final grade. Do I want it? No, I do not. As someone who is not a Wheel of Time fan, you did a very atrocious job of convincing me that I wanted this. Now, from the perspective of someone who's a Wheel of Time fan, I also feel like you did a very atrocious job of making me want this. From an uninspiring main image to an uninspiring description to an completely nothing burger of a video that does nothing more than waste 48 seconds of your time to a price that does not feel good and you don't explain to me why I should want this by showcasing components or anything by the fact that we had to ask for a rule booklet. By the fact that the solo mode just feels like it's going to be slapped on if you even get it. No stretch goals.

no unlocks, no exciting things, just the bare freaking minimum in so many different aspects. And it's it's just it reeks of not Kickstarter standard and just hoping because we have the wheel of time we can do it. And they did. They got $686,000. Kudos for them. They got the IP and that's all you had to do. So, do I want Yeah, if I'm a fan, maybe. But not for that price. Doesn't feel good. Can you do it? Yeah. You're you're you're asking for $120 to make that game. Okay. So, yeah, I think you'll have plenty of money to make this incredibly unimpressive game from a manufacturing perspective. And I'm not trying to insult this game at all. I'm just saying there are some components, there are some parts of games that cost more to manufacture. And there is nothing here that really looks like it's that expensive to manufacture. This, I would imagine, is just a cardboard pop out that you construct. Like, this is not a $90 game. And it damn sure doesn't feel like a $120 game. And it, oh my god, Punch Me in the Stomach does not feel like a $289 game. So, how much is it? Feels terrible. Can you do it?

Doesn't feel good. And do I want it is no and no. So, final grade for War of the Dragon, the Wheel of Time. I'm going with a D. And honestly, you could probably talk me into a lower grade easily. Be like, "Man, where is that video? What was your favorite part of that video?" And I'd say, "Oh, it was when you mentioned once again that this people who made good games." That's the best part. Like, even when you revealed the map, it was a terrible map reveal. Like, it did. It could have been a playmat. It could have been like a cool unscrolling playmat or something like you could have showcased components or minis or any number of things. I'm so sick of this campaign. Direwolf stands for D or of the Dagon the Wheel of Time D. Hopefully when they launch the expansion in the future, they take a look around the room at the industry standard and pick up that extra million dollars that's probably going to be left on the table. And I hate to be an who says that, but you're telling me you could not have come up with a better video with than that, a better description than that, that people have to ask you how long your game is in the comments because you couldn't be bothered and you you're just like, "Check the BG link." What? What are you doing? Who's running this? I do want to check that. We gave it a D, but I want to see if it's like some third party. Pulling Power Media.

Yes, I Pulling Power Media. Let's check out these 24 projects. I wonder if this is a company that what connection they have. Scroll down. I'm trying to Can I Is it I skip it. Okay, I won't scroll down. I'm try Oh. Oh. Oh, you actually just scroll the wheel. I'm skipping. We are a high performance creative and digital advertising agency. Is uh is uh okay. Yeah. I wonder if they make your Kickstarter pages because this one is uh wow. D. Let me know in the comments below what's your final grade for War of the Dragon. We have a time game. Whatever the stupid subtitle is. Oh, WAIT. OR ALL THESE MINIS.

OH, whether you have miniatures. So, who have 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 37 28 29. So, oh, there's 30 minis. And I legitimately thought there might have been three at various different points. That is D minus. Just you being unaware THAT YOU SHOULD SPOTLIGHT YOUR MINIS is just duh. The letter D just KEEPS COMING UP. D MINUS. Let's get out of here before I somehow drag it down to an F. I was having a great day. Bye. Golly.
