am admitted most liking bleeding, bloody, besotted, benighted or debauched to fill in the blank o' __________ bastards of black isle, but am thinking we would be satisfied with many combinations. HA! Good Fun!

well, the bloody beautiful bastards of black isle might be too much even for fluffle. HA! Good Fun!

the bloody bastards of black isle? sounds kinda fun. HA! Good Fun!

the black isle bastards ain't bad. for fluffle, could go with the ________ bastards of black isle. for fans o' alliteration. add another "b" word. and if black isle is problematic, just go with black island. HA! Good Fun!

ondra's bastards and yes, bastard is actual gender-neutral HA! Good Fun! ps could go with _______ bastards of ondra. should make leferd a bit happier. not m-rated, but still a bit more mature. just 'bout anything would work in the blank space. maybe not "obsidian."

sneaky HA! Good Fun!

perhaps try and go opposite rather than same. 'stead o' so much order, why not outcasts, rebels, castaways and derelicts? HA! Good Fun!

there is always double entendre, but sometimes a harpoon is just a harpoon. HA! Good Fun!

or, possible, like a conspiracy o' villains aligned for nefarious purpose. HA! Good Fun!

is a fair point camorra? guild? ring? conspiracy? kinda like camorra and ring. HA! Good Fun! ps with "ring" instead o' order, perhaps we might see an actual ring in the game. just a thought. Camorra reminds me of all the late 60s and 70s tv shows trying to find alternate words to use instead of "the mob" (most just went with 'Syndicate'). were a running "gag" in payback (1999.) porter keeps calling the criminal organization the "syndicate." for some reason folks wanna correct him. apparently the goons like to be known as the "outfit." regardless, if am gonna use fuligin or fuliginous, then camorra works a bit better than mob. but again, am not a fan o' "order." not obsidian neither. HA! Good Fun!

is a fair point camorra? guild? ring? conspiracy? kinda like camorra and ring. HA! Good Fun! ps with "ring" instead o' order, perhaps we might see a literal ring in the game. just a thought.

am in agreement. got infinite possibilities and yet most offerings sound far too similar. am actual not a fan o' any naming relying on "obsidian" and/or "order." the brotherhood of fuligin sails HA! Good Fun!

perhaps we missed something, but didn't josh claim he had (past tense) uploaded a video update explaining multiclass in poe2? any notion as to when we will get to see said video? HA! Good Fun!

the way we look at stretch goals, we ask self to consider if the goal were the final goal for the campaign, and the goal were not attained, how bad would we feel. meh. nice and all, but... meh. keep in mind, we do like the watercolor portraits. am thinking they is gonna add a distinct look to the game, but if this were the last goal and we came up $50,000 short, we wouldn't be broken up 'bout the funding fail. HA! Good Fun!

could class up the joint with a bit o' the carta marina: hic sunt dracones HA! Good Fun!

will pillage for rum HA! Good Fun!

the watercolor portraits appeal to our aesthetic. sure, we liked iwd's jason manley offerings for character portraits, but for the little dialog window portraits, such stuff would be wasted. will give the game a distinct look. nice little addition. however, is kinda a stretch as a stretch goal. there is ui customization at the same tier, and italian too, yes? not complete "meh." HA! Good Fun!

saw this first at the washington post, but not everybody has a digital subscription. philistines. anywho http://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/f-35-a-great-plane-now-thanks-to-president-trump-1791824958 more alternate facts. HA! Good Fun!

brings up another question: how long do we have before we need submit to obsidian? if obsidian needs our pirate crew and ship options by, just as a worst case scenario, march 1, then we should know o' such a deadline asap. HA! Good Fun!

I don’t think you’ll be able to multiclass into the same class. At least that’s how it is usually done. though a priest eothas/bleak walker paladin would be curious. HA! Good Fun!

opinion: get some kinda agreement on a basic concept/theme for the pirate crew/ship. karkarov's tommy gun wielding time-travelers might prove difficult given the limits o' the setting, but am thinking we shouldn't try and limit folks much. let folks come up with ideas, and then find a way to choose/vote for OUR theme. after we get an agreed 'pon theme, there will no doubt be butthurt, so hopeful money is already collected. next, have folks submit either captain or crew character pirate concepts/sketches. use artwork or biographical details. whatever. set a word count limit for bios. one submission per contributor. have karkarov or somebody else be final arbiter o' whether or not a submission fits enough with the group theme as to be viable. one spot reserved for karakov, but let rest be voted 'pon? come up with a top three for each available crew spot, or 15 total... assuming karakov gets one automatic. wanna have more money invested = more votes? fine. each $8 gets a vote? whatever. regardless, have contributors vote and then come up with a pool 'o crew and three captain candidates based on most votes received. fifteen total. let obsidian choose from shortlist o' fifteen. obsidian makes final choice results in less anger at fellow members and we likely get a better crew as obsidian is gonna need make work in the game. is our opinion. HA! Good Fun! ps we wouldn't care if people wanna use their board name as their character. pirate named osvir or shadysands is not gonna be at all distracting or problematic. make compelling. make fun. *shrug* real issue is gonna be how folks handle rejection, and possible cheating with votes.

much appreciated. thank you. as an aside, am still in favor o' supporting even if there is minimal customization o' the ship itself. design a marauding band o' pirates sounds like a nifty idea. am hoping a large number o' contributors can accept the reality o' only six main pirates. there will be people with fantastic character concepts who will not get those ideas realized in the game. need be mature 'bout this. HA! Good Fun!

thanks for feedback, but the underlined is kinda, well, vague. considering we are talking 'bout a $5000 investment, is there anyway we can get karkarov access to adam via email or whatever? a few more details would be helpful. maybe karkarov can pass along questions to you and you forward them. perhaps Gromnir seems unappreciative or difficult, but other than the adversarial pirate party, am wondering what the "customization options" actual entail. seems like kinda a major aspect o' the investment, no? regardless, thanks for quick response. HA! Good Fun!

bump you honest get more info from sa and tumblr than anywhere else. genesis post links to ALL josh posts in the poe2 thread at sa. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3807509&userid=17931 check if you want current info regarding poe2. HA! Good Fun!

as we already contributed, the stretch goals is intriguing but m00t. even so, we agree with ganrich in that we believe obsidian will save a few special goals as we get near the end. as long as it appears a steady stream o' pledges is being added, obsidian will largely makes "stretch goals" which they were no doubt planning/desiring to have added from the start regardless. real wish list kinda stuff will be near the end o' the campaign when we see another predictable increase in pledges. HA! Good Fun!
