This how I always hear that tragic failure:
Guido worked with us until 17th of April of this year.
He called himself "Dragon" on our forums and we left it open to him when to reveal his involvement.
So yes, he did but no longer is working on Realms Beyond. People who know how tenses work could've gathered just as much from his tweet :p

Please rate Guido's competence level and professionalism on a scale from 1 to 10.

I hope he left you some good worldbuilding stuff and you don't have to rewrite a lot?
He produced Planescape: Torment and worked on Fallout 1, too games widely lauded and praised for both their writing and creative direction. Though we don't know the full extent of his involvement, I'd assume most people credit some level of skill to him based off of the sheer quality of those two products.

Guido made three of the best games I ever played, and I want to see if he can make another one.
It's not a shock that he didn't want to work unpaid until they get the Kickstarter funding, but my opinion is he shouldn't have tweeted about it and trash talked the project.
He's even less likely to get a paying job now.

Yes, everybody knows that. Except his job back then wasn't exactly to create the setting for those games, he hasn't done anything relevant in over a decade, his own crowdfunding efforts seemed neither amazing nor horribad. It's not exactly like knowing Tim Cain has been working on their character systems.
Anyway, I guess we might never know for certain now. I really hope RB is fucking amazing, but I've been hoping for that since the CC days anyway.

Guido's Ceres account was made August 03, 2017, and he left in April. He was with the project for over 8 months, did the story, setting, writer's journal, and then left trying to find a paying job. That doesn't sound bad, and when the developers are home and rested I want to hear more about the story and setting he invented.

Their Kickstarter should include a stretch goal to purchase from Guido Henkel the right to call their game "Deathfire".

... you think guys think "Realms Beyond" sounds more generic than Chaos Chronicles, an alliteration of a pair of the most common words in fantasy literature?

Chaos Chronicles part 2. It even ends the same.

I don't like either of those names, as they're both bland. On the other hand, I like the sound of Deathfire: Realms Beyond.

Turns out there is already a Realms Beyond on kickstarter, but it's already finished.

It's probably too late to change the name but I think it's best if you guys clear it up a bit before the actual KS starts (announcing it early is actually a great move so bravo).
