Really? No posts asking questions?
Here, I'll do the work since you wont'; just like I admitted to not doing on your website.
Question: How do multiple characters combine to perform a skill check.

Final answer; make it up yourself, since the rules don't explain it.
No official answer but a general opinion of posters.

Question:How do clerics get their spells?
Further down in the same thread.
Someone else posted the question in another thread and I posted in it.
I can't find it at the moment.
Here's a three page thread about another publisher who hasn't fulfilled on their KS. Yet you got mad when I asked for your credintials.

True, I never directly asked YOU for YOUR creditials. Anyone can post whatever they want for creditials on any webpage; al a` Wikipedia. I asked everyone else, what they thought of you. Have they ever bought or ordered from you or your company. I asked for testimonials for previous customers.
Every other person I've seen ask people to back their KS on a site other than their own, state their creditials and previous work.
In your original post, you state what you want to write, it's format and your inspiriation.
All well and good, and being a child of the 60's-70's, a subject matter that interests me. Books I've read, movies and TV shows I've watched, or own.
But nowhere did you state what you've written, who you worked for or with; and more importantly; what other work you've completed and why we should support you.
You listed your website. An elitest attitude of go look for yourself, I'm to important to state it.
First thing on your website, is an apology of a failed KS. Further on, as pointed out by another poster in this thread, is statements about delays in other material.
My thoughts then were, OK, good product, but possible problems with release. I'll buy it when it's released and pay more for the extras if they are released to the general public.
I ask for the publics opinion about you, and then get attacked.
I choose to ignore it and get attacked again when someone else asks the same question.
Now, when several others ask the same question and question you about why you attacked me, you go on attacking me more.
Let me state this yet again; I've never had a problem with any KS. So your comment on 'my negativity' about 'my history with other KS's' are blatantly false. I've stated this multiple times, yet you keep mis-stating it.
I had a problem with a subscription and got a full refund. I have purchased other products by this same author/creator. Still, no problem with him.
You got defensive to the point of aggresiveness, and because you said it, it's fine; because this is your thread.
Your attitude of, this is my thread, and no one can question me. "This is my ball and he wanted to take it" sound familiar?
No, I'm not got ask you if your honest. No one will ever say they aren't. I asked everyone else.
Do you go into a restaurant and ask them if their food is any good? No, you ask people your know, or even unbiased strangers for their opinion. Gee, that's exactly what I did here. Yet, you got mad and attacked me, becasue I didn't ask you if your food is any good.
So far all I'm hearing/reading is; the food is usually good, but the management is very aggresive when you comment on the customer service.
I like you how know what I was thinking when I asked about you. You have more than answered all of my questions about you, your product and your business.
IF I was being negative about you and your product, I would have stated: He's a thief. His first KS was a failure. He can't be trusted to complete one. If it somehow gets funded, he won't follow trough.
Namecalling, more great customer service. You called me an 'asshat' because of something someone else said in another post.
I've tried to refrain from namecalling, but I guess becaue this is YOUR THREAD, you can do whatever you want.
Not only are you ensuring I'll never buy a product from your company, but that I'll never buy anything you ever work on, for any company.
Others have already stated that they disagree with your posts/actions. I'll ask again: How many others have you driven away? The majority of people will read a post, but not comment on it; whether they agree or not.
YOUR negative attitude, YOUR agressive attacks on me are about to drive me away from DCC.
I bet GG will love to read that, if I send them a pm stating that because of the behavior of posters on THEIR FORUM and one specific third party publisher, I'm no longer buying their products.
There's alot of other games out there. I don't have to spend my money on a game that a third party licensed publisher treats potential customers like crap, berates them and calls then asshats.

I've read through your responses and was surprised at how strongly you reacted to the questions posed by marshal kt. Is this the type of customer service those who "gamble" on your Kickstarter can expect from you? If/when things start to go wrong and modules/add ons aren't delivered on time, are you going to go toe to toe with your backers and defend yourself as vigorously? Your module sounds interesting and like a lot of fun but I found your defensive reaction to the questions raised to be off putting.
With all due respect, it would only be a customer service issue if:
A. He actually asked ME a question. Not only did he ask it in a third party manner like I was invisible in this thread, but he impugned my integrity while he did it. And then defends himself by further impugning it while actually admitting he didn't read my website (which is all of 5 posts long at this point, as it is brand spanking new). His words:
You then attacked me, because I didn't bother to read your entire website. You could post whatever you wanted on the site.
B. He was actually here to ask about the product, which is the point of this thread, not to kvetch about Kickstarters and his failures with them.
C. If there was an actual Kickstarter to kvetch about. There isn't. There won't be until next year. I have to finish the manuscript first. As I stated in the post he
didn't read.
As for reacting strongly, it seems a company has only two options when dealing with these situations, both of which end up the same way:
A. Bite your tongue and keep silent, at which point you get this complaint:
I stated in my posts what drew me to DCC and then then problems there of. [BTW there still hasn't been an official answer to my questiosn. No one from the company can or will answer them?]
Uh, maybe because there was no question, just accusations of crap game design.
B. Defend yourself. At which point you're accused of crap customer service.
The reason I vociferously choose B? Because
Barbarians of the Aftermath lost a lot of customers in the beginning from me doing A while some other "$%^&*" [admin edit] went about slagging my book off on various forums, accusing me of stealing art without doing any more research than 'hey I recognize that picture. It must be art theft. I think I'll go make an accusation!'. I let other people come to the defense of my integrity by pointing out the obvious, trying to stay out of the fray. But eventually I had to jump in when the number of people just taking his word about my perfidy started to catch like internet fire. It took a LOT of work to clear that mess up. So, yeah, I get a little pissed when someone questions my honesty
without actually reading the very sources he's using to cast doubt on my abilities!

KS questions are good but have nothing to do with the content (please, don't reply saying content will not be published without a successful KS : we all know this fact).
+1 Exactly my point. In fact, I'm going to do you one better, start a new thread myself and relabel this one if I can. Everyone who is actually interested in what will be in the product as opposed to complaining about Kickstarter can follow me there. But before I do, someone has an
actual customer service comment that I don't want to get lost in the move...

That is something I know I'll eventually have to address, but I haven't really given it much thought. I imagine that it will work something along the lines of 'Go ahead and use it, but give me a credit in your book.'
