Thank you for the encouragement and the follow! I admit I am much in the same boat having had a cool idea, wanting to follow it to completion, and choosing to fund it out of pocket rather than crowd funding so I related pretty hard with your update. I also wrestled with some of these feelings during past playtests, especially with harsh criticism because my system wasn't more like others. While it is important to know your audience, it is also just as important to keep true to the vision. That said, I suppose that is much harder to do for our contemporaries who have to work with investors. One of the benefits of going the route we chose is we can experiment and design for the project over profit.
