I have to know if I'm overreacting.
I posted this over on reddit.
But here it is.
I backed
City Builder: Platinum Edition because well I saw it. I've started DMing, I want to build a major city in my own world and make it believable and this book has been released before and the creator wanted to release a new updated edition. Awesome right? A sweet hardcover to look at and get some ideas from.
They showed off some art in the latest update.
(this isn't the latest piece of art shown)
I can even show my kickstarter comment history, I don't care. It's not at all aggressive or vitriolic. For a stretch goal of $4000, I was hoping for something that is better than something I can create. I see 6 fingers one person, a woman who looks like she has the neck of an owl, and just something that makes me think of motel art.
This is all I said.
This afternoon I get an email.
How is someone like this running a project and can't take criticism especially one that seems pretty tame. I don't think I was being a huge dick.
Anyway, screw this project. I'll use my friends copy for free, download their PDF for free, and not even bother supporting them by getting a physical book.
