Well done, Paizo.

Taylor how large is the client itself?

I think the installer was 1.1GB if I remember correctly??

Invites have been sent!

Excellent! Thank you!

-Dinan

This is great news! Thank you!

-Dinan

We talked about it.

As in, we're now saying things like "when we're in Alpha, we'll have the following procedures..."

and

"We need to rough out how we'll distribute Alpha access keys..."

PROGRESS!!!!!!

Woohoo! Thank you!

-Dinan

@Dinan It seems there will be no regular NDA, since this does not mesh with the whole idea of crowdforging.

Quote from Ryan: about alpha

Thanks, Tyncale. I appreciate the response.

I had a similar thought and thus why it caught me by surprise.

Cheers!

It would be pretty hard to hide that fact, given the clarification I have gotten on how strong of a NDA is expected.

I was curious about your post, Brutus. Is there a thread or something that I possibly didn't see describing the NDA?

Many thanks!

Dinan, no affiliation yet. I'm merely a lurker but happily supported the Kickstarter.

Cautious optimism is the best feeling to have at this point. I don't think anyone is 100% happy with all of the decisions so far.

Well said, Brutus.

Your posts are always level headed and well articulated.

I think the first Kickstarter was so successful because of the PnP product rewards. The new one lacks any of that.

I would agree with you on that, Rafkin. :) I think product rewards or in-game rewards that flag early supporters would be ideal. The more support given through Kickstarter, the cooler the in-game rewards should be.

I am proud to support this project and would love to be able to tell my fellow Pathfinder gamers just that. :)

Test. :)

it's not evil, it's pragmatic and a smart tactic. nothing in the paladins code forbids torture. and torture isn't an even an evil act. intellegent undead are assumed to be evil and a good paladin wants to see the undead follower suffer.

wow, justify much?

Utilizing any form of harm to interrogate or otherwise punish a prisoner of war is morally, ethically, contrary to the humane condition. A creature, whether born of dark magic and evil intent, a normal human, or any other creature that thinks and feels ( a status that can be long debated in itself)is the target of the act, not a justification.

This is why we have the Geneva Convention, and why much of the German military was held accountable for atrocious acts after WWII (for detailed information that I'm referencing open a book, or wake up during history class, whichever most applies to your situation.)

So now that we understand that the ends rarely, if ever, justify the means, replace "intelligent evil undead" with "my family member" and see how it hypocritical you sound. that, or morally psychotic, in which case you need to see a medical professional. STAT!

The reason a Paladin has a code, and the replied to is just weaving interpretation into generalization, is to protect people from the paladin as well as the paladin protecting the people. How often in real history have we seen the label "evil" slapped on a minority, so we can.....oh say, enslave them, keep them from voting/integrating when they're finally freed, Taking thier land/women/children/wealth in general, converting them to christianity and obliterating their culture.

I can go on, but will assume I've made my point. If you have to justify any questionable act as 'for the good', just own up to doing an evil act. the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

+1. This was a great post.

Another loss for America.

Agreed. Listened to the brothers for years. Sorry to see them go. :(
