KickStarter Rebecca Heineman's Dragons of the Rip (formerly Dragon Wars 2)

Snorkack is an obvious plant. I'm sure this has been mentioned before.

 

[Snorkack]

Don't you have your fart thread for pointless bullshit?

No, the fart thread passed on. It's in a better place now.

 

[Snorkack]

Pity you didn't follow. Good thing is I know where to find the button for people like you

Upon further reflection, as interesting as a DW2 Kick-starter/Sequel is... who the hell really played that game? I played it, and some others did, but it really was the ass-end of the C64 era. It came out a year after Bard's Tale 3. Most people think of the shitty movie Dragon Wars that came out in 2007. How much hullaballoo can this really generate? I mean, I'd play it, but even in 1989 I was thinking: why do I have to look up paragraphs?

 

[Jaesun]

Someone on twitter ask her if Interplay/Herve is involved with this.

I just did. Let's hope not!

 

[Jaesun]

I will bet you all 100 MEELION Dollars he is.

 

[ghostdog]

I'm not even sure she has thought this through enough to consider who owns the IP and other stuff like that.

 

[Jaesun]

If not, she will now. I'd rather She make her own IP with no involvement at all from Herve.

 

[Alchemist]

A new IP might work just as well yeah. The Dragon Wars name only means something to a small minority of gamers. It's incredibly generic-sounding otherwise. And it sounds like a strategy game.

They should just mention the new game is "in the tradition of Bard's Tale and Dragon Wars" and call it something more interesting.

EXACTLY.

Looking up paragraphs reminds me of the Gold Box Adventurers Journal, which I happily did well into 1992.

 

[made]

As a shemale there are evidently only two avenues in life: porn, or eternal embitterment that you didn't make it into porn.

 

[LeStryfe79]

Yeah, seems kind of Shaker like. There's still hope though.

You are right, but I'd qualify it: I happily to this day like looking at those Adventurer Journals. I'd argue that they are little works of art unto themselves. A lot of work and care went into them, and in a sense maybe they were trying to capture the style of "choose your own adventure books" and Dungeon Modules. I wouldn't put the Wasteland Paragraphs or the Dragon Wars Paragraphs into the same category, even though I love both games.

 

[Jaesun]

She should just make a new IP called......

BARD WARS

Yeah, seems kind of Shaker like. There's still hope though.

Yeah, I really hope she isn't one of those developers that think OMG! I'mma gonna make a ARRR PEEE GEE! I'll make a KS page and let the money flow in. It's gonna be awesome guys!

Do your fucking homework.

 

[Daemongar]

I declare the loser to be the first one to advertise "retro-graphics"

 

[Zombra]

I thought of the absolute best/worst Codex joke name for this project. I can't even post it. Too ashamed of myself. PM me.

I never knew about Jaquays' design work, sounds awesome. But I was excited to see that name just because of old D&D art associations.

Spoiler

Fuck it, I'll back. I back a lot of KSs when I don't expect them to hit goal, just to make them feel better.

 

[vonAchdorf]

Spoiler

The old art is so much better than the new "Pathfinder et al." style.

I hope Jaquays' being in charge of the design rules out the cooperation with a certain other female developer with a thing for anime girls.

I would buy Bard Wars, a game where the success of the original Bard's adventure inspires generations upon generations to embark upon Bardhood, at which point the universe becomes overpopulated with bards, and you enter as one among many bitter, disillusioned would-be bards who must use their mass-produced lyre, half-arsed incantations and high charisma to beat off throngs of competing bards.

No argument here, but even the new stuff gives me that chintzy old D&D feeling, in a good way.

 

[Darkzone]

I think that in the Bard Wars, Fargo will surely win. Because if the going gets tough he can pull 'The Bard' card at Rebecca's Drag team. And Mr/Ms. Burger can not even pull a 'Roscoe's Energy Emporium' out of her sleeve. What she has in her sleeve or her deck is only the 'Two naked barbarians vs dragon' card. While Fargo has 'Garth's card of bad equipment', and the 'Mad god Tarjan' card in his card deck. And he gets through W2 and Torment a 'Temple healing' card of Kickstarter with the sound of 'Yoha mehibe healing' and his contos are full again.

I am interested in someone who says "I made Dragon Wars and i will make a game" much more than in all the people that say "I have never done nothing and will make a Baldur's gate spiritual successor".

I haven't played it myself, but i have seen someone playing it several times and i remember of something relatively unique.
