"Is 50 SHades of VORpal strictly fantasy or can we expect guns, robots and tanks? Like, I was thinking how cool would tanks that fire a barrage of huge throwing stars might be?"-from the interview here; link

This makes me want to create my own Non-Starter campaign called "Unrealistic Expectations and Granfalloons". I'll set a modest goal of $100 to fund the project, which is for nothing, since I have no intention of doing anything, I just want to be paid for doing nothing. All the stretch goals can be non-existent items; "At $150 I send you a pleasant dream. Didn't get it? Check your spam box, no refunds." "At $200 I send you the pre-alpha beta version of the rules, it's a blank pdf, you fill in the rules you like. Pen not provided."

IMHO one of the funniest KS ever (even better than "potato salad" one:) - I was following this one from the beginning, really a lot of fun and laugh:) Actually hope he will start another one - definitely worth to back-up/pledge!

... wait a minute... I'm not a native english so I think I miss something... This is clearly a joke but the $$$ are real? Really someone pledged this one?
Funny but... nonsense, and something like a slap in the face for many, unsuccesful, real KS.
Hope I'm not too rude.

Funny but... nonsense, and something like a slap in the face for many, unsuccesful, real KS. Hope I'm not too rude. Nonsense, but very straightforward nonsense. He did a lot of things right to make this a success; -Reasonable funding goal -straightforward funding levels -amusing and attainable stretch goals -constant updates, extremely amusing that give you a good idea of what the game rules would actually be like. I don't believe there was any attempt at deception in any part of this, he really did give his mother a birthday card, and I'm sure he would buy a corvette if he got the funding. I kicked in $5 as I'm curious as to what the final product will turn out to be and I found the whole thing very entertaining.

I don't even understand if he's actually selling something or it is just a one-man-show....

From the discussion section on the DriveThru page:
If you don't have time to bind it, you can just three-hole punch it, and put it in 5,000 binders.

The game needs to come with a disclaimer that reading it may cause permanent IQ loss.
