Thoughts on soB

[Old Dwarf]

True the KS is only a couple of days old & there are a lot
more goodies to break out in stretch goals & ad-ons +
the thing is a year away..however a few observations are in order(IMO)

No not the bitching about the mine cart (just grow up) but
about THEME. The first thing I thought was The Old West vs
Lovecraft or a Portal to Hell(somewhere in my memory is a Mythos story about an old mine).

Instead theme wise it strikes me like the old GW Skirmish
Morthelm with Black Shards replacing Warp Stone.
Mutant humans & animals but also otherworld portals that
throw in Robots & alien warriors.

So I'm not sure how I'll handle this, I like the mutant theme
but the otherworlds so far really don't do it for me. I pledge
Outlaw Level so I'll get most of the Mutant & extra Hero stuff
& I can pick up the add-ons that apply for these groups.

Perhaps there will be a few otherworlds that fit the core
Games better that what I've seen so far. The Frogs have
explained the rational for some of these otherworlds
but I just seem to have trouble working this I to my
Game View.
