I suspect the crickets will still be out there with this re-query, but the advert for the rules sounded interesting. I was wondering whether anyone knows anything about the quality of the rules themselves as well as any backstory as to why they "failed to launch."
The second question is important to me independent of this particular rule set. I'm in a discussion with a publisher about what sort of things either the publisher or the game author need to address in order to maximize their possibility of success, especially in a crowded market and limited "play money" in the gamer's budget which drives how much they will spend on what. They will be launching a new set in the near future, but I'm concerned about their approach thus far in preps and marketing plans.
I've seen a lot of rules come (and go), launch and fizzle, launch and seem to gain traction but quickly fade, launch, succeed, but quickly find themselves up against other new and solid competitors. So I have a number of comments, questions and suggestions to pass along to them, but trying to see if I've missed any.
Thanks.
