Your comments about lack of content and length were useful, but I tuned out once you started whinging about "sjws".

I know neither Jacob or his cronies will believe me, but I honestly wanted it to be good so I'd have a solid example to look to when writing A Sundered World.<br /><br />Other people have showed me/complained to me about the classes he's written, so I basically don't buy anything with his name on it. Not because he's lied about me or treats his supporters like crap, but because it's just plain BAD.<br /><br />Only thing I can say is to leave an honest review or rating, to serve as a warning to others that might be mislead. :-/David Guyllhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16299128722345607123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1790030420507335953.post-36230243643554235122015-12-05T22:40:36.436-08:002015-12-05T22:40:36.436-08:00God...

It's nice to hear what we did right, but it's better to hear what we did WRONG. As a quick aside, even though we hand out freebies to those that contribute, we're always willing to return the favor and look your stuff over!<br /><br />It's thanks to you and others not pulling your punches that we've improved by leaps and bounds over the past year: the psion took about 4 hours to complete (not counting art), the cultist took a few days (lotta research, compendium class, and cult rules), no one seems to have any problems with our oni (took a few hours), and the DW Mythoard adventure is basically done, and that took four evenings (counting the art and suggested changes, like detailing maps, adding more monsters, a page on a god, and a Silent Hill-esque puzzle).<br /><br />If we'd been too close-minded, full of ourselves, or whatever, we'd probably just be cranking out 3-page, $3 classes. I'm glad we don't and am reminded of this bit from one of your many 5-star reviews: <br /><br />"I just bought 6 Dungeon World-related class books from 6 different publishers. It seems the trend is to throw together a 3 page class playbook with little thought put into it and to charge me $1 per page. The only purchase of the 6 that has not been a disappointment was The Witch by Awful Good Games. Do not fret, the poor reviews for the other 5 products are coming, but I wanted to praise this product first."David Guyllhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16299128722345607123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1790030420507335953.post-16632459835644471672015-02-22T08:09:09.246-08:002015-02-22T08:09:09.246-08:00I am with you, David.

Also, you are always very open to discuss the playbooks, thru playtests, reviews, etc. I did a lot of comments and suggestions about other works of yours, and I can attest that lot of moves and objects were heavily changed while the projects are in progress, 'cause you make a good use of our playtesting and commenting phases. So absolutely no copy/paste or steal, here.Ishmadradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00834485227221285582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1790030420507335953.post-87471928433092934742015-02-17T12:28:08.939-08:002015-02-17T12:28:08.939-08:00@Victor: Which is the MO for every SJW I've ha...@Victor: Which is the MO for every SJW I've had the misfortune of dealing with.<br /><br />Anyone can look at the previews for both classes and see that aside from the name (which follows the naming conventions of all the other DW class-creators) they are NOTHING alike.David Guyllhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16299128722345607123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1790030420507335953.post-6690472706906794922015-02-17T10:07:45.552-08:002015-02-17T10:07:45.552-08:00Some people cant just handle someone doing somethi...Some people cant just handle someone doing something better than they can and so start claiming they have been copied.

I mean, you can glance at both and see that's objectively not the case.<br /><br />I agree about more than one type of witch or cultist (and, well, pretty much any other class). I said before over on G+ I think, that there are probably people that don't like either of our witches (or parts of it).<br /><br />If someone else makes a witch and/or cultist? Good for them. Maybe they'll do something better, or different in a way that neither of us thought of.David Guyllhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16299128722345607123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1790030420507335953.post-31857819855789061652015-02-17T06:56:01.501-08:002015-02-17T06:56:01.501-08:00I tried to engage him over twitter over the weeken...I tried to engage him over twitter over the weekend to point out that a similar name is not copying.
