just putting this out just to marvelling at the size of balls (most stretchgoals announced: hiring new writers or designers ahhahah) of these guys. maybe Hundley is excited, who knows?? 

i've never even played the first one, so i skipped this one.
 
inxile has enough of my money atm, and it's not like they need my help. waiting to see if they can pull this off before funding more of their stuff.

monte cook's opinions about games design http://www.wizards.com/DnD/Article.aspx?x=dnd/4ll/20120123
 
summary: this guy... i do not trust him. i have no idea what any of this is other than monte cook is an idiot. sorry. hopefully it's good anyways.

whoa i have a memory you wrote about playing planescape?? amazing... we may never get to know...
and yeah that's pr reasonable/a lot of people has been saying that since they're pr much setting up their legacy with these two games (like on what par they're games are) but the practical reason for this kickstarter to occur this soon after WL2 is that they don't want their designers sit idly now that their job is finished with WL2. we'll see what comes out of this! on sidenote, im not too excited of mark morgan doin' the same ole stuff with music on this but Oh Well
